Solved: Authenticate ACS 5.2 Administrators to Active Directory?

Christopher Bell · ‎03-22-2011

Is this possible? Rather than maintainng local accounts is it possible to authenticate admins against AD? I'm talking about administrators of the ACS server itself to be clear.

Not that I am aware of, pretty sure it's local only.

The irony of this just kills me, after you roll out centralised authentication and AAA, you have to keep a local db of admins for the box itself!

Painful!

Hi,

ACS administrators have to local to the ACS as far as i know because the account is used for controlling the box.

Hope this helps.
