Cisco ISE and authentication for 802.1x printer

Hello
What is the best practice to authenticate a 802.1x printer in Cisco ISE?
The printer can store a certificate for authentication and support EAP-TLS.
Thanks for answer.
Marco

EAP-TLS is the way to go. It is way way way more secure than MAB and profiling. However, the question is "How much of a hassle is it going to be to put a certificate on each printer?" Moreover, "What methods do I have (if any) to renew those certificates when they expire?" If have to manually generate a CSR and install a cert on each printer then it can quickly become an administrative overhead nightmare. With that being said, you can use MAB and profiling but just make sure that you lock down the access that those printers get. For instance, do they need access to the internet? Do they need access to anything else but the print server and/or open to all IPs access but only on the printing ports. 
I hope this puts you in the right direction!

  • Cisco ISE and Authentication Failed VLAN

    I am trying to setup ISE to assign a VLAN to unauthorized computers. I tried using "authentication event fail action authorize vlan 666" command but unfortunately I'm using multi-auth because we have users with bridged VMs and Cisco does not support it (http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/lan/catalyst3560/software/release/12.2_55_se/configuration/guide/sw8021x.html#wp1454875).
    Is there a way to make an Authorization/Authentication profile within ISE to assign the VLAN to failed devices?

    You can set endpoint protection status to quarantine, and establish policies  that assign different
    authorization profiles, depending on the status of the  endpoint.
    Quarantine essentially moves an endpoint from its default VLAN to a  specified Quarantine VLAN. The
    The Quarantine VLAN must be previously defined  by a network administrator and supported on the
    same NAS as the endpoint.  Unquarantine reverses the quarantine action, returning the endpoint to  its
    original VLAN.
    The quarantine and unquarantine actions are performed  as a result of established Authorization Rules
    that are defined to check for  EPSStatus

  • Is ASA integration with ISE and RSA for 2 factor authentication a valid/tested design

    Hi,
    Customer currently uses ASA to directly integrate with RSA kind of solution to provide 2 factor authentication mechanism for VPN user access.  We're considering to introduce ISE to this picture, and to offload posture analysis from ASA to ISE.  And the flow we're thinking is to have ASA interface to ISE and ISE interface to RSA and AD backend infrastructure.  And we still need the 2 factor authentication to work, i.e., customer gets a SMS code in addition to its login username and password.  I'm wondering if ASA/ISE/RSA/AD integrated solution (and with 2 factor authentication to work) is a tested solution or Cisco validate design?  Any potential issue may break the flow?
    Thanks in advance for any input!

    Hi,
    I have an update for this quite broad question.
    I have now came a bit further on the path.
    Now the needed Radius Access Attribute are available in ISE after adding them in
    "Policy Elements" -> "Dictionaris" -> "System" -> "Radius" -> "Cisco-VPN3000".
    I added both the attribute 146 Tunnel-Group-Name which I realy need to achive what I want(select diffrent OTP-backends depending on Tunnel Group in ASA) and the other new attribute 150 Client-Type which could be intresting to look at as well.
    Here the "Diagnostics Tools" -> "Generel tools" -> "TCP Dump" and Wireshare helped me understand how this worked.
    With that I could really see the attributes in the radius access requests going in to the ASA.
    Now looking at a request in "Radius Authentication details" I have
    Other Attributes:
    ConfigVersionId=29,Device Port=1025,DestinationPort=1812,RadiusPacketType=AccessRequest,Protocol=Radius,CVPN3000/ASA/PIX7.x-Tunnel-Group-Name=SMHI-TG-RA-ISESMS,CVPN3000/ASA/PIX7.x-Client-Type=,CPMSessionID=ac100865000006294FD60A7F,.....
    Ok, the tunnel group name attribute seems to be understood correct, but Client-Type just say =, no value for that.
    That is strange, I must have defined that wrong(?), but lets leave that for now, I do not really need it for the moment being.
    So now when I have this Tunnel-Group-Name attribute available I want to use it in my Rule-Based Authentication Policy.
    Problem now is that as soon as I in an expression add a criteria containing Cisco-VPN3000:CVPN3000/ASA/PIX7.x-Tunnel-Group-Name matches .* (just anything), then that row does not match any more. It still work matching against NAS-IP and other attributes.
    What could it be I have missed?

  • Cisco ISE and SecurID Integration Questions

    I'm looking for some clarity trying to understand something conceptually. I want to integrate Cisco ISE with RSA SecurID, the idea being that if the user authenticates with RSA SecurID they end up on one VLAN, however, if they don't authenticate with (or don't use, or don't have) SecurID they'll end up on another VLAN. Note that I'm not using SecurID for wireless access...all PCs are wired to Ethernet.
    We have been using RSA SecurID for a while and are currently on version 8.0. Our users are authenticating via the RSA Agent typically on Windows 8.1. Instead of the usual Windows login prompt, the RSA Agent first prompts for the username and passcode (they use an app on their smartphones to get the passcode), then after a moment or two, it prompts for their Windows domain password.
    We have recently installed Cisco ISE version 1.3. With the help of a local Cisco engineer and going through the "Cisco Identity Services Engine User Guide", I have it set up and running along with a few 'test' ports on our Cisco 6809 switch, it basically works...as a test it's simply set up that if they authenticate they're on one VLAN, if not, they end up on another (this is currently without using RSA...just out-of-the-box Windows authentication).
    The Cisco engineer was unable to help me with RSA SecurID, so pressing on without him, out of the same user guide I have followed the directions for "RSA Identity Sources" under the "Managing Users and External Identity Sources", and that went well as far as ISE is concerned; I am now ready to get serious about getting ISE and SecurID working together.
    My mistake in this design so far was assuming that the RSA agent on the Windows client PCs would communicate with Cisco ISE...there doesn't seem to be a way to have them point to a non-RSA SecurID server for authentication. The concept I'm missing is what, or how, the end-user machine is supposed to authenticate taking advantage of both ISE and SecurID.
    I have dug deeper into the Cisco ISE documentation but it seems heavily biased towards Wi-Fi and BYOD implementations and it's not clear to me what applies to wired vs wireless. Perhaps it's a case that I'm not seeing the forest for the trees, but I'm not understanding what the end-user authentication looks like. It apears that as I learn more about ISE, it should become the primary SSO source, that SecurID becomes just an identity source and the PC clients would no-longer directly communicate with the SecurID servers. That being the case, do I need to replace the SecurID client on the PCs and something else Cisco-ish fills this role? An agent for ISE? How do they continue to use their passcode without the RSA agent?
    Thanks!

    The external db not operation indicates that there is no communication between ACS and RSA. Did you fetch the package.cab file to analyse the auth.log file?
    Have you already gone through the below listed link?

  • ISE and authenticating against Windows AD with RADIUS realm that is different from the Windows domain

    Hello
    We are in the process of evaluating the Cisco ISE VMWare appliance with a view to replace our existing FreeRADIUS installation as authentication provider for our wireless network and VPN service. As a part of this we are hoping to migrate our user authentication to Microsoft Active Directory - we have previously authenticated against a different identity store (not MS AD).  Because of this legacy our Windows domain is not the same as our RADIUS realm name - the Windows domain is "win.mydomain" whereas we wish to allow users to authenticate using "username@mydomain" or even "[email protected]" as they are doing today. We are experiencing an issue where authentication requests with the format "[email protected]" will be forwarded to the Windows AD whereas authentication requests with the format "username@mydomain" will fail with the log message "User not found in Active Directory". We do not know if the ISE itself is validating the username and triggering this error, or if the error originates from AD. We suspect the that the ISE is not even asking AD because "win.mydomain" is the domain configured in "Active Directory" in "External Identity Sources".
    Authentication requests against the AD without a realm are successful (that is, using only "username"). With this in mind we located a post on the Cisco support forums that described a process of proxying the request back to the ISE and strip the realm information, but this was specific for the ACS platform. We have attempted to implement this solution but it is still not working as we would have hoped, and we are not entirely certain where the fault might lie. We are currently using PEAP with MSCHAPv2 for authentication in our WLAN where the main problem is. We suspect that the "proxy-to-self" with realm stripping is an issue with PEAP.
    Is there a supported method of achieving our goal, or should we abandon the ISE platform as our scenario is simply not supported?

    Seems like your issue maybe related to DNS, when ISE receives the format [email protected], the dns request is failing. However, there is a setting for alternate UPN Suffixes that can be configured to include domain.com and student.domain.com.
    Here is a windows article that should fix this for you. Once you get this updated please reboot ISE so it rejoins AD. Try your tests again.

  • Cisco ISE and WLC Access-List Design/Scalability

    Hi,
    I have a scenario whereby wireless clients are authenticated by the ISE and different ACLs are applied to it based on the rules on ISE. The problem I seems to be seeing is due to the limitation on the Cisco WLC which limit only 64 access-list entries. As the setup has only a few SVI/interfaces and multiple different access-lists are applied to the same interface base on the user groups; I was wondering if there may be a scalable design/approach whereby the access-list entries may scale beside creating a vlan for each user group and applying the access-list on the layer 3 interface instead? I have illustrated the setup below for reference:
    User group 1 -- Apply ACL 1 --On Vlan 1 
    User group 2 -- Apply ACL 2 -- On Vlan 1
    User group 3 -- Apply ACL 3 -- On Vlan 1
    The problem is only seen for wireless users, it is not seen on wired users as the ACLs may be applied successfully without any limitation to the switches.
    Any suggestion is appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Actually, you have limitations on the switch side as well. Lengthy ACLs can deplete the switch's TCAM resources. Take a look at this link:
    http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/switches/catalyst-3750-series-switches/68461-high-cpu-utilization-cat3750.html
    The new WLCs that are based on IOS XE and not the old Wireless/Aironet OS will provide the a better experience when it comes to such issues. 
    Overall, I see three ways to overcome your current issue:
    1. Shrink the ACLs by making them less specific
    2. Utilize the L3 interfaces on a L3 switch or FW and apply ACLs there
    3. Use SGT/SGA
    Hope this helps!

  • Cisco ISE and WLC Timeout Best Practices

    I am fairly new to ISE. Our Cisco WLC is using 802.1x and ISE is configured for PEAP with all inner methods enabled.
    I am looking for some guidance around where I should be configuring timeouts. There is a PEAP Session timeout in ISE, a session timeout on the WLC and a RADIUS reauthentication timeout that can be set in the Authorization profile results object in ISE.
    Currently I have the WLC configured for its default 1800 second timeout and ISE PEAP timeout at the default 7,200 value.

    I ended up answering my own question. The authorization session timeouts should be set in ISE if at all.
    Once I removed the session timeout value from the WLC and used the re-auth value in the ISE policy I had less complaints about disconnects.
    The session timeout on the PEAP settings has not caused any ill affects at it's default. The session resume has taken a huge load off of AAA though. Its worth turning on.

  • Cisco ISE and Switch 3560-X

    Good Morning,
    I am conducting an implementation of Cisco ISE version 1.2.1.198 with all its features on a switch 3560-X and in the ISE compatibility chart the minimum version for this switch would be the IOS v 15.0.2-SE2 (ED).
    My doubt is whether i need the feature ipbase or just the lanbase would be sufficient to meet all the features of 802.1x for the Cisco ISE.
    I appreciate the attention and Thanks,

    Please see the "Cisco Secure Access and Cisco TrustSec Release 5.0 System Bulletin".
    It notes that the 3560-X requires IP base license for all the 802.1X features.

  • ISE and WLC for posture remediation

    Please can anybody clarify a few things in relation to ISE and wireless posture.
    1) Is the ACL-POSTURE-REDIRECT used for remediation, or is it just an ACL to redirect only some traffic to kickoff posture checking?
    2) Can/Should a dACL/wACL be specified as a remediation ACL?
    3) Do the WLC ACLs have to be written in long format (manually specifying source and dest ports/doesny direction any work?)
    4) Does anybody have working example ACLs for posture redirect (cpp) and remediation (dACL)?
    5) Any other advice or pointers would be helpful too as no docs i have found so far, be it TrustSec2, CiscoLive or anything else, dont seem to help me understand WLC posture and remediation
    thanks
    Nick

    Nick,
    Answers are inline:
    1) Is the ACL-POSTURE-REDIRECT used for remediation, or is it just an  ACL to redirect only some traffic to kickoff posture checking? This is for both (if ports 8905..are included) then this is for initial redirection, and remediation
    2) Can/Should a dACL/wACL be specified as a remediation ACL? Wireless does not support DACL, you will have to reference another ACL in the the authorization policy, the new versions have the Airespace ACL field, where you will have the ACL defined locally on the wlc.
    3) Do the WLC ACLs have to be written in long format (manually specifying source and dest ports/doesny direction any work?) Yes you have to add two entries, for example for all traffic redirection to ise...source = any, destination=iseipadd, source port=any, destination port=any direction=any action=permit
    source=iseipaddr, destination ip = any, source port=any, destination port=any, direction=any action permit. Its not the easiest but I will attach a screenshot that will show you my example.
    4) Does anybody have working example ACLs for posture redirect (cpp) and remediation (dACL)? ISE doesnt support DACLs so when you build your authorization profile in ISE you select the web authentication type (Posture Discovery) after that the ACL field will come up, there you will "call" the posture ACL which is defined on your controller.
    5)  Any other advice or pointers would be helpful too as no docs i have  found so far, be it TrustSec2, CiscoLive or anything else, dont seem to  help me understand WLC posture and remediation Keep in mind that you have to have radius NAC and AAA override enabled under the advanced settings for COA to work.
    You have to turn on COA under the global settings in ISE (Administration > Profiling > Coa Type > Reauth)
    Then you have to build your policies so that when a user connects to the network they are redirected to the download the nac agent (this is where the Posture Discovery and redirect ACL work in tandem).
    Once the client download the nac agent and is compliant the report is forwarded to ISE where a COA event is triggered.
    Then the client will reauthenticate and will hit another policy that will give them access once their machine is compliant, you can set the ACLs for restricted access, use dynamic vlan assignment, or just send the access-accept.
    Thanks,

  • ISE and critieria for quarantine

    We have a question concerning ISE and what criteria it is able to use when placing an enpoint into quarrantine. We would like to configure ISE to quarrantine systems that have been placed on a network other than our business network. In other words, we're wondering if ISE is able to detect whether one of our systems has been on another network (for example: it has been connected to a users' home network). Can ISE do this, quarantining the system until security scans can be completed?
    Thank you for any information that you can provide

  • Inline Posture between Cisco ISE and Wireless LAN Controller

    Hi,
    I was looking into Cisco ISE solution for deploying NAC.
    I have a question about the network topology.
    In  the user guide documents of cisco ISE, it is written that for Wireless  LAN Controllers (WLC) and VPN devices, an additional server, Inline Posture, is needed.
    However, in the following integration document, there is not an inline posture between WLC and Cisco ISE server.
    https://supportforums.cisco.com/docs/DOC-18121
    I  want to know if Inline Posture is a requirement, if not a  requirement, what are the benefits of having it between Cisco ISE Server  and WLC.

  • Cisco ISE and Fast User Switching

    Greetings,
    In our deployment, we are interested in utilizing the "Fast User Switching" that is contained within the Windows Functionality.   After searching for quite a while, I see that the native Windows supplicant is not compatible with Fast User Switching.   It does not appear that Anyconnect is either.   Can you please inform me as to what suppluicant I would need to research in order to allow for the User Switchign Functionality?
    We are currently using ISE 1.2 Patch 4.
    Thank You for any assistance.
    David

    The  NAC Agent for Cisco ISE does not support Windows Fast User Switching  when using the native supplicant. This is because there is no clear  disconnect of the older user. When a new user is sent, the Agent is hung  on the old user process and session ID, and hence a new posture cannot  take place. As per the Microsoft Security policies, it is recommended to  disable Fast User Switching.

  • Cisco ISE and PEAP CERT

    Any one know where you load the CA Certiricate for PEAP if you use ISE as a radius server ?

    Alright, I've been able to create my own CA in win2008 and ubuntu server aswell ( I was so desperate about this cert thing on windows 7 where it popped up that terminate/connect error that i had to create all that)
    Anyway the scenario is using third party cert.
    **The domain name doesn't have to match ISE domain name for PEAP Authentication** (so i used my guest webpage ssl cert)
    Now windows 7 computers that are a part of a domain/workgorup using native wireless client would still get that error no matter what, even if you add the root cert as a trusted authority in cert list and all that, even third party ones.
    Seems like a windows7 bug and here is the workaround:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2518158 
    I just did that for root ca and intermediate ca from third party ca (goddady in my case) - I did test it with windows server ca and also with ubuntu server ca (yes i did test alot )
    Hope it helps someone as it was driving me crazy

  • Cisco ISE and forest trusts vs domain trusts

    Hi All,
    Is there any issues with forest trusts with Cisco ISE ?
    I have a customer that had external trusts and ISE was working ok for PEAP MSChapv2 user auth across domains.
    They recently removed external trusts and changed to forest trusts.  Now auth doesn't work.  Initial error was authc ok, authz fail.
    I can search and get lists of AD groups ok for the remote domain. 
    Using the attribute tab, I can't get attributes for users in remote domain.  I'm thinking since I can't see the memberof attribute, none of my authz pollicies will work.
    I have done "leave" and "join" domain again.
    In my lab, I have forest trusts and it actually works ok.  A previous poster talked about kerberos issues across forest trusts ?
