Cisco ACS and Cisco NGS integration

[davidlow8606]

Hi all,

Anyone have the experience of integrating these two appliances?

Understand there is a guest role features in NGS, whereby you can define your guest to be for example: Guest, Contractor, or Vendor.

But now once you have created the account under different role, can Cisco ACS authenticate with NGS and get the role's attribute then assign them into different authorization profile? For example, guest can only access internet, vendor can access internet + certain servers?

Read through the configuration guide, only stated the NGS integration with NAC appliance, so wondering it works with ACS or not.

Any comment is really appreciated.

You can integrate acs and ngs as external radius server. I think you can send back radius attributes but not certain.

Yes, currently the NGS is the external radius server for ACS. It is running fine, but I am wondering can I have more role for different access right?

Anyway, thanks Tarik Admani.
