Cisco Secure ACS 5.1 and ACS Administrators strong authentication ?

[ChristopheBerger]

Hi,

Is it possible to authenticate administrators using an RSA SecurID token ?

There is no indication about that in the panel "System Administration > Administrators > Settings > Authentication".

(I'm running Secure ACS server 5.1.0.44)

Thanks,

Christophe

Hi Christophe,

Unfortunately no.

The only supported DB for the Administractors accounts is the ACS internal DB.

Hope this helps.

Thanks, so no solution, I'll "secure" the access with complex passwords and dedicated administration networks.

Hi,

In this case, are there some best practices to ensure this sensitive authentication component stays secure ?

Thanks,

Yes, you can enforce password setting, and assign different admi privileges to each administrator.

Please find detailed info here: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/cisco_secure_access_control_system/5.2/user/guide/admin_admin.html#wp1069006.

Hope this helps,

Tiago
