Custormizing the NAC agent profile

Hi,
We need to have very minimal user intervention while doing the completing the posture part on NAC agent on user PC.
Can someone please advise how to achieve the below task.
1) Automatically accept the Network usage policy before its timeout (50 sec) expired (if the timeout expired it will go to "Deny Network Access" state as it assume that clicking "Reject" button (attached screen1)
2) we need to keep all the posture pop-up, verification timings.
Thanks

Hi,
Currently this isn't possible. If you have an account team, please ping them to get this added to the feature request list.

ISE - NAC agent profile

Dears
I want to deploy NAC agent via GPO and I need to create agent profile , I know how to create it on ISE but how i get the file in xml format to be distributed ?

You can try installing only one PC (either by manual installation or by captive portal). If you have configured the posture rules in ISE then the NAC Agent automatically contacts the ISE server and downloads the last NACAgentcfg.xml available.
Then you could browse the following directory and find the NACAgentcfg.xml file in your PC.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Cisco\Cisco NAC Agent
After that you can mass deploy the NAC agent along with the xml file. Although is not mandatory to deploy the xml file because as a I said, every time there's a posture rule the NAC agent will download the last NACAgentcfg.xml available from ISE server.
Please rate if it helps.

Getting the NAC agent out of the system tray.

I am installing a NAC solution for a customer and they don't want users to have the NAC agent in the sytem tray. Is there any way to do this because they are pretty adamant about it.

Cisco ISE NAC agent and Microsoft roaming profiles

Hi there,
I have installed Identity services engine version 1.1.3 in didstributed mode. The NAC agent is installed on the end user PC joined to the domain. when a user with a roaming profile logs into the PC, the NAC agent fails to run posture assesment, but if a user with non-roaming profile logs in, the NAC agent does posture and full network access is granted.
Is there something i need to do to enable the NAC agent to perform posture for users with a roaming profile.
Regards,
Henry

Hello,
I found the following from the cicso doc. Hope it helps!
The following failure scenarios might cause the Cisco NAC Agent to appear following successful user authentication when the client machine roams between CASs in Layer 3 (both In-Band and Out-of-Band) and Layer 2 /Layer 3 Out-of-Band environments. Erroneous Agent login dialogs could also appear if users roam from the Cisco NAC Appliance network in Layer 3 mode to a non-NAC network:
–ARP poisoning
–Temporary loss of network connection between the client machine and the CAS
–Access to untrusted interface IP address on the CAS from non-NAC network segments on NAC-enabled client machines
Cisco offers the following recommendations to prevent this situation:
–Ensure all trusted networks (post-authentication) can reach the CAS untrusted interface IP address through the CAS trusted interface only
–Block discovery packets from all non-NAC networks to the CAS untrusted interface IP address (discovery packets that arrive on the trusted interface of the CAS are blocked by default)
For more information please refer to the following link:

Anybody know the Roadmap for combining NAC Agent and Cisco AnyConnect?

Heard a rumor that Cisco is going to combine the functionality of the NAC Agent and Cisco AnyConnect as far as being an 802.1x supplicant, does anyone have any information about this? Like is it true and if so, any idea when it will happen?

Hi ,
There is no comitted plan for NAC and Anyconnect integration. But Anyconnect now comes with a module called NAM ( network access module) which can do dot1x as well.
Here is the link for that :

NAC Agent Login Dialog Not Appearing - ISE 1.1.1 issue ?

Agent Fails to Initiate Posture Assessment
The NAC agent is properly installed on a Windoes 7 , IE 9 machine, the certificates from ISE ADM PRI are installed in trustable certificate store in the client machine but is a selfsigned ISE certificate.
The reports / USER / Profiling report says the Provisioning Agent has completed the assessment ok.
The redirected URL is working fine (SEE Evidence)
We are always prompted to install the NAC agent again or looking at the additional prompted information wait for the NAC agent to load and complete.
The operations status remains with postering status pending forever and nothing else happens.
Symptoms or Issue
The agent login dialog box does not appear to the user following client provisioning.
Conditions Cisco Says this issue can generally take place during the posture assessment phase of any user
authentication session.
Cisco Advises as Possible Causes There are multiple possible causes for this type of issue. See the following
Resolution descriptions for details of what was already tested by us and please see the atached files for your switch configuration and evidences. .
CISCO SUGGESTED POSSIBLE CAUSES AND RESOLUTIONS
Resolution • Ensure that the agent is running on the client machine. ALL TESTED OK
• Ensure that the Cisco IOS release on the switch is equal to or more recent than
Cisco IOS Release 12.2.(53)SE. - OK
• Ensure that the discovery host address on the Cisco NAC agent or Mac OS X
agent is pointing to the Cisco ISE FQDN. (Right-click on the NAC agent icon,
choose Properties, and check the discovery host.) - OK (See evidence)
• Ensure that the access switch allows Swiss communication between Cisco ISE
and the end client machine. Limited access ACL applied for the session should
allow Swiss ports: ALL CONFIGURED as CISCO GUIDELINES OK (SEE EVIDENCE)
• If the agent login dialog still does not appear, it could be a certificate issue.
Ensure that the certificate that is used for Swiss communication on the end client
is in the Cisco ISE certificate trusted list. (ALL CHECKED OK SEE EVIDENCE)
• Ensure that the default gateway is reachable from the client machine. (TESTED OK)

Hi.
Can you paste all the ACLs on your switch especially the webauth redirect ACL which should deny traffic towards the PSN.

Is it possible to run Posture using ISE 1.2 without NAC Agent provisioning?

Is it possible to run Posture using ISE 1.2 without NAC Agent provisioning?
-My customer does not want to push NAC Agent installation on BYOD type of computers (non-managed by the company computers).
-The requirement is to check for posture only company owned wired, wireless, and VPN connected Windows computers. The rest of the endpoints should be considered as posture incompliant, and limited access to the network should be allowed.
-No certificates are used.
-I’ve configured the required posture check, and it all works fine if a PC has NAC Agent manually installed (without ISE Client Provisioning). However, when I use a PC without NAC Agent, it is redirected to Client Provisioning Portal and is stuck there as Client Provisioning is deliberately not configured in ISE.
-If I remove Posture Remediation Authorization Profile that does URL redirect, the posture does not work.
-For now I'm testing it on wired endpoints.
Is there a way to configure ISE to fulfill the listed above requirements?
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Val Rodionov

Everyone who finds reads this article,
I'm answering my own quesiton "Is it possible to run Posture using ISE 1.2 without NAC Agent provisioning?"
The answer is Yes.
After doing research and configuration testing I came up with a solution, and it works fine for wired and VPN connections. I expect it to work on wireless endpoints as well.
ISE configuration:
Posture General Settings - Default Posture Status = NonCompliant
Client Provisioning Policy - no rules defined
Posture Policy - configured per requirements
Client Provisioning (under Administration > Settings) - Enable Provisioning = Enable (it was disabled in my first test)
Authorization Policies configured as regular posture policies
The result:
After successful dot1x authentication posture redirect happens. If the PC does not have NAC Agent preinstalled, the browser is redirected to Client Provisioning Portal and a default ISE message is displayed (ISE is not able to apply and access policy... wait one minute and try to connect again...). At the same time, the endpoint is assigned NonCompliant posture status and proper authorization policy is applied. This is what I wanted to achieve.
If NAC Agent was preinstalled on the PC, after successful dot1x authentication the NAC Agent pops up and performs posture check. If posture is successful, posture compliant authorization policy is applied. If posture check fails, NonCompliant posture status is assigned and posture non-compliant authorization policy is applied. Which is the expected and needed result.
The only part that is not perfect it the message displayed to the end-user when posture is about to fail. I did not find a place to change the text of that message. I might need to open TAC case, so this file can be manually found and edited from CLI (root access).
Best,
Val Rodionov

ISE nac Agent automatic upgrade possible ?

Hello all,
I have this :
802.1x windows with NacAgent version (let's say 1) <----> 802.1x Enabled Switch (aaa radius OK) <------> ISE and AD on the same LAN
ISE is configured for client provisionning with material (NacAgent version 2) downloaded from Cisco website (as depicted in the documentation)
I've a basic authentication and authorization scheme that let me in properly but I expect the NACAgent to be upgraded.
No profiling is configured for the time being.
Is anybody can help ?
Best regards ?

Hi Tarik,
Your are right regarding that option "upgrade is mandatory"
However, my case was that you do need to enter the ISE's FQDN on the NAC Client and make sure that DNS operates properly.
Once authenticated, the NAC agent shows an upgrade message.
It works.
Thank you all.

NAC Agent does not pop up after psn fails.

So I'm in the middle of a deployment where I have 4 ISE appliances, two in one location and two in another location.
The first location has 2 with all personas installed, whereas the other two are only PSN. In each area, NAC agent pops up normally after connecting/swapping to wired or wireless networks. During HA tests I have encountered that when the two ISE from the remote area fail (shutdown switch port for testing of course) the client does get authenticated but it stays in the POSTURE_REQ state on wireless and the Agent fails to pop up.
- I have tried forcing the servers on the profile on ISE (provisioning) and I can see how it is somehow updated on the xml configuration file in the remote endpoint but still the nac agent wont pop up.
- Increased timeout timers also, no luck.
- Reinstalled NAC agent manually and by ise auto provisioning, no luck.
- Ran a wireshark capture and saw requests sent to the default GW with the positron thing but never get an answer, but then I try connecting to the ISE manually https://(ADMIN_NODE_FAR_FROM_ENDPOINT)/guestportal/gateway?sessionId=(gibberish)&action=cpp and it works, so it is reachable from the endpoint
I believe there is some kind of sync problem, my ISE are in UTC time and NADs have local timezone, but then why does it work locally??
Any thoughts on this?
Thank you for all your kind help

You have done a reset. What does that mean? Did you reset all settings?
Settings>General>Reset>Reset all Settings. You will have to enter all device settings again.

Cisco ISE NAC Agent RDP session

Is there a way to get the NAC Agent to run when a user logs on a Windows machine in a RDP session?

You have to go and check the dACL that is part of authorization profile, you will find that it is blocking your RDP access as when you do a remote desktop your authentication token is host/machine-name.domain. Now, the easiest FIX to permit RDP traffic is to modify the dACL but this won't solve your problem. Why? Because now your dACL will allow you do a remote desktop now BUT it will block rest of your communication.
So either you permit all as soon as your machine is authenticated or you will continue to face this issue.

Cisco NAC Agent 4.9.1.682 Problems with Mac Os X 10.7.4

Hi
My Cisco NAC Agent (version 4.9.1.682) doesn't work since I upgraded my Mac OS X 4 months ago, This happens every time with CISCO and MAC when there is a new update and it always seems to take forever to fix.
The NAC agent just keeps asking for my login in details even though there are correct (I can log in with a PC no problem).
Any update on when a new version is going to be released - Its getting really frustrating?

I figured out a solution that works you must disable Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) on the affected system. To do this :
    Open Keychain Access. Keychain Access can be found by selecting Go in the Finder and choosing the Utilities option. Keychain access should be listed in the folder that appears. Double-click the Keychain Access icon to open it.
    Select Keychain Access -> Preferences from the menu at the top of the screen
    Choose the Certificates tab
    Change the OCSP option from Best Effort to Off
    Close the Preferences dialog and quit Keychain Access
    You should be able to NAC now

NAC AGENT - DISCOVERY HOST IP ADDRESS with AD

Hi,
We have deployed a Cisco NAC Agent in our network with GPO update... The deployment model is L3 OOB / Real IP Gateway.
The issue is that, we need to put the IP address in each host manually to start communicating with Cisco NAC Manager.
Is there any way to make it automatic?
Regards,
Mubasher

Hi Mubashir,
I faced the same problem with cisco ISE and Tiago's response actually helped see below.
" You can also distribute the NACAgentCFG.xml file with that value set.
Please find here detailed info regarding this file:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/nac/appliance/configuration_guide/48/cam/m_agntd.html#wp1348376. "
In that link, read the section: Agent Customization Settings
From a NAC agent that has successfully been deployed with the IP configured , go to the NAC agent installation folder
C:\Program Files (x86)\Cisco\Cisco NAC Agent , and copy the NACAgentCFG.xml , open with wordpad and edit the line
IP of PDP node or ISE standalone server
Then place the edited NACAgent.xml file in the same folder as the one where your GPO will pick the agent from. When the Agent is installed , it automatically picks the configs from the .xml file.

Henry

NAC Agent reporting never shows a failure

I seem to only get reports for successful agent logins under Device MGMT>Clean Access>Clean Access Agent>Reports. Am I missing a setting somewhere? Even though I have had many failures (testing, etc) I never see a failed report. Any ideas?

Hello,
Could you please confirm what error message you are getting on the NAC agent (if using the NAC agent for posture validation)? The NAC agent will display the standard stuff such as 'temporary access', etc. The message displayed is based upon which requirement is failing, for example a standard AV installation check/rule.
Also, for this failing client, do you see a passed report or no report at all? Well, for the agents that ultimately pass posture assessment (even if a particular check/rule fails) we see a passed report. If the agent never gains access, IE never gets out of 'Temporary Access' we don't see any report. I am hoping that when a Agent fails posture assessment we will see a failed report. IE, we need a way for the service desk to be able to monitor failed sessions proactively, and with the minimal external alerts available (no email, etc) these failed reports would be key.
If we can't see no report at all, there may be something that breaks before that. I have pages and pages of successful reports, but not a single failed report.
A quick way to verify would be to collect the NAC agent's logs after a failure, under
Start > Program Files > Cisco > Client Utilities > Cisco Log Packager I don't see this installed on any of the machines with an agent? Please adivse where I can download it. Thanks.

ISE 1.2 nac agent provision

Hi,
Is there any way to do a nac agent auto provision?
I know it can be achieve by cwa portal(web redirect) and user have to install nac agent manually. But we would like to see nac agent be installed right afeter user successfully login using 802.1x.

I dont follow your thought process but this is how i have most of my deployments are setup.
CWA < NSP < COA < 802.1x < Posture Status Unknown *In this state either client does or doesnt have nac agent in which ISE will proceed to install it or continue probing to for the NAC agent.
Remove CWA < NSP < COA from the picture and you have your exact scenario. What is your work flow look like that it is not "automatic" and define what you mean by "manually"?

NAC Agent and NSP provisioning with ISE 1.1.1

I am trying to get all workstations (OSX and Windows) to install both the Native Supplicant Wizard and NAC Agent during the On-boarding process.
I am currently using the default guest portal in ISE.
The environment has been setup using a Dual SSID design.
At the moment, devices can connect to the provisioning SSID and get CWA. Device registration works, the portal runs the NSP setup which correctly sets up the network adapter.
The problem is the portal never attempts to install the NAC Agent.
The client provisioning policy has a separate policies for wireless/wired as well as OS. Each policy applies both a NSP and NAC Agent configuration. It appears the guest portal only checks the NSP configuration and not the NAC Agent config.
Any ideas?

Just so i understand this correctly you are using both a client provisioning portal and a native supplicant provisoning portal tied into seperate authz policies.
With that out of the way are you checking to see if the client is compliant in the client provisioning portal policy.
Let me know if you have the following configured (example windows OS), this is assuming that the endpoint is statically assigned to RegisteredDevices after native suppliant provisioning.
Rule 0 (endpoint group = RegisteredDevice) AND (AD:Domain user and authentication method:x509 and posturestatus:COMPLIANT) = Permit Access
Rule 1 (endpoint group = RegisteredDevice) AND (AD:domain user AND authentication method:x509[if you deployed certs in the native supp condition] AND workstation NOT EQUAL:COMPLIANT) RESULT client provisioning portal.
Rule 2 (endpoint group = Workstation) AND (AD:Domain User AND authentication mehod using mschapv2) RESULT windows provisioning portal
Hope that helps,
Tarik Admani
