ISE Deployment Change..

Hello..
We have 2x3355 ISE appliances and we already deployed them in standalone mode (redundant deployment which support up to 2000 endpoints), After a while the customer ask us to add another PSN using external server with VM version of ISE, he said that 2000 endpoints is not enough for him and he wants to increase the number of endpoints by adding extra PSN.
What I understand is with the current setup (standalone) I cannot add extra PSN unless I re-dpoly the whole thing in distributed mode (which will cause reconfiguring the two appliances and disconnect all ISE services), is this correct? If so Is there any way or guide line to safely migrate from stand alone to distribution without down time..
Thx

Once you convert from Standalone to Distributed Mode, the ISE services MUST restart. There is no getting around this. This generally does not take more than 15 minutes, depending on your environment. Once that is done, you can add PSNs to the deployment without an interruption in service. Just do not remove the Policy Service role from the Admin Node until your PSN is up.

ISE Deployment - Limit on Radius Sources?

Greetings,
I am planning a change to our ISE deployment, and I am curious if there is a limitation to the number of Radius sources that can be added to the running config on the switches and APs.
The majority of the switches are 2960 series and the APs are 2602 models.
Currently, we have two Radius Sources configured as follows:
aaa group server radius rad_eap
server X.X.X.X auth-port 1645 acct-port 1646
server X.X.X.X auth-port 1645 acct-port 1646
I need to know if I am able to add a third entry to that list, or if there is a hard limitation I am unaware of.
Thank You.

ISE questions will probably get more traction in the Security forum.
That said, the answer is "it depends". It all depends on your design. Is your third server a Policy Services Node or an Inline Posture Node (IPEP)? Either way, one of those would generally be positioned so as to provide profiling, posture and enforcement services working in conjunction with the Admin server(s). If a server is not part of the overall architecture, it will not.
All new ISE designs should be based on the Cisco-approved High Level Design (HLD) template. If you follow that and develop your Low Level design based on it, many of the typical questions should be answered.
Hope this helps.

Cisco ISE Deployment suggestion required

Require Assistance on Cisco ISE Deployment for below scenario
-- We have Three Cisco ISE Appliances and Client has taken Advance Subscription License for 500 users
-- Client has DC & DR and needs to deploy the Cisco ISE in one Main Office which connects to DC & DR on MPLS Links
-- Client suggestion was to deploy one ISE node ( Admin + M&T + Policy Server ) in DC and its Standby Secondary in DR
     and only deploy Policy Server in Main Office.
     Idea behind the design is that ,
     1) If DC fails , Cisco ISE related logs will get generated on DR and any Cisco ISE related request will be taken care by Local Policy Server in Main Office .
      2) If Local Policy Server Fails , then ISE node in DC will act as Secondary backup and DR will act Teritary Backup
      below is view
                                     DC
                        Primary Node with Role
                   [Admin , M&T , Policy Server]
                                                                                                             Main Remote Offic
                                                                                                              Cisco ISE Node ( Only Policy Server) -----------> Network Devices
                               DR
                       Secondary   Node with Role
                   [Admin , M&T , Policy Server]
Please let me know is it possible

Yes, The scenario is quite achievable also please review the below link for assistance on deployment of ISE.

File ownership changes on deploy changes

In my web server 7.0 environment everything installed with owner:group of webservd:webservd. This is fine.
I am using Cgistub and executing all cgi scripts by a different system user. I need to do this to execute ssh, because I don't want to give webservd ssh access.
All cgi scripts must be owned and executed by sshuser:other. This work great.
However, each time I deploy [any] changes (from the Web Server Console) to the configuration, every file and directory is reset back to webservd:webservd.
Is there a way to turn off this behavior? I need to keep ownership from changing when I deploy changes (which is very often these days.)
Thanks,
Mike

Applying my new understanding I created a new Document Root for everything served up that is completely outside the instance directory structure.
Configurations > configuration > Virtual Servers > virtualserver
Document Root (enter new doc root)
Save
Deploy
Everything works as I expect it to and no code changes we needed. And deploying changes do not reset ownership back to webservd in the new doc root.
So if the user running the web server is NOT the user you want running cgi scripts, etc., create a separate area for them.
I like this setup a lot better. Not only does it make a cleaner install, but it keeps users out of the installation directories.
Thanks for the help.

Unable to deploy changes to SLD

Hi,
This seems to be strange problem for me, but I think some one here would have come across this issue.
I am unable to deploy changes to SLD even thoug the requet was success. I had this problem earlier and found out that this is due to faileure automatic deployemnt.
But this time, it doesnot seem to be similar. My coleague, who is working on the same track, but on a different SC is able to deploy, and automatic depployment settings are same for both SC as they are in same track.
I wonder what is causing this problem.
Also, my NWDS hangs frequently when I try to activiate an open activity forcing me to close and activate again from activation view. Also, it hangs when I try to open Activation Requests perspective...
This is causing lot of problem and my developments are taking more than twice the actual time.
I hope some one can help me with this..
Thanks in advance,
Chinnu

Hello,
Fixed it myself, issue is caused by a library dc properties that is used in my DC. I have checkd all the options, runtime design time buildtime deploytime. I have changed it to buildtime, and unchecked other three properties. It got fixed
Best regards,

PAL: Deploy changes on printer to targetsystems does not work

Hi folks.
I set up PAL (printing assistant landscape) and deployed the printers from central to target-systems. Adding-/Removing printers from the Target-group works fine (in case there arenu2019t any spools on device).
But in case I want to change the u201Cdestination hostu201D for example in trx spad, the changes wonu2019t be made on the target system after redeployment of the printer.
It only works when deleting and reading over PAL.
I was searching for notes and for information in the PAL-guideline. This use-case isnu2019t mentioned.
Does anybody of you guys have an idea how to deploy these changes to the target-server? Did I wrong configuration, does this work at your site or is this function missing in PAL?
Thanks for your inputs!
Kind regards, Andreas

Hi!
Thanks for your reply. I'm familiar with these documents. There I haven't found information how or if redistributing of changes from source to target system should work.
The workaround to deploy changes is delete/add the printer from the target group. This canu2019t be the only solution??
help.sap.com "only" provides how to configure PAL and how work with PAL (Create/Delete).
So, the simple question is: If I make changes on a deployed printer in SPAD in the central system and then I distribute it over PAL... why the changes aren't set to target systems?
Greetings, Andreas

Broken ISE deployment

Hi all,
I need to change the IP addresses in an ISE 1.2 HA deployment (a primary/secondary pair). The tricky part is that the deployment was broken before I could get my hands on the servers.
I can make the primary server stand alone, and perform the address change, but for the secondary server I do not seem to have that option.
So what is the proper procedure to be able to reconfigure the IP address of a "broken" secondary server?
Thanks,
Lennart

Hi Walfors,
The good part here is that you are able to successfully make your Primary node as standalone. You can take the backup of this standalone node to be on safer side.
Normally when you perform the deregister operation from Primary ISE node, then the secondary node will be turned to standalone and you will be having a safe standalone node.
As you are saying that your secondary node even after de-registering from primary it is still in Secondary mode and you cannot do any operations to this Secondary node.
If you are having concern about the certificates then I would recommend to take the backup of certificates by logging into secondary node GUI and go to Administration -->Server Certificates -->Click on the certificate you want to export and then click on export button.
Now you are good to perform the reset-config operation on your secondary ISE node. Go to CLI and trigger the command "application reset-config ise ". This command will reset all your exisiting data with the default data .
Once after succesful completion of reset-config operation then if required you can restore the certificates that were exported and then join this node back to the deployment.
This way is the clean setup process.
If you do not want to perform the reset-config operation and need to be debugged further why the deployment is broken I would suggest you to raise service request with TAC .

ISE Deployment Problem

I have two Cisco ISE in my infrastructure with a two-node deployment. Due to some problems, the secondary node was disconnected. When was reconnected the node the license had expired.
I tried to perform a resync, but the option was disabled. I tried to make a deregister and then register a new one, when I tried this procedure, I received the message that the Node is not a standalone node.
Now, when I try to access the ISE secondary, I get the message must update the license, so I can not reconfigure the system.
What do you recommend I do?

Try deregister and then register
Check the Current Licenses in both primary and secondary nodes. They should be sync
To view current license in Cisco ISE, choose Administration > System > Licensing > Current Licenses. The Current License page appears, which contains the following information:Administration Node,ID—Administration node ID ,Version, Type, Expires, Licensed To, Base, Advanced
For out of sync issues, which most likely are due to time changes or NTP sync
issues, you must correct the system time and perform a manual sync up through
the UI.
For certificate expiry issues, you must install a valid certificate and perform a
manual sync up through the UI

Cisco ISE Deployment

Dears,
We have 2 ISE server. I configured wired, wireless,vpn, guest user authentication from ISE server. All of them are normal working. Both of ISE server have same Image.(ver 1.2) I deployed ISE servers as HA. I register second ISE server at primary ISE server. I attached the configuration files.
I want one ISE device is primary( Administration, Monitoring and Policy are active in primary ISE) and the other ISE server is backup or standby. (Administration, Monitoring and Policy are standby). When the Primary ISE server is going to down then all AAA process is going through the secondary ISE server( it is like redundancy on ASA)
Is it possible to configure? If yes how I do this configuration?
Thank for your helping.

ISE 1.2 does not have an Automatic Failover for the Admin Nodes. If the primary node goes down, you have to manually promote the secondary node.
Until you promote the secondary, the deployment has very serious limitations:
So, you see, there is no true HA with Automatic Failover for ISE 1.2.You have to have both ISE servers on anyway and the Monitoring Persona is the only one that does support Automatic Failover, so it really does make sense to deploy your nodes as noted here:
Node1: Admin (Primary), Monitoring (Secondary), Policy Service
Node2: Admin (Secondary), Monitoring (Primary), Policy Service
The notes I referenced can be found in the ISE 1.2 User Guide.
Please Rate Helpful posts and mark this question as answered if, in fact, this does answer your question. Otherwise, feel free to post follow-up questions.

How to deploy changes in BPEL?

Please help a newbie.. We run systems integrated by AIA. BPEL was done by other party which has gone. We changed the xml file as needed but the change doesn't take effect until deployment is done. We installed jdeveloper but we can't see any BPEL elements in remote servers. Please advise kindly what to install and where to connect to for deploying the change. Everything is running under 10g including Jdeveloper.
Thank you so, so much..

The "Check for Updates" link in the Help section of Jdeveloper 10g is dead, so I found "JDeveloper's extension for SOA technologies: SOA Composite Assembly, BPEL PM, Mediator, Human Task, Business Rules, Adapters" in the "http://www.oracle.com/ocom/groups/public/@otn/documents/webcontent/156082.xml#oracle.sca.modeler".
But, unfortunately, there is no version for 10g which I have. How to overcome that problem? Should I install Jdeveloper 11g and use it with 10g DB and Application environment?
Can you please kindly advise on that?
Thank you...

SJSWS 7.0U1 - Resets Permissions on Deploy Changes

I have several web server configurations (single instance of each config, no additional virtual servers), and since each config belongs to a different client/user:group, the permissons on the config directory are set to reflect these ownerships, mostly user-only-accessible.
For admin purposes, I like to modify (loosen) these permissions to make them group-accessible (to the admin group). Whether or not this is a particularly good idea could be a discussion for another day :-)
My problem is that each time I make changes to a configuration, the act of deploying the changes to the web server instance (using the GUI/Admin Console) resets the ownerships & permissions in the config directory to be user-accessible to the client user:group, i.e. as it was at creation.
This means I then have to change ownership/permissions to get back to (my idea of) a correct configuration.
Is there any way to either:
1. Prevent SJSWS from doing this in the first place, or
2. Trigger my script to reset permissions after deployment
I'm probably onto a loser here, but I figured I ask in case anyone else has tripped over this and discovered a solution!
Thanks for any input.

ISE Guest - Change Password Option

Hi All
Can anyone confirm that the change password option on the Guest Self Registration Portal actually works?
I have enabled the options with the ISE Guest Portal to allow the Guest to create his own account and also to change his password.
Although the self creation of the account works fine it doesn't look like changing the password works. When you enter the new password and click submit nothing seems to happen.
ISE version is 1.2.1.198
Regards
Roger

Hi Roger,
Are you making use of customized self registration portal. In such cases make sure , the session ID of a particular guest login is carried forward to the password change page as well.
For the html changes to any pages (login, aup, self_registration, self_registration_result,
device_registration & change_password) that link back to other pages. The below points A and B should be added as part of customized pages.
A)Reference script (<script src="js/customportals.js"></script>)
B)Add the onsubmit="getDynamicAction(this);" logic for posts
Thanks

ISE deployment in wireless infra without WLC (only Access Point 1240AG)

Hello All,
I am having access point 1240AG and planning to deploy ISE as a exteral radius server. I would like to know how deifferent authorization policy need to configure in AP/ISE. Whether I can use named ACL or VLANs (CoA) as a enforcement types without use of WLC. If yes then how?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
You can perform COA on standalone APs you will need to have an inline posture node in order to reap the benefits of COA, you may have heard this from any vpn related deployments. If you are in the design phase of this project, you may want to purse controllers because the latest rumor is that the inline posture node may be dropped since Cisco is planning on supporting coa on all their devices once the 9.x code drops for the ASAs. However please contact your Cisco rep for an official response.
Here is the footnote in the following link: "Autonomous AP deployments (no WLC) also require deployment of an Inline Posture Node for posture support."

Cisco ISE Deployment issue

Hi dears,
I deployed the ISE primary and secondary mode. Then I did deregister the secondary ISE at Primary ISE. Now i want to register the same second ISE as secondary mode on Primary ISE. but this error occur:
Unable to register SecondaryISE. Node is not a Standalone node.
I connect the secondary ISE and see deployement personas
Administration: Secondary
Monitoring: Secondary
Then I did promote to primary command after that ISE is log out but the problem is not solve.
version 1.20.8xx of both ISE's
How i solve this issue?
Thanks

try by promoting the secondary ISE which you have de-registered to standlone and try registering it on primary now
