WLSE Radius(IAS or ACS)

Hi,
Does anyone know if WLSE will work with Microsoft IAS? The Cisco doco indicates "IEEE 802.1X authentication server, such as Cisco Secure ACS"
We have an IAS setup using PEAP.

These caveats are resolved in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(15)JA:
CSCed69756—By default, the access point sends reauthentication requests to the authentication server with the service-type attribute set to authenticate-only. However, some Microsoft IAS servers do not support the authenticate-only service-type attribute. Changing the service-type attribute to login-only ensures that Microsoft IAS servers recognize reauthentication requests from the access point. Use the dot11 aaa authentication attributes service-type login-only global configuration command to set the service-type attribute in reauthentication requests to login-only.
This came from
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/wireless/ps430/prod_release_note09186a00802146cf.html
I have read several forum articles dealing with IAS, FreeRadius, etc.

  • Adding RADIUS VSAs on ACS 3.2 SE

    I have tried to add a VSA to enable a Packeteer to authenticate using RADIUS on the ACS.
    Using RDBMS synchronization to import the csv file below.
    SequenceId,Priority,GroupName,Action,ValueName ,Value1,Value2,Value3
    1,1,External,163,26,access=look,2334,1
    The group name is 'External', Action is 163 which corresponds to ADD_RADIUS_ATTR.
    From RDBMS Sychronization Import Definitions (http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/access/acs_soft/csacs4nt/acs32/user/ag.htm#wp35130)
    To add a vendor-specific attribute (VSA), set VN = "26" and use V2 and V3 as follows:
    •V2 = IETF vendor ID (which in this case is 2334)
    •V3 = VSA attribute ID (1)
    •V1 = In this case 'access=look'
    After a couple of attempts I got the format correct but when I try and import the file I don't get an "INFO" message in the "Reports" section of the ACS indicating that the process was successful. I don't get any message at all, WARNING, ERROR or INFO.
    From the FTP server I can confirm that the file was transferred.
    What I should get is an INFO message similar to:
    08/30/2004 16:27:50 INFO Sync complete: 1 transaction(s) 0 parse error(s) 0 process error(s)
    Any ideas as to what is wrong would be much appreciated.

    IN any case the same content is copied below:-
    Also the stpes on how to do them is listed here
    Create a User Defined Vendor
    First, you need to create a User Defined Vendor.
    1. Create a text file (packet.ini) and enter the following:
    [User Defined Vendor]
    Name=Packeteer
    IETF Code=2334
    VSA 1=Packeteer-AVPair
    [Packeteer-AVPair]
    Type=STRING
    Profile=OUT
    2. Name the file packet.ini.
    Add the Vendor to the Database
    Next, you need to add the above vendor to the database.
    1. Go to the command prompt, and change the directory to the Cisco Secure utils directory (typically C:\Program Files\CiscoSecure ACS v3.0\Utils).
    2. The instructions below install the vendor into User Defined slot 0. If you have other vendors, you need to change this number to a free slot. To see a list of slots and their assignments, use the csutil -listudv command. For example:
    C:\Program Files\CiscoSecure ACS v3.0\Utils>csutil -listudv

    3. Run csutil -addudv to and add Packeteer to UDV (User Defined Vendor) slot 0 or the next
    open slot.

  • Anyconnect authentication via Radius (IAS) using AD groups

    Hi all,
    I'm trying to figure out how to setup our ASA to use AD group membership to assign users a profile using Radius.  The goal is to setup different access into the network. 
    For instance, one group would be allowed full access to the network, including access to infrastructure elements (ASA, routers, etc.)
    Another group will be given basic access to the network, but no access to the DMZ.
    Another group will be allowed access to the DMZ server, but not to the infrastructure.
    We're currently using Radius (IAS) on Windows Server 2003.  Is there a way to check group membership in AD using Radius? 
    I'd like to keep this as simple as possible, so I'm thinking of each profile using a different VPN Pool, then using split-tunneling to put routes, or not, to the required networks on the users device.  The users would only belong to one group in AD.  They will be able to choose their group, but if they're not a member they should be denied.
    I've done LDAP authentication using group membership, but we need good accounting and logging so we'd like to use the Radius server.  I've looked for this info everywhere, but it's pretty elusive. 
    Thanks for any suggestions, links, step-by-step instructions or volunteers to come on-site and help

    It's significantly easier with security products like Cisco Identity Services Engine, but you're adding infrastrcture and cost. Next best thing is DAP. DAP is actually pretty easy, don't let the config guide scare you away from it. IMO MS Radius stinks for anything other than basic authentication so I never use it for anything else.

  • How to monitor Radius services on ACS 5.4

    Hi All,
    I want to monitor  Radius services of ACS 5.4,  In case of failure any radius service on ACS.
    ACS should send alert to Syslogs  or email notification
    Is there any way to monitor Radius services ? Anyone have any idea how to monitor.
    Regards.

    Hi Narinder,
       I dont think so there is any particular way you can do that, Because ACS 5.x doesnt have any particluar Radius service.

  • Set-up Radius Server to ACS 4.2 and AD server

    Hi Guys,
    I would like to ask help from you on how to set-up Radius server in ACS 4.2  (step-by-step guide or link), wireless client will be authenticated via Active Directory when connecting to our Wireless AP so it means that our Wireless AP is added as client to Radius server.
    Thanks in advance!
    regards,
    Gagamboy

    Hi Colin
    thanks for your answer, we had the this setting correct. I was able to solve the problem yesterday, we had some faults in the AD mapping.
    I didn't know that when I select more AD groups for one ACS group in one step, that the user / host has to be in every of these AD groups (AND conjunction).
    Now I only added one AD group for my ACS group and it works. The error message "AD user restriction" was not very helpful for finding this fault ;-)

  • TACACS auth and RADIUS accounting with ACS

    I am having RADIUS accounting issues with an ASA 5520 that uses TACACS for authentication. Both are hosted on the same ACS server. I can send RADIUS info to my Microsoft IAS box but get Syslog ID 113022 errors when trying to send to the ACS RADIUS. A packet capture shows the RADIUS accounting request getting to the ACS box (Windows Server 2003 R2) but syslog shows failedauth. Any ideas?

    Thank you for the response. I did verify the syslog explanation you gave below and the AAA server is online as TACACS message are getting to it. My configuration for the ASA for RADIUS is as follows
    Server Group - RADIUS
    Protocol - RADIUS
    Accounting Mode - Simultaneous
    Reactivation Mode - Timed
    Max Failed attempts - 3
    Two servers in the Server Group
    ACS - Not working
    Microsoft IAS - Working
    I have tried removing the IAS server and changing the accounting mode to single and still getting auth failures.
    ACS is configured as follows
    Network Configuration
    AAA Clients - ASA authenticate using TACACS+
    AAA Servers - None listed. When I tried to add the ACS machine the error said the server already existed (In another Network Device Group)

  • Microsoft Radius Server vs ACS/Radius

    Hi,
    Is there any differences between Microsoft Radius Server and the Radius in ACS.
    Thanks
    Ali

    I have used both with pretty good success. The one thing I do not like about ACS is the fact that a user can only belong to one group. The documentation for ACS is pretty good and configuring ACS is pretty simple. I was able to import my AP's from a file which was nice since I had around 100 to setup/install. That was really quick and simple.
    The isn't a lot of documentation around for configuring IAS with Cisco Wireless equipment, but there are hints in these forums if you search. I had IAS configured to assign VLANS to certain wireless users (actually groups) and it works fine. There were a few bugs (differences between VxWorks and IOS) that have been corrected I believe. If you run into problems make sure your AP's software is up to date.
    Aside from the fact that a user can belong to only one group, I like ACS. I haven't had much time to finish my configuration as far as Wireless goes, but so far things have been pretty simple to configure.
    If you have any more questions feel free to ask...

    thank...
    Marco

    Hi Marco,
    When you type in the wrong password do you see the login fail on the device you entered it? Depending on how you have configured fallback mechanisms on ACS, an attempt can still be permited eventhough the authentication failed.
    It would be best to take a look at the authentication steps under the RADIUS authentication log for an attempt you beleive should have failed to see what ACS is doing with the request.

  • Configuring AAA network client on ACS v5.1 using the same RADIUS atributes from ACS v3.3

    Hello,
    I was wondering if i should use the same RADIUS VSA attribute on ACS v5.1 to authenticate AAA clients as those i was using on my old     ACS v3.3 server.
    Exemple : under ACS v3.3 i was using RADIUS (Cisco Aironet) attribute to authenticate AP & WLC, should i do the same under ACS v5.1 ?
    Best regards.

    Hello,
    When defining AAA client on the new ACS 5.x server you just select TACACS+ or RADIUS. We no longer define the RADIUS "vendor"/"VSA" when creating the AAA Client entry. All AAA client would be defined as RADIUS or TACACS+ only.
    If you were using specific VSA Attributes then you need to send those attributes back configuring Authorization Profiles on the ACS 5.x. You will find the specific VSA attributes there. Refer to the following screenshots:
    And here are the available attributes for the ACS for RADIUS Aironet:

  • Cisco Meraki Radius auth to ACS 5.6

    I have several meraki AP's deployed that I would like to use 2-factor authentication to, as well as AD group membership lookup.  The 2 factor service we are looking at is cloud based radius and only supports a few auth protocols.  The Meraki AP's also only support a few auth types, and the 2 dont seem to line up.
    It seems that when a user radius authenticates on an AP, this is only proxied by ACS to the radius server??  So if the cloud radius server and meraki dont support the same type it just fails with an error that the radius server does not support the authentication method.

    Hi Anthony,
    I don't thing so it will support non-standard ports as the options are only Disk,FTP,SFTP,TFTP and NFS.

  • APC (UPS) RADIUS authentication with ACS 5.X

    I am trying to do RADIUS authentication for APC (UPS) using ACS 5.2 Appliance. It is working fine with ACS 4.2, but unfortunately not with ACS 5.2. I tried creating RADIUS VSA (Vendor Specific Attributes) for APC in ACS 5.2.
    According to the APC dictionary file
    VENDOR APC 318
    # Attributes
    ATTRIBUTE APC-Service-Type 1 integer APC
    ATTRIBUTE APC-Outlets 2 string APC
    VALUE APC-Service-Type Admin 1
    VALUE APC-Service-Type Device 2
    VALUE APC-Service-Type ReadOnly 3
    # For devices with outlet users only
    VALUE APC-Service-Type Outlet 4
    I have added the attributes in blue(attached), how do I add the VALUE's (shown red) in ACS 5.2? What else should I do to get this working?
    The hit count on the ACS shows that it is getting authentication request from the APC appliance.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    I am working on the same issue and i manage to login (using Ldap A/D backend authentication). When using the standard Radius attribute Service-Type (1 for read-only and 6 for admin) i manage to get this working. I am however trying to use the APC VSAs (as above) without any success. The objective is to have outlet management for specific users, admin or read-only others. Did u manage to get this working and how?

  • Import Steel Belted Radius users to ACS

    Is there a method to import SBR (local) users into ACS?  Perhaps via some intermediate tool?  The SBR exports will contain one-way-hashed passwords, so the question is really whether there is any method to import ACS users with these?

    Hi Tarik
    That's very helpful, but one problem is that the authenticating devices are specialised hardware on which the users cannot change their passwords - it has to be done by local administration staff who have the necessary tools.  So the question is whether there is any mechanism to use an exported file from Steel Belted Radius, including hashed passwords, which can be imported into ACS?
    The passwords are stored directly in the SBR server.  I've just had a look at what it's capable of exporting, and it seems I can get the data out in XML format, which I can then manipulate, of course.  However, the issue is that the passwords are not exported in plain text.  If the password is stored as a hash on the SBR server, you get an MD5 hash in the XML file.  If it is stored in "plain text" in the SBR server then the XML export shows the password in encrypted form. 

  • How to configure Radius failover in ACS 5.1

    Hi,
    I need to configure the ACS 5.1 to meet the following requirement :-
    1. ACS 5.1 will point to a RSA SecurID as the first authentication mechanism for the validation of user credential
    2. In the event that RSA SecurID is not reachable, the ACS 5.1 shall point to its local user database.
    I had no problem configuring for Point (1), but I am not able to let it failover to the local user database.
    Can any expert out there advise on the configuration portion?
