ISE and Wireless compatibiity

we are in the process of preparing to upgrade our Wireless Controllers from 7.2.110 to 7.6.130. When I check the ISE compatibility matrix, it does not specifically list 7.6 WLC code as supported on ISE 1.1.4 or ISE 1.2. I assume it is, given 7.5 is listed as supported in the 1.2 matrix. Can you verify that 7.6.130 WLC code is supported in ISE 1.1.4 AND ISE 1.2.1?

Yes, it is. I have done several ISE deployments with WLCs running 7.6. With that being said, stay away from 7.5. It is not a good code and it is full of issues.
Thank you for rating helpful posts!

ISE and wireless CWA

Need some help on this one.
This is ISE 1.1.1 and WLC 7.2
I want to use CWA and Webauth for guest users, and I have configured that on the ISE and WLC.
This is working but I need some clarification :-)
First I tried to use AuthC policy with
allowed protocolls= PAP-ASCII + Host lookup
Result of that was that for Mac OS X an MS PC it's no problem, I get redirected, logon, press yes on the AUP and I can go on surfing the web.
But on the iOS devices I get redirected to the guest logon page, put in my credentials and insted of the AUP page I get a network error, could not connect.
If I change AuthC to
allowed protocolls= Default Network Access
All is working fine for all endpoints.
Im looking at the RADIUS Authentication Details but I dont understand what iPhone/iPad do diffrent?
An other question here, can I get a redirect after successfull logon instead of 'Please retry your orginal URL request'?
Thanks!

I did solv this (sort of) using html redirect on a custom portal, going to the customers web page.
http://www.cisco.com/">
It would be nice to have a redirect to the page the user wanted to view prior to login but this is good enough

Inline Posture between Cisco ISE and Wireless LAN Controller

Hi,
I was looking into Cisco ISE solution for deploying NAC.
I have a question about the network topology.
In the user guide documents of cisco ISE, it is written that for Wireless LAN Controllers (WLC) and VPN devices, an additional server, Inline Posture, is needed.
However, in the following integration document, there is not an inline posture between WLC and Cisco ISE server.
https://supportforums.cisco.com/docs/DOC-18121
I want to know if Inline Posture is a requirement, if not a requirement, what are the benefits of having it between Cisco ISE Server and WLC.
Thanks & Regards

I will repost the whole messaqge with the correct external URL's:
In general, the Trustsec design and deployment guides address the specific support for the various features of the 'whole' Cisco TS (and other security) solution frameworks. And then a drill-down (usually the proper links are embedded) to the specifc feature, and then that feature on a given device.

ISE and WLC for posture remediation

Please can anybody clarify a few things in relation to ISE and wireless posture.
1) Is the ACL-POSTURE-REDIRECT used for remediation, or is it just an ACL to redirect only some traffic to kickoff posture checking?
2) Can/Should a dACL/wACL be specified as a remediation ACL?
3) Do the WLC ACLs have to be written in long format (manually specifying source and dest ports/doesny direction any work?)
4) Does anybody have working example ACLs for posture redirect (cpp) and remediation (dACL)?
5) Any other advice or pointers would be helpful too as no docs i have found so far, be it TrustSec2, CiscoLive or anything else, dont seem to help me understand WLC posture and remediation
thanks
Nick

Nick,
Answers are inline:
1) Is the ACL-POSTURE-REDIRECT used for remediation, or is it just an ACL to redirect only some traffic to kickoff posture checking? This is for both (if ports 8905..are included) then this is for initial redirection, and remediation
2) Can/Should a dACL/wACL be specified as a remediation ACL? Wireless does not support DACL, you will have to reference another ACL in the the authorization policy, the new versions have the Airespace ACL field, where you will have the ACL defined locally on the wlc.
3) Do the WLC ACLs have to be written in long format (manually specifying source and dest ports/doesny direction any work?) Yes you have to add two entries, for example for all traffic redirection to ise...source = any, destination=iseipadd, source port=any, destination port=any direction=any action=permit
source=iseipaddr, destination ip = any, source port=any, destination port=any, direction=any action permit. Its not the easiest but I will attach a screenshot that will show you my example.
4) Does anybody have working example ACLs for posture redirect (cpp) and remediation (dACL)? ISE doesnt support DACLs so when you build your authorization profile in ISE you select the web authentication type (Posture Discovery) after that the ACL field will come up, there you will "call" the posture ACL which is defined on your controller.
5) Any other advice or pointers would be helpful too as no docs i have found so far, be it TrustSec2, CiscoLive or anything else, dont seem to help me understand WLC posture and remediation Keep in mind that you have to have radius NAC and AAA override enabled under the advanced settings for COA to work.
You have to turn on COA under the global settings in ISE (Administration > Profiling > Coa Type > Reauth)
Then you have to build your policies so that when a user connects to the network they are redirected to the download the nac agent (this is where the Posture Discovery and redirect ACL work in tandem).
Once the client download the nac agent and is compliant the report is forwarded to ISE where a COA event is triggered.
Then the client will reauthenticate and will hit another policy that will give them access once their machine is compliant, you can set the ACLs for restricted access, use dynamic vlan assignment, or just send the access-accept.

ISE and 802.1x - Retrieve User Cert from AD for Auth without it being in the Personal Store?

Hello,
We are implementing 802.1x EAP-TLS wired at the moment with Cisco ISE, and wireless is to come after that, along with our internal PKI. I set up the PKI, and our network engineer is setting up the ISE. We currently have it set to first authenticate the computers with a computer certificate (allowing access to AD, among some other things), and then further authenticate the users with user certificates.
I don't have much knowledge of Cisco ISE, and plan to learn as we go, but I'm wondering:
Is it possible to authenticate the computer via the computer certificate, getting access to AD, and then have the ISE check AD for the User certificate INSTEAD of the User certificate being in the local Personal store of the client computer? We have autoenrollment going for user certificates, but it seems to be cumbersome (in thought) that once 802.1x is enabled, a new computer/employee coming on the network has to first go to an unauthenticated port to be able to download the User certificate in the Personal store, before then being able to use an 802.1x port?
I guess that makes two questions:
1) Can ISE pull the user cert from AD, without needing it in the local Personal store?
2) What's the easiest way to handle new computers/users that don't already have the User cert in their local Personal store once 802.1x is enabled?

1)No
2)Use EAP-Chaining with EAP-TLS and PEAP
For this scenario, i would go with Cisco AnyConnect NAM, and then use EAP-Chaining, with EAP-TLS for machine auth, and then PEAP for user authentication. This way you can make sure that both the machine and the user is authenticated, and more importantly, that a user can not get on the network with their user identity only and no machine identity. Using windows own supplicant for this, gives no garantee that the user has logged in from an authenticated machine. The feature that used to be used for this before EAP-Chaining was introduced, is called MAR, and has many problems, making it almost useless in a corporate environment. Security wise, the PEAP-MSCHAPV2 is tunneled in EAP-FAST and does not have the same security issues as regular PEAP.

ISE and NAC wireless guest networks

I have a wireless network that is NAC controlled and use lobby ambassador for guest wireless. What is the best way to migrate to ISE for guest. Are there problems running NAC and ISE on the same controller?
Sent from Cisco Technical Support iPad App

Hello,
For your query regarding ISE and NAC following are my findings, which might help you in order to solve your query.
for your first question:-
ISE is a free software upgrade for customers who have NAC appliance or NAC profiler. This is for both for the base and advance licenses.
ISE is a 50% software discount for customers who have NAC guest server. The 50% discount is a migration part for the base license only. The advance features license will not be impacted by this discount.
for your second question:-
There should be no issues running NAC and ISE on the same controller until and unless you are using two SSIDs.

Cisco ISE and SecurID Integration Questions

I'm looking for some clarity trying to understand something conceptually. I want to integrate Cisco ISE with RSA SecurID, the idea being that if the user authenticates with RSA SecurID they end up on one VLAN, however, if they don't authenticate with (or don't use, or don't have) SecurID they'll end up on another VLAN. Note that I'm not using SecurID for wireless access...all PCs are wired to Ethernet.
We have been using RSA SecurID for a while and are currently on version 8.0. Our users are authenticating via the RSA Agent typically on Windows 8.1. Instead of the usual Windows login prompt, the RSA Agent first prompts for the username and passcode (they use an app on their smartphones to get the passcode), then after a moment or two, it prompts for their Windows domain password.
We have recently installed Cisco ISE version 1.3. With the help of a local Cisco engineer and going through the "Cisco Identity Services Engine User Guide", I have it set up and running along with a few 'test' ports on our Cisco 6809 switch, it basically works...as a test it's simply set up that if they authenticate they're on one VLAN, if not, they end up on another (this is currently without using RSA...just out-of-the-box Windows authentication).
The Cisco engineer was unable to help me with RSA SecurID, so pressing on without him, out of the same user guide I have followed the directions for "RSA Identity Sources" under the "Managing Users and External Identity Sources", and that went well as far as ISE is concerned; I am now ready to get serious about getting ISE and SecurID working together.
My mistake in this design so far was assuming that the RSA agent on the Windows client PCs would communicate with Cisco ISE...there doesn't seem to be a way to have them point to a non-RSA SecurID server for authentication. The concept I'm missing is what, or how, the end-user machine is supposed to authenticate taking advantage of both ISE and SecurID.
I have dug deeper into the Cisco ISE documentation but it seems heavily biased towards Wi-Fi and BYOD implementations and it's not clear to me what applies to wired vs wireless. Perhaps it's a case that I'm not seeing the forest for the trees, but I'm not understanding what the end-user authentication looks like. It apears that as I learn more about ISE, it should become the primary SSO source, that SecurID becomes just an identity source and the PC clients would no-longer directly communicate with the SecurID servers. That being the case, do I need to replace the SecurID client on the PCs and something else Cisco-ish fills this role? An agent for ISE? How do they continue to use their passcode without the RSA agent?
Thanks!

The external db not operation indicates that there is no communication between ACS and RSA. Did you fetch the package.cab file to analyse the auth.log file?
Have you already gone through the below listed link?

ISE and Guest Portal

WLC - 7.2.110.0
ISE - 1.1.1
I'm new to ISE. I want to set up a very basic method for BYOD users to access our wireless network. I've set up an SSID for external Web Auth, where users get redirected to the ISE Guest Portal: https://1.2.3.4:8443/guestportal/Login.action
At that screen, users can enter their Active Directory credentials and login. Although the authentcation shows as successful under Operations -> Authentications, the user is redirected to the device registration page. On that page they see the message "We are unable to determine access privileges in order to access the network. Please contact your administrator." Their device MAC is listed, and they can enter a description but the "Register" button is greyed out.
I'm getting overwhelmed with the amount of documentation available as well as the new terminology. I'm familiar with using Windows RADIUS servers, but ISE is very foreign to me now. Is there any documentation to help me understand how access requests are processed?

As you asked the documents related to ISE and Guest Portal. I am sending you two docs which will help you in this case. Please find the below documents:

ISE and NAC Agent

Hello, we currently run NAC for our wired (OOB), wireless (IB) and VPN (IB) enviroments. We are looking at migrating over to ISE for our wireless enviroment as a first step, with follow-up projects to move the VPN and wired clients over. I have been reading that ISE will still use the NAC agent. Our current NAC enviroment is at 4.7.2 and we are running the 4.7.2.10 agent. We do not want to upgrade this enviroment, we would rather focus on migrating to ISE. So our thought was to upgrade the clients to the latest NAC agent version 4.9.1.5. This agent is supported against the 4.7.2 NAC Manager. The problem is, I do not see this agent version listed as supported in the ISE compatibility matrix. Instead, they list a NAC agent of 4.9.0.37, which ironically, is NOT listed in the NAC compatiblity matrix. So what version of NAC agent should we run in a mixed enviroment? I am hoping 4.9.1.5 is supported against ISE, and the matrix is simply not updated yet. Thank you in advance for your help.

Not sure I understand. The 4.9.1.5 NAC agent does run against our CAM, as we have tested that and it is listed in the support matrix. So if we upgrade our NAC applainces, we would still run that agent. Does that agent tun against ISE, and if not, what is Cisco's recommendation to bring ISE into the enviroment? We have to have a migration path, and wireless seemed like a logical first step. But we need a NAC agent that will work against Clean Access AND ISE as our laptops will be wireless and wired at different times. Which Agent would be recommended?

ISE and Selfservice with single SSID

Hi, i have:
WLAN 2504 Controller with 7.2 Software
ISE 1.1.2
A single SSID with 802.1x Authentication
Today the wireless users are authenticated against an cisco acs. I want to switch to the ISE and make use of the mydevices portal. I want to re-use my single SSID and don't want to make any provisioning.
- The user connects to the single SSID
- The user configures peap authentication on his device
- The user authenticates to a ldap directory with username and password
- After successfull authentication the user will be redirected to the mydevices portal
- he logs in with his ldap credentials
- the mac address of his current device is listed in the mydevice portal
- user adds his device to the known devices list
- manual reconnect to my ssid
Is this possible with ISE? Is there a howto out there with exact this scenario?
Kind regards

Hello Andreas,
WLC 2504 supports CWA, CoA & dACL.
This wireless controller also supports MAC filtering with RADIUS lookup. For WLCs that support version 7.2.103.0, there is support for session ID and COA with MAC filtering so it is more MAB-like. So it should fulfill your requirement and you can use single SSID.

ISE and authenticating against Windows AD with RADIUS realm that is different from the Windows domain

Hello
We are in the process of evaluating the Cisco ISE VMWare appliance with a view to replace our existing FreeRADIUS installation as authentication provider for our wireless network and VPN service. As a part of this we are hoping to migrate our user authentication to Microsoft Active Directory - we have previously authenticated against a different identity store (not MS AD). Because of this legacy our Windows domain is not the same as our RADIUS realm name - the Windows domain is "win.mydomain" whereas we wish to allow users to authenticate using "username@mydomain" or even "[email protected]" as they are doing today. We are experiencing an issue where authentication requests with the format "[email protected]" will be forwarded to the Windows AD whereas authentication requests with the format "username@mydomain" will fail with the log message "User not found in Active Directory". We do not know if the ISE itself is validating the username and triggering this error, or if the error originates from AD. We suspect the that the ISE is not even asking AD because "win.mydomain" is the domain configured in "Active Directory" in "External Identity Sources".
Authentication requests against the AD without a realm are successful (that is, using only "username"). With this in mind we located a post on the Cisco support forums that described a process of proxying the request back to the ISE and strip the realm information, but this was specific for the ACS platform. We have attempted to implement this solution but it is still not working as we would have hoped, and we are not entirely certain where the fault might lie. We are currently using PEAP with MSCHAPv2 for authentication in our WLAN where the main problem is. We suspect that the "proxy-to-self" with realm stripping is an issue with PEAP.
Is there a supported method of achieving our goal, or should we abandon the ISE platform as our scenario is simply not supported?

Seems like your issue maybe related to DNS, when ISE receives the format [email protected], the dns request is failing. However, there is a setting for alternate UPN Suffixes that can be configured to include domain.com and student.domain.com.
Here is a windows article that should fix this for you. Once you get this updated please reboot ISE so it rejoins AD. Try your tests again.

ISE and Symantec SEP 11 Interworkering Question

Hi guys,
I have a question about ISE and Symantec SEP 11.
In my customer envrionment, they want to build a wireless byod work place. But the endpoints are installed SEP software.
Do you know the workflow for the SEP, when it check the system is not secrity then put my endpoints to the guest VLAN.
In my opinion, the endpoints should authenticationed and authorized by ISE first.
Then, the endpoints should connect to internet successfully.
Now, if the endpoints using SEP software to check the system status.
What should the SEP do if the system is not safe?
Is the SEP return a signal to Switch, let it change the Vlan configuration of the interface to the Guest Vlan ?
But this action will cause the AP disconnect to the WLC, and makes all the clients which is connect to this AP is disconnect.
Somebody knows it ?
Thank you !

HI Chetan,
Thanks for your reply.
I've search the SEP web site and found some work flow. And I combine them to my environment.
I'm not sure it's right, the flow is:
1. Client computer connects and send logon through EAP.
2. The WLC forwards the user name and passwrod to the LAN Enforcer.
3. The LAN Enforcer forwards the username and password to the ISE server.
4. The ISE server generates and EAP challenge.
5. The LAN Enforcer receives the EAP challenge and adds the Host Integrity check.
6. The LAN Enforcer checks the Host Integrity results and forwards them to the ISE server.
7. The ISE server performs EAP authentication and sends the result to the LAN Enforcer.
8. The LAN Enforcer receives the authenticaiton result and forwards it and the action to take to the WLC.
9. If the client passes the EAP and Host Integrity challenges, the WLC allows network access.
But when i configure the WLC, the RADIUS server address is the ISE server ip address. That means WLC forwards the username and password to the ISE server directly, and it will not through to the LAN Enforcer.
So this is very confused me.
Do you know why?
Thank you !
Regards,
Yuxiang.

ISE and RSA token groups

We have wireless network using ISE and RSA to do the authenticaiton. There are two groups of RSA token users, one is with username
Axxxx, the other Bxxxx.
Now we try to differ the authentications for the two group. One permit, the other deny.
I am wondering whether the ISE can do this or not.
thanks,
Han

ISE 1.2 should work with RSA 8.1. Please do try it in a lab setup would probably qualify it as part of ISE 1.3.

ISE and VLAN assignment

Hi All,
Can ISE place a connection into a VLAN based on MAC address? (Both wired and wireless).
Scenario is as follows:
•- Users are wired and wireless, distributed around the campus. There are a dozen VLANs, one per closet, that are dedicated to users.
•- Laptops are bad at least in the mind of the customer. So a laptop (wired or wireless) leaves the campus and returns; possibly with the plague.
•- For each closet we want to create a “restricted” VLAN for bad laptops; and a “good” VLAN for desktop users.
•- We have a list of all the laptop MAC addresses; and a list of all the desktop MAC addresses.
•- Can we see the laptop MAC address logging in; and place that laptop into a relevant “restricted” VLAN, based on location?
•- Likewise can we see all the other MAC addresses and place the user into a relevant “good” VLAN, based on location?
Thanks for your comments!
Andrew

If you create a rule per location then yes.
If a rule per location is not suitable then you could use one rule, which dumps them in to a vlan based on the vlan name, but then you obviously need separate vtp domains per location.
Careful when you dynamically allocate vlans that you may need to change to port bounce for COA to allow DHCP to do its thing, which is a global setting up until version 1.2.
Version 1.2 also has other flexibilities which might be useful to you (nested rules so I believe you may be able to have one rule with multiple profiles based on location), but I've not played with them too much yet.
