Cisco AAA/Identity/Nac :: AAA Authentication With 2960
May 17, 2011
I have configured the cisco 2960 switch with AAA & the radius server is free radius. I am able to login into the switch when radius server is working.But when radius server is not reachable, in that particular condition the switch doesn't move to local authentication configured on the switch.
aaa new-modelaaa group server radius radiuss server 10.1.0.215 auth-port 1812 acct-port 1813!aaa authentication login default group radiuss enableaaa authentication login CONSOLE localaaa authentication enable default group radiusaaa authorization exec default group radius if-authenticated
[Env on my lab investigation] supplicant - W7 with cert authenticator - Catalyst 2960 with IOS 15.0(1)SE2 /newest/ authentication server 2x - W2008/NPS like a RADIUS server
The problem is the end station that are still connected to the supplicant port /use a EAP-TLS/ after the reboot supplicant! All of them will be put into the Guest VLAN instead of static VLAN 34!
[The question] What is wrong and how to configure/tune and what authenticator or authentication server to prevent after the reboot to observe a authentication timeouts? Of course the supplicant after 20 minutes /next EAPOL start farmet put into VLAN 34.
on the followup the document "Configuration example : central web-authentication with a switch and Identity Service Engine" by Nicolas Darchis, since the redirection on the switch is not working.
I'm using ISE Version : 1.0.4.573 and WS-C2960-24PC-L w/software 12.2(55)SE1 and image C2960-LANBASEK9-M for the access.
The interface configuration looks like this: interface FastEthernet0/24 switchport access vlan 6 switchport mode access switchport voice vlan 20 ip access-group webauth in(code)
I want to configure IEEE 802.1x port-based authentication on cisco switches, preferable 2960 series. Which models support this feature?. I have try with some older switches but it doesn't works properly on everyone. I have upgraded them whitout better results, there is namely an issue with TLS handshaking on some switches which produces authentication to fail.
I'm trying to test such 802.1x wired environment:windows xp sp3 as supplicant windows NPS as radius server 2960 as authenticator latest anyconnect (3.1.01065) + nam and standalone profile editor.I have a question: What is the difference between protected identity pattern and unprotected identity pattern (set in nam profile editor)? As I understand documentation PEAP-MSCHAPv2 is a tunneled method and it uses un- protected identity pattern to protect user's identity during phase 0. But if I use any fake identity here (anonymous, anonymous@[domain], etc) access is rejected (Access-Reject in switch debugs). I have to use exacly the same pattern in unprotected identity pattern as in protected identity pattern ([username] or [username]@[domain]) to gain access, regardless of authenticaton mode (same in machine only, user only authentication).
I configured before ACS v4.2 to authenticate network devices using internal users at first, and if the user is not found use AD list users. But with v5.3 I have some problems doing this, on identity policies I use rule based result selection option, I configured 2 polices for Identity source, one for Internal Users and other policy for AD user, but it only works with the first policy, internal users or AD, but works only for the first policy identity. how to do that, if the user is not found on first policy, continue to the next policy.
I need a specify users to allow access to particular devices and give privilege only for show command or show run. Here is how I tried to configured.
1. Configured two seperate Shell Profile and Command set with privilege level 4-5 and allowing only show run command
2. create seperate service selection rule with adding the require NDG and protocol TACACS and maching service "RestrictAccess"
3. In the RestrictAccess Service I have following configured; Identity: internal users, Group Mapping to a particular group where the user exists, authorization: matching the above created identity group, NDG, shell profile, command sets
All the steps are attached in the .doc file. However when I tried with the particular user he is able to access everything and he is not hitting the correct access rule.
I have a problem with radius authentication on catalyst 2960 with freeradius as radius-server. The Catalyst is behind a HP5412zl layer3-switch. The rest of the network are hp-layer2 switches, which do radius authentication to the same radius server. The ios on the catalyst is c2960-lanbasek9-mz.150-1.SE3. Apparently there are no requests made to the radius-server, since I dont see any requests coming in. Port 0/7 is voice port with laptop behind , /port 0/8 access-port with laptop directly connected.
I have a Catalyst 2960 switch (2960-8TC-L) and running Software version 12.2(53)SE1.I mange to configure SSH to the switch and add addition user as well.Now I need to configure this switch password less log in with public key SSH authentication.
I configured several Linux servers and Workstations for the public key SSH authentication.So far I could not figure out how to do this in CISCO switch. Following link {URL} how to do this.But ip ssh pub key- chain command never work showed invalid command.
I have configured ssh on a 2960 to use public key authentication. Now that I can securely log into ssh without a password Is it possible to disable password authentication so that it is impossible to login without the key?
I am seeing the following behavior when computers move from one switch to another with dot1x ONLY when there is a 'stupid' switch in between.
computer -------- 'stupid' switch ------- 2960
dot1x is working fine but when the computer is disconnected, the port still shows the authentication session id so when the computer connects to another port or switch, authentication succeeds but traffic doesn't pass. While I'm almost certain that the culprit is the 'stupid' switch that doesn't clear the session id, I have already tried another one and the problem remains so I'm actually just asking for a confirmation that all these 'stupid' switches present this behavior and if there is a workaround in this case.
I am trying configure tacacs authentication for http in Cisco 2960 with IOS 15.0.1.SE. [code] But the device is not authenticating. It ask the credentials (user and pass) but not authenticates.
I am trying to get to work Web-based authentication on Catalyst 2960 and 3560 for clients that don't support dot1x. I followed this guide. Here's the problem: Client (win7) joins the network, opens the web browser and tries to navigate to any http site. The switch forces him the "login" page in which he has to enter credentials. After the client enters credentials, the switch sends http 500 internal server error page and nothing happens. Doesn't matter if the credentials were correct or not. Also i checked radius logs for requests, the switch doesn't even ask radius.
The configuration:
sh ip admission configuration Authentication Proxy Banner not configured Consent Banner is not configured
In order to restrict access to websites on our internal network, would we be able to put an ASA in front of the web server and force users to authenticate through the ASA and, once authenticated, allow only port 80 or 443 traffic for that use? The ASA would query the ACS 5.1 server for authentication/authorization using AD as the identity store. Is this even possible with TACACS?
My customer has a large installed base of MACs, all connected via controller-based (5508) WLAN. He wants to grant access to the network based on the device's mac addresses and move the WLAN-clients to a specific VLAN.I added all devices with their mac addresses to the ACS internal identity store for hosts.According to the following message the client sends the user-login credentials (chegger) within the RADIUS-request instead of the clients mac address and of course it has to fail. After many configuration changes, I ended up always with the same result.
I have question on EAP-TLS with ACS 5.2. If I would like to implement the EAP-TLS with Microsoft CA, how will the machine and user authentication take place? Understand that the cert are required on both client and server end, but is this certificate ties to the machine or ties to individual user?
If ties to user, and I have a shared PC which login by few users, is that mean every user account will have their own certificates?
And every individual user will have to manually get the cert from CA? is there any other method as my environment has more than 3000 PCs.
And also if it ties to user, all user can get their cert from CA with their AD login name and password, if they bring in their own device and try to get the cert from CA, they will be able to successfully install the cert into their device right?
I have a new ACS 5.3 installation which I have joined to our AD Domain and added the directory groups into. I have also added all our devices into ACS and their groups etc but I am still only able to authenticate on the our switches with an internal ACS account, when I try with an external AD account the log shows the following error "Subject not found in the applicable identity Store (s)"
We got recently a Cisco Secure ACS 1120 and i upgraded the Appliance to 5.1 from 5.0 with all your support
Now I need to integrate Cisco ACS 5.1 with RSA Authentication Manager 6.1 . I Successfully Downloaded config file from RSA ACE Server and exported into ACS 1120.
I also Added ACS as a NetOS Agent in the RSA Server , during the process i found few warnings . The ACE Server is not able to Resolve the IP Address to NAme ( DOes it Necessary ?? ).
I havent created any secret Key file for communication between ACS and RSA and encryption i used is DES.
Now when I log into ACS and search for Devices in the Identity Store Sequences i am not able to Look for RSA Token Sever .
I have been trying to get our IPS (ASA-SSM-10 and 4260) to authenticate with Cisco Radius ACS 5.2 and they are not working. However, I was able to get them working with Microsoft Radius. Below is the logs from the IPS:
If laptop/desktop goes on sleep mode or keep connected with interface configured for 802.1X for more than 12 hours it does not work or not connect to Exchange server, Cisco ISE console, office communicator..for re authentication i need to restart PC/ Laptop or unplug and replug lan cable from it!but before restarting i am able to ping all DNS, DHCP, OCS, everything..[code]
I need to limit to some AD groups, authentication with ACS 5.3.For example, i need that only users os somedomain.com/users/test1 are authenticatet via ACS --> ADS.
I have a Cisco ASA (8.2) setup with remote access for my users using Cisco VPN client. The authentication is passed off to my ACS 5.3 which then checks with AD. What I've done so far is create Access Policy rule where I define specifically the Location and NDG where the ASA is and then a DenyAllCommands command set. This should pass authentications just fine but this also gives those users the ability to remote connect directly into the ASA and login successfully. Even though there is a Deny Commands there I still would prefer they get Access Denied as a message. If I do a Deny Access on the ShellProfile then this stops the login authentication altogether.
We would like to enable ACS authentication to login to different routers (Cisco 881s) we got that are interconnecting with our WAN via VPN tunnels. We would like to avoid using public IP for the router to communicate and relay user/password info with the ACS server and rely on the server's private IP instead. The problem is that all the router's outside interfaces connect to the Internet using public IPs and when the router wants to communicate with the ACS server it will use its public-facing interface IP and that'll fail. We can ping the server obviously when we set the source to the internal LAN IP.
The question is is there a way to have the router communicate with ACS across the VPN tunnel using its private IP?

I have a dot1x client with client certificate working well with my ACS 5.2 and EAP-TLS. Now I would like to configure the Re-Auth periode on the ACS 5.2, I did the following:
1. Configure a Access Profile with Reauthentication Timer = static and 30 seconds (see attachment ACS1.png and ACS2.png)
2. Enabled authentication periodic and authentication timer reauthenticate server on switchport
i am evaluating ACS 5.3 with an ASA5505, by using password management in the IPSec tunnel config i am able to authenticate the VPN clients using mschapv2, however, the SSH sessions are authenticated using PAP
I have looked for days and days for an answer without success, is this by design?
Cisco documents state that SSH can be authenticated via TACACS with PAP,CHAP or MSCHAPv1, however, It seems to be default to PAP
From Cisco Doc: TACACS+ Server Support # The security appliance supports TACACS+ authentication with ASCII, PAP, CHAP, and MS-CHAPv1
I am getting ready to install a new ACS 5.1 server to replace my current 4.1 acs box. I wanted to start off with a fresh install rather than upgrading all of my 4.1 data.
Can I have devices (ASA for VPN authentication, routers & switches for user authentication) use both for authentication while I get all the users configured in the new box?
I have a questión about radius authenticaction with AD, when I log in into the network with user in AD and I make a mistake in password my radius authenticaction event in ACS 5.2 dont show me this logg. only show the authentication succeeded but dont show me the authentication failed. Maybe i must to enable same service to show the authentiaction failed. The Voice authetication works fine..
I configured ACS 5.3 and added AAA clients with TACACS+ server and shared secret key as cisco123. i did the below config on switch also. when i try to authenticate login with ACS it does not respond. Find the configuration and debug output.nd
In debug output it gives ruser and rem_addr is null. i did not understand why .
I am able to ping to ACS server and i used telnet 192.x.x.10 49 and it gives the proper output.
aaa new-model aaa authentication login default group tacacs+ local ! tacacs-server host 192.168.60.10 key cisco123 tacacs-server directed-request ip tacacs source-interface Vlan172
I notice 8.4(4) now has public key authentication (just like IOS - yay!) and found a couple of issues: The CLI config guide [URL] states incorrect syntax for adding the public key to the ASAThere is an undocumented ASA limit on the public key size supported
I have several devices on the same subnet and with similar configuration. All of them were entered manually on the ACS server and are configured to authenticate using TACACS+. Some of the devices can authenticate ok, but other will timeout. I did a tcpdump on the firewall port and can see the device sending the SYN to the ACS server but the server sends no reply to the device.
I am using Cisco ACS 5.1. I would like to authenticate my ip phones with mab (Avaya phones) and the commputers with dot1x.Everything works fine except that the phones which are successfully authenticated with mab tries to authenticate again and again and again ... and this fills up the ACS logs. Every authentication is successfull and the phone does not hang up. But this fills up my logs and makes them unusefull.
