Cisco AAA/Identity/Nac :: ISE 1.1.3 Authenticate Wireless Users / Admin Access To WLC / Switches
Mar 13, 2013
Deployed two Cisco ISE 1.1.3. ISE will be used to authenticate wireless users, admin access to WLC and switches. Backend database is Microsoft AD running on Windows Server 2012. Existing Cisco ACS 4.2 still running and authenticating users. There are two Cisco WLCs version 7.2.111.3.Wireless users authenticates to AD through ACS 4.2 works. Admin access to WLC and switches to AD through ISE works. Wireless authentication using PEAP-MSCHAPv2 and admin access wtih PAP/ASCII.
Wireless users cannot authenticate to AD through ISE. The below is the error message "11051 RADIUS packet contains invalid state attribute" & "24444 Active Directory operation has failed because of an unspecified error in the ISE".Conducted a detailed test of AD from ISE. The test was successful and the output seems all right except for the below: [code]
Update:
1) Built another Cisco ISE 1.1.3 sever in another datacentre that uses the same domain but different domain controller. Thais domain controller is running Windows Server 2008. This works and authentication successful.
2) My colleague tested out in a lab environment of Cisco ISE 1.1.2 with Windows Server 2012. He got the same problem as described.
I have an issue with an implementation, I had a ACS R5.1 that I'm using to authenticate the wireless users with 802.1x, that's OK and working fine. Now I want to use the same ACS to authenticate wired users using MAB (for IP phones, printers, servers, and other devices) and 802.1x (for corporate users). I already configured the authentication services (MAB and 802.1x) on ACS, but when I'm doing tests I can see that for example the phones are trying to authenticate using the 802.1x rules of wireless connection, not using the MAB rules. [code]
You could also see an screen from the ACS in the attached file. On the picture remark you could see a IP Phone trying to authenticate using the wireless Access Services insted of using MAB.
I have installed ACS 5.4 and we are looking to authenticate our Anyconnect users with ACS via Active Directory. I think I have the correct commands in our ASA ( we had ACS 4 and authenticated our anyconnect users ).
I also have configured ACS to use Active Directory and installed the server side cert in ACS. I'm just uncertain how to program ACS to use the security group that I have setup in Active Directory.
We have remote users that dial-in over ISDN to a Cisco 2911. We have configured AAA to pass the authentication off to a RADIUS server. Once successfully authenticated, the router permits the users to access a single web server. However, we need to do some testing in our test environment, but unfortunately we don't have an ISDN line to test with. We have created a little environment in our LAB using a 2911, a switch, a RADIUS server & web server. I was hoping that we could simply create a "user" VLAN off the back of the 2911 to simulate our remote users, and access the web site from the test usr PC's over the LAN. I was hoping that the 2911 would be able to intercept the connection and pass the authentication off to the RADIUS server (as it does with the PPP ISDN traffic). But I cannot find anyway to do this, because I can only configure AAA to offload either PPP traffic or telnet/ssh connections to the router itself.
In summary what I want is for a user to access an internal web site over a LAN interface of a 2911 - but have the 2911 authenticate the user via a remote RADIUS server first. Is there a way to configure a 2911 (or any router!) to do this?Is the answer to configure port-based authentication (802.1X) on the switch?
Having an issue with Cisco ACS v5.1.0.44 and the Cisco WLC 5508. Cannot get users to authenticate and keep getting error messages referring to EAP session timeouts from WLC filling our logs. Seems to be with this model WLC because we have Cisco 4400 WLCs pointing to the same ACS with no issues. Is there a bug or special configuration that is necessary to marry the 5508 with ACS v5.1.0.44?
Is it possible for ACS 5.1 to only allow specific AD users to authenticate the switches and routers? Currently What I have configured is only for all AD users. I can't seem to find a way to be selective.
We are running Cisco Secure ACS for Windows version 4.1(1)b23p5 on a Windows 2000 member server. Starting from today, ACS fails to authenticate users. Using the same external user (andrea-meconi) I can verify successfull and failed authentication. This is the AUTH.log for a genericRADIUS request...
AUTH 25/02/2013 15:30:24 I 0396 3900 External DB [NTAuthenDLL.dll]: Starting authentication for user [andrea-meconi] AUTH 25/02/2013 15:30:24 I 0396 3900 External DB [NTAuthenDLL.dll]: Attempting
The ACS can authenticate people using local database , it can also authenticate a single user (using windows database) if you are fast after the service is restarted , however after a few secounds, it fails to authenticate any users , the error we are seeing on the logs appear as authentication failure type : internal error. Also on the log files, the authentication request from the user does not appear in the correct group, it is thrown into the default group.
I have ACS 4 integrated with RSA 6.1, where users of ACS can authenticate their passwords with the rsa server.I am migrating users to ACS 5, and I want to integrate with rsa.
I am configuring rsa as “rsa secureID token servers”.But how should I configure the users on acs to authenticate the password with rsa?
Previously on acs 4, on the user page, in password field, I select authenticate with external DB, Also, any guide for the config on rsa 6.1 side (with acs 5)
I have successfully set up a windows 2008 box as a Radius server and use it to authenticate VPN users against ta AD database.I have also set up a similar policy that permits authentication for management purposes to all my networking devices (routers,switches and the ASA).Both policies work fine.Of course I don't want every VPN user to have administrative access to the ASA and every other device on my network.How can I discriminate between the 2 groups (VPN users and Network administrators)
I have a cisco nexus 7000 switch and a cisco ACS 5.2. I would like to setup the switch to be able to authenticate users with tacacs+ using RSA secureid tokens when they try to logon to the switch.
Do you know if it's possible to use ACS 5.x in such manner that the admin users (so not the end users, but the administrator users of ACS) are authenticated against and external database, like Active Directory?
I am using ACS 5.3 What I am about is setting user authentication against existence of the user in specific AD group, not just being a member in any AD. What is happening now, users get authenticated as long as they exists in the AD, luckily they fail on authorization, as it is bound to specific AD group.
how can I bind the authentication aginst specific group in AD, not just using AD1 as the identity source.
we are using ACS4.2 to authenticate wireless users for ssid : copr-wireless. the acs authenticate users via windows database (acs is a member of the windows doamin) no local user defined in acs. there is a mapping between all windows users and a local group in acs (wireless_group) in wireless group i defined the vlan as 80 so that corp-wireless clients will be in vlan 80 and they can take an ip address from one DHCP server in the network. vlan 80 is in our core switch. the dhcp also.
now we added a guest anchor WC with ssid: guest-wireless. we need to auth guests also via ACS/Windows. guests are the same users as corp-wireless but corp for lan only and guest for internet only my prob is that ACS will map guests to vlan 80 because they are member of the domain, however guest users should not have any vlan. it is like if they are in DMZ. they will take ip address from the anchor WC.
i have configured acs 5.3. i integrated wth active directory also it got suceeded in test connection.but when am trying to conncet ssid its not getting authenticate, wat r the users i created on acs they can able to login on wifi ssid
I have a WLC 4404 with LWAPs, the customer has a microsoft LDAP and all users are joined to the domain and he wants the users to be authenticated against their domain accounts and this should be done automatically so that when users login to windows they are also authenticated and joined the WLAN.so how we can do that with the simplest way, without Radius server using only the LDAP and wwithout envolving any certificates.also i need to know when i add LDAP server to the WLC, how can i know that this LDAP is properly inegrated with the WLC?
After upgrade to ACS 5.2 appliance , we are trying to configure AAA between Ciscoworks and ACS. Authentication is working but authorization fails , logged user cannot access to admin parameters. I've configured attributes manually but it doesn't work.Does ACS 5.2 support integration with CiscoWorks?
I am trying to connect using officeextend but couldn't . I have managed to connect the officeextend AP to the DMZ WLC however i cant get the users to authenticte to the ACS (although there is a rule to access the access on ports 1813 and 1812). Should the DMZ WLC need the ACS servers (i thought they wouldnt require as they are anchored back to the Internal WLC that the ACS server address
oon a side note, i have'nt created dhcp for hte officeedxtend users - will this cause an issue - (just deciding on to it on WLC or windows server)In-fact i cant even see myself authenticating on the ACS server
what to do with my router cdr -king i cant access 192.168.1.1 in second time. i access it for the first time but i forgot to configure password now i cant connect using ID:admin Pass:admin
We have a customer with ACS 4.2 Appliances who currently uses the Layer 3 web-redirect guest function to authenticate users against AD via ACS and LDAP to the AD, its a mixture of un-managed Windows, Mac & linux clients.
They want to move to an 802.1x solution.
Now MS-CHAPv2 is proably the obvoius choice (maybe it isnt considering Linux and MAC clients ... comments???). However the only option to integrate with AD is LDAP i.e remote agents or an upgrade to 5.x is out of the question.
I am trying to configure a Cisco ASA 5505 so that users can authenticate via Radius or via a Local account using the Cisco AnyConnect client. In the AnyConnect Connection profile, the basic tab, it has Authentication Method. We have this going to an AAA server group with Use Local if Server Group fails option is checked.Each time, I see where the user has failed while attemtping to log in to the domain via the radius servers and thus bypasses the local user database all together.
I'm actually require authentication for users who are coming from the PublicVLAN (the vlan associated with the wireless hotspot) to authenticate themself to the LDAP server via my firewall ASA 5510
i want to control manageent access to symbol Wireless Switch WS6000 with my ACS. the issue is that i can't find the Vendor Specific Attributes forSymbol devices. i wonder if theres a way to control it with IETF or Other Radius Attributes.
I have an auditor wanting a screenshot of all users that have acces to configure our firewall, I am unfamiliar with 5.1. Is there a way of running such a report on a paticular device?
I currently have a Cisco ACS 3415 appliance with 5.4. Coming from the ACS 4.2 world, I'm have a bit of a struggle creating the following and I was hoping if I could be shown clear steps I can duplicate the rest.
I want to creat a group ie: AIRTEMP with access time from 7:00am to 5:00pm and add 2 users to the group.
Users access our site using a vpn client connecting to a ASA5550. The ASA and the ACS already communicate with each other.
The ACS 5.4 user guide has me bouncing all over different page.
Having an issue with Macbook authentication. All Macbooks at this one site, on same switch, going to same RADIUS server, work except for one. Looking at logs it appears server and client never exchange certificates. Attached is log for failed Macbook authentication.
I think i've got everything set up to authenticate against AD for Tacacs+ device logins. When i check the logs, i see:"24408 User authentication against Active Directory failed since user has entered the wrong password". This leads me to believe that it is checking AD correctly, however if i enter the password correctly for the same AD user, there is no log at all...no pass, no fail.
If i look at the Tacacs debugs on the switch, i see the following:May 25 10:55:07.927 CDT: TAC+: ver=192 id=874699084 received AUTHEN status = ERRORMay 25 10:55:09.932 CDT: TAC+: send abort reason=Unknown
Obviously the switch is communicating to ACS, and ACS is passing info back to the switch. ACS also appears to be communicating effectively with AD since it knows when i put in an incorrect password for the specific user.
we have deployed L3 in-band scenario for wireless 2 years ago and the solution was working without any problem. we have upgrade wireless controller to 5508, since then, when users login to the first page and certified, and they want to browse to the internet, NAC redirects the web page and ask for authenticatin again, despite the users' devices are being shown as certified devices in the list.
I have setup Cisco Identity Service Engine (1.1.1) with Wireless LAN Controller (7.2.110)Everything is complete unless the URL redirect. My guest client can join the Guest SSID and also can authenticate to ISE.But after they success to authenticate with ISE, the URL in the browser doesn't change to the pre-configure. It still be something like [URL]. Anyway the content in the browser is changed to the URL that being configured such as url...How can I do with this situation cause everything is working fine but only the browser URL that is not change to the preconfigure one.
Have set up a pair of ACS 5.3 servers and have set up device administration authentication be passed through to an RSA server via RADIUS. All works great.
What we want to do is go a step further and set the system up so that ACS Administrators also have to authenticate to the ACS system by RSA via RADIUS (the same as the Device Authentication we've set up) for ACS administration tasks.
Looking at the options available in the ACS Administration setup (administrator accounts etc) there doesn't seem to be an option to authenticate via another method apart from a local administrator account on the ACS.
I have seen couple of people with win7 cannot authenticate to ISE: 12520 EAP-TLS failed SSL/TLS handshake because the client rejected the ISE local-certificate.I've thought of this: Maybe get a 3rd party cert (go daddy) and have that installed in ISE.I know i do have to make a CSR Cert.Sign.Request that matches cn=primary.ise.mydomain, would I also need a cert for secondary?
If I use LEAP as a preferred protocol then it doesn't ask for cert and users are authenticated successfully.I know they have to say do not validate cert and all that but sometimes it doesn't popupt to them they just can't get on.Again maybe going wtih 3rd party certs will make it easier while benefiting from using PEAP?
On an ASA5520 v7.2 I can only seem to authenticate to the console when using telnet and not ssh. I can connect using both methods, but just have trouble authenticating with ssh. Here are relevent lines related to the issue:
