ACS to ISE
I learned today in my ACS 5.x course of an ISE module that would allow an ACS appliance 5.x that would convert, if that is the right word, the ACS appliance to ISE. Is this correct? is there more information about this?
You can upgrade Cisco ISE from a previous release or maintenance release to Release 1.2. You can also migrate from Cisco Secure Access Control System (ACS), Release 5.3, to Release 1.2.
You cannot migrate to Release 1.2 from Cisco Secure ACS 4.x or earlier versions, Cisco Secure ACS 5.1 or 5.2, or from Cisco Network Admission Control (NAC) Appliance.
You can directly migrate to Cisco ISE, Release 1.2 only from Cisco Secure ACS, Release 5.3. From Cisco Secure ACS, Releases 4.x, 5.1, and 5.2, you must upgrade to ACS, Release 5.3 and then migrate to Cisco ISE, Release 1.2.

Hi all
We are currently using ACS for wireless authentication. Guests register over an external Sharepoint webpage. The REST API is used to create and later delete these temporary users in ACS.
Now we want to migrate to ISE. In contrast to ACS, the ISE REST API seems to have no CRUD (Create, Read, Update and Delete) capabilities for Users. The ISE internal guest portal at the other hand we don't want to use.
Is there any other possibility to create Users in ISE from an external Application ?
Thanks ThomasHi Thomas,
Cisco ISE allows you to view, create, modify, duplicate, delete, change the status, import, export, or search for attributes of Cisco ISE users.
ISE also allows you to import user data in the form of a csv file into its internal database. Instead of entering user accounts manually into Cisco ISE, you can import them.
Following are the steps,
Step 1 Choose Administration > Identity Management > Identities > Users.
Step 2 Click Import to import users from a comma-delimited text file.
Tip (Optional) If you do not have a comma-delimited text file, click Generate a Template to create this type of file.
Step 3 In the File text box, enter the filename containing the users to import, or click Browse and navigate to the location where the file resides.
Step 4 Check the Create new user(s) and update existing user(s) with new data check boxes if you want to both create new users and update existing users.
Step 5 Click Save to save your changes to the Cisco ISE internal database.

Hi,
Im trying to migrate VPNS from ACS to ISE but i cannot quite get used to the ISE.
Below is a picture of my Authentication rule id like replicating on ISE but so far i have had no joy. Any points would be greatly received.
If the network source IP is trusted Rule 1 is hit and ISS is just use AD
If the network source IP is untrusted Rule 2 is hit and ISS is just use OTP Then AD
Im not 100% on the authorisation aspect either.
I think im want something along the lines of Ad:Group/x/x/x/x and TunnelGroup xxx = Permit/Apply ACL else Deny
I can pass authentiation from the ASA to ISE, one thing i have noticed in the aaa report, in the AV pairs the tunnel group name is not listed.
Many thanks in advance
SHi
FYI
Cisco Secure ACS and Cisco ISE exist on different hardware platforms and have different operating systems, databases, and information models. Therefore, you cannot perform a standard upgrade from Cisco Secure ACS to Cisco ISE. Instead, the Cisco Secure ACS to Cisco ISE Migration Tool reads data from Cisco Secure ACS and creates corresponding data in Cisco ISE.
For migrating the policies, and all other information, please visit the following link particularly the chapter 3,4,5:

Can i configure a network with ACS and ISE?
I have both acs and ise, how do i integrate these appliance to work togheter?
ThanksISE does not interoperate with Cisco Secure ACS deployments. The Cisco Identity Services Engine can work in tandem with Cisco NAC Manager to provide the same profiling service as the NAC Profiler, which has reached end-of-sale status.
Existing Cisco Secure ACS customers using network access can easily migrate to the Cisco Identity Services Engine platform using migration part numbers and tools. However, existing Cisco Secure ACS customers using TACACS functions will not be able to migrate to the current version of ISE for network device identity management which is often acceptable for customers who prefer to keep user and network identity on separate systems. -
What is required to replace ACS with ISE in simple terms?
I am looking to basically authenticate wired and wireless access against the local/AD) user database via Cisco kit
I am thinking all I need is the BASE (perpetual) license rather than the advanced/wireless licenses
Is there a limit to how many devices or users the base can deal with in its simplest form.
I would also like to be able to push out a splash screen for wireless users during authentication. Can this be done just with the ISE Base License alone for a wireless solution (via WLC with LWAPS or Autonomous APs)
thanks
daveyes you can authenticate the user using the ISE and but you need a advance license if you want to use both wire and wireless here is small table to help you understand the license requirements also the max. devices support depends on the type of deployment and with advance feature you have the abilitity of profiling and posturing which provide very good control for admins in the network

Has anyone successfully migrated from ACS to ISE especially with WLAN or WiFi users?
If you have, please share any information.I have done a few of those. I have never tried using the migration tool but instead have always created configurations from scratch. Basically, anything Radius related will migrate just fine. The one major thing that ISE won't support is TACACS+ but that is also coming in a future release. For more info check this doc:

Difference between ACS and ISE
What is the big difference between the ACS and the ISE? We just purchased an ACS server to start locking down ports on our switches and use the Radius functions to better secure our wireless environment. It has been ordered but not yet arrived. I had a discussion with management today about preventing the IPads / IPhones / Smartphones / etc. of the world from accessing the network. If the user knows the credentials for getting their laptop onto the network then they can use these same credentials to get their IPad on the network. How do we detect and prevent is the current question.
In discussing with others the ISE comes up. The questions now become what is the big difference between this and the ACS. Do they work together or independently since they both seem to have "radius on steroids". Can I configure the ACS to do the same functions? I figure this will have to be something on a MAC address level anyway. Oh and one other thing. My wireless infrastructure is not Cisco.
Off to continue the research path ....
BrentTo put it simply I usually say ACS = RADIUS, ISE = NAC.
ISE will do RADIUS functions as well as NAC functions. Eventually you'll probably see ACS go away and be simply replaced by ISE.
ISE will do posturizing and profiling of a device to see if it truly meets requirements to be on a certain VLAN. For your example if you were to my credentials on my own smart device I would have access. ISE could profile this device to see if it truly is a corporate owned device or not. If it wasn't ISE can switch the network that the device connects to, say a guest network.
ISE can also do captive web portals for wired/wireless guest access.
I wouldn't rely on any type of MAC address authentication as I can easily spoof that. -
Hi experts,
I'm looking into a network access control solution, and I have the following questions:
1- My understanding is that ACS assigns unauthorized assets to a guest vlan/zone, but what happens next if access to resources (such as internet) requires authentication? In other words, does an ACS-only solution imply manual guest access provisioning, as opposed to automatic provisioning with an overlay NAC Guest server?
2- Captive portal vs. Webauth: My understanding is that ACS alone does not provide a captive portal for guests. It only provides a webauth feature that is mainly a fallback authentication mechanism for employees/managed assets, not guests/unmanaged assets. Is this correct?
3- Finally, the Trustsec v2.00 document (http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/solutions/Enterprise/Security/TrustSec_2.0/trustsec_2.0_dig.pdf) mentions “Cisco TrustSec 2.0 adds support for Wireless user access. With Cisco TrustSec 2.0, Cisco ISE provides the same authentication methods regardless of user access methods, which could be from wired line or Wi-Fi connection”. Does this mean that ACS has limitations to support wireless connections?
Thank you,
-Mohamad.1. Wrong understanding. ACS does what you tell it to do. It can assign a guest vlan to unknown assets or assign whatever else you like.
What do you mean with an internet access requiring authentication ? If you think about a guest portal, i.e. a web page asking to enter credentials, then ACS doesn't do that, so you have to couple ACS with a Guest Server. That's a bit of a pity because the Guest Server is not a product that will evolve. ISE just do everything in 1.
2. ACS is not a captive portal correct. When you say "it provides a webauth feature that is fallback", it's wrong. ACS doesn't provide anything like that. The switches implement web authentication (or the wireless controllers) and ACS can authenticate the people using that, but ACS is just a radius server saying "yes/no" and giving privileges.
3.ACS has no limitations to support wireless in particular. What the paper says is that ISE provides a captive portal that will be the same for wired or wireless users.
Remember that with ACS, you need to use the captive portal of the switch and WLC or a nac guest server. So not unified. -

Is there any reason why we would need an ACS and ISE, as my understanding is the ISE alone would be sufficient?
We are looking to deploy a wireless network supporting a mixture of corperate device and BYOD.
Corperate users would be required to be Authenticated via AD which I believe the ISE can support.
Other users would be Authenticated via the ISE portal.
Kind Regards
StewartKeep in mind that ISE doesn't do TACACS+, so you can't use it for standard management access and command authorization of Cisco devices as with ACS.

Dear Folks,
I would like to know, what box would be perfect for wireless authentication. ACS or ISE ?
If i am not wrong , Isnt ISE = ACS + NAC + NAC Guest Server .
Regards,
SIDFor wireless authentication yes this is fine, for other services then ISE is what you need, and it is slated to have support for TACACS as well.
One more feature of ISE is that you can purchase base and advanced licenses in order to adjust the cost based on your deployment, if you need more features then all you do is purchase the license and configure those services.
You are right but you left off a few other products:
ISE = ACS = NAC + NGS + Nac profiler and collector as well.
Thanks,

Cisco ISE 1.3 MAB authentication.. switch drop packet
Hello All,
I have C3560 Software (C3560-IPSERVICESK9-M), Version 12.2(55)SE9, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1) switch..
and ISE 1.3 versoin..
MAB authentication is working perfectly at ISE end.. but while seeing the same at switch end.. I am seeing switch is droping packet on some ports..
while some ports are working perfectly..
Same switch configuration is working perfectly on another switch without any issue..
Switch configuration for your suggestion..!!

Judging by that line and what your policy says, it appears that your authentication was rejected as your machine was not authenticated prior to this connection.
first thing to check is whether MAR has been enabled on the identity source. second thing to check is whether your machine is set to send a certificate for authentication. there are other things you can look at but I'd do those two first.
log off and on or reboot and then see if you at least get a failed machine auth on the operations>authentication page and we can go from there. -
Set tunnel type = GRE in ISE v1.2?
Hi.
I have a setup with Aerohive AP's and ISE as radius-server.
To use User Profiles in Aerohive, I need ISE to send some information back to the Access point via an Authorization Profile, namely this:
Tunnel-Private-Group-ID=(4095)
Tunnel-Type=GRE
Tunnel-Medium-Type=IP
It's pretty straight forward to set it up, but as soon as I click save, and then goes back in to the profile, the Tunnel-type has changed to VLAN.
A quick look into the logs confirm that too:
Tunnel-Type
(tag=1) VLAN
Tunnel-Medium-Type
(tag=1) 802
Tunnel-Private-Group-ID
(tag=1) 4095
With the result that the User Profile assignment is not working.
I have used this in ACS v5 for years, and it works like a charm.
But now I looking to move from ACS to ISE, but I need this to be in working order first.
Any ideas?
Thank you.How did you go about setting the Authorization Profile?
If you go to Policy > Policy Elements > Results then choose Results > Authorization > Authorization Profiles from the menu on the left.
Click the +Add button
I created a tunnel with the name AEROHIVE_TUNNEL and the Access Type set to ACCESS_ACCEPT
Choose the DACL to which the policy should be applied and set the Advanced Attributes.
As you can see in the screenshot the Radius:Tunnel-Private-Group-ID = IdentityGroup:Name can be changed manually by deleting the word Name and replacing it with 4095:
You can also change the Tag ID:
Once you submit, you'll receive confirmation of the save. Leave that screen and go back in to confirm the Authorization Profile:

Windows 7 Supplicant Configuration - ISE PEAP w Machine Auth
Can anyone tell me the settings for the Windows 7 supplicant that works with ISE and PEAP using machine authentication? I have an authorization profile that permits the user login only after machine 'WasAuthenticated'. I have only found this to work by setting the Windows 7 supplicant up to use Single-Sign-On before Windows logon and to specify 'User or Machine' authentication. Then I'm only successful if I have both wired and wireless connected/on and I perform a logoff/reboot. Surely this isn't right. What if a user logs on without any connection with cached credentials and then wants to use wireless? Can't they just perform both machine and user auth over the wireless connection regardless of prior machine/auth states? I used the videos from LABMINUTES to configure the policies, but I don't need the ACLs for the WLAN controller because these are autonomous APs.
Regards,
ScottMicrosoft will send both and only cares if one passes. This is the same with radius. ACS and ISE allows you to check to see if the user was authenticated which happens initially on boot. After the initial machine auth, the windows machine will only send user creds. The was machine auth is a workaround to be able to do both. The issue is that when the timeout of the machine creds happen, the devices has to be rebooted. In Cisco Live 2012, they even suggested you don't do this due to not knowing when the cached credentials ACS or ISE will keep this info.

Cisco ISE log configuration commands enetered on routers
Hello,
I am trying to migrate from Cisco ACS to ISE.
I want to log configuration commands entered on routers.
I have configured the routers to send accounting radius to ISE but ISE sees the messages as:
"22003 Missing attribute for authentication
11014 RADIUS packet contains invalid attribute(s)"
Can I configure ISE to receive radius accounting messages ?
Is there another way to configure ISE to log configuration commands ?
Another way would be to send syslog messages using the archive configuration on routers, but I cannot find the syslog mesages on ISE.
Regards,
BogdanYou should post your question on the AAA forum
