Dial-in Connection Issues

Condition

Recovery Action

A dial-in user cannot
connect to the AAA
client.

No record of the
attempt appears in
either the TACACS+
or RADIUS
Accounting Report (in
the Reports & Activity
section, click
TACACS+
Accounting
or
RADIUS Accounting
or Failed Attempts).

Examine the Cisco Secure ACS Reports or AAA client Debug output to
narrow the problem to a system error or a user error. Confirm the following:

The dial-in user was able to establish a connection and ping the computer
before Cisco Secure ACS was installed. If the dial-in user could not, the
problem is related to a AAA client/modem configuration, not
Cisco Secure ACS.

LAN connections for both the AAA client and the computer running
Cisco Secure ACS are physically connected.

IP address of the AAA client in the Cisco Secure ACS configuration is
correct.

IP address of Cisco Secure ACS in AAA client configuration is correct.

TACACS+ or RADIUS key in both AAA client and Cisco Secure ACS are
identical (case sensitive).

The command ppp authentication pap is entered for each interface, if
you are using a Windows user database.

The command ppp authentication chap pap is entered for each interface,
if you are using the Cisco Secure ACS database.

The AAA and TACACS+ or RADIUS commands are correct in the AAA
client. The necessary commands are listed in the following:

Program Files\CiscoSecure ACS vx.x\TacConfig.txt

Program Files\CiscoSecure ACS vx.x\RadConfig.txt

The Cisco Secure ACS Services are running (CSAdmin, CSAuth,
CSDBSync CSLog, CSRadius, CSTacacs) on the computer running
Cisco Secure ACS.
