ISE, Active directory and OUs

Hello Everyone
I have an ISE with an AD integration, i am trying to limit the access to the wireless users, i only added one OU "wireless users", but all the users can access to the wireless network, i just want to allow the access to the users in that OU, and block the access to the other users not included in that OU.
Other thing, i am not able to see the attributes from the directory, is this an issue with the AD?.
Regards
Israel

Just to add some information, I added the AD in the external identity sources, and i can see the OUs in the groups, i choosed the ou wireless.
Then i created an authorization compound conditions
Radius Service type: Frame
Radius Nas Port: Wireless -802.1x
and the network access equals domain/users/wireless.
I applied this in my authorization policy.
But it still does not work.

Active Directory and many OUs

Hello all,
This topic might have been talked about before but after a lot of searching I still have not found a solution, so I ask for a bit of help.
In our Active Directory there are many OUs where users are kept. There is no one top OU where you can start your search. I don't really know why it was set up this way and I don't have an option to change that. I would really like to have ou=users like most have!
So when I try to authenticate a user (I'm installing DSpace in my uni) I cannot automatically add the OU for the user trying to log in and the users themselves don't know their OU (well, why would they!).
I'm hoping there is some simple solution to this. Maybe JNDI API allows for searching in many OUs at the same time (some fixed list in the code)? Or maybe the OU is not needed at all in the search?
Any help/hints would be appreciated.
best regards, Logi

For searching, you can issue a subtree search will search through the entire subtree, irrespective of how many levels of OU's may exist, by using SearchControls.SUBTREE_SCOPE
Have a look at the tutorial at http://java.sun.com/products/jndi/tutorial/basics/directory/scope.html
For authentication, you can either get the user to enter their:
distinguished name
(cn=Albert Eirnstein, ou=Research,dc=Antipodes,dc=com), although that is not entirely user friendly
their NT style logon name (samAccountName)
ANTIPODES\alberte, more user friendly,
or their Windows 200 style logon name (userPrincipalName),
[email protected], equally as user friendly.

10.6 home directory mounting with active directory and open directory integration

Hi guys i am having some issues in my new mac environment. I have a windows network with an server 2008 active directory. I have just recentlly created a "magic triangle" setup with active directory and open directory. When my users login via windows their home folders mount perfect. When any user logs in to any iMac in the building it does not work. They login perfectly fine, but their home folders do not mount. When i try mounting them manually with smb, i get a prompt for credentials. I am thinking this is my issue, my Single sign on with kerbos is working but for some reason is not logging in correctly. If i type in my credentials with my domain first then my name it works.
For example DOMAIN\jsmith works, but the way i think the mac and active directory is doing it now is just jsmith without the DOMAIN.
I feel like this is the problem with the home folders not mounting.
Can anyone provide some help with this?
Thanks,
Dani

Hi dani190,
are you using the fully qualified domain name of the network server? ie if your server is bob. and your domain is domain.company.com. then the FQDNS would typically be bob.domain.company.com or bob.company.com.
If the FQDNS works, then have you checked in the AD to make sure the path to the network home folder uses the FQDNS?
For the contact search path, did you put the AD at the top the list? (in directory utility)
Did you set the WINS work group on your client computer to your domain?
ie:Apple Menu, System Preferences, Network, Active Network Port (ethernet and or airport) , Advanced Button, WINS Tab, set workgroup to the name of your domain. ie domain.company.com and or company.com

User synchronization issue between Active Directory and Solution manager.

Requirement:
Synchronize the users between Active directory and solution manager system.
What we did:
1. Created RFC connection (LDAP_RFC) for LDAP connector.
2. Created new LDAP connector that utilize the RFC (LDAP_RFC).
3. Created new logical LDAP Server(CUA).Here we have to maintain the connection
details to the physical directory.
4. We maintained the communication user that is used by the LDAP connector to bind the LDAP Directory Server.
5. In transaction LDAPMAP specific SAP data fields, we mapped to the desired
directory attributes.
6. Testing from LDAP transaction working fine. We are able to see the attributes and
values from Active directory.
Issue:
When executed the program RSLDAPSYNC_USER for user synchronization from t-code se38 with below selection .
LDAP Server = CUA (created earlier)
LDAP Connector = LDAP_RFC (RFC connection created created ealier)
In the tab: (Object that exist both in the directory and in the Database:)
Selected: Compare Time Stamp.
In the tab: (Objects the only exist in the Directory.)
Selected : Create in Database.
In the tab(Objects that only Exist in the Database:
Selected: Ignore Object.
Result from the report shows that connection to LDAP server is fine and 0(zero) objects in Directory.
The program does not create any new user in the Solution Manager system.
Any help on this issue greatly appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,
Harish

where did you see this error ? is there anymore details.
i think the account you are using for Sync does not have Replicate Directory Changes permission in AD. follow below article and give Replicate directory changes permission.

Store signature image in Active Directory and deploy it to each users desktop

What I am trying to achieve is to have each user a hand written signature scanned in and stored in the .jpgPhoto attribute in Active Directory and then have some sort of script, like our login script, pull that information and copy the file to the users
desktop. We are wanting to be able to allow users to apply the signature image on a signature line in Office 2010 or InfoPath forms instead of typing their name. I know there has to be a way to do this but I have not found it yet and I am
not very good at scripting. Is there anyone here that has accomplished such a task and if so, how did you go about doing it?
David Hood

We already have Outlook email signatures created from AD information deployed to all users. Someone else on my team deployed that already and it works great. But that is just basic user info pulled from fields that were manually entered in
the user account. What I want to do is have a user scribble their signature on a piece of paper or a tablet, capture an image of that to crop and resize to store in the AD user account or somewhere secure that can be queried to be pushed to that users
desktop. I work at a state government agency and I have heard of another agency doing this but I have no idea how they did it. The only thing I could think of is to have a script ran during login to query the AD attribute the image is stored in,
pull it and then copy it to the users machine so when they sign a word document or .PDF with a digital signature they also have the option to place that image in the signature line.

Cisco ISE Active Directory Add Group

Hi,
I came across the Cisco ISE on integrating with Microsoft Active Directory; I would like to check what may be the use case of the add group function (External identity source-->active directory-->group-->add group)? Not too sure if it may be possible to group multiple active directory groups to the created group?
I have attached a print capture of the "add group" for reference.
Any suggestion is appreciated.

I apologize for not following Ravi's post. However you can enter the group if searching for groups fails. It is case and format sensitive so using the method has to be precise....one example is looking in the authenticatiin report for a user under the "other attributes" if there is a group you want to apply as a policy you can copy and paste that group syntax under the add group which you posted.

ISE / Active Directory

We have a wireless setup using WLC and ISE, authenticating BYOD against Active Directory.
The challange we have is that when users change their AD password, they forget to update their smartphones resulting in their AD accounts being locked out.
We have PEAP enabled, with retries set to 1.
When does the retries "reset" so that it will try again?
And is there other things we can look at to prevent this behaviour?

The best thing to do is to train your users to update the password in all their devices. Otherwise the account will be mostly locked out if an auto-auth device is configured with the old password.

ISE : Active Directory integration long usernames sAMAccountname

Have a customer deploying ISE for wireless authentication using PEAP-MSCHAPv2. They've encountered an issue where some users with long usernames are failing authentication to ISE. ISE logs that the user is not found in the user database (Active Directory).
Upon further review, it appears that ISE is using the sAMAccountname as the username token to authenticate against.
sAMAccountname is limited to 20 characters.
Customer is running a full Windows 2008 domain and users login to the domain using their User Principal Name (no 20 character limit). Therefore, when the user creates a wireless connection and passes his Windows credentials to PEAP, it fails because the username is too long and ISE does not find user in AD database.
Is there a way to point ISE to use a different username token instead of sAMAccountname? or is this a known issue?

I don't think there is any way to increase the limit of 20 characters. You have to create to user name with 20 characters limit.

ISE - Active Directory - LDAPS

I think I understood the customer concern. This is quoted from Microsofthttp://support.microsoft.com/kb/321051
"The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) is used to read from and write to Active Directory. By default, LDAP traffic is transmitted unsecured. You can make LDAP traffic confidential and secure by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) / Transport Layer Security (TLS) technology."
So the question now is how can we be sure the ISE communication is secure? ... I understand port 636 is used to transport LDAP-Secure ...
The ISE User Gude indicates that one of the ports required to be open in the case a firewall exists between ISE and ADE is 636 (LDAPS). -(ISE User Guide Page 5-6)
In my case there is no FW between ISE and AD, so how can I be sure LDAPS is being used?
ISE User Guide explais a little about security if the external identity source is an LDAP, but nothing about security is indicated in Active Directory configuration.
Regards.

Hi,
The AD join operations allows you to run PEAP protocol and is much more resilient than using ldap because of the way it joins itself to the domain. It uses kerberos and rpc when performing user authentication.
When using ldaps that is configuration based on when you add the ldap instance.

Creation of a second Exchange 2013 server on a different site (with the roles of MBX and CAS) fails on prepare active directory and prepare schema.

Hello everyone
I have a network infrastructure consisting of 3 sites, site A, site B, and site C. i have 2 domain controllers on every site, and the AD roles are on the primary domain controller on site A. On site A I have an Exchange 2013sp1 CU6.
I want to create a second Exchange on Site B, with the roles of mailbox (the exchange on Site A will be first DAG member and the Exchange on Site B will be the second member of the DAG) and CAS.
First question: Is my thought correct about installaing on the same server mailbox and CAS server?
Second question: how many DAG witnesses I need for the DAG? One per site, or one in general (for example located on site A)
Third question: When I am trying to perform “Setup.exe /PrepareSchema /IAcceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms” I receive the error
“ Setup encountered a problem while validating the state of Active Directory:
The Active Directory schema version (15303) is higher than Setup's version (15292). Therefore, PrepareSchema can't be executed. See the Exchange setup log for more information on this error. For more information, visit:

I tried to run the PrepareSchema from the ISO of Exchange 2013 SP1 and form the extracted content of Exchange 2013SP1 CU6 archive, but still receive the same error. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

How do I get info from Active Directory and use it in my web-applications?

I borrowed a nice piece of code for JNDI hits against Active Directory from this website: http://www.sbfsbo.com/mike/JndiTutorial/
I have altered it and am trying to use it to retrieve info from our Active Directory Server.
I altered it to point to my domain, and I want to retrieve a person's full name(CN), e-mail address and their work location.
I've looked at lots of examples, I've tried lots of things, but I'm really missing something. I'm new to Java, new to JNDI, new to LDAP, new to AD and new to Tomcat. Any help would be so appreciated.

I'd be so grateful for any help.
Any suggestions about using the data from Active directory in web-application.
Thanks.
R.Vaughn

By this time you probably have already solved this, but I think the problem is that the Search Base is relative to the attachment point specified with the PROVIDER_URL. Since you already specified "DC=mycomp,DC=isd" in that location, you merely want to set the search base to "". The error message is trying to tell you that it could only find half of the "DC=mycomp, DC=isd, DC=mycomp, DC=isd" that you specified for the search base.
Hope that helps someone.

SharePoint, Active Directory and GMail

Dears,
I have SharePoint 2013 connected to Active Directory with <MyDomain> as domain name, i also have gmail domain <MyDomain> - same name-, we are creating users on our firm to have the same id and email address on both domains,
my questions are:
1- how can i sync this process automatically?
2- SharePoint is not sending email to users on Gmail, knowing that i used the following code to send email from my sharepoint server and it's working fine,
sing (SPSite site = new SPSite("http://onlinesrv/"))
using (SPWeb web = site.RootWeb)
bool sent = SPUtility.SendEmail(web, true, false, "user@<MyDomain>.com", "Test gmail", "From SharePoint Portal using gmail account as smtp");
Console.WriteLine(sent.ToString());
Any help ??!

Hi Omar,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to send email to users that have Gmail in AD.
Whether you have installed SMTP. You need to install SMTP for using Gmail , more information, please refer to the link:
Configuring Outgoing email settings in SharePoint with Gmail SMTP
Also, you need to create a User Profile Service Application, then start a full sync to sync the user profile.
More information, please take a look at:
http://maxteo.wordpress.com/2013/01/16/configure-sharepoint-2013-outgoing-email-using-gmail-smtp-and-resolving-user-profile-synchronization/
I hope this helps.
