Restricting user sessions in ACS 5.1

[madhankumar.g]

Hi,

We are using ACS 5.1 in our network. We have created users and grouped them as per the requirements.

We want to restrict the user sessions in the network. A user should authenticate and able to access a network resource. But when he is active with that session, we need to block him from another successful authentication.

We want to avoid multiple users using same user credentials for logging into the devices. Please let me know, whether this can be achieved by making configuration changes in ACS. Thank you.

Regards,

Hi Madhan,

Looks like the feature you are looking for is not currently supported

This is the release notes of ACS5.2 :

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/cisco_secure_access_control_system/5.2/release/notes/acs_52_rn.html#wp122068

The following features are not supported in ACS 5.2:

•ACS upgrade through GUI is not available in ACS 5.2. For more information, see the Installation and Upgrade Guide for the Cisco Secure Access Control System 5.2.

•Expiry of any user (admin or internal) after certain number of days is not supported.

•Support for defining the maximum number of simultaneous sessions for a user or user group.

This feature will be  available in ACS5.3

Thanks
