Certificates and ISE

is it possible to use just a certificate to authenticate a BYOD device with ISE?
we are pushing down a cert to BYOD via mobileiron. We have a root cert then installed on ISE. Is this enough to allow the device access or do we need AD authentication?
we are getting errors around EAP/TLS

Hi Matt-
I have a couple of questions:
1. Are you planning on performing EAP-TLS based authentication (Authentication based on the machine/user certificate). Or are you planning on using PEAP (Username/password based authentication)?
2. What type of devices are you pushing the certificates to
3. Who is Certificate Authority that is signing the certificates
Thank you for rating helpful posts!

  • ISE EAP-Chaining with machine, certificate and domain credentials

    Good morning,
    A customer wants to do the following for their corporate wireless users (all clients will be customer assets):
    Corp. wireless to authenticate with 2-factor authentication:
    •1. Certificate
    •2. Machine auth thru AD
    •3. Domain creds
    When client authenticates, they want to match on 2 out of the 3 conditions before allowing access.
    Clients are Windows laptops and corporate iPhones.
    Certs can be issued thru GPO and MDM for iPhones
    Client supplicant on laptops is native Windows - which I understand is a compatibility issue from this thread: https://supportforums.cisco.com/thread/2185627
    My first question is: can this be done?
    Second question: how would i implement this from an AuthC/AuthZ perspective?
    Thanks in advance,
    Andrew

    You can do this configuring anyconnect with NAM modules on endpoints! But I don't make sense configure some clients with certificate and others with domains credentials...
    For your information, I'm actually configuring EAP-Chaining on ISE 1.2 and i'm gotting some problems. The first one I got with windows 8, for some reason windows was sending wrong information about the machine password but I solved the problem installing a KB on windows 8 machines (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2743127/en-us). The second one I got with windows 7 that are sending information correctly about domain but wrong information about user credentials, on ISE logs I can see that windows 7 are sending user "anonymous" + machine name on the first longin... after windows 7 start if I remove the cable and connect again the authentication and authorization happen correctly. I still invastigate the root cause and if there is a KB to solve the problem as I did with windows 8.
    Good luck and keep in touch.

    01. on local certificate's Bind CA Signed Certificate Eanble Validation of certifcate extenstions and Certificate store "Trust for client authentiation"
    Should i check this option during the time i import the certifiate?  and what this mean on it?
    02. on local certificate's Bind CA Signed Certificate, should i check the option on "Protocol: Mangement interface" as well?
    Thanks

  • Go Daddy Certificate on ISE Repeat accept certificate on Windows 7/8/8.1

    We have moved from a self signed certificate to a Go Daddy certificate to avoid trust issues around self signed certificates.  IOS devices continue to work fine, but Windows devices have to accept the certificate trust many times.  Sometimes it takes 4-6 times clicking connect while on some machines it takes 10-14 times of clicking connect when it prompts you to verify the certificate.  Sometimes it will never connect and you have click terminate once and then click connect a few times.  What is the deal?  This happens equally on Windows 7, 8, and 8.1 machines when connecting to the ISE SSID the first time.  This also only happens when using the Microsoft PEAP.  On my machine, I have an Intel WIFI card so I have the option of using Intel control and Intel PEAP instead of Microsoft.  This works fine.  Something to do with the Microsoft supplicant and ISE on this trust?  Anyone else have this issue or know how to fix it?  The system does work.  It is just annoying for low end users who don't understand to just keep clicking connect...windows will believe you eventually.
    More information: I have also installed the provided Go Daddy intermediate cert in Intermediate Certification Authorities and in Trusted Root Certification Authorities.  Neither help the process.

    #8 The Start Menu and User Interface
    1. The Start Menu
    Allow Drag and Drop from the left list to the right pinned icons. Update build 10041, Microsoft have done this.
    The Start menu is bloated with Metro Apps, making it more cumbersome to find useful installed programs. Example of Start Menu to the left bloated with Metro Apps.
    These should all be in a Windows Apps folder similar to all the (more useful) items in the Windows Accessories folder.
    2. Windows and X Menu (Right Click Start)
    Please add your votes to my Windows UserVoice suggestion here.
    Add the following to the “Windows and X” menu:
    Windows Defender
    Windows Defender Offline
    Devices and Printers
    .iso to Bootable USB Utility
    "Settings" → This definitely has to be here
    Make the Windows and X Menu look like part of Windows 10.
    3. Windows Defender
    Add it to the Windows and X Menu as described above and also add right click context menus like Microsoft Security Essentials had:
    4. Minor Feedback
    I'm not a great fan of the new icons, the folders are too bright and it looks like they have been drawn in Microsoft paint. The Recycle bin particularly looks terrible.

    Hi,
    From your description, my understanding is that you have some doubts about SAN.
    If you have a SAN, you can leverage it to make SharePoint
    a little easier to manage and to tweak SharePoint's performance. From a management standpoint, SANs make it easy to adjust the size and number of SharePoint's hard disks. What you could refer to this blog:
    http://windowsitpro.com/sharepoint/best-practices-implementing-sharepoint-san. You could find what SAN needs from part “Some
    SAN Basics” in this blog.
    These articles may help you understand SAN:

  • Multiple additional SIP domains - certificate and DNS requirements

    We've setup Lync 2010 Enterprise in our organisation and have successfully enabled a couple of thousand users.
    This is working successfully internally, externally and through Lync Mobile.
    However, we've only enabled users who are using the main company domain for SMTP and SIP addresses aaaaa_group.com (so all nice and easy so far!)
    In other words, user A has a primary SMTP and SIP address of
    UserA@aaaaa_group.com
    However, due to numerous mergers and acquisitions over the years, we have quite a lot of users who have other primary SMTP addresses e.g. bbbbb_co.uk, ccccc_company.com, ddddd_ltd.co.uk, de.ccccc_company.com etc etc
    There must be in excess of 40 to 50
    of these other domains in use as primary SMTP addresses.
    (Nearly all
    these users have secondary SMTP addresses of aaaaa_group.com).
    I have been told to approach this from a best practices point of view and give all users a SIP address that matches their primary SMTP address and calculate how much it will cost to buy certificates to cover enabling every user for Lync on all these domains.
    I know from reading that wilcard certificates are considered to be a bad thing generally with Lync, especially if using Lync Mobility as the phone Lync clients don't accept them. 
    Wilcard certificates aside, what are the names that will I need to add to my SAN certificates?  Presumably sip.domain.com, access.domain.com, meet.domain.com, dialin.domain.com, edge.domain.com, autodiscover.domain.com, lyncdiscover.domain.com
    The potential cost of all these names is frankly getting pretty scary considering we currently use Verisign for all our cert requirements, and they charge like a wounded bull.  However, I still need to report back with a cost of doing this, no matter
    what it is.
    Any thoughts/comments would be very welcome. :-)

    Actually the Mobility clients for mobile devices (cell phones, tablets) DO support wildcard entries in the certificates, it's the Lync Phone Edition client (desktop handset devices) which does not work with wildcards.  So you may be able to use wildcards,
    but do plenty of research on how to approach this.  Here are some articles to get started:
    http://blog.schertz.name/2011/02/wildcard-certificates-in-lync-server/
    http://blog.schertz.name/2011/02/lync-phone-edition-incompatible-wildcard-certificates/
    That said, if you decide to skip the wildcard approach then you do NOT need to add additional entries for ALL FQDN types, only some.
    For both the Edge Server external certificate and any internal Front End certificate you'll need to add the 'sip' FQDN for every domain to the SAN field.
    sip.domain1.com, sip.domain2.com, sip.domain3.com, etc
    The Front End certificate will also need the lyncdiscover and lyncdiscoverinternal
    FQDNs, and the Reverse Proxy certificate will require the lyncdiscover
    FQDNs.
    For Exchange Server you'll need to an autodiscover.domainX.com record as well, although this can also be covered by the wildcard entry.  The remainder of names (web conferencing, external web services, dialin, meet, etc.) can all remain in the primary
    SIP domain only as these FQDNs will be passed in-band to the clients after they have successfully signed-in to Lync.  Unless you need users to all user their own domain names for the SimpleURLs (which it doesn't not sound like in your scenario) then you'd
    have to add all those as well.
    So if you are not supporting any Lync Phone Edition devices I would try going with the wildcard route first to see how well things work.  And even if you do have some of those devices you could simply add the 40-50
    sip.domain.com FQDNs to both the FE and Edge certificate but still use a wildcard entry for the mobility clients, SimpleURls, etc.  Just make sure that the certificates Common Name (e.g. Subject Name) is NOT the wildcard entry, use the primary
    domain name entry in the CN and then place the wildcard entries in the SAN field.  It is also best practice to duplicate the CN as a SAN field entry for the widest range of support by all clients.
    For example:
    Edge Server external certificate
    Common Name: sip.domain1.com
    Subject Alternative Name: sip.domain1.com, *.domain1.com, *.domain2.com, *.domain3.com, *.domain4.com,
    etc...

  • Trying to set up encrypted mails but I'm confused about certificates and keys

    Hello all,
    My first foray into encrypted emails and I'm already confused! To begin with, I'm trying to exchange mails with one other person, who I believe uses Outlook. So far:
    He's sent me his certificate (although I thought I would receive his public key) which is a file called smime.p7m. I don't know what to do with this.
    I've successfully followed the instructions at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/digitally-signing-and-encrypting-messages. When I start a new mail, I can either go to the Enigmail menu and switch on encryption / digital signing and it seems fine, or I can go to the dropdown on the S/MIME button and it says "You need to set up one or more personal certificates before you can use this security feature." Are these two different ways of doing the same thing (in which case I'll use the one that works!) or not?
    As you can see, I'm getting confused between keys and certificates! If some kind person could take a minute to explain what my next steps are, that would be much appreciated. I couldn't find anything on the Thunderbird support pages, though I know I need to send him my public key.
    Thanks in advance.
    Stuart.

    Stuart8, good find, that article.
    I found the main disincentive to using the built-in S/MIME capability is that it's not immediately obvious where to get your certificate and keys. Most providers want $$$ for them, which is natural enough if they are actually going to validate you in some way. I did at one time have a Thawte certificate and even enough WOT vouches to be a low-grade WOT Attorney.
    Once you have your key, it's a bit of a pfaff to install it into Thunderbird. You'll probably find that S/MIME is the default in business correspondence, since many businesses operate their own mail servers, ftp servers and so on and probably have an arrangement to generate self-issued certificates or to buy them on a commercial basis from a CA.
    Enigmail/OpenPGP doesn't require any financial outlay on your part, but is harder to get your keys properly validated since there's not much of a formal WOT nor a reliable central registry. You generate your own keys and it's pretty much all based on mutual trust.
    Since the two systems are incompatible, you need to have set up the same as whatever your correspondent is using.
    I suspect that you have discovered that it's a two-way process. In order for a correspondent to send you an encrypted message, you must both be using the same system, and he must have your public key to encrypt his message, and you'll need his in order to reply with encryption. So yes, he needs to send you his public key for you to send to him, but what he sends to you needs YOUR public key.
    Obviously, signing messages is a useful halfway house. I believe that you sign with your private key, and the recipient will have to download your public key to validate your signature. Whilst a signature doesn't safeguard your privacy, it goes some way to proving that the message came from who it says it came from and that it hasn't been altered in transit. (I really can't understand why banks, lawyers, insurance companies haven't picked up on these encryption and signing schemes. Perhaps they actually prefer all those awful phone calls where you need to struggle to recall supposedly unforgettable names and dates! ;-) )
    In practice, I find that if you sign a message to an outfit who don't know what to do with it, their numpty anti-virus system will probably barf on the signature which it thinks is executable code and therefore must be a virus or worm. :-(

  • When i try to access my hotmail, i always get "view certificate" and i can not get to my email.

    every time i try to get to my hotmail, i get a message "view certificate" and it would not allow me to get to email from hotmail. and if i can sign in rarely, i can not sign out.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == i try to sign in to my email

    My fiancee had the same problem with her laptop. Try making sure your time/date are set correctly. Other than that, I'm not sure. It worked for her, hope it works for you! :)

  • Step Through a List of .p12 Certificates and Their Passwords to Extract Property Data

    This is a follow-up question to my previous thread:
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/58ca3098-e06d-419a-9465-1ae7973e1c04/extract-p12-property-information-via-powershell?forum=ITCG
    I understand how to extract the information for a certificate one-by-one, but I am wanting to write a powershell script that will step through a list of certificates and a list of their corresponding network passwords in order to extract their property
    data (i.e. expiration date, etc). Any suggestions?
    jrv helped me with the first part of my question by providing this script:
    PS C:\> $filename='c:\temp2\certs\jpd.cer'
    PS C:\> $cert=[System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Certificate2]::CreateFromSignedFile($filename)
    PS C:\scripts> $cert|fl
    Happy Hunting!

    HINT:
    dir *.cer | %{ [System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Certificate2]::CreateFromSignedFile($_)}
    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  • My company loaded profiles onto my iPad for email and calendars.. There is also a signing certificate and a certificate. What are these for? Additionally are they able to monitor apps and usage, ie Internet usage when it is not on their wifi?

    I do not have any VPN enabled?

    Do you happen to have an Android?  If so and depending on what version there is a great data usage analyse tool built-in.  See if you can go to Settings -> Data Usage  from there you can pick a current or previous billing cycle and then use the vertical sliders to select a date range and it will filter the usage data per app to show you exactly what app(s) were using data during that time frame.

  • Creating SSL certificate and configuring it with JBOSS 4.0.1

    I have to post some data to a secured site from my application.
    For this, I am creating connection to that site using URLConnection and to send data I create OutputStream using the connection.
    But, while creating the stream it is showing SSLException and message is No trusted certificate found.
    For this, I need to create SSL certificate (mostly using keytool command) and configure it with my application server which is JBOSS 4.0.1
    Now, my problem is that I don't know the exact steps to create a certificate and configure it with JBOSS. Please provide the steps in detail.

    I think you have this back to front. Unless this exception came from the server, in which case it is misconfigured, you don't have to create a certificate, you have to import the server's certificate, or that of one of its signers, into the client's truststore, and tell Java where the truststore is if it's in a non-standard location.
    See http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/security/jsse/JSSERefGuide.html. You'll have to ask about the JBoss part in a JBoss forum.
