Hi everybody,   I have an ACS 5.5 view server running 5.5 patch 4. I have quite a large deployment, so the database is purged on a regular basis.   I noticed that when I or other users create favorite reports these reports disappear after the DB purge. I can reproduce it on the view server, when I create a favorite reporte, start purge manually, after the purge is finished there is no entry any longer under favorites.   I can restore any other report, however the  favorite reports that I created never show up again.   I have a test ACS where I cannot reproduce it. The size of the DB on the productive server is around 60 GB.   ANy ideas why this is happening ?   Thanks ... View more

Hi everybody! In ACS v.4, I have a dial in solution, where after the Chap Password and user Caller number is checked for the internal user, an IP address is assigned to the dialed in user. In ACS v.4, the Ip address is configured under Client IP Address Assignment under the user, and that's it. I wanted to migrate this to ACS v.5. I have configured the following: I create an internal user. Using the dictionary user, I add user Information. Here I add the Caller ID, as well as the IP adress which must be assigned when this user dial in. I create a Shell Profile call IPassignment whith the custom attribute: in the authorisation rule, I check if the CallerID of the user  actually  matches the incoming one, and then I want to use the shell profile to assign the IP address. However.. this doesnt  works. PPP gets established,  log entry in ACS is green, since rule matches, ACS sends attribute back, but the router cannot do anything with it., and no IP address is assigned.. does anybody have an idea ? thanks ...

Hello all, I performed the acsview db compress command on  an ACS 5.3. The compression was done in about 20 minutes.. I wonder about the figures however.. when I check the sizes before and aftter, I dont really see  the benefit. The size seems even larger after the compress. Before the compress: acsadmin(config-acs)# acsview show-dbsize      Actual DB Size (bytes) : 3146063872      Actual DB Size (GBs) :2.93      Physical DB Size (bytes):3176448000      Physical DB Size (GBs) :2.96      Physical ACSviewlog file Size (GBs) :1.38 After compressing DB: Actual DB Size (bytes) : 3162824704      Actual DB Size (GBs) :2.95      Physical DB Size (bytes):3196493824      Physical DB Size (GBs) :2.98      Physical ACSviewlog file Size (GBs) can anybody explain the numbers above ? Thankx ... View more

Hi, i have planned a deployment with one acs in Europe working as primary, one acs in europe as secondary and one acs in USA as secondary also. I can add one acs in europe to the deployment as secondary. When I try to add the acs in USA to the deployment - Nothing really works. The status shown in the primary is offline (red) and status pending. It stays like this for hours. When I log in to the gui directly on the acs in USA, it still has status primary. The two acs are transparently connected. There is WAN optimization (cisco waas) in between the two datacentres... any hints  or ideas are aprreciated. thanks ... View more
