ACS 5.3 compatibility with functional level

[laloutre27]

Hello everyone, I have a question about ACS compatibility.

I saw that ACS 5.3 is not compatible with AD 2012, but is it compatible with AD 2012 directory configured in functional level 2008?

Has anyone tried ? Authentication is ok ?

Thanks for your help

Hi,

I would like to inform that ACS 5.3 supports till 2008 R2.

If you have a forest functional level set to 2008 and domain functional level set to 2012. 

I have seen ACS 5.3 does not operate correctly when attempting to attach to and authenticate users in an AD 2012 functional domain/forest.

I would recommend to upgrade ACS at least to 5.5.

Let me know if you have any further queries.
