ACS EAP-TLS

Hello Experts...
i have a problem when using ACS 5.1 with AP1141 through EAP-TLS authentication method.
when i try to connect my laptop , it's authenticated sucessfully , but when i try to authenticate third party Black Box using EAP-TLS , i have an authentication failure ( 12511 Unexpectedly received TLS alert message; treating as a rejection by the client ).
when i check the debug report at the ACS , i found that the authentication method when i use my laptop is x509_PKI  , and it's successfully , but when i use the 3rd party devise , the authentication method in the radius log report is EAP-TLS , and it's failed.
so is there any different between the x509_PKI  and EAP-TLS , if yes , how could i check EAP-TLS.
reyad

hello,,,
i do confirm that , the 3rd Party already trust the AAA CA , and the AAA trust the 3rd Party CA.
when i use Cisco 4.1 Radius , the client is connected without any problem.
to clarify the status , this client accept only eap-tls authentication method ,so the only changes which i did on the 4.1 radius , is go to system configuration , global authentication setup , and enable the eap-tls only...and change the AP EAP request timeout to 0
and this what i did also in ACS5.1
any suggestions

  • EAP-TLS Certificate Key Size

    Hi,
    I'm in the process of setting up EAP-TLS authentication in my network. I have installed 2048 bit certificates on my ACS server and Client. When attempting to authenticate I receive the following message in ACS: EAP-TLS or PEAP authentication failed during SSL handshake.   
    Is anyone using 2048 bit certs or know if they work? Any suggestions what else might be causing the authentication failure?
    Thanks,              

    2048 bit is the standard these days. I have used 2048 bit with both PEAP and EAP-TLS with no issues. The error might be the shared secret between ACS and the WLC.

  • ACS 5.3, EAP-TLS Machine Authentication with Active Directory

    I have ACS 5.3. I am testing EAP-TLS Machine Authentication using Active Directory as an external Identity Store. II was testing and everything was going fine until I did some failure testing.
    My problem: I deleted my computer account out of Active Directory and tried to authenticate my wireless laptop and it still worked when it should have failed.
    Here is some of the output of the ACS log. You can see that the computer could not be found in AD and this was returned to the ACS. However, ACS still went ahead and authenticated the computer successfully.
    Evaluating Identity Policy

    I was assuming that if the computer was not found, the Identity Policy would fail, so I did not configure any authorization policy. Do I need an authorization policy to tell the ACS to fail the authentication if the machine cannot be found in AD? If I need an authorization policy, how do I configure it?
    Note: In my Identity Store Sequence, I did enable the option:
    For Attribute Retrieval only:
    If internal user/host not found or disabled then exit sequence and treat as "User Not Found"
    but this only seems to work for internal identity stores (at least based on my testing)
    Under my Access Policy Identity tab, I configured the following Advanced features:
    Advanced Options
    If authentication failed
    RejectDropContinue
    If user not found
    RejectDropContinue
    If process failed
    RejectDropContinue
    And that didn't do anything either.
    Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

    Can try the following. Define an attribute to be retrieved from Active Directory and that exists for all objects. When defining the attribute it can be given a default value. Assign a default value which is a value that will never be returned for a real machine entry (eg "DEFAULTVALUE") and give it a "Policy Condition Name"
    Then can make a rule in the authorization policy such as
    If "Policy Condition Name" equals "DEFAULTVALUE" then "DenyAccess"

  • ACS 4.0 EAP-TLS Cert not working

    Hey,
    so i generated my certificate signing request, took it to my CA, got a cert. From "ACS Certification Authority Setup" i installed it onto my ACS appliance, then from "Install ACS Certificate" installed it (it prepopulated the privkey and password so i assume it got that from the cert file). I then add the CA from the "Edit Certificate Trust List". All this goes off without a hitch.
    However when i try to add the "Certificate Revocation List" I am unable to add both LDAP:\\\ and http://. I have confirmed that the http:// is working on the CA, and every indication is that the ldap is working too but i don't know of the tools to test that with.
    When i go into "System Configuration"->"Global Authentication Setup"->"Allow EAP-TLS" i get the following error.
    Failed to initialize PEAP or EAP-TLS authentication protocol because CA certificate is not installed. Install the CA certificate using "ACS Certification Authority Setup" page.
    What exactly is not installed about the Certificate? it's on the ACS server, it's configured and the date range is correct.
    I've been banging my head against this all day and could use some suggestions. :)

    Ok, i now understand it a little better. I needed to install 2 certificates. the first being the Root CA's certificate in the "ACS Certification Authority Setup" section (i mistakenly thought this was simply where i download my generated cert for the next spot.
    The second cert is the one i generated using "Generate Certificate Signing Request", i then took that to my Root CA, generated a cert and installed that along with the private key under "Install ACS Certificate".
    Thanks for pointing me in the right direction since the error i was getting wasnt helpful to me.

  • Cisco ACS with External DB - EAP-TLS

    Hi Guys,
    I understand how the EAP-TLS exchange works (I think), but If I have a client (wireless or wired) that is using EAP-TLS with an ACS, can I confirm the following.
    Let say both user and computer certs are employed:
    1. Both Client and ACS perform check with each others certs to ensure they are know to each other. The eap-tls exchange.
    2a. At some stage and I am assuming before the eap-tls success message is sent back to the client, the ACS has to check if either the username or computer name is in the AD database?
    2b. Wot is the paramater that is checked against the AD database?
    I read here that it can be : http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/cisco_secure_access_control_server_for_windows/4.1/configuration/guide/peap_tls.html#wp999517
    Client Certificates
    Client Certificates are used to positively identify the user in EAP-TLS. They have no role in building the TLS tunnel and are not used for encryption. Positive identification is accomplished by one of three means:
    CN (or Name)Comparison-Compares the CN in the certificate with the username in the database. More information on this comparison type is included in the description of the Subject field of the certificate.
    SAN Comparison-Compares the SAN in the certificate with the username in the database. This is only supported as of ACS 3.2. More information on this comparison type is included in the description of the Subject Alternative Name field of the certificate.
    Binary Comparison-Compares the certificate with a binary copy of the certificate stored in the database (only AD and LDAP can do this). If you use certificate binary comparison, you must store the user certificate in a binary format. Also, for generic LDAP and Active Directory, the attribute that stores the certificate must be the standard LDAP attribute named "usercertificate".
    3. With the above, if options 1 or 2 are used (CN or SAN comparison), I assume this is just a check between a value pulled out of the CERT by the ACS and checked with AD, is that correct? With option 3, does the ACS perform a full compaison of the certificate between what the client has and a "client stored cert" on the AD DB?
    Please can someone help me with these points.
    I am so lost in this stuff :)) I think.
    Many thx and many kind regards,
    Ken

  • EAP-TLS - ACS - Machine Certificates

    Hi,
    I've enabled EAP-TLS machine authentication on my ACS 4.2 server as per the following document: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/cisco_secure_access_control_server_for_windows/4.2/user/guide/UsrDb.html#wp354195.  I currently have user authentication working using a user certificate on my laptop. I want to enable machine authentication for my windows domain.
    Which is the best ACS option to choose for machine certificate comparison:
    - Certificate Subject AlternativeName
    - Certificate Common Name
    - Certificate Binary
    Is there a guide to use for setting up machine certificate templates for Windows Clients?
    Thanks,

    CN (or Name)Comparison—Compares the CN in the           certificate with the username in the database. More information on  this           comparison type is included in the description of the Subject field of  the           certificate.

  • Authentication eap-tls on ACS or local EAP WLC over Lwapp and 7921

    Hi All,
    I install WLC to provide Wlan architecture and the project was extended for VoWLAN. we have 7921 and E51 running over the wide WLAN architecture.
    Computer using Data over wirless are working over PEAP done by ACS and CA signed certificate + user secret on PC is link to the domain account and secret stay the login and password. Our problem is that user and password is link via ACS to Active Directory. The policy of password is to change frequently.
    For the Phone we are actually running authentication over Leap but I'm working to define the best security solution for us.
    I confront PEAP and Eap-TLS for now:
    1) PEAP check the authentication of ACS via certificate trust and authenticate via MS-Chapv2 and the secret password known by user. My problem here is the phone can only be static what is potentially not acceptable
    2) Eap-tls which is the best secured security due to the double side certificate authentication + (login / password) on the phone
    so I need to manage here Certificate Management ? I mean I can use either the MIC CA certificate on the phone or User CA defined one which I can put on ACS or Local EAP WLC and the put the ACS CA trust on the Phone.
    If I understood well I have to put User.cer and ACS_CA.cer on each phone and pout the User_CA on the ACS ?
    I have already Certificate on the ACS signed by CA (like veri-signed) so I must create CSR for any phones to be able to use the same CA ?
    I'm thinking to use also the local Eap certificate of Controller to manage all of that to avoid every potential money to pay to the trust CA of ACS
    can you help me to know if I understood everything good ? I would be please to exchange experience on that
    thanks ;)
    bye

    I am currently using EAP-TLS authentication on my wireless users using ACS 3.2. I have had that problem before. This is what I did...
    Setup a Microsoft Certificate server as my
    CA. You can use same machine wih your ACS and CA.
    Then, generate certificate signing request from ACS then request a server certificate from CA then copy and install a certificate to ACS. On the ACS, go to global authentication setup check the EAP-TLS cetificate. If it failed to respond means that the server certificate is not properly setup.
    On the windows xp clients, connect your machine using wired LAN, then request a certificate from CA(the same CA that you have use to your ACS) using IE (ex. http://CAip/certsrv), but this time request a client certificate. The name you should put when requesting the cert must be you local windows user, use 1024, choose microsoft base cryptographic provider 1.0. then installl the certificate on the client. Verify you client certificate it i was installed properly.
    At that poit you should be able to connect you r wireless client using EAP-TLS.

  • EAP-TLS Authentication failure happening in ACS for Wireless End User Authentication

    Hi All,
    We have the Win 3.2 ACS setup in the production environment, We are migrating it with 4.2 Appliance version. We have succesfully migrated the database and other stuffs from 3.2 to 4.2. Same way we have exported the certificates from 3.2 to 4.2 and installed it.
    We have the leap as well as eap-tls in the authentication part.
    We were able to test successfully with the leap. But when it comes to eap-tls. In 4.2 version its throwing the error.

    Hi,
    Looks like the CA Cert is not installed on the ACS.
    The following link will help you install the CA cert.

  • ACS 5.2 / WLC - EAP-TLS Certificate from 2 CA

    Hello,
    I'm Newbie with ACS equipment, i'm trying to implement it to secure our WIFI environment.
    One wifi SSID is broadcasted on a site, I would like to authenticate WIFI client through machine certificate.
    The big deal is that some client computer belong to an AD (AD1) and having its own CA1. Other client computer belong to another AD (AD2) also having its own CA (CA2). (With no relation or between the 2 CA)
    So computer1 having machine certificate from CA1 and computer2 having machine certificate from CA2
    I have imported the root certificate from the both CA into the "certificate authorities" store of the ACS.
    I have generated certificate signing request, one for each CA. Then I have binding the CA signed certificate.
    After configuring... the access services (identity, authorization...) and so on  I have the following issue:
    - Computer with certificate from the CA1 can connect without any problem.
    - Computer with certificate from the CA2 can NOT connect:
         - After investigation: the client computer do not trust the server ACS and reject the connection
         - Error return :
    RADIUS Status:Authentication failed 11514 Unexpectedly received empty TLS message; treating as a rejection by the client
         - (If i get ridd of the option "verify server identity" on wifi optionof the client, the computer can conect: but this option is not acceptable)
         - It seems that the ACS sends only its certificate signed by the CA1
    The questions are:
    1- How can I configure the ACS to send the right certificate signed by the right CA corresponding to the computer that is intenting to authenticate
    2- I could see in documentation:
        "For TLS related EAP protocols, a single local certificate is used to authenticate the server for all the TLS related protocol"
         --> Does it mean that we can only configure one local certificate to allow the ACS to authenticate to client for all the EAP-TLS protocol used ?
         --> How can I choose it ?
         --> For the current configuration, I have only the certificate signed by the CA which is configure "EAP: Used for EAP protocols that use SSL/TLS tunneling" (i don't know if this option has an impact with the certificate presented by the ACS when it authenticate itself to the client")
    Thanks for your helk and your information.
    Guillaume

    Hi Bastien,
    it is actually what i did.
    The point here i have 2 CA involved, with no relation between them.
    So I did the operation twice for each CA :
    -> making a certificate signing request, sent it to the CA, signed to by the CA and then imported/binded into the ACS
    -> I have added the root CA of each CA into the ACS as well.
    The point is when a computer, try to connect, it try to verify ACS server identity. And the ACS server only seems to present the certificate signed from CA1.
    So when a computer with certificate machine CA2, try to connect, it doesn't trust the ACS server has the ACS sent its certificate signed by CA1.
    I don't know how to allow the ACS to present the right signed certificated depending on the cleint that try to connect.
    Then another conf I do not understand is the option:
    EAP: Used for EAP protocols that use SSL/TLS tunneling --> in local cetificate, when you add a local certificate to the ACS
    I do not undestand what does this option stand for ?
    Then I culd see into Cisco do :
        "For TLS related EAP protocols, a single local certificate is used to authenticate the server for all the TLS related protocol"
    Doest it means that the ACS can use only one single certificate for All the TLS protocol configured in the ACS, to authenticate itself to the client?
    Or does the ACS can use a diferent local certificate from each dedicated eap-tls protocol?
    thx

  • Authentication failed using EAP-TLS and CSSC against ACS

    Hi.
    Playing with a trial version of CSSC (Cisco secure services client) I had a problem that really I don´t understand.
    Any 802.1x configuration work fine but when I use anything involving the use of certificates (EAP-TLS or PEAP using a certificate instead a password to autenticate) I always see the same log message in ACS:
    "Authen session timed out: Challenge not provided by client" It seems that my client supplicant does not repond to the ACS when the first one proposed an EAP method.
    First I discart a certificate error because the same certificate works fine with Intel Proset Wireless supplicant and Windows Zero Configuration. EAP Fast works fine using auto provisioning or manual provisioning.
    Any idea? I red the CSSC administration guide but I did not find anything that explains this behaviour or defines the right configuration for this EAP method.
    I´m using Windows XP SP3, Intel Wireless 4965AGN and CSSC 5.1.1.18; My CA is a Windows CA.ACS version 4.2
    Thanks in advanced.
    Best regards.

    Today is not mmy day.
    It´s still failing and maybe I will open a TAC case.
    I´m looking at the log file of the CSSC and I don´t like what I have seen.

    It seems that It found a valid certificate, starts the Authentication proccess and when it must request the ACS challenge it fails when loading the private key and crash the supplicant 
    Do you think the same??
    Thanks.

  • EAP-TLS on ACS v4 for wireless users

    Hi,
    I?m trying to deploy EAP-TLS authentication method on ACS v4.0 for my local wireless users; really I stuck with the certificate issue and need your assistance to understand the required procedures to accomplish the task.
    As mentioned on the ACS configuration guide I have to have CA server to generate certificates for both ACS and wireless users, but I found an option on the ACS under System configuration tab then ACS Certificate Setup a Generate Self-Signed Certificate, I generated a certificate and uploaded a copy to my PC, installed and followed the recommended steps to configure the Microsoft XP client configuration but still I got the error ?Windows was unable to find a certificate to log you on to the network SSID? . Honestly I don?t know if this is possible but I gave it a try but failed.
    Kindly advice what is the appropriate and easiest way to accomplish the task, if you could provide me with helpful documents I?ll appreciate it.
    Regards,
    Belal

    I am currently using EAP-TLS authentication on my wireless users using ACS 3.2. I have had that problem before. This is what I did...
    Setup a Microsoft Certificate server as my
    CA. You can use same machine wih your ACS and CA.
    Then, generate certificate signing request from ACS then request a server certificate from CA then copy and install a certificate to ACS. On the ACS, go to global authentication setup check the EAP-TLS cetificate. If it failed to respond means that the server certificate is not properly setup.
    On the windows xp clients, connect your machine using wired LAN, then request a certificate from CA(the same CA that you have use to your ACS) using IE (ex. http://CAip/certsrv), but this time request a client certificate. The name you should put when requesting the cert must be you local windows user, use 1024, choose microsoft base cryptographic provider 1.0. then installl the certificate on the client. Verify you client certificate it i was installed properly.
    At that poit you should be able to connect you r wireless client using EAP-TLS.

  • ACS 4.2 and EAP-TLS with AD and prefix problem

    Hi there
    we have the following situation:
    - 2 x ACS (1 x ACS SE 4.2 and 1 x ACS 4.2) for domain A
    - 2 x ACS (1 x ACS SE 4.2 and 1 x ACS 4.2) for domain B
    First of all, is it a problem to have an ACS SE and an ACS working together for one domain, I don't think so? When we had only one domain and both ACS SE were responsible for domain A, it worked.
    Now after the changes, machine authentication with EAP-TLS doesn't work anymore. In the logs it always says that the "External DB user is unknown" for a (machine) username like host/abc.domain.ch
    This is the normal output of the Remote Agent, it finds the host but then nothing happens:

    It's clear that the test was not successful because of the wrong "machine password" but it's a different output as before. I saw that in ACS 4.1 you could change the prefix of /host to nothing, but in 4.2 this is not possible anymore.
    Could this be the problem or does someone see any other problem?
    Best Regards
    Dominic

    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 ;-)
    Regards
    Dominic

    I have a large customer that is moving into a new building and adding some
    new wireless.
    They are using a 5508 with 1142's and an ACS server.
    They will have the following SSID's
    SSID01 -> WPA-EAP-TLS
    SSID02 -> WPA2-EAP-TLS (future use)
    SSID03 -> Guest Access (internet access only)
    They currently use this design across the enterprise which has worked well.
    The problem is to get certificates pushed down to the client for the EAP-TLS
    they always connect the machine once by wire and log on to the domain so a
    GPO pushes the cert to the machine.
    This creates a problem that I don't know how to solve as they want to use
    iPhones on the new deployment.
    Does anyone have any ideas on how to get a cert down to the iPhones for use
    with the SSID's?
    Thanks in advance for any assistance.

    I don't think we can push certs from windows server to iphones . Probably set up a webpage say a accessible from a different ssid  from which clients can download and install cert. ?

  • EAP-TLS Vista Machine Authentication to ACS integrated to non AD LDAP

    Hello all,
    I've been working on a scenario with ACS 4.2 (trial) for Proof of Concept to a customer of ACS's abilities.
    His intended network plan is to use Vista Laptops doing Machine authentication only towards a ACS server integrated with a non-microsoft LDAP server. The mechanism of choice is EAP-TLS.
    We've set up the PKI on the right places and it is all up. We do manage to get a user certificate on the PC, authenticate via ACS to the LDAP repository, and everything is good.
    The problem that we are facing is when we want to move to do machine authentication, the behaviour is inconsistent. I'll explain:
    When the first authentication is done, the EAP-Identity requests are always prepended with a "host/". What we see is that the CN of a certificate is TEST, and the Identity request appears as host/TEST. This is no problem to LDAP, as we can get rid of the "host/" part to do the user matching and in fact it does match. After TLS handshake (certificates are ok), ACS tries to check CSDB (the internal ACS db) and afterwards it will follow the unknown user policy and query LDAP.
    All of this appears to be successful the first time.
    If we disassociate the machine, the problems start. The accounting STOP message is never sent.
    Any new authentication will fail with a message that CS user is invalid. The AUTH log shows that ACS will never try again to check LDAP, and invalidates the user right after CSDB check. In fact if we do see the reports for RADIUS, the authenticated user is host/TEST, but if we check the dynamic users, only TEST appears. Even disabling caching for dynamic users the problem remains.
    Does anyone have an idea on how to proceed? If it was possible to handle the machine authentication without the "host/" part, that would be great, as it works.
    My guess is that ACS is getting confused with the host/, as I'm seeing its AUTH logs and I do see some messages like UDB_HOST_DB_FAILURE, after UDB_USER_INVALID.
    IF someone can give me a pointer on how to make this work, or if I'm hitting a bug in ACS.
    Thanks
    Gustavo

    Assuming you're using the stock XP wifi client.
    When running XPSP3, you need to set two things:
    1) force one registry setting.
    According to
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc755892%28WS.10%29.aspx#w2k3tr_wir_tools_uzps
    You need to force usage of machine cert-store certificate:
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\EAPOL\Parameters\General\Global]
    "AuthMode"=dword:00000002
    2) add the ACS certificate signing CA to the specific SSID profile "trusted CA".
    - show available wireless networks
    - change advanced settings
    - wireless networks tab
    - select your SSID, and then hit the "properties" button
    - select authentication tab, and then hit "properties" button
    - search for your signing CA, and check the box.
    I did with a not-so-simple autoIT script, using the "native wifi functions" addon.
    Unfortunately I'm not allowed to share the script outside the company, but I'll be more than happy to review yours.
    please cross reference to
    https://supportforums.cisco.com/message/3280232
    for a better description of the whole setup.
