Decoding Error Numbers

CSUtil.exe exports Windows Registry information for Cisco Secure ACS to a file
named

setup.txt

.

Decoding Error Numbers

You can use the -e option to decode error numbers found in Cisco Secure ACS
service logs. These are error codes internal to Cisco Secure ACS. For example,
the CSRadius log could contain a message similar to the following:

CSRadius/Logs/RDS.log:RDS 05/22/2001 10:09:02 E 2152 4756 Error -1087 authenticating geddy

- no NAS response sent

In this example, the error code number that you could use CSUtil.exe to decode
is “-1087”:

C:\Program Files\CiscoSecure ACS v

x

.

x

\Utils: CSUtil.exe -e -1087

CSUtil v3.0(1.14), Copyright 1997-2001, Cisco Systems Inc

Code -1087 : External database reported error during authentication

Note

The -e option applies to Cisco Secure ACS internal error codes only, not to
Windows error codes sometimes captured in Cisco Secure ACS logs, such as
when Windows authentication fails.
