Also shaila you can do one testing....

Connect ACS server on one switch... On same switch connect one client machine and test for authentication.

If it will still asking DOMAIN name or something mean you ACS server configuration Mistake.

If Server is in Production.... Please install ACS server on another machine... do above setup. configure same. and test it.

Hi, i took a doc from cisco using cat 6500 in place of 2950, in that document i followed all the the steps ( they also left domain blank !! ) but again no success, the pc was not authenticated, rather the debug was also not showing anything then 1 or 2 lines on each authentication and it was weird, yesterday i saw so many debug lines coming but today just a few ! one thing is for sure that the pc was not authenticated, like u said i did, on the same switch i connected the ACs server and the client, and followed all the configuration but still no success, now wat shall i do,

i know u guys r doing a lot for me , i m sorry but i m not an expert and not able to do it but still thanks for ur support, i will let u guys know if my problem is solved or not

thanks alot to u guys may GOD bless u

Hey,

It is ok... Nobody expert yaar. Everybody doing help each other.

It is ok. What i am asking.

Forget abot PC.

IN ACS SERVER APPLICATON (SOFTWARE)... YOU HAVE TO SELECT CISCO SECURE DATABASE INSTEAD OF " windows nt " in AUTHENTICATION USING BOX.

Have checked that... that tell me.

I can go further from there.

You not answering me what i am asking. You are everytime telling about PC WORKGROUP AND DOMAIN.

LEAVE DOMAIN.

What i am asking understand and reply me.

GO in ACS SERVER --- > CLICK ON USER or GROUP BUTTON --- > LOOK into Authentication Using BOX -- {What is there tell me..... You have to select there CISCO SECURE DATABASE}

sorry pruhot, yes i have checked and its cisco secure database selected,, i never selected windows nt, it was cisco secure all of the time, sorry i couldnt reply before, now wat u think is the problem behind the domain ??

[purohit_810]

I don't think now.... generally that is the only option we can check out.

Because you know... when i asked you " Have you chacked on single switch " you said me YES .... and still it showing same thing.

Mean in that scenario we had nowere Live setup Domain. Ok.

Something.... i don't know.

In RADIUS server configuration we have nothing yaar. It is only one application. It is working normally.

Ok... shaila Bye... good chat with you.

Good cooperation from you we had during the support face.

keep it up with technology... mind.......... WE MAKES TECHNOLOGY

Bye
