Filter RADIUS Attributes transmitted by WLC?

Afternoon all,
I've got an 8510 on the latest 7.6.120.0 software and I have a standard WPA2/802.1x Wireless LAN. When Users authenticate we send their traffic off to a RADIUS Server, but when we do, the WLC includes all sorts of superfluous RADIUS attributes in the request (various things like default VLAN ID and all sorts of Cisco Airespace bits)
The RADIUS Server we're using can't filter these attributes out, so I'd like to find a way of having the WLC not send them in the first place... Any suggestions?
Cheers,
Richard

Hi Richard,
As far as I know you cannot do anything on WLC to stop this.
Did you speak to TAC and ask about this ? Not sure any hidden commands to do this though.

Radius Attributes Supported by WLC? Guest bandwidth limiting

Hello all..
I've seen several mentions of limited guest user traffic usage by QoS settings and policy maps.. But my issue with this is, it's a global setting for that SSID. In my case, I have a 'Submit' button our Guest Internet page that does a hidden login of the user Guest. In the past, I would apply a sesion time out of 3hours and limit the bandwidth by quite a bit. However, for vendors and visitors that come in, there was a login section that they could input their uesr/pass given to them by the helpdesk and with radius attributes have an extended time out with greater bandwidth. However, I haven't been able to get this to work on the Controller based service, other then the time-out attribute. Is anyone doing it this way? What attributes does the WLC support?

Have you looked at the v4.2 code? You can create different QoS Roles, and then assign different people to different roles.
I've never tried this through RADIUS though.
Regards,
Richard

WLC - Filter-Id attribute

Hello,
Does the WLC support Identity Based Networking, just like the Catalyst switches do on the wired network ?
Currently, we have a Microsoft AAA server that is able to pass a Filter-Id attribute to our Catalyst switches, specifying an ACL number to apply to the user's switchport. The Catalyst switches receive this Filter-Id attribute in the RADIUS response packet and apply the specified ACL to the switchport.
We are trying to achieve the same feature on our wireless network: A wireless client authenticatates to the AAA server and the AAA server replies with a RADIUS Accept message to the WLC. Is the WLC capable of understanding and applying Filter-Id attributes (referencing to already configured ACL's on the WLC) ?
TIA,
Joris

Yes, the controller supports identity-based networking and you can apply ACLs via the VSA's but you may need to load the Airespace VSA's to the IAS server for this to work.

What attributes are shared between a Radius Server and a WLC?

I have a customer who is trying to setup a Radius server to authenticate Management users for the controller,
she is using a Microsoft NPS R2 server. All good at this point.
She needs to know what attributes are shared between the server and the WLC to complete the authentication
because she is being successfully authenticated, but still unable to access the WLC.
Someone knows what those attributes are?
The only information at the moment that I found, was on a document that said that different management
users can receive different Vendor-specific Attributes. That means that the returned attributes to the WLC
will depend of what radius server model or platform you are using.

Robin,
For using Microsoft radius to authenticate management users, you can reference this document, which shows you the steps involved.

[Cisco ACS] 11036 The Message-Authenticator RADIUS attribute is invalid

Hi,
I got many Cisco AP which are linked to 2 Cisco WLC.
On each WLC, I configured a primary and a secondary RADIUS Server.
RADIUS servers are Cisco ACS 5.2.0.26 (patch 10)
Primary and secondary ACS configurations are synchronized.
There are no problem between primary WLC and Cisco ACS (primary and secondary).
When secondary WLC requests primary Cisco ACS, I get this error "11036 The Message-Authenticator RADIUS attribute is invalid"
Secondary WLC automatically contacts secondary Cisco ACS and it works fine.
Cisco ACS description for this error: "This maybe because of mismatched Shared Secrets."
The two Cisco ACS are synchronized so I should have same error on them...
Why does primary ACS generate this error?
Thanks for your help,
Patrick

*Please rate helpful posts*
Yes. That is a good point.
With 7.3 you can use high availability (HA) between two WLCs and you can configure only one WLC (the primary) and all the configuraiotn can be replicated and synched to the other WLC (the secondary).
The two WLCs in the HA must be on same subnet though. Otherwise hot-standby HA between WLCs can't be used.

Apply QoS profile using RADIUS attributes

Hi all,
Anyone delved into the use of RADIUS attributes to apply QoS values (DSCP/802.1p) to wireless users via a WLC?
With the emergence of ISE and the concept of a shared SSID for several user types I may want to apply QoS profiles by user rather than SSID.
Do you need to apply the maximum value to the SSID for the attribute-derived value to work?
Can non-WMM client traffic be marked using this approach?
Plenty to think about here...
Any discussion welcome!
Cheers
Rob

Yo can apply QoS RADIUS override.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6307/products_tech_note09186a0080870334.shtml
Yes it would be best to apply the wlan max qos value to the level that you intend to use with the radius override. for example if you want to apply platinum qos for voice clients on the ssid, i would map the wlan to platinum qos.
i am not sure on the next question. I think u can assign a DSCP/802.1p to a non WMM clients but I dont think the non wmm clients will benefit from it as they will not tag their traffic and hence the AP and subsequently the wired network will treat it as best effort (untagged).
Thanks,

PPPoX Virtual-Template assignment via Radius Attribute

I'd like to optionally apply ACLs to PPP users (PPPoX). I see two strategies: a) apply an ACL directly via radius attributes or b) define the ACL in the Virtual-Template on the BRAS and determine the Virtual-Template ID via radius attribute. Has anyone done this? If so, any suggestions on the best way to move forward? I think I'd prefer option B as I could also use it to assign VRFs etc (one Virtual-Template per VRF).
TIA

The only way I could get this to work is have the ACS server reference an ACL configured on the switch via name or number and send in the filter-id attribute. On the switch I configured the default setting for attribute 11 to apply inbound "
radius-server attribute 11 default direction in". If you do a "sh authentication sessions interface gx/x" it'll show the filter-ID setting but if you do a "show ip interface gx/x" it still shows the default-acl being applied. It works, just a bit confusing because of that default-acl still showing up. Anyone else experience the same?

Error Message in Query Filter on attribute of 0MATERIAL filters charac.

Hi All,
i have a query with few variables , i used navigational attributes of 0material......
I am getting the below Warning Message... Ineed to supress the below Error Message....
Please let me know the solution...
Error Message: Filter on attribute of 0MATERIAL filters charac. values without master data
Diagnosis
Currently, it cannot be guaranteed that SIDs and master data exists for all characteristic attributes for the DataStore object to be read.
There is a restriction on a navigation attribute of the listed characteristic in the query. This filters all characteristic values of the master-data bearing characteristic for which there is not yet master data out of the result.
For performance reasons, this filtering is unavoidable.
System Response
Procedure
In case of doubt, find other restirctions directly on the characteristic values of the characteristics contained in the DataStore object.
Procedure for System Administration
Notification Number DBMAN 345
Thanks All

Dear all SAP Gurus,
we've solved this problem and this is the solution:
The warning is triggered by the method CL_RSDRV_ODS_QUERY-PROCESS_SFC_WITH_ATR when the BExFlag of the InfoProvider is not set. Using DSOs for direct update there is no change to change the BExFlag. As a result queries based on a DSO for direct update always throw the above mentioned warning when filter-characteristics are attributes.

ISE 1.2 rejects RADIUS messages from 5508 WLC

The setup in ref is:
WLC 5508 HA pair running 7.6 talking to ISE 1.2 patch 7 (was 6).
Wireless users are authenticated fine, so the 5508 is a valid NAD in ISE, but...
When I setup active RADIUS fallback, so that the WLC can poll the ISE servers I get the message:
"The RADIUS request from a non-wireless device was dropped because the installed license is for wireless devices only"
Why would ISE drop a RADIUS message from a WLC which is a wireless device? Surely this is a mistake?

Hi Nicholas,
This is a known defect.
CSCug34679 ISE drop keep alive coming from WLC.
Symptom:
ISE drops keep alive authentications coming from the WLC, with message 11054 Request from a non-wireless device due to installed wireless license.
Conditions:
When only a wireless license is install on the ISE and using active keep alive on the WLC.
Workaround:
Use passive keep alive on the WLC and not active.

Cisco 2960-X & ISE accounting- username Radius attribute missing

Hi,
I'm facing an issue with cisco 2960 switch radius accounting with Cisco ISE1.2.1 .here is my senario:
- Username (vendor1) is configured in ISE local database, under group (VENDOR)
- Authentication protocol : wired MAB
- Authentication method : webauth using guest portal , the user is a vendor , so no dot1x configured on his NIC .
the problem is that , the switch is not sending the username as a part of radius attribute , in the authentication log , the username shown as the MAC address of the user machine , therefor , I can not configure my authorization condition using internaluser:Name Equal vendor1
while if I configure the condition using the identity group condition IdentityGroup:Name Equal VENDOR , it works .
The same configuration is working on 3750 switch with no issue .
Here is my Switch config:
aaa authentication login default local
aaa authentication dot1x default group radius
aaa authorization network default group radius
aaa authorization auth-proxy default group radius
aaa accounting auth-proxy default start-stop group radius
aaa accounting dot1x default start-stop group radius
aaa accounting update periodic 5

any help !!!

Thanks for your reply , I know what's MAB , if you read my explanation again , i mentioned that the user is authenticated in the guest portal which mean that I have web authentication , and it is working fine .. The only issue is that I can not use the vendor1 username as part of authorization condition and this is because the switch is not sending the radius attribute type 1 to the ISE , thus , on the ise authentication log the MAC address of the client machine is shown as a username not the actual username ( vendor1)
as I mentioned also , I have exactly the same setup with ise 1.2 and 3750 switch and I do not have this issue .I experience this with 2960x only .

Radius Attribute in authentication packet

I'm new to Radius, so bear with me.
Is it possible, or does anyone knows how to make use of the vendor specific attribute sent in the authentication request. What I'm looking at is that based on the value of a specific VSA, the value of another radius attribute is set and sent in the authentication response.

More information on Radius Vendor-specific attribute (VSA) is given in the document.

Cisco ISE throws "11036 The Message-Authenticator RADIUS attribute is invalid "

Hello,
I am trying to authenticate my server(running an NMS) with an Cisco ISE with EAP-TLS protocol.
I am seeing "11036 The Message-Authenticator RADIUS attribute is invalid " in the ISE when the ACCESS-REQUEST is sent from NMSServer to ISE. The RADIUS shared secret key is same in both the NMS server and the ISE server .
Is the some java samples for Message authenticator attribute which I can refer. I think, I am missing something in Message authenticator attribute.
Any pointers or suggestions to overcome this ?

To login to Prime GUI, the authentication will be done by ISE.
The flow goes like this, Admins will login to Prime GUI with default username/pwd and add the RADIUS/ISE details to it which will be used by prime for authentication/authorization.
Once its done, any other user who tries to login to Prime GUI with their own credentials will be validated against the Identity details in ISE. So even to login to Prime GUI, authentication should be successful in ISE.

ACS 4.2 Windows Radius Attributes for VPN-dial-in

Hello,
this Situation:
Remote-User establish a VPN-Connection (AnyConnect) to a ASA 8.4, ASA forwards Authentication to ACS 4.2. , ACS should assign IP-Adress from a Adress-Pool dependent on GroupMembership (LDAP)
the Problem:
the User gets an IP-Config with a Default-Gateway which is always the 3.Address of the IP-Pool (IP-Pools are /28 Ranges), the Mask is ok (/32).
On the ASA-Log I can see a Message:
%ASA-6-110002: Failed to locate egress interface for protocol from src interface:src IP/src port to dest IP/dest port
I've assigned following Attibutes:
IP Assignement: Assigned from AAA server pool (the accordant pool is selected)
IETF Radius Attributes:
006 Service Type: Framed
007 Framed Protocol: ppp
009 Framed-IP-Netmask: 255.255.255.255
(not sure about) 022 Framed-Route: 0.0.0.0
025 Class: <Group-Policy of ASA>
does anyone of you know, what I'm making wrong?
on The ASA I can't find any settings.
Thanks for any advice

O'Brien Simon
Did you manage to get a reply to your question about the timeout period for dynamic users in ACS 4.2 ? As this is what I was about to ask but noticed your post.
Many thanks

ACS 5.1 RADIUS Proxy - Adding RADIUS attributes

Is there anyway under ACS 5.1 to add RADIUS attributes to outgoing RADIUS proxy auth requests or failing this to RADIUS proxy accounting updates?
As soon as I configure a RADIUS proxy services, there is little config I can do other than to say whether or not the prefix and suffix is to be stripped.
I can add these attributes if using an external RADIUS box as an identity store, but I cannot do this for this particular service and instead I need to use RADIUS proxying.
Thanks
Paul

Hi Steve,
The shared secret is 100% correct.
Finally I find out that there may be some white lists for attributes.
If I keep NAS-Identifier , it will work.
But it can't pass all VSA (3GPP sub-attributes) , it only shows one or three in BOTH ACS and RADIUS Server.
The other is the RADIUS VSA User Define Options (which is in SA > C > D > P > RADIUS > RADIUS VSA > Edit ) .
When 'Vendor Length Field Size' changes to 0 , All sub-attributes pass thought ACS .
The RADIUS Server gets the message from NSA.
Of course, there is the Proxy-State attribute.
In this condition, the ACS has incorrect output in the sub-attribute.
Now I try 5.2 to see the problem exist or not.

ACS 5.5 Radius Attribute not listed in Radius Directory

Hello Community,
iam on the evaluation on Cisco ACS 5.5, and iam trying some scenarios for my company.
I have to authenticate a ip phone . here i need one VLan tagged and one vlan untagged.
In the authorization profile u can add the Radius Attributes, we got hp switches and i need the attribute with the ID-56, but this ID ist not listed in the Authorization Profiles--> Radius Attributes-->select Part.
But it is listed under system-administration->Configuration-->dictionaries-->Protocols->Radius--> Radius IETF
come somebody tell me how i can selct this Attributes under Authorization Profiles--> Radius Attributes-->select Part. ??
Thanks a lot
regards

Hi
As you are using HP switches, certain advanced use cases, such as those that involve posture assessment, profiling, and web authentication, are not consistently available with non-Cisco devices or may provide limited functionality, and are therefore not supported with non-Cisco devices.
