These release notes describe important corrections and additions to the online documentation, additions and enhancements to the CiscoSecure ACS 2.1(4) for Windows NT software, issues closed with this release, and open issues and workarounds. Please review this information before proceeding with your installation or upgrade. This document should be used in conjunction with the CiscoSecure ACS 2.1 for Windows NT Server User Guide.
Cisco documentation and additional literature are available in a CD-ROM package, which ships with your product. The Documentation CD-ROM, a member of the Cisco Connection Family, is updated monthly. Therefore, it might be more current than printed documentation. To order additional copies of the Documentation CD-ROM, contact your local sales representative or call customer service. The CD-ROM package is available as a single package or as an annual subscription. You can also access Cisco documentation on the World Wide Web at http://www.cisco.com, http://www-china.cisco.com, or http://www-europe.cisco.com.
If you are reading Cisco product documentation on the World Wide Web, you can submit comments electronically. Click Feedback in the toolbar and select Documentation. After you complete the form, click Submit to send it to Cisco. We appreciate your comments.
The following topics are discussed:
In the CiscoSecure ACS 2.1 for Windows NT Server User Guide, in the chapter "CiscoSecure ACS Database Utilities" in the section "Database Import Utility: Creating the Text File," the example for Windows NT Database authentication should read:
ADD:user02:EXT_NT::PROFILE:2
The third line in the example import text file should also read:
ADD:user02:EXT_NT::PROFILE:2
Before you install CiscoSecure ACS 2.1(4) for Windows NT, make sure all other applications and windows are closed.
If you are using Security Dynamics' SDI for token authentication, we recommend that you upgrade to version 4.1 of the SDI ACE Client software. Earlier versions of the SDI utility that tests client-server connectivity will not operate with CiscoSecure ACS 2.1(4) for Windows NT.
If a message displays during installation stating that "The ODBC resource DLL (filename) is a different version than the ODBC (file type and name)," follow these steps:
Step 1 Exit the installation program.
Step 2 Run the odbcdmin.exe file that is located in the SUPPORT\ODBC directory on the CiscoSecure ACS CD-ROM. Installing the odbcdmin.exe file will install the ODBC 3.0 components.
Step 3 When you have finished installing these ODBC components, click SETUP.EXE in the root directory of the CD-ROM to restart installation of CiscoSecure ACS.
If you get an error message during installation indicating that installation has failed, follow these steps:
Step 1 Go to the Windows Control Panel Add/Remove Programs window and select CiscoSecure ACS 2.1 for Windows NT.
Step 2 Click Uninstall.
Step 3 When you have finished uninstalling, click SETUP.EXE in the root directory of the CD-ROM to restart installation of CiscoSecure ACS.
If Uninstall terminated abnormally or if installation still fails, follow these steps:
Step 1 Go to the SUPPORT\CLEAN directory and run CLEAN.EXE. This will uninstall CiscoSecure ACS 2.1 completely and clean up certain statements from the Windows NT Registry that prevent installation of CiscoSecure ACS 2.1.
Step 2 When you have finished running CLEAN.EXE, click SETUP.EXE in the root directory of the CD-ROM to restart installation of CiscoSecure ACS.
The following DDTS cases were closed with this release:
The following enhancements were made with this release:
When performing Authentication Forwarding and Windows NT authentication with Windows dial-up networking, CiscoSecure ACS 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 does not strip "corporation." The workaround is to place the character string to be stripped at the end of the user ID. [CSCdj67375]
With Netscape Communicator 4.01, when the HTML interface times out, a Java reconnect dialog box opens. Clicking OK does not re-establish the session. The workaround is either to log in again or to use a different version of the browser. [CSCdj62066]
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. [CSCdj63814]
If CiscoSecure ACS 2.1(4) for Windows NT is installed and you then install Internet Explorer 4.01, you must restart the system before CiscoSecure ACS services will start. [CSCdk12995]
