Dial-in Connection Issues
Condition
Recovery Action
A dial-in user cannot
connect to the AAA
client.
No record of the
attempt appears in
either the
or RADIUS
Accounting Report
(in the Reports &
Activity section,
click
Accounting or
RADIUS
Accounting or
Failed Attempts).
Examine the Cisco Secure ACS Reports or AAA client Debug output to narrow
the problem to a system error or a user error. Confirm the following:
•
The dial-in user was able to establish a connection and ping the
Windows 2000 server before Cisco Secure ACS was installed. If the dial-in
user could not, the problem is related to a AAA client/modem
configuration, not Cisco Secure ACS.
•
LAN connections for both the AAA client and the Windows 2000 server
supporting Cisco Secure ACS are physically connected.
•
IP address of the AAA client in the Cisco Secure ACS configuration is
correct.
•
IP address of Cisco Secure ACS in AAA client configuration is correct.
•
or RADIUS key in both AAA client and Cisco Secure ACS are
identical (case sensitive).
•
The command ppp authentication pap is entered for each interface, if the
Windows NT/2000 user database is being used.
•
The command ppp authentication chap pap is entered for each interface,
if the Cisco Secure ACS database is being used.
•
The AAA and or RADIUS commands are correct in the AAA
client. The necessary commands are listed in the following:
Program Files\CiscoSecure ACS vx.x\TacConfig.txt
Program Files\CiscoSecure ACS vx.x\RadConfig.txt
.
•
The Cisco Secure ACS Services are running (CSAdmin, CSAuth,
CSDBSync CSLog, CSRadius, CSTacacs) on the Windows 2000 server.
