Cisco Wireless :: 5508 - WLC 7.2 - Custom WebAuth Using Waep Template With HTTP Only
Apr 12, 2012
We are trying to get the waep template (default no changes) from the Cisco WebAuth bundle to work on a 5508 controller.
We've setup the controller to use the custom login.tar that comes with the waep template folder in the bundle. We setup the WLAN to work off the global template and we used the config network web-auth secureweb disable command to allow only http rather than https (which is supposed to work in 7.2 code)
When we test with the custom bundle, we get no answer from the controller, just a url of [URL]
If we turn custom off, and use internal everything works...
Just to be clear.. we aren't looking for authentication (user and pass) we are trying to do the enter your email and click accept to the aup method.
I have a custom webauth page installed that I am using with web passthrough authentication on my WLC2006 in order to put up a acceptable use policy page. The WLC uses HTTPS to display this which causes a security certificate warning to appear if I go with the WLC's own self-signed certificate. Is there a way I can get the WLC to use plain HTTP to display this page instead so I can eliminate the warning? I have already tried installing a trusted 3rd party certificate on the WLC, but I have this very strange problem where mucking with the WLC's web authentication certificate in any manner causes all network activity on the WLC to break except for CDP and ARP, essentially leaving the WLC dead. Three weeks of troubleshooting with Cisco TAC has yielded no progress on that front so now I am trying to bypass the need for a security certificate altogether since I really don't need to encrypt my acceptable use policy page.
I am using webauth and need to install a SSL cert to prevent the "There is a problem with this website's security certificate" message. I have a Wildcard cert that was issued by Network Solutions that I use on a couple web servers I run, and want to know if I can use that for the WLC? It's a pks cert and I think the WLC needs to use a pem cert, so I converted the wildcard to pem. Or do I need to purchase a cert that is not a wildcard and is in pem format?
We have disabled the WebAuth SecureWeb on our 5508 WLCs so Guest users can access the guest splash page without the certifiacate error. The controllers are currently running 7.3.112.0. Everything works fine with the WebAuth SecureWeb enabled, but once we disable the guest users are not redirecting to the splash page anymore. I remember having to reload the controller in the past to disable HTTPS completely, but is this still the case? I don't see any documentation supporting the need to reload.
I am trying to apply WLAN template from NCS to two WLCs 5508 and I receive this message."Another WLAN with same SSID and either WPA1/ WPA2/ WPA1+WPA2 is enabled. Please change the Layer 2 security policy."The template has layer 2 security with WPA+WPA2 enable and 802.1x.I have other WLAN template with other name and other SSID with the same security policies with no problem to apply.
I have a new fresh 5508 release 7.0.98.0 When I try to download (I mean upload to the controller) a customized Webauth bundle in .tar format I have the following message error in the syslog :*TransferTask: Oct 29 12:56:08.894: %UPDATE-3-UNTAR_CMD_FAIL: updcode.c:2832 Error during untar of webauth bundle. Tar returned 256.
I have in the past downloaded the webauth bundle to a wlc 5508 running 7.0.98 successfully. I am trying to upload a new bundle after modifying the AUP but I get an error after the download to the wlc.
The error with FTP or TFTP is % Error: Webauth Bundle file transfer failed - Unknown error - refer to log
I've tried to copy the unmodified bundle from the zip and get the same error so I don't think it's the login.tar file.
i am getting an error during the Upload of Login page for WLC 5508 customized.After the upload is completed i receveid the error "Error extracting webauth files."I tried to create the file *.tar with different program (winrar, 7zip, gnu tar, etc)
I have follow below URL to disable the https over web authentication:
[URL]
What i want to achieve is disable https over web authentication due to certificate issue, but it seems like even we have disable the http over web management as above URL describe, still https while doing web authentication. Or it is possible to configure use port other than 80, like 8080 for web authentication? (need to reboot the wlc?)Is there any bug that related to this CSCsy32145?
I would like to get webauth bundle sample to create custom page for our AP controllers but I'm unable to find the sample .tar within the WCS itself.Some other WCS manuals has references in them that says there should be link to download sample from WCS but clearly 2106 hasn't got one.There's one in download section "webauth bundle 1.0.2.zip" but this is for registered partners and costumers, we are not registered as partners and cannot download the sample ourselves.
i've upgraded our WLC 5508 from 7.0.220 to 7.2.115.1.For our guest WLAN we use web authentication with customized startpage, no login error page and no logout page. The customized login page is displayed correctly. After successful authentication the browser is forwarded to the default CISCO login page "login.html". No further autentication is possible, also no internet access.Reload the customized webauth bundle to the controller didn't change anything. Is there a change in the HTML/Java code of this controller version? I didn't find any hint in the release notes. Or do I need the newer web authentication bundle with version 1.0.2?
I am testing out some inspection options on an ASA 5505, and I am running into a situation in which applying a http inspection is dropping all outbound http traffic. I get a "protocol violation" error in the logs.
Here is the setup: I'm not sure why the web traffic is getting dropped.

I've installed a Cisco Wireless LAN Controller (4402) with six access points (AIR-LAP1131AG-E-K9) and created two WPA2 protected WLAN SSID's (e.g. internal and guest) and everything works fine.
The WLAN SSID named Guest, should be used for externel people. This SSID aditonal WebAuth. This also works fine, the guest receive a WPA2 key and username/password for WebAuthentication. But this works at this point only when they user WirelessLAN.
Now my Question: Is it possible to provide the setup also to the wired network using the WLC?
I attempted to assign a User Roles template to a## 2504 controller and if failed with message stating controller version not supported. My current WCS version is 7.0172, if I upgrade to the lastest version will that resolve the template issue?
I created a LAP Template in NCS to configure some new 1142 LAPs that were installed in a remote office. These LAPs need to be in Flex Connect mode with V LAN support. The template is being applied with partial success on every access point. Details of the partial success say the Flex Connect Parameters fail with the following error.
Provision Failure: { URL}.Object Not Found Exception cannot be cast to [URL]
Am I doing something wrong? The Flex Connect portion of the template has V LAN Support enabled, Native V LAN ID, and the Profile Name- V LAN Mappings configured.
Prime NCS version 1.1.1.24 Access Points are AIR-LAP1142N-A-K9s running 7.2.110.0
I try to make custom web-auth bundle for WLC 2125. User authentication from this custom page work fine, but any error messages about wrong login/pass not work.
Is this supported function for custom pages? If yes, could you result a working html-code?
I have been tasked with migrating from ACS 4 to ACS 5.3. I havent had any training and so i am finding it a bit different. Currently i have this issue -
I have a group in the ACS 4 for users accessing via wireless on the ACS - Code...
I have built my own computer and have almost finished with everything, but I am unsure as to how to set up the wireless capabilities for it. I am submitting this thread on the computer itself, but am using an ethernet cord to connect to the internet. I don't know if I need to download and install a different driver or if there is a simple way to just change some settings in the control panel. I am using windows 7 64 bit. The networking hardware is a realtek 8111f Gigabit LAN controller
I have custom firmware installed on this router and everything is fine, signal strenth is 'excellent' ...BUT the internet on my laptop and also on my iphone keeps dropping out maybe once every two minutes.
I have 2 5508s (foreign and anchor both running 7.2.110.0) with an open WLAN configured via mobility anchors. This configuration works and has no problems. My next task is to incorporate a webauth page (accept/reject) to present the clients with AUP information, etc. On the foreign controller I created a test WLAN (open) and setup webauth Passthrough using the Cisco webauthbundle (wap.html), this works as intended, no issues. However I am at a loss as to how to incorporate the webauth Passthrough functionality on the WLAN that is configured for the mobility anchor.
Recectly we replaced Cisco 2100 Series LAN controller to Cisco 5508 Wirless LAN controller , I downloaded WebAuth Bundle from my Old LAN Controller ,when i am trying to upload to my New Wireless LAN controller ,its not uploading and also it gave me uploading failure error message .
I'm trying to install a webauth certificate -- it works fine when unchained, however once I add the additional information the installation fails. I am using the same root and intermediate certificate information as last year, and it worked fine then. I can recreate last year's pem file with the chained information and it installs fine, so it's only when I include the new device certificate information that it fails. The certificate installs fine when it's not chained, I'm not receiving any openssl errors, and I'm not using openssl 1.0.
I understand that Cisco have at long last provided a facility to separate HTTP web authentication from HTTPS WLC management on WLC code 7.2.x for the new 5500 series WLCs.
My question is does Cisco intend to provide the same much needed functionality on the 4400 series WLCs that are running 7.0.x code? I was looking through the release notes for v7.0.235.3 code and that did not seem to mention this functionality. I know we can get around the problem by purchasing an SSL certificate so that guest users with web authentication do not have to see the same security warning each time they log in but the idea to separate the HTTP web authentication from HTTPS WLC management seems so much simpler.
Web auth redirect URL gets dropped if stateful firewall is between webauth host and switch management interface. Aaron at Cisco live london kinda hinted about maybe Cisco working on this ? We can't disable stateful inspection. Is there any other solutions or workarounds ?
"Although this approach introduces additional hops in the return path from the switch to the host, it produces negligible load on the default router and intervening infrastructure since only the WebAuth traffic from the switch to the host follows this path. In campus designs that do not use SVIs on the data VLAN,6 a default route is typically already configured. In this case, no additional configuration is required to support WebAuth.
However, problems may arise in the case in which traffic to the default router is bridged through a stateful firewall. The original SYN packet in the TCP handshake is consumed by the access switch, so the first packet that the firewall sees is the SYN-ACK packet from the access switch. Stateful firewalls typically drop SYN-ACK packets if they have not seen the original SYN packet.In this case, you will need to turn off stateful inspection for ports 80 and 443 on the firewall."
I'm following a tutorial that 'dumbs down' the modem and lets me use the router for everything.
It asks me to set up a static LAN IP (10.x.x.x range) and edit the DHCP pool of the router. When I'm logged in to the routers admin, it doesn't seem I'm able to do any of this.
Earlier in the tutorial it also asked me to set up a static IP for the router, which I did I suppose.
I've added a screenshot of the admin panel, in case that's relevant.
I want to add the command "no logging event link-status" to all switchport mode access ports EXCEPT for the ones with the following switchport access vlans: 4022,4032,4042,4052,4072 & 4082. How do I create a compliance template to do this? LMS 3.2, RME 4.3.1
Have upgraded WCS to 7.0 due to a Mesh network feature we needed, but now see I can no longer edit the AP migration templates. The interface allows me to create or delete them but the command dropdown box does not show an Edit option. So now for every AP I want to migrate I need to create a new template before I can select the AP's and migrate them. I still need to migrate about 220 APs....
Looking though the function it tells me to click on the Migration Template name. However neither in MS IE nor Firefox this works, there is no link activated.
I am trying to create a very basic template in compliance manager that checks for interfaces that aren't members of specific VLANs. VLAN 10 being one of them. I want to match interfaces assigned to VLAN 20. According to the documentation I have read, the following range statement should work because 10 falls between 3 and 19:
With the preceeding statement, however, interfaces assigned to both VLAN 10 and VLAN 20 are matching the rule. With this specific rule (not a range), only interfaces w/VLAN 20 are processed by the template, which is expected. We actually have numerous VLANs that we want to exclude/include. I only mentioned VLANs 10 and 20 for brevity.
Any recommendation for creating a configuration template for the SRP521W? I can use the Admin-->Backup Config to get a xxx.cfg file, but I cannot edit it with notepad++. Also, i know the config can be view via view-source: [URL], but how would I load a modified copy of this back to the router?
