A. You receive this error message when you log into a Cisco Secure ACS Server with an account other than the local admin account. This causes the inability of the csutils command to run. Another cause for this error is that the passwords and AAA keys in the ACS database are encrypted with the help of the Microsoft Crypto API. Only local administrators and the actual system are able to access the important information needed in order to decrypt these passwords and keys.
