ACS RADIUS Certificate Access Workflow

Hello Friends, I've been trying to deploy a ACS solution that includes Radius, connection with an AD database and Certificate-Based Access to the network but the documentation that I have found is very very vague and is getting a little bit complex for me to deploy it. I wonder if there's a guide or a better organize documentation about the diferent scenarios of configuration for the ACS solution. At least a workflow configuration document that has secuenced steps. Thanks in advance for your help.
PD: If any of you is involved with Cisco documentation I hope it serves as a suggestion and recommendation.
Atte. Jonás.

Hi Jonas,
Please take a look into this doc:
https://supportforums.cisco.com/docs/DOC-13545.
It is a step-by-step guide to configure ACS for dot1x, installing certs on the ACs and integration with AD.
Regarding the Certificate based authnetication, there you need to be more specific on what EAP type you intend to use.
HTH,
Tiago

Not able to install or generate acs server certificate

Hi,
I have one test set-up with one layer 3 switch and one autonomous AP 1131. I have configured one SSID and without any authentication and it was not able to connect successfully.
But now i want to try enable WPA2 enterprise ( Actually , after checking with the test set up , i am going to implement in live set-up where i have to configure WPA2 enterprise so that i would like to go for testing wpa2 enterprise not wpa2 personal ).
I have ACS server 3.0 trial version and installed on windows server 2000 and
on AP 1131 i have configured radius server commands
( aaa- new model and radius server host ... ip address ... key ..... shared secret ... password .. ).
I am confused with certificate which is required to install on acs server but i am not able to generate the certificate or not able to get the certificate from anywhere in acs server option.
how to generate acs server certificate in trial version 3.0 and after generating how to install in acs server and what about client ... will it be same certificate which i need to install in cllient PC's and if yes how to add in client pc's and if not , where will i get cllient certificate ,..
if i buy ACS software which i will be installed windows platform , i will get two certificate ,,,,,,,,, what about acs trial version software .... will i be able to get certificate .......
i am trying to refer so many documents but it could not help me ..
Your help will be appreciative.
Looking for proper information.

Hi,
Thanks for your response ....
obivously , This ACS 3.0 is end of supprt but when i tried to install the acs 4.0 or later , I am not getting an error saying " basic platform should be installed first , that is ACS 3.0 ".
That is the reason i have gone for this edition .
Should i go for upgrading the acs 3.0 to 4.1 or later version ?
if so , will it be possible on trail version ?
please give me your suggestion.

FWSM user and administrator multi-contexts authentication under ACS radius

Hi,
Im preparing the setup of an ACS radius server for FWSM-related authentication operations.
FWSMs will be in release 2.2, inserted in Catalyst 6500 (MSFC IOS), in routed mode, in multi-switch active / standby setup, with multiple contexts configured.
User and administrator access management will be performed thanks to a radius ACS server.
I intend to install ACS onto an armored windows 2000 server SP4 , using a local database.
PDM 4.0 is needed in order to manage multiple-contexts on FWSMs.
Are there any points I should be aware about such a configuration, especially regarding the user and administrator authentication access management setup ?
The fact is that administrators will have to be defined and restricted to their own context, without privileges onto other contexts. Do you have feedback about such a setup or relevant information to point to me ?
Many thanks in advance for your attention.
Best regards,
Arnaud

Each of the contexts will behave like individual firewalls for your purposes here. So, they each get a AAA config, and you could put them into their own groups for access control. Protect the Admin context especially well, it controls system resources for the others. Depending on how many FWSMs you have, you may want to look into the Pix MC, which is similar to PDM, but works for multiple FWSMs. It is a part of CiscoWorks VMS.

Migrate WPA2 to ACS RADIUS

Hello Guys Again me I hope you can help me as well
I'm working with five SSID's they're using WPA2 with PSK, I wanto to migrate to 802.1x Authentication so I'm goin to set a ACS RADIUS.
I have some remote offices and they're working with WPA2 and PSK
My questions is what happen if I migrate this SSID's to 802.1x, my remote users are will available to join at one SSID? And what happen if my RADIUS goes down? Right now if my WLC goes down my remote AP still work and accept new clients. But if change this authentication method.. they will working as now?
And what happen with my local user if my RADIUS goes down?
Thank you everyone

Dear Scott as Well I really Aprecciate your help and Abhishek
One more questions I'm really concern about this migration, right now I have a WLC 4402 with 1131AG AP's this AP's has an IOS version 12.4 (3g) JA and the AP's are working as LWAPP. I founf on cisco page this Matrix.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/controller/5500/tech_notes/Wireless_Software_Compatibility_Matrix.html
My news 5508 have 7.2.103 version, that matix says I need as minimun 12.4 (25e)JA So... I'm not sure if I need to upgrade the IOS version to my AP's.
I was reading the 7.2 configuration text for 5508 and in some part of the tex say this
The WGB can be any autonomous access point that supports the workgroup bridge mode and is running Cisco IOS Release 12.4(3g)JA or later releases (on 32-MB access points) or Cisco IOS Release 12.3(8)JEB or later releases (on 16-MB access points). These access points include the AP1120, AP1121, AP1130, AP1231, AP1240, and AP1310. Cisco IOS releases prior to 12.4(3g)JA and 12.3(8)JEB are not supported.
I know is talking about WGB, but I can read between the lines that the version of IOS12.4 (3g) JA of AP should no problem joining the new controller?
This part of the document make me guess I don't have to do anything.
Thanks!!

SharePoint Designer 2013 cannot access workflows in Office 365 Site

I have an Office 365 SharePoint site with a number of workflows that I have created on my machine with SPD 2013. After a number of weeks I was unable to access the workflows from my machine through SPD (while still being able to access pages, site assets
etc.), getting the following error: (Am restricted from submitting images)
"Server-side activities have been updated. You need to restart SharePoint Designer to use the updated version of activities"
Restarting SPD doesn't help, after clicking OK I get the "SharePoint Designer cannot display the item" screen, prompting me to refresh.
When I do refresh, I get the following:
"Windows Workflow Foundation, part of .Net Framework 3.0, must be installed to use this feature"
This is happening on my machine, Windows 7 64 Bit, SPD 2013 64 Bit, but on a colleague's machine, Win 7 64 Bit, SPD 2013 64 Bit I can access the workflows.
I get the same error if I try to create a new Workflow on my machine but I can create it on my colleague's machine.
I downloaded SPD 2013 on a 32 bit laptop I have access to, in which I can create a workflow. One existing workflow can be accessed, updated etc. with no issue, one opens to a prompt to "Insert a stage" and one tells me that it "Failed to load
the workflow definition for the workflow", then the "SharePoint Designer cannot display the item" screen. All of these workflows can be accessed from my colleague's machine.
Here are the actions that I have taken to date on my own machine:
Cleared the caches multiple times
Checked for updates
Installed .Net Framework 4.5
Re-installed .Net Framework 4.0 (which contains 3.0)
Uninstalled and re-installed SPD 2013
Due to issues with a workflow on the site I am in contact with MS Support who are aware of this issue, they sent me a link to a hot fix that was already installed but they have no concrete idea of what might be going on.
I was convinced that it was an issue on my machine, but I don't know what the issues that I have seen on the 32 bit SPD on the new laptop mean.
I have been searching the internet for a fix with no success, I would appreciate any help.
Thanks
Mick

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that SharePoint Designer 2013 cannot access workflows in Office 365 Site.
There was an issue recently when a service release was implemented that incremented the version number in the HTML header on some SharePoint online sites to '16' when SPD was expecting '15'.
I suggest to install internet explore 10 and install a patch for IE10. Then test with "open with windows explore" then opened in SPD from sharepoint online.
In addition, I suggest that in SPD go to Account > Switch Account and type in the credentials of the site you are trying to open (it defaults to your Microsoft Login).
If the issue persists, to troubleshoot this issue, you can uninstall all versions of SharePoint Designer on workstation, clear cache and then reinstalling the latest SharePoint Designer. For the detailed information, you can refer to the

How can we access workflow status column out of the box (OOTB).

I have a problem that few of the workflows in production are failed at last stage have status set to "Workflow Errored". Someway I have fixed issue with workflow but I need to modify this status.
I tried adding a custom column and access workflow status column so that I can modify custom column as I want, and show this in views.
But I can't access this without using code, anybody has any idea?
My task is to modify workflow status which are errored out.

You can rerun the workflow once you've fixed it up. This'll change the status to something more successful.

Error 403 when accessing workflow manager page after install

Hey,
I'm in the process of setting up a new workflow manager farm for my SP2013 environment.
At the moment I'm setting up the stage WFM farm which consists of only one dedicated server (meaning not running on a SP server). My live WFM farm will be made of 3 servers.
I've followed Harbar's guide located here:
http://www.harbar.net/articles/wfm2.aspx, and all was successfull until I tried to access the workflow page on
https://myserver.domain.com:12290 and got a 403.
I've checked that the Workflow Manager Backend, Windows Fabric Host Service, Service Bus Gateway and Service Bus Broker services are running.
Get-WFFarmStatus is also showing me everything running. In IIS, app pool and site are started.
I've tried ti access https://myserver.domain.com:12290 from the WFM machine, from a SP server and from my own laptop, same issue, I always get a 403.
Would you know how to troubleshoot this?
Thanks in advance and have a nice day

Hi Fluidetom,
From your description, my understanding is that you got 403 error when you accessed workflow manager site.
Please run IE as an administrator(right-click IE ->run as administrator) on the WFM server, compare the result.
Please run the commands to check the workflow service account:
$Farm = Get-WFfarm
$Farm.AdminGroup
Make sure the account has local access to the server.

How to access Workflow variables in Form Designer?

Hello,
I am wanting to set certain subforms to readonly depending on which part of the workflow the form is currently on. I already have the JavaScript code working to set the subform fields to readonly, but now I cannot figure out how to trigger this and where do I keep a variable to keep track of which part of the workflow I am currently in.
I assume I will have a variable in the workflow itself and then I can use the Set Value QPAC to change the variable for each workflow step before it goes to the User QPAC, but what about within the form? I don't understand how the form javascript will know to execute, so how does my workflow "talk" to the form to set these fields to readonly?
Right now the JavaScript code is sitting in the root::initialize part of the form. I was assuming I could have something like "if my workflow variable is equal to XX then set this subform to read only". But, how do I access my workflow variable in the form designer?
Also, since I have digital signatures, I am having to pass all the form data in document variables, will this affect how I need to do this? I was also thinking of possibly accessing/setting a hidden field in the form, but thought the above way may be better.
I hope that made sense!
Thank you,
Jennifer

To follow-up, I spoke with Adobe support this morning and they said that I cannot access Workflow variables within Designer (besides those Workflow variables that are already provided).
He mentioned that if I use the hidden fields, that I would need to Render the form each time before going to the User to trigger this to happen. So, I am not sure what I will do just yet. I probably not worry about making the fields readonly for the time being; it was a little extra thought I had and isn't required for our process.
Thank you,
Jennifer

Radius certificate

Is there a method for adding a radius certificate without using profile manager?
I used to under System Preferences:Network:802.1x be able to hit a plus sign and add a system or login cert.
Plus button is gone
Thanks,
Ben

I don't know that OD would help, I have od set-up and radius working on my 10.6 clients to our new lion server as was. I can't get brand new lion clients to work. Worse yet upgraded lion clients work fine.
Another admin set-up a wifi network profile to use with the profile manager. It has the wrong settings and I can't seem to figure out how to remove the erroneous wifi network.

ACS Radius + Peap + MSChapV2

I am using a wireless setup
Aironet 1100, ACS 4.0, 3rd party Client adapter
I am able to connect to my wireless network by keying in username&pass created on the ACS user setup. Also by using a self signed certificate from the ACS.
Doubts: In ACS logs - Radius accounting is empty.
Failed attempts.csv shows "Authen failed, EAP-TLS or PEAP authentication failed during SSL handshake"
But i am able to authenticate my users successfully into the wireless network. What went wrong?

Hi
Try enabling the Passed Authentications report and see whats in there. It could be that the failure is perhaps purely transient and rectified by a subsequent attempt.
For example a re-key authentication requires SSL state on the ACS, it could be that the supplicant and ACS have to revert to performing a full authentication.
Im guessing but it is entirely possible to have entries in the failed attempts and still get access.

Replace Radius Certificate, best way?

Hi
We currently have a deployment of a WCS, two WiSMs, some 80 APs and around 1000 Clients. They authenticate with WPA2-PEAP against two Cisco ACS Servers. The ACS have valid server certificates. The Clients use all available operating systems on the market.
I need now to replace the ACS servers with new Windows Radius servers. The new Radius servers also use new certificates from a different reseller. My tests with a test SSID have shown that I need to delete and recreate the connection profile in Windows 7, to be able to connect after the Radius change.
Any good way on how to achieve the exchange, without making to much work on the client side?
The clients are all private machines (education), so we can't really deploy anything on them.
Thanks,
pato

The servers have new hostnames, so the Certs would be probably not anymore valid.
If you add the Wlan to Windows7 by selecting it and click connect, it will automatically put the Validate Option on.
I guess I won't come around to inform the users to delete and recreate the connection.

ACS 5.4 Access Policies Problem

Hi Gents,
I've been trying to troubleshoot this for a long time but I'm out of ideas now. here is the topo. I've got a Cisco ACS 5.4 VM used for Radius Network Authentication with a Cisco WLC 7.0, I've done the initial setup and all the rules, everything was working perfectly so far. now i'm trying to add more Access Rules (Identity/Authorization), it seem ok in the GUI interface and it is saving the configuration even if I reboot the Appliance, however when I check the Monitoring and Report log the new rules are not matching. I will attach some print screen for that.
in the identity part there is a rule matching users that attribute Radius_IETF Username start with "g_" without quotes to identify them with local database. "JV1\" to identify them using Active Directory (this is the old rule that was working) the Default is Deny Access
in the authorisations, for the users that attribute Username start with "g_" they got a service policy X and for the "JV1\" they get a service policy Y.
the new users added in the local database (starting with "g_") are matching in the identity store but in the authorisation they hit the default rule which is deny access. the only condition in the authorisation is to be part of the identity group "Wireless Users".
I've had this issue with ACS 5.2 in the past and I used to delete the rule than create it back again but it doesn't seem to be working for the version 5.4
thanks & regards,
Habib

I ran into this issue as well on my ACS 5.4 and never found a bug that matched. I ended up installing the latest patch and I havent had any issues since.
Thanks,

ASA to ACS Radius - restrict by group

Hi Everyone, this may not be the correct forum for this, but since it relates to the ASA...
So we currently use RADIUS to authenticate users accessing our AnyConnect access... the thing is, with everything working, we want to restrict the access to only members of a specified AD group, "VPN Users".
So, I'm trying to figure out whether that restriction goes into the RADIUS on ACS or whether there is a setting in the ASA to restrict it...
Can someone point me in the right direction? (And no, I don't want to change to LDAP authentication).
Ken

I guess this should be possible with a feature called NAP,( network access profiles). Here you can define which database to use for any specific request. We can filter request on the basis of attributes sent in the authentication request.
