Hi ALL
I have installed the ACS server and configure properly and it works fine.
But whenever i restart the machine, following error message appears on the external database configuration wizard.
External Authentication Configuration Error
ACS has encountered a problem while attempting to process your request. This could be due to one of the following:
An incorrect installation or configuration of the third-party DLLs required to support this External Database
A corrupt ACS configuration
So after i found this error, i just restart all the seven services and every things works fine.
I always encountered the same error message after restarting the machine each time.
Can any body recomend the solution or can help me to resolve the issue.
Thanks

Hi,
Please try the following workaround.
1. Go to Start > Programs > Administrative Tools > Services.
2. Stop the following services in the following order.
CSAuth
CSDbSync
CSLog
CSMon
CSRadius
CSTacacs
CSAdmin
3. After stopping the following services, start them all again in the following order.
CSAdmin
CSAuth
CSDbSync
CSLog
CSMon
CSRadius
CSTacacs
Please let me know if this was able to help.
If the above doesn't help, please reinstall the ACS as the dll files that are being used
by the ACS have been corrupted, before uninstalling and reinstalling, do take a
backup of ACS server database from System Configuration > ACS backup > Backup Now.
Also make sure that the ACS is installed on the default drive.
tnx

Are you running ACS on Windows 2003 or Windows
2000? Are you running Service Pack 1 or
Service Pack 2?
I had the same issue you described about
2 years ago when I was preparing for the IE
Security lab using Cisco ACS 3.2 on windows
2003 Service Pack 1. My situation is worse.
Everytime the system is rebooted, ACS services
refused to start even they were set to
automatic at boot time. Once I
started/restarted ACS service(s), everything
worked after that.
I managed to resolve the issue by upgrading
the windows box to Service Pack 2 with all
the latest updates from Microsoft and the
issue went away.
