Cisco VPN :: 5520 AnyConnect Authentication With RADIUS Secure Method
Nov 6, 2012
I have been successfully able to setup Cisco AnyConnect VPN on ASA 5520 with 8.4 code. I have set it to authenticate against the RADIUS Server (Microsoft Windows 2008 NPS server). I have noticed one thing, on the server under "Constraints and Authentication Method". I picked MS-CHAP-v2, but it is considered Less secure authentication methods. I can click on Add and choose other Authentication methods like Smart Card or other Certificate, PEAP, EAP-MSCHAP v2. I picked PEAP but then the VPN does not work.
So first of all does it really matter if I just leave it to MS-CHAP-v2? Because from my understanding is that AnyConnect will authenticate to ASA and then ASA in the backend talks to the RADIUS server so from a security stand point this scenario shouldn't it be sufficient as no un encrypted or less secure information is available to the outside world? Secondly is there any documentation on using PEAP with Cisco AnyConnect?
Any instructions to configure an ASA to allow authentication by certificate only on an AnyConnect vpn?I'm running an ASA 5505 with 8.4(1) and AnyConnect 2.4.7030 on an Android phone.I currently have the AnyConnect client connecting ok using username / password for authentication.
I have loaded the company root certificate (internally generated) into the ASA "CA Certificates" and generated an Identity Certificate for the ASA.
I need to activate AnyConnect SecureMobility client on an IPAD. I have an ASA with the below feature licenses:
[code]...
This platform has an ASA 5520 VPN Plus license
As I've understood that I need the ASA-AC-M-5520 license for each IPAD used but they mentioned that we need also the Essential or premium license to be activated on the ASA as well. As shown above, I have the "VPN Plus license" activated on the firewall.
We are using an ASA 5520, running 8.4(3). We have users running the AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client 3.1.02026. I have the AnyConnect connection profile configured to authenticate users using LDAP over SSL. I enabled the password management and am able to get password change prompts to appear in the AnyConnect client. However, new passwords are rejected and changing passwords through that prompt does not work. I'm not sure what the cause of the problem is, since LDAP over SSL is enabled and working, which is required for the password management feature
I'm in the process of moving some of our remote access vpn to an asa5520 and anyconnect.
The problem I've come across is that when using radius as authentication, I choose any one of my connection profiles in anyconnect and log in with any username regardless of the group on radius.
How do I map the connection profile to a group on radius so that i can separate the users?
I have a query regarding MAC authentication for end systems on ASA 5520. Inspite of proving MAC address in endpoint authentication along with AAA, only AAA attribute policies are getting created. MAC authentication is not happening.
Is there any requirement like LDAP or AD is required for MAC authentication?
I have an ASA 5520 and I am having trouble getting the AnyConnect VPN authentication timeout feature to work properly. I thought I did have it working a couple of months ago, but right now it is not giving me more than the default 12 seconds. I have tried intervals of anywhere from 25 seconds up to 120. I am currently runnign version 6.4 on the ASA and AnyConnect 2.5.3055.
I've got a weird problem that I can't figure out. I've de-authorized the switch in the RADIUS server to force an ERROR status to test the backup entries in the AAA authentication method list. However, after I do that and try to log in (through ssh), it just prompts me for my username's password and not the enable password. Here's the debug output:
1d02h: RADIUS: Marking server xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:1812,1813 dead 1d02h: RADIUS: Tried all servers. 1d02h: RADIUS: No valid server found. Trying any viable server 1d02h: RADIUS: Tried all servers. 1d02h: RADIUS: No response for id 10
I want to use RADIUS (of Secure ACS 5.3) to authenticate users within an ISP environment. Users log connect to a network using a point to point connection (L2) and then they are sending a RADIUS request to get IP adresses. Secure ACS is not quite easy to look through in that case.
We currently have an ASA 5505 Firewall with VPN services configured. The system is running ASA Version 9.0.0 and ADSDM 7.0.2. I installed the "Cisco AnyConnect Sercure Mobility Client" Version 3.1.01065 on my Windows 7 Ultimate PC. When I try to connect to my VPN service I ge the following message:
Security Warning: Untrusted VPN Server Certificate! AnyConnect cannot verify the VPN server: XXX.XXX.XX.XX
-Certifiate does not match the server name -Certificate is from an untrusted source. -Certificate is not identified for this purpose.
Without purchasing a certificate from a 3rd Party vendor, is it possible to register a "Self" generated Certificate to get rid of this message? If so are there any "Detailed" (e.g., simplified or not in Cisco-eeze language) instructions on how to setup the Firewall to "push" the certificate to the VPN client so the message doesn't come up for the user?
Two ASA-5510 in Failover.I already have several VPN with Cisco VPN client.Now I have the requirement to activate new AnyConnect VPN, witch "migrate" the old VPN to.The customer does not want to purchase licenses for SSL VPN, and then I have to configure the AnyConnect on IPSEC.I read that AnyConnect over IPSEC don't need SSL license - is this right?
Client version 2.5.3055.On the ASA with 8.4.2 (ASDM 6.4.7) I don't find HOW to configure the IPSEC for AnyConnect, while a friend of mine with 8.4.3 did it.Is there a way to configure using CLI, or is an item of the 8.4.2 ?When I try to connect, after authenticating Username & Password, I receive (on the client) a message "AnyConnect was not able to establish a connection to the specified secure gateway." On the "Real Time Log Viewer" I see only SSL, never IKE nor IPSEC
We have several ASA 5510 firewalls which are being used as VPN gateways.RSA SecurID is the authentication mechanism using native SDI connectivity. No ACS server is being used.Is it possible to assign user Group and other attributes (such as ACL), using the SecurID RADIUS server? I know this is what the Cisco ACS is for, but is it possible using the RSA RADIUS server itself?
IOS SSL VPN fails to connect, CSCtx38806.pdf file for more info...There is bug with router IOS. if anyone cannot connect to router webvpn service via 3.1.00495 anyconnect client and it is giving you certificate error. you would be only able to connect via SSL web page not via client. Then please upgrade your IOS to latest version. IOS SSL VPN fails to connect after microsoft security update KB2585542 Workaround: Use rc4, w which is a less secure encryption option. If this meets your security needs, then you may use it as follows:
webvpn gatew ay gatew ay name ssl encryption rc4-md5
I have anyconnect-win-2.5.6005-k9.pkg anyconnect installed on router. When I try to connect with webvpn from client on machine 2.5.6005 anyconnect or latest secure mobility client 00495. it gives me certificate error. it doesn’t connect me with IOS web VPN. I can connect via SSL web page. There is bug please upgrade your IOS to latest version.
Will the RV042 work with theAnyConnect Secure Mobility Client app? If so, is there and app note available? If not, which routers wil work with this app?
I recently got my hands on the latest Secure Mobility VPN v3.1.01 client. We are upgrading from the old anyconnect 2.4 client so there are many changes that are catching us by surprise. The biggest issue I have right now is that the new Mobility VPN launches automatically when a user signs into a machine. We would like to disable that automatic connection/launch feature. With the old 2.4 client we simply disabled the AnyConnect Service in Services.msc by default and started it up when a user was ready to connect.
The problem is.....When I log in, the client does its start-up bit, and then displays a "This certificate is intended for the following purpose(s):" message. If I decline the certificate, it gives me the error message shown in the image, but I can otherwise continue and establish my VPNs with no problem.
Unfortunately, the certificate it selects has nothing to do with my organization ( in fact, the certificate is for "*.whitepages.com" - see images). To make matters worse, I can not find this referenced certificate anywhere under my user context in Windows.
I have tried removing, rebooting, and re-installing - it does no good.How do I force the client to stop using this incorrect certificate, and to at least use one that belongs to my organization?
Windows clients work fine. When loaced from safari in Mac OS, it also works fine. -- If I browse to the url, like vpn.xxx.com/profilename, I can login and anyconnect will start and connect automatically. Only when run from applications > Cisco > Cisco Anyconnect Secure Mobility Client, I will get this failure. Is this a configuration issue?
Need deployed accounting method to log Anyconnect session details ? Do you do it via a radius server or via logging messages to a syslog server ?
Any appropriate configuration ? I am looking to log successful and unsuccessful authentications as well as session length, log on and log off times.
I've been playing around with Anyconnect authenticating to AD via ACS 5.1 but can't seem to get the accounting details I require. Similarly I have tried to catch appropriate syslog messages but again without much success.
We have a Cisco ASA5510 configured to work with Microsoft Radius Server. VPN authorization and authentication is working well with L2TP over IPSec, and users are authenticating with MSChapV2 like we want them to.
Now we are trying to setup Anyconnnect to do the same. How do we tell AnyConnect to use MSChap-V2 versus PAP? using ADSM? I think I know how to do the Microsoft Part of it, but I don't know where to go in ADSM to configure this.
Is it possible to send profile name as an Radius atribute during client authentication? I would like to match users depends on profile name to sperate Identity Stores in my ACS. ASA 5540 8.4, anyconnect 3.1.01065, ACS 5.1
We are in the process of upgrading our win2003 radius server with a new win2008 radius server. We have an ASA5520 and FWSM in 6509, using anyconnect client. This has worked fine until we introduced the win2008 radius server. When in the asdm on the asa, you can click on the new server and click test and authenticate ok with your AD credentials. But when try to use anyconnect on your laptop, it takes the credentials password and the accept certificate, but then fails with "anyconnect was not able to connect to specified gateway.." message, then "the secure gateway has rejected the connection attempt due to network connectivity issue...host or network is 0" message. We thought we setup the new radius the same way, obviously not. is therw an easy way to use debug on the firewalls to see what is wrong? looked in event logs on radius server, have not found anything.
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.
I am setting up an LDAP identity store over ldaps in ACS 5.1. I specify that the connection uses secure authentication and provide the Root CA certificate. When I hit "Test Bind to Server", I get this error message in a popup window: "Connection test bind Failed :server certificate not found"Is this saying that ACS can't find the CA certificate uploaded, or does it mean the actual certificate presented by my LDAPS server during the bind test?
I've recently been looking into linking in our Cisco 2960S Gb Switch with RSA SecureID via Radius.I've already managed to link it in for ssh access
but I've not managed to get it working for http / web access to the switchI think this is because we're using "single use" tokens for maximum security with RSA Secure-ID and the web interface attempts to authenticate multiple times against the Radius part of the RSA SecureID server (okay on the first authentication, but each time after it's going to want a different token code)
(if there's a way to get the switch to just authenticate once instead of multiple times against the radius server) For info the switch is a WS-C2960S-24TS-L with IOS 15.0(1)SE2
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:
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?
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 am configuring an old WLC4400 with V4.2.130.0. I added a new sub-interface for VLAN 50 with proper IP for the subnet and then add the Radius server(Windows server 2008 with NPS) onto WLC4400. I then created new WLAN with WPA+WPA2 Encryption and 802.1x key management and selected the Radius server under AAA for authentication.
Configured the test XP with WPA-Enterprise and PEAP as EAP method. I purposely configured computer to prompt for username and password.
When I try to connect, I did get prompt for username and password. However after that nothing happens. It seems like laptop just keep trying to authenticate.
I checked windows event log and do not see anything under NPS. I know this windows server NPS setup works as it is also the authentication server for our remotevpn.
is there any special option I need to turn on for WLC in order for Radius authentication work? Or is there any known bug with V4.2.130.
I have a 5510 authenticating successfully with a RADIUS server. I'm using it for VPN authentication and it works great. I would also like to do this for administrator access to the ASA. When I turn it on though, any authentication for VPN access is also granted administrative access to the ASA. Obviously, I need to limit that to a select few users.
I am trying to authenticate on Juniper NSM express using cisco ACS 5.2. The request is arriving at the cisco ACS but i am getting the following error.RADIUS requests can only be processed by Access Services that are of type Network Access.
I am having ACS 4.0.2 in my network, which I want to use for 802.1x Radius Authentication for Clients on PEAP-MSCHAPv2 methodology.As per the documentation " EAP Authentication with RADIUS Server", Doc ID: 44844.I have configured Network Configuration and populated AAA client IP range and Secret Key.
Question1: Under Authenticate Using option, there are various RADIUS flavors available for selection. For a Non Cisco AAA client, should I select RADIUS IETF?
Question 2: In the above snap shot, It has an option called Global Authentication Setup, where we can setup EAP configuration. Under PEAP subsection there is an option to "Allow EAP-MSCHAPv2" check box.After checking that, is a restart required to the ACS Server? Would it cause any disruptions to the existing services on the ACS?
