Configuring for Member Server Authentication


After you install Cisco ACS remote agent on a Windows member server, you must authenticate users with a Windows user database. To do that, you need to configure the server for the authentication following these steps:

.
1. Verify domain membership.

Open The properties of My Computer. Make sure teh computer has been joining the domain.

2. Add the CISCO workstation.
To satisfy Windows requirements for authentication requests, ACS must specify the Windows
workstation in to which the user is attempting to log. Because ACS cannot determine this information
from authentication requests that AAA clients send, it uses a generic workstation name for all requests.
Use CISCO as the name of the workstation.
To do that, open ADUC from Administrative Tools. Add a computer account named called CISCO.

 

3. Verify the server service status.
On the computer that is running the remote agent, make sure that the Server service is running and that its Startup Type is set to Automatic.

4. Verify the NTLM version.
This step is required only if ACS authenticates users who belong to trusted domains or child domains. ACS supports authentication of Windows credentials by using LAN Manager (LM), NTLM version 1, or NTLM version 2 protocols.
