Does MARS support ACS Express 5.0?

Hi guys... Does anyone know whether MARS supports ACS Express 5.0? I tried to add the ACS Express 5.0 device but there was not this version of ACS on Reporting Applications tab of Cisco MARS.

Thanks all.

MARS does not support ACS Express 5.0

Only ACS version 3.x and 4.x are supported as per the following document:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/security_management/cs-mars/6.0/compatibility/local_controller/dtlc60x.html#wp75381

Hope that helps.

Is there going to be support in MARS 6.0 for recent non-express versions of ACS 5.x, http://www.cisco.com/en/US/customer/prod/collateral/netmgtsw/ps5698/ps6767/ps9911/ps9915/product_bulletin_c25-504495.html?

Last I heard, ACS 5.0 is not supported on MARS, and there is no roadmap for it. Best to check with your Account manager.

Its been 1.5 years since ACS 5.0 has been orderable (according to that cisco announcement).  It is a remarkable position for Cisco to have not already supported it in the 6.0 platform by now.
