When running ACS on Windows Server 2003, you might encounter event messages that falsely indicate that ACS services have failed. Bug CSCea91690 documents this issue. For details, see the Release Notes for Cisco Secure ACS Release 4.2.
Remote Agent Support
Cisco Secure ACS 4.2 supports Cisco Secure ACS Remote Agent on the Microsoft Windows and Solaris operating systems.
Windows Support for the Remote Agent
The Remote Agent runs only on English-language versions of the Windows operating system and service pack.
SNMP Support
ACS provides Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) support for the appliance only. The SNMP agent provides read-only SNMP v1 and SNMP v2c support. The supported Management Information Bases (MIBs) include:
•
Structure and Identification of Management Information for TCP/IP-based Internets (1155)
•
SNMP (1157)
•
MIB for Network Management of TCP/IP-based internets: MIB-II (1213)
•
MIB-II and LAN Manager MIB-II for Windows
•
Host Resources MIB (RFC 1514/2790)
Note
Support for the Host Resources MIB (RFC 1514/2790) does not include support for releases:
•
1.3.6.1.2.1.25, which is related to Microsoft hostmib.dll.
•
1.3.6.1.4.1, which is related to WinTrust.dll.
The SNMP agent is configurable on the appliance configuration page.
Tested Windows Security Patches
Note
The list of tested patches will be updated as additional patches are identified and tested.
Security Patch Process
Cisco Systems officially supports and encourages the installation of all Microsoft security patches for Windows 2000 Server and Windows Server 2003 when they are used with Cisco Secure ACS.
Cisco experience has shown that these patches do not cause problems with the operation of Cisco Secure ACS. If the installation of security patches does cause a problem with Cisco Secure ACS, contact the Cisco TAC and we will resolve the problem as quickly as possible.
For information about our process for evaluating and releasing Microsoft security patches for Cisco Secure ACS, see the "Cisco Secure ACS Q&A" area in the Product Literature area for the Cisco Secure Access Control Server SE at http://www.cisco.com
Windows Server 2003 Patches
We tested ACS with the following Windows Server 2003 patches:
Third-Party RADIUS and TACACS+ Clients
ACS fully interoperates with third-party RADIUS and TACACS+ client devices that adhere to the governing protocols. Support for RADIUS and TACACS+ functions depends on the device-specific implementation. For example, on a specific device:
•
TACACS+ might not be available for user authentication and authorization
•
RADIUS might not be available for administrative authentication and authorization
For TACACS+ devices, ACS conforms to the TACACS+ protocol as Cisco Systems defined in draft 1.78, which is available a http://www.cisco.com
For RADIUS, ACS conforms to the following Request For Comments (RFC):
•
RFC 2138—Remote Authentication Dial In User Service (RADIUS)
•
RFC 2139—RADIUS Accounting
•
RFC 2865—Remote Authentication Dial In User Service (RADIUS)
•
RFC 2866—RADIUS Accounting
•
RFC 2867—RADIUS Accounting for Tunnel Protocol Support
•
RFC 2868—RADIUS Attributes for Tunnel Protocol Support
•
RFC 2869—RADIUS Extensions
Note
For details regarding the implementation of vendor-specific attributes (VSAs), see the User Guide for Cisco Secure ACS 4.2.
For TACACS+ devices, ACS conforms to the TACACS+ protocol as Cisco Systems defined in draft 1.78, which is available at http://www.cisco.com.
