Cisco :: 5508 - NPS Radius
Apr 10, 2013
Cisco WLC 5508
Software Version: 7.4.100.0
Windows Server 2008R2
I've got everything setup on the Windows Server 2008 side of things (certificates, radius clients, etc). I added the radius server on the WLC, and configured a new W LAN to use it. Both are on the same sub net. When trying to connect to the W LAN it kept failing. I installed wire shark on the server to monitor the radius traffic, and to my surprise there was no radius traffic showing up on the server. The radius statistics on the WLC are at 0 as well, so it's like the WLC isn't even attempting Radius.
I re verified that the server was enabled on both the security tab and the W LAN itself on the WLC. Rebooted the controller and the server, all to no avail. I used a radius test client, and can successfully send radius commands to the server using that utility. Frustrated, I just kept trying to reconnect on my wireless device, and after about the 15th try, finally I saw radius activity on wire shark. It rejected my access, but at least I saw activity. It also registered radius statistics on the WLC as well.
So now if I keep trying to connect repeatedly, about every dozen or so times the WLC actually will send a radius request to the server.

We are trying to integrate Cisco WLC 5508 and Microsoft NPS 2008 to allow users to use their AD username and password to authenticate to the wireless network.I basically followed the following document but with no luck (Appendix B): URL I'v went through some threads in this forum but also with no luck,Basically, we are recieving the follwoing error in NPS event viewer:A RADIUS message was received from RADIUS client a.a.a.a with an invalid authenticator. This is typically caused by mismatched shared secrets. Verify the configuration of the shared secret for the RADIUS client in the Network Policy Server snap-in and the configuration of the network access server.

I am transitioning from RADIUS auth to local auth and i don't want to hassle everyone to change in one hit.If i can get auth requests to look in the WLC local net db first and if not found try RADIUS then this is what i am after! You can easily do it with web auth but doesnt seem so easy via WPA2 method.

I have a 5508 controller running 7.4.100 and have a WLAN where I have radius configured. On my controller the client machine I'm using appears but the radius authentication doesn't appear to be working. Is there anything on the controller I can do to verify that the request is even being sent to my Microsoft IAS server? The log on the server doesn't show any requests from the controller so my early days guess is the controller isn't actually sending it.

getting a Cisco WLC to work with MS NPS server? We've done it before albeit with differnt code versions.
I have a Cisco 5508 WLC running 7.0.116.0 code hosting a WLAN configured for WPA2 with 802.1x for authentication. I have two Windows NPS servers configured as the RADIUS servers for EAP-TLS authentication. Via debug info on the WLC I can see the 802.1x handshake take place with the wireless client and the WLC as well as a successful transmission of an Authentication Packet from the WLC to one of the RADIUS servers. However on the WLC I see repeated RADIUS server x.x.x.x:1812 deactivated in global list and on the NPS server I'm seeing event log errors indicating "The Network Policy Server discarded the request for a user" along with the pertinent auth request info that I would expect the NPS server to receive from the WLC. Based on the WLC debug info I'm never actually getting to the EAP-TLS certificate authentication part. It seems the NPS servers don't like the format of the initial RADIUS authentication request coming from the WLC and so don't respond whcih in turn casues to WLC to switch to the other NPS server which produces the same issue.

I'm a trainee in Network and Telecommunication, and I have to do a "model" with a controller, an AP, and a RADIUS server. Communication and configuration of the lightweight AP has been done.
I use an autonomous access point 1220 as the RADIUS server (no considering it as an AP), and I'm a beginner in RADIUS configuration. I get a "Processing AAA Error 'No Server' (-7) for mobile 00:24:d6:8f:2c:7e" when I launch a debug targetting my PC, connecting to the LAP.
Precursory : 10.137.125.71 is the IP address of the ap1220, working as the RADIUS server 10.137.125.15 is the IP address of the controller. 00:24:d6:8f:2c:7e is the MAC address of my PC, connecting to the Wi-Fi. ping works to the RADIUS, to the controller. Each devices are connected by a layer 3 Switch, and ping each others. The Wi-Fi works when I don't use 802.1X (or when I don't use RADIUS authentication at all)
What I did on the RADIUS server (ap1220 autonomous) :
aaa new-model
radius-server local
nas 10.137.125.15 key password
[Code]......

I have a WLAN configured with 802.1x PEAP pointing to an external RADIUS server. It works fine for the most part, but I'm having problem closing accounting sessions in RADIUS. I've found this is related to the client table in the WLC. The user session does not end in RADIUS unless the WLC officially removes the client from the db, which takes 5-6 minutes from what I can see (probably due to the default idle timeout of 300 seconds).
For example:
1. I connect my tablet to the test WLAN. It associates and authenticates successfully and the WLC sends the accounting info to my RADIUS server, opening up a user session. If I turn off the wifi in the tablet, the client entry stays in the WLC client table until it times out. The WLC removes my tablet from the client table after 5-6 minutes, and then the session closes in the accounting table. I can force the session to close much earlier by manually removing the client from the WLC.
2. Same as #1, but this time instead of turning of the wifi in the tablet, I choose to connect to a different WLAN in the WLC. The user session in the accounting DB never closes. If I reconnect back to the original test WLAN with 802.1x, it opens up yet another user session in RADIUS accounting. Now I have a "dead" user session in accounting that is going to be open forever unless I delete it from SQL.
Is this an issue with the end user client not sending the disassociation frame properly, or a config problem with the WLC? How can I make it so that every time a client drops from an AP or moves to a different WLAN, the WLC would immediately send accounting updates to my RADIUS server and close the user session properly?

I am biulding a wireless network with 5508 WLC and trying to use ISE as radius server and also to redirect the web-login to it.I was trying to understand that to achieve the external web-login, do i need to use the raduius-nac option under advanced on the guest wireless where i am trying this out. and if not, where do i actually use it?So far what i have understood that i do need to have preauth ACL on the Layer 3 security, but the issue is there is no hit reaching the ISE.

I'm working on a project where a wi-fi client is tracked and located using RADIUS authentication requests. The problem I'm running into is that the WLC (5508) sends an RADIUS authentication request to my freeradiusd, which is ok so far, but if the client roams to another accesspoint (3602AG, 1131AG, 1252AG), the WLC does not send a further RADIUS auth. request - and the client is allowed to connect to the next ap.Is there an option like RADIUS-cache which I can disable, so that the WLC sends everytime an authentication request when a client tries to connect to an ap or roams from one ap to another one?

I am setting up a WIFI network with a Cisco 5508 controller. I want to configure a first WIFI network (WIFI1) that will authenticate my business laptop based on the AD computer accounts and will access my corporate network.I want to setup a second WIFI network (WIFI2) that will authenticate my phones and tablets devices with AD user accounts and will be on a separate vlan with only access to the Internet.I created 2 policies on the Radius server : one that authenticate computers coming from wireless and a second one authenticating users coming from wireless.
if a user manually creates the WIFI1 network on his phone and enter his AD username, he is going to have access to the corporate network. I would like to be able to say that when a request is coming from WIFI1, only the policy for authenticating wireless devices with computer accounts will apply and the second policy authenticating user wouldn't apply.

I'm running version 7.2.111.3 on my WLC 5508 and I try to figure out how I can set PEAP towards my configurerd Radius servers. On my Local EAP profile I can specify PEAP, but how is it default configurerd when you just specify the radius servers on the "WLANs > Edit Test > security > AAA servers tab ?
The MS radius logs tell me that it is EAP and not PEAP, so the questions is does the WLC support Microsoft: Protected EAP ???

We are experiencing a lot of these RADIUS failed to respond messages on our WLC's leading to a lot of RADIUS server hopping within the WLC.We are using Cisco 5508's, 1142 AP's and a Microsoft NPS RADIUS backend. SSID is WPA2+802.1xThe first workaround to this problem was to disable aggressive failover on the WLC. But this is only a temporary fix, because in the end, there will be more than 3 consequetive clients, failing to authenticate to the WLAN network. As a result, the WLC will swap to the 2nd RADIUS server configured.When we dived into this a little bit more we saw the following messages being logged on the RADIUS backend at the time we saw the RADIUS messages on the WL:Event ID: 6274: Network Policy Server discarded the request for a user.

I have a customer that wants to restrict SSIDs that groups get based on their AD credentials. Currently, he is using Windows 2008 Radius Server and AD with Cisco 5508 WLCs. I found examples that shows this is possible but my question is if I have 2 user groups (teachers and students) in AD and apply a policy for the Radius to send SSID x to teachers and SSID y to students. Upon successfully authentication, would this deny teachers access to SSID y and students access to SSID x?

I am trying to follow the Fips guide for the WLC5508 and it wants to encrypt the connection to the Radius, either with PSK key wrap or IPsec. I have the options for Ipsec only as the Windoes NPS does not support Key wrap from what a previous user confirmed for me here on the board.. But then found another post that states that the 5508 does not support IPsec?

Since I moved our WLC Controller ( 5508 ) from Version 7.0 to Version 7.2.111.3 I got above failure messages. Until now I changed the radius timeout from 2 to 10 seconds and also I disabled the aggressive failover without success. What else it could be ?

I am currently useing ACS 5.2 and have no problem using Tacacs+ with AD access.
But with Radius it seems I can only get the Local identity store to work, need to do something special to get Radius to work with active directory with Cisco ACS?

I am running ASA version 8.4(1), and anyconnect version 3.0.1047. My SSL VPN works fine, but i run into an issue with one user . his account did not work , and everytime users logged in it got this message "VPN Server could not parse request".
I found the problem after getting a user information meaning his username and password. His password had "&" as one of the special characters. when we change it to something that does not have that , it works just fine.
We are using microsoft NPS server as radius. but when i run a test within CLI it works just fine, only when anyconnect asks to authenticate it fails.

Does anyone have or know of a tried and true method of configuring a Windows Server 2008 box to provide authentication/accounting services for Cisco devices. I've read a few websites already and a lot of them seem to be geared toward VPN and some of the settings each site goes through are different.I've got NPS installed and a RADIUS client configured with the shared key. Right now I'm in the process of creating the Network Policy which only allows a Windows "admin" group to log in. Curious about the "Constraints" section where the NAS Port Type is selected and the "Settings" section where the service-type and vendor specific options are configured.

I'm having some weird issues where I cannot ping from the WLC to the IAS RADIUS server. All of my clients cannot connect, but from the switch, router, RADIUS server, and hard wired clients, I can ping to the WLC and RADIUS server. The only thing that cannot ping the RADIUS server is the WLC itself. Nothing in the FW is blocking connectivity. [code]

I need to configure RADIUS VSA configuration for a my alvarion device. Following are the attributes that need to be configured.
- Packet Data Flow ID (ID 1, integer16)
- Direction (ID 4, integer8)
- Transport Type (ID 6, integer8)
- UplinkQoSID (ID 7, integer8)
- DownlinkQoSID (ID 8, integer8)
[code]....
I was able to configure the first 6 attributes, how can I add the Sub - TLV's ClassifiedID, Priority, VLAN-ID and Classifier Direction which come under Classifier. Don't see any option for that in ACS 5.x

We have 2 ACS 4.2.1 servers in Windows 2003 with SP2 installed. We have updated the first ACS to the latest patches for Windows. After that we started having problems. CSRadius either stops by itself or when some time passes we get the following error in Failed attempts "Unknown error". When we restart the ACS services by the GUI, it resumes until the next time it stops.Do you happen to know if we have any bugs related to Windows patches?

I am trying to configure AAA authentication and authorization with Cisco 3725 (IOS 12.4(17)) for 802.1x and ACS 4.2 with VLAN assignment to my Windows XP client. (trying to assign VLAN 100 in my scenario).When user connects to the Router, it passes the authentication process (EAP-MD5). In my debug i see that Router recieves the Radius Attributes BUT does not apply anything!My running config:
Building configuration...
Current configuration : 1736 bytes
!
version 12.4
service timestamps debug datetime msec
service timestamps log datetime msec

As a result the vlan-switch data based does not change.

I'm running WCS 7.0.220.0.I would like to authenticate users that are able to logon the WCS, through MS Network Policy Service (RADIUS).I would like all my domain users to be member of the local group on the WCS "Lobby Ambassador", so all domain users has access to generate guest access accounts, for the web auth... I can see under the WCS Administration under AAA that it should be able to use RADIUS - but i'm not sure how to setup the NPS policy?
