LMS cannot and will not be able to integrate with ACS 5.x. The reason for this is that ACS 5.x removed the necessary integration hooks. The plan for LMS going forward is to remove ACS integration support, and add support for customizing roles into LMS directly. ACS will still be supported for authentication, though (this includes ACS 5.x). ACS 5.x is supported for integration ONLY today in LMS 3.2.
there is still one think I am curious about... jclarke talked about summer 2010, this is the expeted release date for LMS 4.0 - so I am not sure if was thinking of LMS 3.2 or LMS 4.0 (or both) when he talked abut support for ACS 5.1....
None that I'm aware of. It seems that there is a bug in ACS 5.1 as well. When I configure the LMS server to use TACACS+ the ACS server will give the user level 1 access, even if I have configured the ACS server to grant level 15 access. It could also be that I have configured the ACS server wrong :-)
Thanks Reidar.... hmm very strange. I really wish an expert would respond to this thread as it will help a lot of people who might be planning to deploy these versions and they can help put this matter to rest once and for all. Not sure why LMS 3.2 will not support ACS 5.1 and it might help to know when it will (updates etc). Kindly let me know if you get any further information. My deployment is so large that setting a local username and password on all the devices is not an option unfortunately .......
