Certificate Signing request on Wireless LAN controller

Does anyone know how to generate a Certificate Signing Request on 5508 controllers running 7.0.116??

it can't be done on the WLC itself, you need to have OpenSSL on a seperate device. Check the following link for a walk through

How to replace the certificate of Cisco 2106 wireless LAN controller for CAPWAP ?

I have interested in CAPWAP feature and I download the open capwap project to make Access Controller (AC) and Wireless Terminal Point (WTP). I had built the AC which used PC and WTP which used Atheros AP. The CAPWAP feature work well when I enabled the CAPWAP that used my own AC and WTP. When I got the Cisco 2106 wireless LAN controller (Cisco WLC), I configured the Cisco WLC to instead my own AC but I got the authorize fail in Cisco WLC side. It seem the Cisco WLC could not recognize the CAPWAP message which sent form my own WTP. I think this issue just need to synchronize the certificate between Cisco WLC and WTP.So I need to replace the Cisco WLC's certificate manually. Does anyone know how to replace the certificate manually with Cisco WLC ?

Alan

Error when installing webauth certificate virtual wireless LAN controller

Hi there
I am having issues installing web auth certificate for our virtual wirelesss LAN controller.
I am issuing a certificate from our own PKI in following format

AIR-CAP3501I access point not joining the Cisco 2100 Wireless Lan controller.

Hello All,
I am installing a new LAP (AIR-CAP3501I ) through the wireless lan controller (AIR-WLC2112-K9) with software version 7.0. I have an external ADSL modem which will act as the DHCP server for the wireless clients and the LAP.
Please find my network setup as below:
The ISP ADSL modem , WLC and LAP are connected to a unmanaged POE switch. The LAP gets its power through the POE switch. When i connect the LAP and the WLC to the switch along with the ADSL modem, the LAPs are getting the ip address from the ADSL modem, however they are not joining the WLC for further process.
ADSL Modem ip address: 192.168.1.254
Management ip address on the LAP: 192.168.1.1 ( Assigned to port 1, untagged Vlan).
Ap Manager ip address: 192.168.1.1 ( Assigned to the same port i.e port1, Untagged Vlan).
The LAP is getting an IP address from the ADSL modem in the range of the DHCP scope.
I will paste the logs very soon.
Please let me know if i am doing anything wrong oe what will be the issue.
Thanks in advance,

The Acess point joins the Controller for 2-3 seconds and then unjoins again. I am not sure what i am doing wrong here. The access points are getting the IPs from the ADSL modem through the switch, then it talks to the WLC, however it does not join the controller for further process.
Note:
The Managemnet interface and the AP manager interface are assigned to the same port 1 with unassigned Vlan as mention above.

Issues after changing the AP Name on Wireless LAN Controller

I recently changed the AP Name of all the Wireless Access Points in my branch office (which are all associated to the branch office Wireless LAN Controller(s)). After that I noticed that all branch office employees are unable to connect to the employee SSID. The employee SSID uses web authentication and employees are authenticated using Head Office AD via Cisco ACS, both located at the Head Office.
There are other SSID's on the WLC which all work fine, but only employee SSID which uses AD authentication does not work. AD authenticaion is working fine because employee's in HO are successfully able to connect to the employee SSID at HO.
The branch office is connected to the HO via a tunnel link. We noticed that if we restart both the ASA at either ends of the tunnel. The employee SSID starts working again but only temporarily for a day or so... what could be the issue? Can renaming the AP's cause issues? How can I fix this problem?
Thanks in advance

Thanks Elliott,
I did the debug like you said and I am getting the following debug messages:

How to create a certificate signing request that works with Microsoft CA

Hi, I have created a certificate signing request file with keytool. When I try to create a certificate from it with CertReq (I use a Microsoft CA) I get the following error message:
Certificate not issued (Denied) Denied by Policy Module The request does not contain a certificate template extension or the CertificateTemplate request attribute. (The request contains no certificate template information. 0x80094801 (-214687 5391)) Certificate Request Processor: The request contains no certificate template information. 0x80094801 (-2146875391) Denied by Policy Module The request does not contain a certificate template extension or the CertificateTemplate request attribute.
How do I create a certificate signing request file so that a Microsoft CA will accept it and create a certificate from it. Thanks, Linh.

I'm writing a applecation about x509 to deal with certificate and certificate request.
I found that DER format certificate request create by sun's software with no extensions.
I think this cause your error.My be MS CA can't identify such a request!So it's difficult to solve this problem unless MS or Sun change their codes.

Cisco Wireless Control System need wireless Lan Controller ?

Cisco Wireless Control System need wireless Lan Controller , for Rogue detection

Hi Joao,
The WCS is used in conjuntion with the WLC (Wireless Lan Controller) for Rogue Detection. It is not a must for this function but more of an add-on :)
The Cisco WCS is an optional network component that works in conjunction with Cisco Aironet Lightweight Access Points, Cisco wireless LAN controllers and the Cisco Wireless Location Appliance.
From this doc;
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6305/index.html
Overview of WCS
The Cisco Wireless Control System (WCS) is a Cisco Unified Wireless Network Solution management tool that adds to the capabilities of the web user interface and command line interface (CLI), moving from individual controllers to a network of controllers. WCS includes the same configuration, performance monitoring, security, fault management, and accounting options used at the controller level and adds a graphical view of multiple controllers and managed access points.
WCS runs on Windows 2003 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES 4.0 and AS 4.0 servers. On both Windows and Linux, WCS can run as a normal application or as a service, which runs continuously and resumes running after a reboot.
The WCS user interface enables operators to control all permitted Cisco Unified Wireless Network Solution configuration, monitoring, and control functions through Internet Explorer 6.0 or later. Operator permissions are defined by the administrator using the WCS user interface Administration menu, which enables the administrator to manage user accounts and schedule periodic maintenance tasks.
WCS simplifies controller configuration and monitoring while reducing data entry errors with the Cisco Unified Wireless Network Controller autodiscovery algorithm. WCS uses the industry-standard SNMP protocol to communicate with the controllers.

Is it possible run a Wireless LAN controller without a WCS?

is it possible run a Wireless LAN controller without a WCS?
How Can I configure the Wireless Lan controller?

Hi Alfred,
The WLC can be completly configured and operated without the WCS. The WCS is a nice addition for the management especially when running multiple WLC's but is not required.

How to sign a certificate signing request

Hi all,
In the PKI process, a client generates a PKCS#10 [certificate signing request|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Certificate_signing_request] (CSR see [sun.security.pkcs.PKCS10|http://www.docjar.com/docs/api/sun/security/pkcs/PKCS10.html] ), sends it to the certification authority (CA), & once the identity has been checked by the CA, the client retrieves his X.509 certificate (signed by the CA), sometimes along with the CA X.509 self-signed certificate.
I am acting as a CA, the current only way I know to transform a CSR to a X.509 certificate is by using OpenSSL :
openssl ca -config X509CA/openssl.cnf -days 365 -in CertName_csr.pem -out CertName.pem (see here ).
Is there any keytool way or even better any sun.security.* way to do that operation programmatically using Java code ?
Thanks for your feedback.
Edited by: Le_Sage on 19 avr. 2010 12:12

That's right, found the doc here : [keytool -gencert|http://download.java.net/jdk7/docs/technotes/tools/windows/keytool.html#gencertCmd] .
I guess the underlying code must be found under sun.security.* or com.sun.* code. I'll try to have a look.
Thanks for your feedback.

4404 wireless lan controller managment via wireless clients

I am having an issue managing a 4404 wireless lan controller via wireless clients.
I have checked the box "enable controller management to be accessible from wireless clients" under management. For some reason that does not seem to fix the problem (page cannot be displayed). I cannot ping the controller by IP but other devices on the same subnet respond. Everything else works fine.
I CAN manage the controller when plugged in a wired connection.
When I do a route print it is identical wireless or wired. The route simple points to my interface. If I modify the route on my computer to actually point to our gateway instead of the interface then everything works. But why should I have to do this only for my wireless connection and not my wired to manage this box?

Thanks for the info. I narrowed the problem down to an ARP issue.
In order for me to connect to the controller, I run a batch file that creates a static ARP entry on my laptop. I don't have to do this for any other device except the controller. Not sure what the underlying cause is, but that works as a workaround right now.

Wireless Lan Controller Issue

Hi All,
We have a Wireless Lan Controller 4402 with software version 4.0.155.5. On Friday we experience a problem where our clients wouldn't get redirected to the internal webpage for authentication. It would just come up with page not found. We know the page was working fine becasue we could manually type in the
https://1.1.1.1/login.html and the
page would come up and you could login successfully. The users who were already connected to the controller were not affected and continued to operate. We have 2 other WLC's at the same software revision and they were not affected so I don't think it has anything to to with software level. Its like the webserver in the wlc failed to work. We failed over the AP's to the 3rd WLC and rebooted WLC1. After the WLC1 restarted we failed one of the previous non-working AP's back to it and it works again.
I know "now" there is debug commands to run at the time when the WLC wasn't working, but unfortunately I didn't know at the time. The WLC is running again fine and I was wondering if anybody has seen this issue before.
Any ideas on a fix or reason would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

We are running WiSM 4.1.185.0 and we just had the similar problem with one controller. The other three controllers were fine when it happened. The exactly issue was the nslookup failed(timed out) from the client, so the web login page won't show when people lunch the browser. A reboot of the controller fixed the problem. We have been running Cisco LWAPP for more than a year (from 4.0.155.5 to 4.1.185.0) and it is the first time we see this problem. TAC is still investigating the cause.

Wireless LAN Controller not broadcasting network to Access points

Good Day Team,
I am working with a 2100 series WLC controller and 1100 series access point.
I noticed that the wireless lan controller is working. Also the access point is working.
The issue is that there is no internet connection on the access point.
What could be the error?
Kindly advice

Try do diagnose your problem following this steps:
1) Connect to the wireless network
2) Check your IP address with "ifconfig"
3) Check if your gateway is set correctly with "route -n"
4) Try to ping your gateway. Is it working?
5) Try to ping an internet IP like google: "ping 74.125.234.115"
6) Try to resolve names with "nslookup www.google.com" for example.
7) Try to traceroute to an IP or name on internet. Check the result to see the last hop you reached.
8) If you passed all those tests, try this: "telnet www.google.com 80"
If everything works, but not the test #8, your problem could be related to some proxy configuration.
