ERROR: Authentication Server not responding: AAA Server has been removed

[rimifrank]

Hi,

I wish to integrate to Microsoft Windows 2008 AD. Apparently i am having trouble achieving this due to the error below;

ECSIntFw01# test aaa-server authentication AD1 username fraxxx password$ xxxx

Server IP Address or name: 10.3.x.x

INFO: Attempting Authentication test to IP address <10.3.x.x> (timeout: 12 seconds)

ERROR: Authentication Server not responding: AAA Server has been removed

My  aim is in setting up Identity Options that would either help to  allow/restrict permission based on users and/or groups that exist in the  Active Directory Domain.

Kindly assist.

Hi Frank,

Please let us know what is the protocol that is being used.

Is it the LDAP authentication or the Radius authentication  used?

Please check if you have the reachability to the AAA server from the firewall.

If not then try to add the route for the AAA serevr.

If  the AAA server is reachable from the ASA then try to take the capture from the ASA and simultaneous wiresahrk capture on the AD as well when trying to authenticate.

Hope this helps you.

Thanks

Seems like you're using protocol as LDAP.

Would you please provide the output of following:

show run aaa-server

show ip

Would you need to setup this restriction for CLI or GUI users.

Regards,

Jatin
