Release Notes for CiscoSecure ACS 2.3(1) for Windows NT Server
When accessing the External User Databases: Database Group Mapping: MCIS Configuration page, a new message displays when the Active Directory Client software is not installed on the CiscoSecure ACS for Windows NT machine.
With Netscape Communicator 4.01, when the Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) interface times out, a Java reconnect dialog box opens. However, clicking OK does not reestablish the session. The workaround is either to log in again or to use a different version of the browser.
With Internet Explorer 3.02, when you drag any of the hyperlinks, the navigation bar is hidden, and an Internet Explorer message window opens. The workaround is either to use the browser's Back button or to use a different version of the browser.
When performing Proxy and Windows NT authentication with Windows Dial-Up Networking, CiscoSecure ACS for Windows NT does not strip character strings located in the middle of usernames. For example, if the user ID is corporation@user1 and the domain is DOMAIN01, the authentication package is read as DOMAIN01\corporation@user1. CiscoSecure ACS for Windows NT does not strip "corporation." The workaround is to place the character string to be stripped at the end of the user ID.
If CiscoSecure ACS 2.3(2) for Windows NT is installed and you then install Internet Explorer, you must restart the system before CiscoSecure ACS 2.3(2) for Windows NT services will start. The workaround is to install Internet Explorer before you install CiscoSecure ACS 2.3(2) for Windows NT.
Releases of Cisco IOS software prior to Release 12.02 do not support the IP pooling feature of CiscoSecure ACS 2.3(2) for Windows NT with VPDN tunnels. As a result, duplicate IP addresses might be allocated. The workaround is to use Cisco IOS Release 12.02 or later or to use the IP pooling feature of the NAS if you are using VPDN.
There is an incompatibility issue with the ODBC SQL version 6.5 drivers and CiscoSecure ACS 2.3(2) for Windows NT. The workaround is to follow these steps:
Step 1 Stop all ODBC applications and services.
Step 2 Install the latest ODBC drivers.
Step 3 Install CiscoSecure ACS 2.3(2) for Windows NT.
Note If you do not follow these steps in order, there will be issues with partial ODBC installations and you will have to manually recover by deleting various ODBC dynamic link libraries (DLLs).
Changes to passwords made on the SQL server do not take effect immediately. This is an SQL issue that might cause security problems, because users can continue to log in using their old passwords until CSAuth is restarted. The workaround is to restart CSAuth after changing passwords on the SQL server.
If you are using the Microsoft Access ODBC drivers, the ODBC System Data Source Name (DSN) is not retained after reinstalling CiscoSecure ACS 2.3(2) for Windows NT Server. This issue does not arise if you are using SQL ODBC drivers. The workaround is to reinstall ODBC after you have installed CiscoSecure ACS 2.3(2) for Windows NT.
After a user account is disabled, Internet Explorer displays the user account status as disabled in the User Setup window but still shows it as enabled in the Group Setup window. The workaround is to restart Internet Explorer.
CiscoSecure ACS 2.3(2) for Windows NT supports only a single connection per user when authenticating on a PIX firewall. This is an issue only for MaxSessions and the Reports and Activity: Logged-In Users window. The accounting logs correctly record the PIX accounting packets; the workaround is to use the accounting logs to track concurrent logins.
User-defined field names do not appear in the Interface Configuration window of the replicated CiscoSecure ACS 2.3(2) for Windows NT immediately. The workaround is to restart CSAdmin after replication.
If a user authenticates successfully but fails authorization, the NAS port name is blank in the Failed Attempts Log. There is no workaround at this time.
The NAS Port filter does not work if the Port Name contains a forward slash (/) character. The workaround is to use port names that do not contain the / character.
