Hello Everyone
Our customer has the business needs to authenticate remote users against AD with empty password. I've seen ACS5.1 release note where mentioned about resolved issue:
CSCte72751 | ACS 5.1 drops authentication with empty password. |
I tried to authenticate dial-in users through Tacacs and Radius against AD with empty password but without success. ACS points to wrong AD password.
Does anyone know it is possible to authneticate remote users with empty password?
Regards,

Hi,
The issue has been resolved in patch 3 - http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/cisco_secure_access_control_system/5.1/release/notes/acs_51_rn.html#wp153195 - so upgrade the ACS to patch 3 (or maybe the latest patch). This has the bug fix that you are looking for.
Thanks,
Tarik
