Failed attempts on radius from a strange user

Hello all,
I have ACS server 4.2 and I have noticed that there are too many failed attempts from usernames just like:
[email protected]
[email protected]
The number before the "@" changes for different users! (I am not ev
I tried to search for those I noticed it is something related to using 3G networks over Wi-Fi!!
I am not familiar with this technology (if my undrestanding about thi is correct).
I just want to know what type of devices would possibly use this feature (what mobile phones vendors for example) and how to stop it (configure it correctly on the end station).
apprecaite your help.

Thanks Mohammad for your quick reply.
I already know that failed attempt is due improper configuratoin on client. failure code in ACS is "EAP type not configured". Those stations -that high likely a mobile phones - usually use EAP-SIM which is not even supported by our ACS.
EAP-SIM configuration by default has "User name in Use" configured as "From SIM card". This is why we possibly seeing those.
Tracking the device is very difficult due to users are mobile and there are too many users around in same area/areas.
I just now successfully isolated that all devices reported this are Nokia devices!! Now it is easier to go to some area and ask about those who have Nokia phones rather than checking everyone's phone.
Thanks ya m3almi.

How to find out from whcih terminal user tried logging in and failed

Hello All,
One of the user is trying to login using master userid (SAP* / DDIC).. But he is failing after three attempts resulting in locking the SAP* / DDIC user id.
We are unable to trace who is attempting this? If we know from which terminal user is trying to login we can find out the person.
Even in SM21 we are unable to see from which terminal user is trying to login..(We can see the terminal clearly in SM04). Could you please suggest us how to trace the person responsible for this issue?
Thanks,
Subbu

Hi,
The terminal details can be obtained through securiy audit logging.
You can enable to Security logging for the users SAP*/DDIC using the tcode SM19 and the logs can be viewed using the tcode SM20.
To to activate the security audit logging you need to set the value '1' for the parameter rsau/enable. The log file size can be set using the parameter rsau/max_diskspace/local. You can set the number of slots to be used for security auditing purpose using the profile parameter rsau/selection_slots in the default profile.
Hope this information helps.

Aaa max failed attempts/RADIUS

Is there an aaa command or server command that limits the maximum number of failed attempts one can try before getting cut off. I note there is one for local. but I fail to find one that applies to aaa that is auth against radius. am I missing somthing or does this not exist.
Or will I have to use aaa accounting, and work this out on my radius server/database schema. anyway, I would
rather not have to work through the details that way, I would prefer there be a way to do this via IOS....this is IOS 12.3 not pix/asa
Thanks for the help!
cg

have you tried, this command,
aaa authentication attempts login number-of-attempts
By default, if user fails authentication (no authorization), then user is allowed 3 attempts. This can be changed using above command.
In above case I am talking about administrative authentication to the device.

Constant Failed Attempts from ASYNC ports

Our ACS 4.2 Failed Attempts log is being filled by "noise" on the async (tty0/tty1) from both our routers and switches. We have modems attached to our routers primarily on the console ports, in addition we have the aux port of our router connected to the console port of our LAN switch so we can reverse telnet into the switch. Both router & switch are TACACs enabled. In the user-name field of the ACS log, we get "noise" such as "interface up and down", "Press RETURN to get started", which the authen-failure-code indicates invalid characters or "ACS user unknown" in username field. What would cause this? I know misconfigured modems can cause echo issues but why a switch console port?

Dan/Greg,
This issue occurs when terminal server device (like c2509, c2511 or other) connect to it and which is sending junk to console or aux lines of the Router/Switch.
What may happen wrong with Terminal Server config:
= Incorrect speed for the line (which is connected to console of the router)
= possibly "exec" is running on that line on Terminal Server, thus sending unexpected prompt to the router console/aux.
When you want to allow only an outgoing connection on a line, use the *no**exec* command.The *no exec* command allows you to disable the EXEC process for connections which may attempt to send unsolicited data to the router.
(For example, the control port of a rack of modems attached to an auxiliary port of router.) When certain types of data are sent to a line connection, an EXEC process can start, which makes the line unavailable.
The user will still be able to access the console of the device and be authenticated as well. This puts extra burden on ACS and you may see some latency with legitimate authentications.
Let me know if you have any question.

~JG

*EDIT*
A few other things to note. In the RDS GUI it shows his machine as "stopped" even after refreshes. However HyperV has it running.

Hi,
It may be helpful to compare the RDVH log with the connection broker's log to see if there are any clues. From your description it appears the RDCB's state is getting out of sync. For example, the broker thinks the VM is stopped when it is not.
Have you tried just restarting the broker service instead of the entire server? That may be enough to trigger it to refresh.
-TP
No i have not tried that but i will next time.... Assuming it happens before Thursday night.
This might be completely unreleated but i am getting spammed with this message on my RDVH

Strange username in failed attempt log in ACS

I have an access point configured to use dot1x (MS-PEAP) which authenticates against ACS. Everything work fine, but there are some strange logs appearing in failed attempts. I think it is some sort of misinterpretation in ACS.
My ACS is 4.1
My access point is AIR-AP1231G version 12.3
I also have attached the logs. Hope anyone can help me clarify this.

This document provides a sample configuration for LEAP or MAC authentication.
Note: This guide assumes the most basic configuration. It does not cover configuration of more advanced encryption modes such as Cisco Key Integrity Protocol (CKIP) and Cisco Centralized Key Management (CCKM).

Unknown User in "Failed Attempts" Log

The "Failed Attempts" log on the ACS 4.1 began showing entries that I do not understand. The backend is Active Directory.
Basically, the entry it is in this format:
date,time,authen failed,foreigndomain\user,localadmingroupname,callerid,External DB user invalid or bad password,... etc.
This is what I don't understand: It appears that the "foreigndomain\user" entry must be a foreign device that is trying to authenticate to our wireless environment (PEAP). But why is it showing the group name as our ACS administrators group!? Shouldn't it see the "foreigndomain\user" as another group like "Default Group"? I have the "\Default" group mapping set to "Default Group".
Thank you.

we have a similar thing occur when a group mapping cannot be found, it logs the failed attempt against the first group in ACS.
Is "group 1" named "ACS administrators"?
I don't think it means much as I assume group mapping only occurs if an authentication attempt is successful?? It seems there is bug in that ACS needs to put something in the log entry for group and so uses the first group name rather than N/A, blank, or something to that effect.

ACS v5.1 - Can internal users be disabled after x failed attempts?

I have noticed under authentication settings for internal user accounts there is no setting to disable the account after x number of failed attempts (ACS v5.1). This is such a fundamental requirement for user accounts that I am wondering whether I have missed something. (They include this option on Administration accounts)
Does anyone know if can this be set somewhere else or is Cisco going to implement it in a later version?
Many Thanks

Hello jrabinow ,
Thanks a lot for the reply .
We already have our AD setup to lock account of users who failed 3 consecutive windows login attempts .
However when network administrators fail to login after 3 consecutive attempts into a network device, they can still login into a network device if they provide their correct AD credentials .
Is there any specific configuration that needs to be done on the AD to be aware of the failed login attempts on the network devices and count it the same as a failed windows login attempt ?!
Kind Regards ,
Moussa

RADIUS from Aironet 1231 - enable fails

Hi all,
we have an ACS server (3.3)
which we use for Login and Enable authentication for all our routers & switches without any problems.
I am setting up an Aironet 1231G with IOS 12.3(7)JA
I am able to get the login to authenticate OK, but when you try to enable, it returns "REJECTED".
the ACS Failed Attempts.csv shows the following:
06/09/2005 15:59:00 Authen failed $enab15$ .. .. External DB auth failed .. .. 0 10.139.251.201
Can anyone please tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Aironet Startup-config is attached
Many Thanks.

Thanks for the response, but Tacacs didn't work either.
We eventually figured it out.. we'd missed off the
aaa authentication enable default group radius enable
command.
added this and all was well.
Cheers,
Nick

HT1338 Attempt to install Mountain Lion has highlighted need for internal disk repair. Even after "repair" ML still says disk is damaged. Attempt to restore from Time Machine back-up failed - cannot 'see' internal HD to restore to. Help!

Attempt to install Mountain Lion has highlighted need for internal disk repair. Even after "repair" ML still says disk is damaged. Attempt to restore from Time Machine back-up failed - cannot 'see' internal HD to restore to. Help! Has attempt to install ML caused these problems or just highlighted existing need to Repair Disk? Even so, why can back-up from Time Machine not see the internal drive to restore to?

Csound1, William & Sig .... thanks for taking the trouble to reply. I fear you are right - I'll need a new disk. I'm booked in at the Apple Genius Bar in Bordeaux, France on Wed ... quite a challenge as my French isn't great! The current internal disk is 500gb, does anyone know whether I can upgrade my 21.5" iMac (circa Oct-2009 vintage) to a larger size internal disk, 1Tb or even 2Tb? I already have one external 2Tb drive and another one on order (I have masses of media stored and more planned as I've just taken up photography). Seems a bit of a pain managing with only 500gb internal storage. OR, can you advise me on how I can store all my photos on my new 2Tb external drive - I can't seem to figure out how to set the path for iPhoto to see them (I can't even figure out where they are stored right now!). Same with iTunes, how do I set the default storage to the external drive (I moved everything manually and then imported them all from the new drive - it worked but seemed very convoluted). Any advice on how to manage multiple drives gratefully received. And thanks again for previous replies.

How can I reset my access passcode w/o having ever synced the device before? I don't remember it and now the ipad is "disabled" from too many failed attempts.

How can I reset my access passcode without having ever synced the device before? I don't remember my passcode and now the ipad is "disabled" from too many failed attempts.

You will need to reset the iPad back to factory defaults : iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled

Help: Exit the FORM when user makes failed attempt to logon

Hi,
In this application, I added a on-logon trigger with a line:
logon(' ','@DB-CONN');
DB-CONN is the default database connection string.
What I really want to add is every failed logon attempt will be given and the 3rd failed attempt will kick the user out.
Right now, I have the problem that even user clicks CANCEL button, the form will be started without DB connection. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Multiple failed attempts to open PDF file from Windows Explorer by double clicking

Hi,
The configuration of my system is: Windows 7 SP1 x64, Adobe Reader 11.0.10.32.
When double clicking on PDF file or trying Open with Adobe Reader IX in context menu in Windows Explorer or any other file manager, the Adobe Reader opens only after few attempts. At each failed attempt the new AcroRd32.exe process arises. And only after few attempts the file opens! As a result, i see multiple empty AcroRd32.exe processes in Task Manager, each take about 4000 Kb of RAM and the only one file opened. I'm forced to kill those empty processes manually, because they are not killed when closing Adobe Reader window.
I found the same problem on another PC with the same configuration.
Best,
Alexei

Hi Alexei,
Could you please let me know for how long have you started facing this issue.
Open TEMP folder (Press Windows + R and type %temp%) and delete all the files in it.
Does this happen with any specific PDF or all PDFs?
You might try disabling Protected Mode by opening Reader and going to "Edit > Preferences > Security (Enhanced)"
Let me know how it goes.

Anubha

Failed to get configuration from secure gateway. Contact your system administrator.

I have an ASA 5515 running 9.1(1).
One of my customers is attempting to connect with AnyConnect 3.1.02040 and after authenticating, he gets the message

Since it appears to be localized to his PC, he's uninstalled and reinstall the client, but to no avail. He's using Windows 7 Pro.

i had this problem. for me the cause had to do with internet explorer TLS settings.
in IE8 go to tools, internet options, advanced and under security I had to make sure Use TLS 1.0 was checked (only Use SSL 3.0 and Use TLS 1.1 were checked. I left them checked.).
