Introduction
ACS is a policy-driven access control system and an integration point for network access control and identity management.
The ACS 5.3 software runs either on a dedicated Cisco 1121 Secure Access Control System (CSACS-1121) appliance, or on a VMware server. However, ACS 5.3 continues to support the CSACS-1120 appliances that you have used for previous releases of ACS that you can upgrade to ACS 5.3.
This release of ACS provides new and enhanced functionality. Throughout this documentation, CSACS-1121 refers to the appliance hardware, and ACS Server refers to the ACS software.
Note When you install ACS 5.3 or upgrade any older version of ACS to ACS 5.3, you are strongly recommended to install the cumulative patch 5.3.0.40.4 or a later patch as a part of this installation or upgrade process. This patch includes some important fixes that are related to the upgrade process and Active Directory operations. You must install this patch if you are using Active Directory as the identity store in ACS.
You can upgrade ACS using two methods. For more information on the upgrading ACS, see http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/cisco_secure_access_control_system/5.3/installation/guide/csacs_upg.html#wp1194859.
If you use Re-imaging and Upgrading ACS Server method to upgrade ACS, then you must install the cumulative patch 5.3.0.40.4 or a later patch before restoring the backed up data from ACS 5.1 or 5.2 versions.
If you use Upgrading an ACS Server Using Application Upgrade Bundle method to upgrade ACS, then you must install the cumulative patch 5.3.0.40.4 or a later patch after the successful completion of the upgrade process.
Note that, while upgrading ACS with upgrade bundle method, some log collection related processes may not be restarted successfully. The log collection related processes will be restarted after installing the cumulative patch 5.3.0.40.4 or later. See Applying Cumulative Patches to install the cumulative patch in ACS.
Note ACS 5.3 does not retrieve domain local groups of users when you install patch 3 or a later patch.
Note When you import or export a.csv file from ACS 5.x, you need to turn off the popup blocker.
Note Cisco runs a security scan on the ACS application during every major release. We do not recommend you to run vulnerability scanning in ACS Production Environment because such an operation carries risks that could impact the ACS application. You can execute the vulnerability scan operation in a preproduction environment.
New and Changed Features
This release of ACS provides improved parity with 4.x. The following sections briefly describe the new and changed features in the 5.3 release:
- Dial-In Attribute Support
- PEAP(EAP-TLS)
- Policy and Identity Enhancements
- New CLI Commands
- View Log Message Recovery
- Programmatic Interface Enhancements
Dial-In Attribute Support
The Dial-In Attribute feature enhancement includes:
- Dial-in permissions
You can allow, deny, and control access of dial-in permissions of a user. The permissions are checked during authentications or queries from Active Directory. It is set on the Active Directory dedicated dictionary.
- Callback
You can set up callback options. The server calls the caller back during the connection process if this option is enabled. The phone number that is used by the server, is set either by a the caller or the network administrator.
PEAP(EAP-TLS)
The Protocol enhancements in ACS 5.3 includes:
- TACACS+ Proxy
You can use the proxy server to relay requests to remote AAA servers and return the responses from them to Network Devices.
- TACACS+ CHAP and MSCHAP authentication types are supported in ACS 5.3
- Attribute Substitution for TACACS+ shell profiles
Allows you to substitute a value of TACACS+ attribute to the value of another attribute from one of the available dynamic dictionaries on the shell profile configuration. For more information related to TACACS + Authentications, see User Guide for Cisco Secure Access Control System 5.3
- EAP Authentication Protocols
Supports EAP-TLS inner method for PEAP, in addition to EAP-MSCHAPv2 and EAP-GTC.
Policy and Identity Enhancements
The Policy and Identity enhancements in ACS 5.3 include:
- Display RSA node secret missing
Reports the status of a RSA Node Secret on the ACS Instance Setting section.
- Maximum user sessions
Allows you to restrict the user from too many concurrent user sessions. The permitted number of concurrent user sessions is between 1 and 65535.
For more information on this see, User Guide for Cisco Secure Access Control System 5.3
- Account Disablement
Allows you to disable the users of Internal Identity Store when the configured date is beyond the permitted date, the configured number of days are beyond the permitted days, or the number of consecutive unsuccessful login attempts, exceeds the threshold.
The default value for date exceeds is 30 days from the current date. The default value for days should not be more than 60 days from the current day. The default value for failed attempts is 5.
For more information on this, see User Guide for Cisco Secure Access Control System 5.3
- User Check Attributes
Allows you to create conditions that compares the values of two different attributes.
- Identity Sequence Advanced Options
ACS 5.3 authenticates the user in a sequence against the Identity Store. Now, it is possible to configure whether to proceed to the next identity source in a sequence when it is not possible to connect to the identity store. ACS goes to the next Identity Store when:
– A user is not found in the first Identity Store.
– An Identity Store is not available in the sequence
- User Password Type
Allows you to set the password type of users in internal identity stores. You can select any one of the external identity store names along with internal users, to indicate against which identity store, this user needs to be authenticated.
For more information on User Password Type, see
User Guide for Cisco Secure Access Control System 5.3.
- Additional Attributes available in the policy condition
Supports two new additional attributes in the policy condition. The administrator should customize the Simple or Compound Condition option in the rule table to use these two attributes.
– Authentication Identity Store
Enables you to configure the policy rule conditions based on the Authentication Identity Store.
For example: IF AuthenticationIdentityStore=LDAP_NY then reject”
This attribute contains the name of the Identity Store used and it is updated with the relevant Identity Store name after successful authentication.
– Number of Hours Since User Creation
Enables you to configure the policy rule conditions, based on the time at which the user was created in ACS Internal Identity Store.
For example: IF group=HelpDesk&NumberofHoursSinceUserCreation>48 then reject”
This attribute contains the number of hours since the user was created in Internal Identity Store to the time of the current authentication request.
- Wildcards for Hosts
Allows you to use wildcards while you add new hosts into the Internal Identity Store. It also allows you to enter wildcards (after you enter the first three octets) to specify all devices from the identified manufacturer. For more information on this, see
User Guide for Cisco Secure Access Control System 5.3.
- Network Device Ranges
Allows you to configure single or multiple ranges of IP address, using wildcards. The Exclude Range option allows you to exclude a set of IP address from the configured range. You can also filter devices, based on IP addresses.
- Look up Network Device by IP address
Allows you to search a network device, using its IP address. You can also use wildcards and the range to search a specific set of network devices.
New CLI Commands
The following are the new CLI commands in ACS 5.3:
- database-compress
database-compress reduces the ACS Database size with an option to delete the ACS Transaction table.
ACS administrators can run this command to reduce the database size. This helps to reduce the database size and the time taken for backups and full synchronization that is needed for maintenance. For more information on this command, see the CLI Reference Guide for Cisco Secure Access Control System 5.3
- acsview-db-compress
acsview-db-compress reduces the Monitoring and Report viewer database size. ACS administrator can run this command to reduce the Monitoring and Report viewer database size.
This command compresses the ACS Monitoring and Report viewer database by rebuilding each table in the database and releases the unused space. This reduces the physical size of the view database. For more information on this command, see CLI Reference Guide for Cisco Secure Access Control System 5.3.
View Log Message Recovery
ACS 5.3 provides a new feature to recover any logs that are missed when the view is down. ACS collects these missed logs and stores them in its database. Using this feature, you can retrieve the missed logs from the ACS database to the view database after the view is up.
To use this feature, you must set the Log Message Recovery Configuration as on. For more details on configuring the View Log Message Recovery, see
User Guide for Cisco Secure Access Control System 5.3.
Programmatic Interface Enhancements
ACS 5.3 provides a new configuration web service. This interface allows you to perform the CRUD (Create, Read, Update, and Delete) methods. The Configuration web services are implemented as REST interfaces over HTTPS. This support is only for the user definitions.
For more information on this, see
Software Developer’s Guide for Cisco Secure Access Control System 5.3.
SFTP Copy
In ACS 5.3, SSH File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) is implemented by Secure Copy Protocol (SCP).
Features Not Supported
The following features are not supported in ACS 5.3:
- The Create, Read, Update, and Delete (CRUD) operations for network device objects in REST PI.
- The Create, Read, Update, and Delete (CRUD) operations for end devices (hosts) in REST PI.

Licensing in ACS 5.3
To operate ACS, you must install a valid license. ACS prompts you to install a valid license when you first access the web interface.
Each ACS instance (primary or secondary) in a distributed deployment requires a unique base license.
This section contains:
- Types of Licenses
- Auto-Installation of Evaluation License
Types of Licenses
Table 2 lists the types of licenses available in ACS 5.3.
Description | |
|---|---|
Base License | The base license is required for all deployed software instances, as well as for all appliances. The base license enables you to use all ACS functions except license controlled features, and it enables standard centralized reporting features. The base license:
The following are the types of base licenses:
The number of devices is determined by the number of unique IP addresses that you configure. This includes the subnet masks that you configure. For example, a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 implies 256 unique IP addresses, and hence the number of devices is 256. |
Add-On Licenses | Add-on licenses can only be installed on an ACS server with a permanent base license. A large deployment requires the installation of a permanent base license. The Security Group Access feature licenses are of three types: Permanent, Eval, and NFR. However, the permanent Security Group Access feature license can be used only with a permanent base license. |
Auto-Installation of Evaluation License
If you are using a virtual machine (VM) for ACS with disk space between 60 GB and 512 GB, ACS automatically installs the evaluation license. However, you can also get the evaluation license and install it manually on the ACS server.
If you use an ACS server with less than 500 GB hard disk space, Cisco does not provide support for scalability, performance, and disk space-related issues.
For more information on installing ACS 5.3 on VMware, see Installing ACS in a VMware Virtual Machine chapter in the Installation and Upgrade Guide for the Cisco Secure Access Control System 5.3.

Known ACS Issues
This section lists the known issues for the ACS 5.3 release.
Table 15 lists the known issues in ACS 5.3. You can also use the Bug Toolkit on Cisco.com to find any open bugs that do not appear here.
Description | |
|---|---|
CSCtl08320 AD is down in Add Attribute list, PEAP/EAP-fast MSCHAP auth marked fail | The PEAP-GTC and EAP-FAST-GTC authentications are marked as Passed (green line in log) when attribute retrieval phase fails, and the FailOpen option is configured as DROP. This problem occurs when Identity Sequence configured in such a way that authentication phase passes but attribute retrieval phase fails. The default FailOpen option for a failed process is DROP' Workaround: None |
CSCtl10839 Break sequence fails for the same User authentication when AD is down (because of cache) | Attribute retrieval tries to retrieve groups from AD which is Down, and then continues to Next ID store in the Additional Attribute retrieval list. This occurs although you have selected the break sequence option. This problem occurs when you: 1. Configure ACS as: – AD with groups, with no attributes. – Identity Sequence: Authentication ID Stores list is Internal – Additional Attribute retrieval list is {AD, Internal, Radius server (or any other)} 2. Select the break sequence option. 3. Authenticate using AD. 4. Shut down AD. 5. Authenticate using Identity Sequence. Workaround: None |
CSCtl93760 Search option does not work for MAC Address | Unable to list out the MAC addresses that are in the database. This problem occurs when you create MAC addresses using wildcards and then try to list a single MAC address while searching. Workaround: Use other options such as starts with. |
CSCtl95969 Sometimes Machine Authentication fails in Odyssey supplicant | Odyssey supplicant sometimes fails in machine authentication. The authentication fails and displays the message Workaround: 1. Select the EAP-TLS authentication as authentication type in Odyssey supplicant. EAP-TLS authentication passes. 2. Change the authentication type to PEAP-TLS. This makes the machine work well with Odyssey supplicant. |
CSCtn19739 TLS Session Resume fails in PEAP-TLS with CSSC/Odyssey supplicant. | TLS Session Resume fails in PEAP-TLS with CSSC/Odyssey supplicant. This problem occurs when you enable the TLS session resume in ACS and perform an authentication with the CSSC/Odyssey client. Workaround: None |
CSCtn49931 Management processes do not come up after the application upgrade | Management processes are not restored when ACS services gets restarted. This issue is not consistent. This problem occurs sometimes when you restart ACS services. For example, after upgrading ACS 5.2 to 5.3. Workaround: Restart the ACS services manually. |
CSCto29474 Bulk edit is not supported for maximum session group value. | There is no option for bulk editing groups. This problem occurs when there are many identity groups. (For example. 50 or more) It is difficult to edit the values for the groups one by one and there is no option to update many groups together. Workaround: Use the Import option to update the maximum session value for many groups at the same time. |
CSCto52767 Centrify: Wrong user is being authenticated. | The wrong AD user is authenticated. This problem occurs when you mix and match UPN and NetBios names for two given user. For example: 1. Enter user 1 as: UPN: a1 NETBIOS:a2 psw : www123!@# user 2: UPN: a2 NETBIOS:a1 psw : ttt123!@# 2. Authenticate the first user as user : a1 psw: www123!@# 3. Authenticate the second user as user : a2 psw: ttt123!@# Any one of the above two authentications fails. Workaround: Make sure AD user names are consistent and avoid naming conventions such that UPN and NetBios of different users are identical. |
CSCto56190 AD interface operations take a long time if LDAP SSL is not enabled in AD. | AD interface operations (test connect, select groups, and select attributes) take a long time if LDAP SSL is not enabled in AD. The delay time in such cases, is the number of domain controllers in the domain in the same site as ACS * 15 seconds This problem occurs if:
Workaround: Configure or enable LDAP SSL on AD domain controllers |
CSCtq12058 Log level set to debug for Monitoring and Collector log but it shows the warning logs. | The Debug logs are not displayed in the Monitoring and Collector log. Default warning logs are displayed even after the log level is set to Debug. This problem also occurs while the system performs Authentication. Workaround: Restart ACS |
CSCtq34427 CARS: Centrify imposed host name limitation of 15 characters | AD account is created only for the latest machine that is joined to the AD, while joining multiple hosts. This problem occurs if hosts have:
Workaround: When working with AD, the hostname length should not be more than 15 characters or the 15 character prefix for each host name should be unique. |
CSCtq45439 Core file of management is generated while running stress in ACS | The management process crashes on a secondary ACS server in a distributed deployment and a core file is generated. This problem occurs when a heavy authentication stress is applied to the primary server for a long time (one or two days). Workaround: None. |
CSCtq52001 It is possible to install non CA certificates under CTL. | ACS allows you to install non CA certificates under Certificate Authorities. This problem occurs because a CA certificate has the keyCertSign bit under Key Usage attribute. It is possible to install a non CA certificate without this bit. Workaround: Make sure the installed certificate is indeed a CA certificate. |
CSCtq52032 No checks for the type of certificate while installing the server certificate | Invalid server certificate (such as, one that can be used for client authentication only) can be installed as a server certificate in ACS This problem occurs when you install a client certificate (such as, extended key usage set to be 'Client Authentication' only) as a server certificate in ACS Workaround: Verify the extended key usage, manually. |
CSCtq61557 Cannot create AAA client after an error message appears in the Network Device Ranges. | Unable to create AAA client, after an error message appears. This problem occurs if you: 1. Create an AAA client with IP Ranges and enter an invalid character in the Exclude option. The interface displays an error. 2. Delete the Exclude value and add the IP and click Submit. The AAA client is not created. Workaround: 1. Edit the IP and enter a proper Exclude value 2. Add the AAA client. 3. Click Cancel and create the AAA client with the proper Exclude value. |
CSCtq67174 The username in the view displays an invalid escape character at line 1 column 2. | If you click on a username that contains the character ! in it, an error appears. This problem occurs if the username contains the ! character in it. Workaround: Remove the character! from the username. |
CSCtq80926 Select option gets disabled while selecting the string enum attribute. | The Select option is disabled and you cannot select the groups configured under Compound Condition and LDAP External Groups. This problem occurs if you select Authorization > Customize selected compound condition, under Compound condition > LDAP > External groups. This applies to LDAP and AD External groups configuration. Workaround1: Select some other attribute with a different dictionary, to enable the Select option for all types of attributes. Workaround 2: Select the external groups under Customize > LDAP: External groups in both Authorization and Group mapping. |
CSCtr56396 Filtering Network Devices according to the new NDG type. | You do not get the correct records that match the filter, if you try to filter Network Devices according to the value of the Network device group that is added after adding the Network Devices. This problem occurs when a new NDG is created after adding the Network Devices. Workaround: Create the NDG before adding the Network Devices |
CSCtr74964 Wrong error message is displayed when you try to change the password of an LDAP user. | An error message This problem occurs if you change the password while performing TACACS+ authentication for a user account located on an LDAP server Workaround: Ignore the incorrect error message. |
CSCtr95923 Log messages are recovered after Restore. | Log recovery feature retrieves the missing logs after Restore. This problem occurs when you take a backup of the view with the Log recovery feature enabled and then restore the backup in same setup. Workaround: Disable the feature for 5 minutes and then enable it. This prevents it from restoring the old logs. |
CSCts07491 NDG: Duplicate option does not work | You cannot create a duplicate for an existing NDG. This problem occurs if you want to create a new NDG by duplicating the existing NDG. In this case, the duplication does not work properly. Workaround: Create a new NDG using the Create option. |
CSCts08356 ACS follows internal identity sequence twice when Fast Reconnect is enabled. | ACS performs the attribute retrieval twice in Internal ID store for a non-existent user. This occurs when authenticating by PEAP with fast reconnect enabled with W7 supplicant. This problem occurs when ACS is configured with the following identity store sequence: AD + Internal and PEAP-MSCHAP with fast reconnect. Here a user is configured in AD but not in the Internal ID store. When you are negotiating PEAP fast reconnect, the supplicant returns the result as TLV failure and then an inner method is invoked. The user is successfully authenticated in AD. The attribute retrieval is performed twice in Internal ID store (both unsuccessful since the user is not found). The following log messages appear in the log: 22023 Proceed to attribute retrieval 22038 Skipping the next IDStore for attribute retrieval because it is the one we authenticated against 24210 Looking up User in Internal Users IDStore - ram 24216 The user is not found in the internal users identity store. 22038 Skipping the next IDStore for attribute retrieval because it is the one we authenticated against 22015 Identity sequence continues to the next IDStore 24210 Looking up User in Internal Users IDStore - ram 24216 The user is not found in the internal users identity store. 22016 Identity sequence completed iterating the IDStores Workaround: Configure the PEAP fast reconnect in the W7 supplicant correctly, so Fast Reconnect is enabled. |
CSCts31991 AD join may fail when there are multiple DNS entries in ACS | ACS fails to join to AD This problem occurs when there are multiple IP name-server entries configured in an ACS configuration CLI, but not all of the IP name-server entries are configured with Active Directory DNS Records. It occurs where the AD DNS responds slower than the corporate DNS or if there is a DNS that does not resolve in AD DC/GC SRVs Workaround1: Ensure that all IP name-server entries have the required configuration for Active Directory. This way, the fastest responding name server will have the required Active Directory configuration. Workaround 2: Configure ACS 5.3 to use only a specific name server that has the required Active Directory configuration. Use the ACS 5.3 CLI to do this. The ACS administrator should: 1. Log into the ACS configuration mode using the command acs-config. 2. Use ad-agent-configuration dns.servers to set the IP of the correct IP name-server to use. For example, if the name of the server to use is 10.56.60.150, then the following commands should be entered, using the ACS 5.3 CLI: cd-acs5-13-50/admin# acs-config Escape character is CNTL/D. Username: acsadmin Password: cd-acs5-13-50/acsadmin(config-acs)# ad-agent-configuration dns.servers 10.56.60.150 Performing AD agent internal setting modification is only allowed with ACS support approval. continue (y/n)? cd-acs5-13-50/acsadmin(config-acs)# show ad-agent-configuration dns-servers dns-servers: 10.56.60.150 cd-acs5-13-50/acsadmin(config-acs)# exit This operation should be performed when the ACS machine is joined to the required domain for each server in the deployment. |
CSCts52687 Centrify service gets frozen while starting and does not move to the next available DC. | AD functionality is down This problem occurs when the joined DC is offline. There are other DCs online but ACS will not join one of them. Workaround: Bring the joined DC online or resubmit the AD configuration For further problem description, see the guidelines discussed in http://nmtg2.cisco.com/wiki/index.php/RNE_Template |
CSCto50246 CentrifyDC mode is displayed as 'connected' when the current DC is shutdown. | ACS takes a long time to update the DC details to which it is currently connected. This problem occurs when ACS is connected to another fastest reachable DC, while the previously connected DC is down. Workaround - None |
CSCts95867 The View database processes freeze when the system gets restarted while upgrading. | ACS view database process gets frozen if you restart the services while upgrading. This problem occurs if you: 1. Configure the data in ACS 5.2 patch 6 when the machine is in a distributed setup where it has a primary server and a secondary server. The secondary server is the log collector. 2. Change the log collector to the primary server. 3. Deregister the secondary server from the primary server. 4. Upgrade the secondary server using the CLI command application upgrade acs.tar.gz repo to ACS 5.3 build #38. The following message is displayed.
5. Check the process status now using the CLI command show app upgrade acs. The View Database process gets frozen for more than six hours while restarting the application 6. Upgrade the primary server using the CLI command application upgrade acs.tar.gz repo to 5.3 build #38. The following message is displayed.
