You can determine whether CiscoSecure ACS services are running or stopped by accessing the Service Control page.
To determine the status of CiscoSecure ACS services, follow these steps:
Step1
In the navigation bar, click System Configuration .
Step2
Click Service Control .
The status of the services appears in the CiscoSecure ACS on hostname table, where hostname is the name of the CiscoSecure ACS.
Stopping, Starting, or Restarting Services
You can stop, start, or restart CiscoSecure ACS services as needed. This achieves the same result as starting and stopping CiscoSecure ACS services from within Windows Control panel. This procedure stops, starts, or restarts the CiscoSecure ACS services except for CSAdmin, which is responsible for the HTML interface.
Note
If the CSAdmin service needs to be restarted, you can do so using the Control Panel Services applet; however, it is best to allow CiscoSecure ACS to handle the services because there are dependencies in the order in which the services are started.
To stop, start, or restart CiscoSecure ACS services, follow these steps:
Step1
In the navigation bar, click System Configuration .
Step2
Click Service Control .
The status of the services appears in the CiscoSecure ACS on hostname table, where hostname is the name of the CiscoSecure ACS.
If the services are running, the Restart and Stop buttons appear at the bottom of the page.
If the services are stopped, the Start button appears at the bottom of the page.
Step3
Click Stop , Start , or Restart , as applicable.
The status of CiscoSecure ACS services changes to the state appropriate to the button you clicked.
Logging
You can configure CiscoSecure ACS to generate logs for administrative and accounting events, depending on the protocols and options you have enabled. For more information, including configuration steps, see "Overview"
Date Format Control
CiscoSecure ACS allows for one of two possible date formats in its logs, reports, and administrative interface. You can choose either a month/day/year format or a day/month/year format.
Setting the Date Format
Note
If you have reports that were generated before you changed the date format, be sure to move or rename them to avoid conflicts. For example, if you are using the month/day/year format, CiscoSecure ACS assigns the name 2001-07-12.csv to a report generated on July 12, 2001. If you subsequently change to the day/month/year format, on December 7, 2001, CiscoSecure ACS creates a file also named 2001-07-12.csv and overwrites the existing file.
To set the date format, follow these steps:
Step1
In the navigation bar, click System Configuration .
Step2
Click Date Format Control .
CiscoSecure ACS displays the Date Format Selection table.
Step3
Select a date format option.
Step4
Click Submit & Restart .
CiscoSecure ACS restarts its services and implements the date format you selected.
Note
For the new date format to be seen in the HTML interface reports, you must restart the connection to the CiscoSecure ACS. Click the Logoff button (a button with an X) in the upper-right corner of the browser window.
Local Password Management
You use the Local Password Management page to configure settings that apply to managing passwords stored in the CiscoSecure user database. It contains the following three sections:
•
Password Validation Options —These settings enable you to configure validation parameters for user passwords. CiscoSecure ACS enforces these rules when an administrator changes a user password in the CiscoSecure user database and when a user attempts to change passwords using the CiscoSecure Authentication Agent applet.
Note
Password validation options apply only to user passwords stored in the CiscoSecure user database. They do not apply to passwords in user records kept in external user databases nor do they apply to enable or admin passwords for Cisco IOS network devices.
The password validation options are listed below:
–
Password length between X and Y characters —Enforces that password lengths be between the values specified in the X and Y boxes, inclusive. CiscoSecure ACS supports passwords up to 32 characters long.
–
Password may not contain the username —Requires that a user password does not contain the username anywhere within it.
–
Password is different from the previous value —Requires a new user password to be different from the previous password.
–
Password must be alphanumeric —Requires a user password to contain both letters and numbers.
•
Remote Change Password —These settings enable you to configure whether Telnet password change is enabled and, if it is enabled, whether CiscoSecure ACS immediately sends the updated user data to its replication partners.
The remote change password options are listed below:
–
Disable TELNET Change Password against this ACS and return the following message to the users telnet session —When selected, this option disables the ability to perform password changes during a Telnet session hosted by a TACACS+ AAA client. Users who submit a password change receive the text message that you type in the corresponding box.
–
Upon remote user password change, immediately propagate the change to selected replication partners —This setting determines whether CiscoSecure ACS sends to its replication partners any passwords changed during a Telnet session hosted by a TACACS+ AAA client, by the CiscoSecure Authentication Agent, or by the User-Changeable Passwords web interface. The CiscoSecure ACSes configured as this CiscoSecure ACS's replication partners are listed below this check box.
This feature depends upon having the CiscoSecure Database Replication feature configured properly; however, replication scheduling does not apply to propagation of changed password information. Cisco Secure ACS sends changed password information immediately, regardless of replication scheduling.
Changed password information is replicated only to Cisco Secure ACSes that are properly configured to receive replication data from this Cisco Secure ACS. The automatically triggered cascade setting for the CiscoSecure Database Replication feature does not cause Cisco Secure ACSes that receive changed password information to send it to their replication partners.
For more information about CiscoSecure Database Replication, see CiscoSecure Database Replication .
•
Password Change Log File Management —These settings enable you to configure how CiscoSecure ACS handles log files generated for the User Password Change report. For more information about this report, see CiscoSecure ACS System Logs.
The log file management options for the User Password Changes Log are listed below:
–
Generate New File —You can specify the frequency at which CiscoSecure ACS creates a User Password Changes Log file: daily, weekly, monthly, or after the log reaches a size in kilobytes that you specify.
–
Manage Directory —You can specify whether CiscoSecure ACS controls the retention of log files. If enabled, this feature enables you to specify either the maximum number of files to retain or the maximum age of files to retain. If the maximum number of files is exceeded, CiscoSecure ACS deletes the oldest log file. If the maximum age of a file is exceeded, CiscoSecure ACS deletes the file.

About Cisco Secure ACS Backup
The ACS Backup feature backs up your CiscoSecure ACS system information to a file on the local hard drive. You can manually back up the CiscoSecure ACS system. You can also establish automated backups that occur at regular intervals or at selected days of the week and times. Maintaining backup files can minimize downtime if system information becomes corrupt or is misconfigured. We recommend copying the files to the hard drive on another system in case the hardware fails on the primary system.
For information about using a backup file to restore CiscoSecure ACS, see CiscoSecure ACS System Restore.
Backup File Locations
The default directory for backup files is the following:
drive
:\path\CSAuth\SystemBackupswhere drive is the local drive where you installed CiscoSecure ACS and path is the path from the root of drive to the CiscoSecure ACS directory. For example, if you installed CiscoSecure ACS version 3.0 in the default location, the default backup location would be
c:\Program Files\CiscoSecure ACS v3.0\CSAuth\System Backups.The filename given to a backup is determined by CiscoSecure ACS. For more information about filenames assigned to backup files generated by CiscoSecure ACS, see Backup Filenames and Locations.
Directory Management
You can configure the number of backup files to keep and the number of days after which backup files are deleted. The more complex your configuration and the more often you back up the system, the more diligent we recommend you be about clearing out old databases from the CiscoSecure ACS hard drive.
Components Backed Up
The ACS System Backup feature backs up the CiscoSecure ACS user database and information from the Windows Registry that is relevant to CiscoSecure ACS. The user database backup includes all user information, such as username, password, and other authentication information, including server certificates and the certificate trust list. The Windows Registry information includes any system information that is stored in the Windows Registry, such as NDG information, AAA client configuration, and administrator accounts.
Reports of Cisco Secure ACS Backups
When a system backup takes place, whether it was manually generated or scheduled, the event is logged in the Administration Audit report and the ACS Backup and Restore report. You can view recent reports in the Reports and Activity section of CiscoSecure ACS.
For more information about CiscoSecure ACS reports, see "Overview"

The ACS System Restore feature enables you to restore your system configuration from backup files generated by the ACS Backup feature. This feature helps minimize downtime if CiscoSecure ACS system information becomes corrupted or is misconfigured.
The ACS System Restore feature only works with backup files generated by a CiscoSecure ACS running an identical CiscoSecure ACS version and patch level.
Backup Filenames and Locations
The ACS System Restore feature restores the CiscoSecure ACS user database and CiscoSecure ACS Windows Registry information from a file that was created by the ACS Backup feature. CiscoSecure ACS writes backup files only on the local hard drive. You can restore from any backup file you select. For example, you can restore from the latest backup file, or if you suspect that the latest backup was incorrect, you can select an earlier backup file to restore from.
The backup directory is selected when you schedule backups or perform a manual backup. The default directory for backup files is the following:
drive
:\path\CSAuth\SystemBackupswhere drive is the local drive where you installed CiscoSecure ACS and path is the path from the root of drive to the CiscoSecure ACS directory. For example, if you installed CiscoSecure ACS version 3.0 in the default location, the default backup location would be:
c:\Program Files\CiscoSecure ACS v3.0\CSAuth\System BackupsCiscoSecure ACS creates backup files using the date and time format:
dd
-mmm-yyyyhh-nn-ss.dmpwhere:
•
dd is the date the backup started
•
mmm is the month, abbreviated in alphabetic characters
•
yyyy is the year
•
hh is the hour, in 24-hour format
•
nn is the minute
•
ss is the second at which the backup started
For example, if CiscoSecure ACS started a backup on October 13, 1999, 11:41:35 a.m., CiscoSecure ACS would generate a backup file named:
13-Oct-1999 11-41-35.dmpIf you are not sure of the location of the latest backup file, check your scheduled backup configuration on the ACS Backup page.
