ISE BYOD Android : Impossible to launch "Network setup assistant"

Hello
The Byod procedure fails when launching "Network setup assistant"
Error message is: "This profile could not be downloaded, are-you connected to Guest Portal ?"

ISE cannot push the profile to the cisco network setup assistant?

We have tried a few android devices with version 4.2+ but still got the error message ‘Unable to download profile.(Have you logged into the guest portal?)’ as shown at the bottom picture.
In fact, we are connecting the devices to an open SSID which performs MAC filtering, then redirect to CWA and login with AD credentials,
then redirect to Google play store and can successfully download the network setup assistant.
Could you please advise the possible reasons that would cause this error message and make ISE cannot push the profile to the cisco network setup assistant?

Here's a snipit from the Android spw.log. I see that there is an error trying to verify the hostname. Is it possible that this is caused by a non-trusted certificate? I'm using the self-signed cert built into ISE. I have an entry in the public DNS for guest.domain.com that resolves to the IP of my ISE server accessible from the guest subnet. I'm allowing all traffic from the guest VLAN to the ISE vlan on the firewall and all traffic to/from the ISE server in the provisioning ACL I have applied by ISE on the WLC during native supplicant provisioning. I know that guests can communicate with the ISE server since regular guest portal redirection works, just not the network setup assistant. I've renamed the domain to domain.com in this snipit.

ISE v1.1.1 Network Setup Assistant errors

Hello Everyone.
I've been having some difficulties with ISE v1.1.1 while setting up and testing the SISE course. It's setup so that BYOD users can self-service a guest account with the ISE and register their device. After that the Network Setup Assistant (NSA) is supposed to push the certificates to the system and make it able to access the network. My problems are two fold in is situation. Firstly I have a second interface setup without a gateway for RDP access that the NSA seems to select everytime for the interface it wants to setup, I've bypassed this for the time being with direct access to the machine.Is there a way to direct the NSA to the correct interface? Secondly Once the NSA is running, it will push the RA certificate to the machine and then immediately goto an error that the NSA cannot setup the network. I cannot find an error code on the NSA agent nor can I find a log to help me pinpoint the error the NSA encountered. Any ideas or help I can recieve with this will be appricated.
As far as I can tell the cwa and nsp redirects are working as intended. The Switch for Dot1x downloads the correct dACLs and the authorization profiles are placed correctly
Thank you.

Open Java Control Panel, click the Advanced tab, go to Perform certificate revocation checks on and select Do not check

Cisco Network Setup Assistant Unable to install the certificate on Android KitKat

Greetings,
I'm having issues with deploying the CA. Although the Cisco app fails, the user cert (but no CA) appears to install and is accessible during wifi setup. I am running the latest version of Cisco Network Setup Assistant 1.2.42. The phone is running Android KitKat 4.4.4, not rooted, running stock T-Mobile rom. I'm able to authenticate with the guest side, and get as far as Installing Certificates... Reference the screen shots attached.
Error message cisco Network Setup Assistant: "Unable to install the certificate. Exit the application and run it again to continue to the installation."
I have ran the application several times, it keeps returning to this same message.
After failure of the Cisco app, I noticed there is a certificate manager with CA cert and key, and than subsequently one new key continues to loop after until I cancel (also in screenshots).
I have tried decryption, removing all security, and clearing credentials, yet the problem persists. Any help is appreciated.

Cisco Network Setup Assistant with WIndows8

Hi, I'm trying to provisioning on Windows 8(Surface pro)
When the Cisco Network setup Assistant is on, it asks 'network password' while the ssid is wpa2-enterprise.
and I configured as it is on NSP.
Is it a bug ??

Hi,
What version of ise are you on, also what is the windows native supplicant provisioning version? See if the release notes for 1.2 meet your current design.

Boot Up & Network Setup Assistant

After booting up my iMac, I always get the Network Setup Assistant dialogue box in centre of screen. Sure, i can close it down, but why does it come up in the first place?
Bill

Go to the Apple menu, choose System Preferences, click the Accounts icon and then click the Login Items tab. If Network Setup Assistant is in the list, remove it.

Is there a way to "turn off" Network Setup Assistant?

Every time I turn on my computer, the Network Setup Assistant runs. No matter what I try, it doesn't ever fully set-up, or go away. Obviously I'm online now, so I don't need to set up a Network.
Is there someway to turn it off or make it stop automatically trying to create a network?

First you can just uncheck them if they are checked if there's nothing there that you want to open when you boot up. Usually there are software programs that you have downloaded
that you might have in your menu bar at bootup.
There might be the Mac HD. Check that if you want the HD window opened after bootup.

Network Setup Assistant runs every time I turn the computer on.

Everytime I turn on my computer, Network Setup Assistant decides that it wants to help me locate and create a new network - which is awfully nice of it. The problem, however, is that it either a) never fully completes because of some failure, or b)doesn't need to happen in the first place because I can access my Airport network without the setup assistant.
Is there any way to turn the Network Setup Assistant off, or at least make is stop trying to help me when I don't need it to?

Hi ddethomas, and a warm welcome to the forums!
What form of encryption does the Router use, WEP, WPA, WPA2?
Sory to see your 1st post got no answers, it helps to bump it with a reply again to bring it to the top again, but it's archined/vlosed now except to you.

ISE BYOD Onboarding

Hi,
I have a Lab setup with ISE 1.3, WLC 5508 7.6.130.0. I have setup the ISE using Setup Assistant as a base point and have managed to get a couple of things working, such as the Guest Portal with Self Registration, standard Wireless dot1x authentication and authorizations for notebooks using AD. I have also setup a separate Wifi network for Mobile devices using AD authentication.
All 3 scenarios work with a bit of fine tuning and with the following configurations.
Separate Guest-Wifi - Self registration - Works
Separate Corporate Wifi - AD Authentication - profiling and posture check - Works
Separate BYOD Wifi - AD Authentication - Works.
The problem I have is that when I enable device registration on the BYOD Wi-Fi, I get intermittent issues as follows:
1 Ipad connects and registers without failure, iOS 8.1.1.
other Ipad with same iOS, connects but cannot register, gets BYOD Portal page, but after accepting AUP gives error about unsupported browser.
Iphone 5s, iOS 8.1.1 connects and registers intermittently, and when it fails, it gets BYOD Portal page, but after accepting AUP gives error about unsupported browser.
Iphone 4s, iOS 8.1.1 connects but cannot register, gets BYOD Portal page, but after accepting AUP gives error about unsupported browser.
Can someone please advise why this is happening as I cannot see how its configuration error. I have checked the supported OS and Browsers for the portal and although the highest supported iOS is 8.0, why does the 1 Ipad work everytime and the Iphone 5s intermittently.
thanks.
Julian.

IMPORTANT NOTES:
It can take up to 24 hours (or sometimes even more) before the app will be visible in the WP Marketplace.
Devices in some markets may need to be running the very latest software before the app is visible in Marketplace. Existing devices began updating June 20 2012 in the first countries, new devices being produced already have the latest version
Shortly after launch, it is hoped that the app will also appear as part of the Nokia Collection in Marketplace.
We have forwarded a question on availability for Canada and India and will share any information we can as we receive it in this thread.
Hope this helps,

This is ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS. Canada still can't get it? Why does the US have access but not Canada. Can we expect it or is there another 3 month delay? Unbelievable that on day one I paid over $500 to buy this phone unlocked in Canada and still cannot use the most basic features like MMS. This is pathetic. Blackberry is better than this and they're barely alive

Nokia Network Setup

Who do I whinge at to get my carrier (Giffgaff, pretty popular in the UK) supported by this app?
APN I've done manually, but that's not so helpful for MMS.

New Airport Extreme N wireless network setup questions (WDS, D-Link)

I have finally been able to set up my Airport Extreme N network after numerous attempts over the last few weeks. I was getting a very weak signal in front of the house where my wife's G4 is connected wireless to an old Airport card and where all the systems (XBOX 360; Wii and PS3) are also wirelessly hitting the network.
The current configuration is as follows: In the office in the back of the house I have an Airport Extreme N basestation connected to the cable modem and have three workstations (One Mac and two PCs) wired to it. I set up a WDS network, so I set up the Airport Expresses as remotes. In the living room I have another Airport Extreme N basestation (as a remote as well) that is hooking up to the XBOX 360, Wii and PS3. I have enabled WEP security (not effecting the XBOX 360 since it is now "wired"). Here is the weird thing - I have a PC laptop with a D-Link Xtreme N card ( DWA-652) that cannot connect to the network. I enter the WEP password but it does not connect. Am I missing something on the basestation setup? Do I need to add the MAC address of the card anywhere. When I use the laptop's built in wireless it connects with no problem. By creating a WDS network did I disable the n functionality of the base station(s)? I am a lttle condused.
Also, prior to going to an all Apple wireless network setup, I bought the D-Link Xtreme N Gigabit Router (DIR-655). I was regretfully about to return it to Best Buy but I had an idea which may or may not work. I know that the D-Link does not support WDS but if I was to set it up as the main router and added the "main" Airport basestation as a wired bridge could I maintain the WDS network? The reason I ask this is because I would love to keep the gigabit for the wired machines in the office. Also, I am wondering if the D-Link notebook card is incompatible with the Airport network.
All I know is that I have spent alot of money and sleepless nights just trying to set this network up but thankfully Best Buy has a thirty day return policy so I will return what I can't use.
I appreciate any help and advice anyone can give me.
Thanks.

Hello!
I have noticed that some manufacturers (Linksys and possibly D-LINK) only accept upper-case WEP keys only.
This drove me nuts when trying to integrate a Linksys PC PCMCIA card into my old "g" network.
As far as using WEP, it's bad and broken; but I understand that your choice of security is limited to the devices that you are trying to network.
For what it's worth, I have my network set up with the AEBS 'n' connected to my Cable Modem, with one of the ports going to a gigabit switch for my wired network. I then have two AirTunes set up as WDS extensions for music & Internet delivery to two separate areas. The AEBS 'n" serves up DHCP and routing for the entire network.
It works quite well; I get 54 mbits/sec for the two WDS AirTunes, and 145 mbits/sec to one of my ATV's. My gigabit wired machines see data rates of 15-27 MBytes/sec (depending on the type of transfer).
Good luck!
