two win base ACS4.2 on one AD

[Erland Medrano]

Hi,

Just an iquiry re windows base ACS 4.2. Is it possible to run two(2) windows base ACS 4.2 simultaneously and will integrate to one (1) AD?

Thanks.

I'm assuming this for primary and secondary, yes it's possible and a pretty standard set up.

If it is for primary and secondary you'll want to set up replication in the System Configuration - ACS Internel Database Replication.

Thanks

Thanks for the reply mooncat76. But what if the AD is clustered? will ACS1 and ACS2 still can work simultaneously?

Clustered AD          ACS 1 & 2

AD1 ---------------------- ACS2

AD2

AD3----------------------- ACS1

Our client want to setup ACS as active-active. Is this possible?

Thanks.

The way ACS 4.x generally works is you put the machien on the domain and it authenticates against it, you can add extra External User Databases if needed.

If you set them up with replication they will be Active-Active in so far as both will be able to process AAA requests, general set up of RADIUS on Network Devices is to set a primary and secondary.

Cheers
