Context Directory Agent server 2012R2

[Daniel Sandstrom]

Hi,

Win server 2012R2 is not offically on the supported list for Contex Directory Agent ( CDA  ) , anyone tested this setup ?

I have been following the Installation guide for 2012 : http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/ibf/cda_10/Install_Config_guide/cda_install.html but I the server stays red in the CDA gui. No error messages in the log though. 

CDA is patch1 and CDA user is within the Domain Admin group and necessary priv changes according to the installation document is in place ( registry key ownership etc,) , firewall on the server has been temporarily disabled.

Just wanted to see if there is anyone who got the combination CDA/2012R2 running and/or when there will be an official patch to CDA to add 2012R2 support.

Yes, I tried it and it works.

We've been running with it since it was released, so far no problems, working good.

Hi

Did someone checked the access also from the ASA to the 2012R2 server?

This doesn't work as well.

[aharon-n]

I opened a case and they refer me to bug CSCun10631.

(CDA doesn't support 2012R2).

the good news is that a new patch (3) should be release this month (July) and will include support.

The bug search states fixed as of yesterday. I do not see the download avaiable yet though.

Enhancement CSCun10631 is now verified. We will have support for Windows 2012 R2 with release of CDA v1 patch 3.

That's great, any idea when will it be released?

Kept getting the following error even after Patch 3.

The RPC server is unavailable. Please check if the COM server is up and running and that route to the COM Server is accessible (A simple "Ping" to the Server machine would do). Also please confirm if the Windows Firewall is not blocking DCOM access. [0x800706BA]

Turns out it was the Windows Firewall blocking TCP port 50228. Created an ACL for it and now everything is ok.

The following site helped in narrowing down what port to open.
