Cisco ISE - CWA AD Authentication
Hello,
I'm using a Cisco ISE on 1.3 and have a CWA portal setup for AD Auth. When a user connects to a particular SSID (from a WLC) that is setup for mac filtering, it redirects to a CWA via the Auth Policy. the CWA is disabled, they login, the device registers, etc.. and all is well. The next policy checks to see if the device is registered, and if so, bypasses the Auth. Which also works. However, any AD account can authenticate against the CWA, not the particular AD account I want. I don't know where to put the Auth Policy or what it looks like. Any help would be appreciated. I've tried a few combinations to no avail.
Below are my current Auth Policies, as I mention above. They work, but the CWA validates any AD credential, not the group I want. Should a NetworkAccess:UseCase=GuestFlow go between the 2 policies perhaps?
Hi Marc, what I meant by "desired_permissions" is what your environment/situation calls for. With that being said, returning back only "access_accept" with your "authorization profile" would work but at the same time it will give the authorized users/devices full access. So unless you have an ACL to Firewall off the guest users, you would need to return some additional attributes when trying to restrict/limit guest users/devices.
For instance, I like to use Policy Sets and dedicate a policy set per SSID and then either a general Policy Set for Wired or one Policy Set for Corporate Wired and one for Guest Wired. If you don't use policy sets, then you should create one "authorization rule for Guest_Wired and one for Guest_Wireless.
For the Guest_Wired, you will need to return "access_accept" and then a "DACL Name" that you can create locally in ISE.
For the Guest_Wireless, you will need to return "access_accept" and then a "Airspace ACL Name" That ACL is not a DACL (WLCs do not support DACLs). Instead, that is an ACL that you configure locally on the WLC, thus, the name must match on both ends and it is case sensitive!
Both the DACL and the "Airspace ACL" would contain rules that fit your environment/security requirements. Typically though you would have:
1. Permit DNS- Needed for DNS resolution
2. Permit access to ISE - Needed for the guest pages to properly load)
3. Deny any private/RFC 1918 addresses - Blocks guests from accessing internal hosts
4. Permit everything else - Needed for general internet browsing
I hope this helps!

Cisco ISE multiple EAP authentication methods question
With Cisco ISE can you have various clients each using different EAP methods, such as PEAP for Windows machines, MD5 for legacy and TLS for others?
My current efforts seem to fail as if a device gets a request from the ISE for an EAP method it doesnt understand it just times out.
Thanks in advance.Multiple EAP Methods work fine. If your Clients are being crap you could try forcing then to use a specific set of Allowed Authentication Method by creating more specific Authentication rules.

Good Day,
I have Cisco ISE 1.2 with Cisco 2960 NAD.
I configured the authorization for the employee successfully, but my issue is with the guest users the link is not redirected.
Please advise what I have put in the authentication policy default rule?? deny access ?
And on the switch I should put the guest connect to a specific ports or I have to configure specific VLAN in the authorization profile?
Appreciate your support,In your authorization policy you are giving your Wired-Guest the same result as Wired-Webauth.
First time through you don't know he's a guest so he hits Wired-Webauth and gets redirected. Second time through, you have him in guest flow, so you know he's an authenticated guest, he hits Wired-Guest, but you send him the same permissions "Web_Auth". Create a profile that you want to give to your authenticated guests - Guest_Allowed for instance. -
Cisco ISE Local Web Authentication via Switch
Hello,
I have Cisco ISE 1.2 and I need local webauthentication for clients.
I want to send webauthentication link via switch.
I made a research for it but I meet ACS documents :
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/solutions/Enterprise/Security/TrustSec_1-99/WebAuth/WebAuth_Dep_Guide.html#wp393321
and ISE central webauthentication documents for it.
Is there local webauth in ISE via switch?
Thanks,

Cisco ISE - CWA redirect in another way than cisco-av-pair?
Hello.
I'm trying to set up ISE as a CWA.
I have made all the rules in both Authenticatin and Authorization, and I also see the clients hitting the right rules. The Authorizaton rule redirects the client to a captive web portal within ISE like this: cisco-av-pair = url-redirect=https://ip:port/portal/gateway?sessionId=SessionIdValue&portal=etc.
But here is the problem: We use Aerohive as Accesspoints. And Aerohive does not support cisco-av-pair attributtes, since it's Cisco proprietary.
Therefore, even if ISE says everything is fine, it's not, because Aerohive does not understand what's been sent to it.
So the big question: Is there way to make the same redirect using standard radius attributes?
Thank you.Unfortunately there isn't. I have done a project with ISE and Aerohive before and outside of basic 802.1x authentications, I was not able to deploy any of the other ISE features. There isn't an interoperability guide for ISE but just a compatibility one:
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/security/ise/1-2/compatibility/ise_sdt.html
If could be wrong here so if someone else has done this before pls chime in.

Why are the ISE nodes needed to be defined in the web authentication redirect acl that is configured locally on the switch?
All the documentation that I've found states this. I've setup my 2yr old ISE environment this way and was advised in the beginning to do so. But after thinking the whole authentication process through and then testing out my theories I don't understand why the ISE nodes need to be defined in the switch redirect acl. I am now testing with a simple "redirect www & 443" acl and it is working as expected.
The client connects to the network and, for our environment, is requested to do dot1x until that times out and then it shifts to mab. At which point, I do not have an authz rule defined for my test machine and therefore matches my catch-all authz rule of CWA which sends a CWA DACL. The switch lays the acls on the interface in this order: 1. Redirect 2. DACL 3. PACL. In my DACL I have access to the ISE nodes allowed (just to be safe) and the redirection still works because my test machine is not sending any www/443 traffic to the ISE nodes that I'm aware of (CWA is 8443).
Can someone explain (in detail) why a client machine would send www/443 traffic to the ISE nodes and therefore need to be defined in the CWA redirect acl local to the switch.Poonam,
I appreciate the response. I understand the process and flow of CWA but I still don't see why the ISE nodes need to be defined (as deny statements or at all) in the redirect acl that is locally configured on the switch. Let me try to explain it better (sorry for the novel):
1. a default PACL is statically applied to an unused interface. For my environment our PACL is a simple "permit ip any any" which allows an open fallback in case communication to ISE fails.
2. A client plugs in and the switch begins talking dot1x to the client. During this time the PACL is the ONLY acl that is applied to the interface/client.
3. The client does not run dot1x and therefore the switch eventually fails over to mab. At this time, the CWA authz rule comes into effect and ISE sends the DACL to the switch via radius and also references which RACL (redirect acl) to use.
4. Not many people seem to understand this part....The switch then rebuilds the ACL that is applied to the interface/user. The switch creates an ACL that consists of ALL THREE ACLs. The first portion of this ACL is the RACL with permit statements (which are the deny RACL statements configured on the switch) and then redirect statements (which are the permit RACL statements configured on the switch) and then the DACL from ISE is the next portion of this new ACL and then the very last portion is the original static PACL that is configured on the port.
Again, I've tested this out over and over again on several different platforms (6500, 3700, 3800) and because, during the stage where the interface is in CWA state, the ACL that is applied to the interface is ALL THREE ACLs in the order of RACL>DACL>PACL....it doesn't seem to make sense that you need to define the ISE nodes in the RACL because all you need to define is what traffic you want to redirect. You define what traffic you want allowed in the DACL which is where you state access to the ISE nodes (either complete access or only 8443 access).
Let me give you this example. Say I have the following confgured:
CONFIGURED SWITCH INTERFACE ACL (PACL)
ip access-list standard ACL-ALLOW
permit ip any any
CONFIGURED SWITCH REDIRECT ACL (RACL)
ip access-list extended ACL-WEBAUTH-REDIRECT
permit tcp any any eq www 443
CONFIGURED ISE DOWNLOADABLE ACL (DACL)
permit tcp any host <psn01> eq 8443
permit udp any host <dns01> eq 53
deny ip any any
Then the process would look like this:
1. During dot1x negotiation the acl that is used is this:
permit ip any any <<<<<PACL
2. Once CWA is in effect then the acl looks like this:
redirect tcp host <host ip> any eq www 443 <<<<<<RACL
permit tcp host <host ip> host <psn01 ip> eq 8443 <<<<<<DACL
permit udp host <host ip> host <dns01 ip> eq 53 <<<<<<DACL
deny ip any any <<<<<<DACL
permit ip any any <<<<<<PACL -
Cisco Ise Central Web authentication not working
Hello Guys,
CWA is not working. It says that authentication suceeded but posture status is pending. No error in my Monitor--authentication. Checking it in my Windows 7, it does not shows the CWA portal.

Multiple domains authentication on Cisco ISE
Hi,
Does the current Cisco ISE supports for authenticating on multiple Active Directories ?
I can only set Cisco ISE to join on single active directory and LDAP
Does anyone have set Cisco ISE to support EAP-FAST with WPAD or PAC provisioning ?
Thanks
PongsatornHi,
We are into a situation where we need to authenticate users of two domains and these two domains are completely independent (no common DNS server). ISE is not able to resolve one of the domain using the DNS server settings and Adding a host entry for the domain name is not sufficient since Kerberos, GC and LDAP SRVs need to be resolvable as well.
From what I know ISE 1.3 should supports disjointed domains and there is no requirement for ISE to have 2 way trust relationship with domains.
Please share your experience if someone has faced similar situation before.

Cisco ISE - Not use FQDN in url-redirect parameter
Hi,
I am using Cisco ISE Central Web Authentication for Guest Wireless. Clients are redirected for web authentication to: https://ip:port/guestportal/gateway?sessionId=SessionIdValue&action=cwa as it is specified by the url-redirect parameter in the Authorization Profile.
The “ip” field in the url is now replaced by the FQDN of the Cisco ISE, but I want to use the IP address instead of the FQDN. Is there any way to do that?
As far as I know in version 1.2 you can use the “ip host/no ip host” command to indicate what you want to use in the URL. However my Cisco ISE is running version 1.1.1.268.
Thank you very much.
Joana.Available in 1.2, and available as a "bit of a bodge" in 1.1.x (read "a lot of a bodge")
If you only have one PSN then you may be able to get it to work, but after that you lose the ability to get the session to be pointed automatically at whichever PSN they hit initially so it would break.
Copy the settings that are applied when you use CWA, then create your own based on the same settings but using the ip address pasted in there instead. -
Hi
Can Anybody can update whether ISE-3315-K9 with ise version: Service Engine: 1.0.4.573 , supports the command level accounting
Bascially , we have integrated Cisco Switches with Cisco ISE for Device Authentication using Radius , we are able get the authentication logs on to the devices , but for any command changes or update done on Cisco devices we are not able to get the command accounting ..
has succeed in command level accounting on Cisco ISE ..
Please update
Cisco ISE doesn't have TACACS feature ...Command Accounting is a TACACS+ feature so not for ISE....yet.
However, you can do the following to send commands to syslog and not including passwords (hidekeys). I just picked 200 commands/lines to store in the local command buffer/log. increase or decrease as you have memory. The notify syslog is what sends it via syslog.
conf t
archive
log config
logging enable
logging size 200
hidekeys
notify syslog
end
wr mem
Remember, syslog is clear text :-) log away from user traffic when possible. Or use TLS based syslog when possible.
I hope you find this answer useful, if it was satisfactory for you, please mark the question as Answered.

Good morning everyone,
I have some trouble to use my Cisco ISE to do Central Web Authentication. I followed this following configuration example : http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/security/identity-services-engine/116087-configure-cwa-wlc-ise-00.html
But for the moment, clients can't seee the web portal. My WLC and my Cisco ISE are well configured as presented in the document, when clients connect to the AP, they are listed into the Cisco ISE with the good authorization profile but, the URL redirection doesn't work as well as I want, clients have to enter manually the IP address in the web browser to log-in trough the Cisco ISE.
If anyone already had this problem, maybe could tell me more about that.
Thanks in advance!Good news!
I have resolved my problem 15 minutes ago. For people who have the same problem, I have just changed my static route in my WLC. The issue was that I broadcast the same VLAN used for the management interface and in adding the network allowing admin to reach service-port, all traffic of my broadcasted VLAN was sent to the service-port. A simple netmask modification resolved the problem.
I have still a problem with CoA which doesn't work properly and I have to disconnect/reconnect to the SSID to have a complete access but I'm going to continue my research for that.
Thanks all for your help !!!! -
Hi,
Since we implemented Cisco ISE we receive the following failure on several Notebooks:
Authentication failed : 24408 User authentication against Active Directory failed since user has entered the wrong password
This happens 2 or 3 times per Day. So basically the authentications are working. But when the failure appears, the connection is lost for a short time.
The Clients are using PEAP(EAP-MSCHAPv2) for Authentication. We've got a Cisco Wireless Environment (WLC 5508).
Why is this happening?
Thanks,
MarcThe possible causes of this error message are:
1.] If the end user entered an incorrect username.
2.] The shared sceret between WLC and ISE is mismatched. With this we'll see continous failed authentication.
3.] As long as a PSN not receiving a response from the supplicant within this limit during an EAP conversation, it will throw this error code. In majority of cases it says eap session timed out.
In your cases, the 3rd option seems to be the most closest one.

Cisco ISE AD (Windows Server 2013) Authentication Problem
Background:
Deployed two Cisco ISE 1.1.3. ISE will be used to authenticate wireless users, admin access to WLC and switches. Backend database is Microsoft AD running on Windows Server 2012. Existing Cisco ACS 4.2 still running and authenticating users. There are two Cisco WLCs version 7.2.111.3.
Wireless users authenticates to AD through ACS 4.2 works. Admin access to WLC and switches to AD through ISE works. Wireless authentication using PEAP-MSCHAPv2 and admin access wtih PAP/ASCII.
Problem:
Wireless users cannot authenticate to AD through ISE. The below is the error message "11051 RADIUS packet contains invalid state attribute" & "24444 Active Directory operation has failed because of an unspecified error in the ISE".
Conducted a detailed test of AD from ISE. The test was successful and the output seems all right except for the below:

Action Taken:
Log on to Cisco ISE and WLC using AD credentials. This rules out AD connection, clock and AAA shared secret as the problem.
2) Tested wireless authentication using EAP-FAST but same problem occurs.
3) Detailed error message shows the below. This rules out any authentication and authorization polices. Before even hitting the authentication policy, the AD lookup fails.
12304 Extracted EAP-Response containing PEAP challenge-response
11808 Extracted EAP-Response containing EAP-MSCHAP challenge-response for inner method and accepting EAP-MSCHAP as negotiated

4) Enabled AD debugging logging and had a look at the logging. Nothing significant and no clues to the problem.
5) Tested wireless on different laptos and mobile phones with same error
6) Delete and add again AAA Client/Devices on both Cisco ISE and WLC
7) Restarted ISE services
8) Rejoin domain on Cisco ISE
9) Checked release notes of ISE 1.1.3 and WLC 7.2.111.3 for any open caveats. Nothing found related to this problem.
10) There are two ISE and two WLC deployed. Tested different combination of ISE1 to WLC1, ISE1 to WLC2 etc. This rules out hardware issue of WLC.
Other possibilities/action:
1) Test it out on a different WLC version. Will have to wait outage approval to upgrade WLC software.
2) Incompatibility of Cisco ISE and AD running on Microsoft Windows Server 2012
Anyone out there experienced something similar of have any ideas on why this is happening?
Thanks.
Update:
1) Built another Cisco ISE 1.1.3 sever in another datacentre that uses the same domain but different domain controller. Thais domain controller is running Windows Server 2008. This works and authentication successful.
2) My colleague tested out in a lab environment of Cisco ISE 1.1.2 with Windows Server 2012. He got the same problem as described.
This leads me to think there is a compatibility issue of Cisco ISE with Windows Server 2012.Does anyone know if ISE 1.1.3 p1 supports AD DCs running 2012, if not which patch is required ot version?
Worryingly when ISE joins a 2012 DC it states it's connected successfully, and if another 2003 DC is available in that datacentre it will perform the auths against that DC whilst actually advertising (Connections in the GUI) that it's connected to the 2012 DC. We ended up mapping 8 PSN IP’s to another datacentre which has one Win2003 servers whilst the old 2003 DC is being promoted back, the 8 ISE servers started working, even though they still advertised they were connected to the 2012 DCs in the original datacentre - I performed a leave and join on one PSN and only then did it advertise that the node was connected to a DC in a different datacentre -
Cisco ISE 1.1.2.145 Admin Authentication using LDAP
I have configured the LDAP and able to retrive our LDAP directory structure. Now, I am trying to point the 'Admin Access' authentication to "External Identity" Source which is the new LDAP IS I created. But I couldn't find an option to authenticate locally if for any reason the LDAP configuration doesn't work. I learnt that ISE can automatically revert to local auth provided the External Idenitity sources are unreachable. How can I test the LDAP authentication with out breaking our Admin Access? I thought of opening two parallel sessions, one with Super Admin Local Account and the other with Domain account. But I noticed that ISE communication is smart enough to logoff/login any other sessions in different browsers so basically I can't open two parallel sessions from same machine to do the tests. Suggestions? or Am I missing something here?
Many thanks in advance.Hi Srinivas,
Even if you set up LDAP as an External Identity source for admin access, you can still fallback to Internal without getting locked out. As per the ISE user guide :
During operation, Cisco ISE is designed to "fall back" and attempt to perform authentication from the internal identity database, if communication with the external identity store has not been established or if it fails. In addition, whenever an administrator for whom you have set up external authentication launches a browser and initiates a login session, the administrator still has the option to request authentication via the Cisco ISE local database by choosing "Internal" from the Identity Store drop-down selector in the login dialog.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/ise/1.1/user_guide/ise_man_identities.html#wp1351543
Please refer to the attached screenshot from my lab ISE:
I have configured admin authentication against AD, but I still see both "Internal" and "AD" at the time of login.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

Cisco ISE authentication failed because client reject certificate
Hi Experts,
I am a newbie in ISE and having problem in my first step in authentication. Please help.
I am trying to deploy a standalone Cisco ISE 1.1.2 with WLC using 802.1x authentication. The user authentication configured to be checked to ISE's internal user database for early deployment. But when the user try to authenticate, they failed with error message in ISE :
Authentication failed : 12321 PEAP failed SSL/TLS handshake because the client rejected the ISE local-certificate
I've generate a certificate for ISE using Windows Server CA and replace ISE's self-signed certificate with the new certificate but authentication still failed with the same error message. Must I generate a certificate for WLC also? Please help me in solving this problem.
