ISE Provisionning

Hi all,
I currently test Cisco ISE virtual appliance and I have some question about functionnalities and provisionning.
I already bind my ISE appliance with a windows server 2008 enterprise to realize SCEP. I begin with this product, so I commit maybe some mistakes.
1. To use guest portal, is-it possible to access without url-redirect-acl ? In my opinion, it's not possible because ISE don't accept request without the good session-id.
2. Can we use url-redirect-acl on a autonomous access point ? or only with WLC ?
3. How Cisco Network Setup assistant (Android apps) detect my ISE ?
4. There are other possibilites to do provisionning except Guest portal ?
Any help or suggestion will be appreciated.

WLC only.
3. How Cisco Network Setup assistant (Android apps) detect my ISE ?

4. There are other possibilites to do provisionning except Guest portal ?
The ISE Admin portal can provision Guests or Active Guests as desired. The administrator just needs to greate accounts with that are in a Guest group. There is the Sponsor Portal as well (mentioning as that is technically different than the Guest Portal)
Any help or suggestion will be appreciated.

ISE Provisioning - Google Play Ports Changed?

Tested on Nexus 7 - Stock 4.2 and Galaxy Nexus running 4.1. Same result.
Following TrustSec 2.1 Guides for ACL.
When attempting to download and install the "Cisco Network Setup Assistant" from Google Play as part of ISE provisioning, getting errors when trying to download while in "CENTRAL_WEB_AUTH" status on the WLC.
TrustSec documents that tcp-udp/5228 need to be allowed on your WLC CWA ACL...but It looks like the ports used for Google Play have changed to tcp/80 and tcp/443 when I look at Firewall logs without any CWA in place...has anyone else hit this? It cant be best practice to open 80 and 443 to two 16 bit networks....

Hi,
This is not a specific as I would like but it does seem to work.

ISE Provisioning Issues - Public Certificate & EAP-TLS

Anyone run into the issues similar to the below?:
Public Certificate bound for HTTPS
Internal AD Certificate Bound for EAP
Issue is SPW or Native Supplicant will be provisioned with Root CA of Public Cert then SCEP enrolls EAP-TLS with Internal CA however as client device (ipad/iphone/android) doesnt get the Internal Root CA provisioned they will fail EAP-TLS communication
Running ISE 1.1.2 patch2, 2 node-cluster
Guest Portal being used for Provisioning if AD credentials passed
Works a treat if i bind both https & eap on the Internal identity ceritficate (only issue then is Guests/BYOD devices get Certificate Warnings on the portal)
Cheers
Kam

the process doesnt fail as such for the onboarding/provisioning on the iphone, however the when entering domain credentials to the guest portal which intiates the onboarding/provisioning process, i notice the root CA certificate is prompted to be installed on the iphone is that of the public certificate instead of the internal root CA, the rest of the user certificate and scep process properly completes however as the root CA for the internal CA wasnt installed i get warnings when connect to our dot1x eap-tls SSID.
On other devices this process fails which i can only assume is down to the lack of internal root CA cert
so as per the above im pretty much following this (differentiated access via certificates) :
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/solutions/collateral/ns340/ns414/ns742/ns744/docs/howto_60_byod_certificates.pdf
however my setup is slighlty different as the EAP & HTTPS indentity certificate is not the internal, i have installed a public cert for HTTPS to remove certificate warnings on guest portal (as BYOD devices and guests will only have non-domain machines thus a public cert removes the certificate warnings)
does that clarify anymore?
Cheers

MAC OS X 10.6.8 unable to download ISE provisioning

Hi,
I am trying to understand the issue I have encountered with MAC OS X 10.6.8 downloading of the provisoning agent from the Cisco ISE. Using other versions such as MAC OS X 10.7/10.8/10.9/Windows etc... has no issue.
The issue is only seen on MAC OS X 10.6.8. I have tried updating/installing the java version 6 from Apple software update however not too sure on the reason it is not able to download for mac os x 10.6.8. It display the error message "Failed to download Cisco Network Setup Assistant" This does not happen on MAC OS X 10.7/10.8/10.9/Windows/ios/etc..; it seems to be only happening on MAC OS X 10.6.8; not too sure if there may be any areas to look out for?
Any suggestion is appreciated.

Please go through the link below will help you for understand the process.

Cisco ISE - Adding Wireless AP's to ISE

I am currently in audit mode with my ISE implementation. I have a Cisco CAPWAP 2602 AP connected to an ISE provisioned 3750. My Auth policy is failing on the AP because it is not found in any identity store.
So, my question is, what is the best way to inventory all of my network AP's? We have about 300. They obviously are not in AD and I am not sure I want to bulk add the AP's to the Internal Endpoints store and have to continually manage the inventory if AP's are swapped out.
My thought was to have ISE dynamically reference my WLC's for all of my registered AP's to authenticate them, but I do not see a way to do that.
Ideas?
Thx

I came in this morning and the AP had successfully authenticated overnight. I reviewed the auth details and came across something I had not seen before for previous endpoint authentications. Not sure if this is unique to Cisco WLC dot1x, but the event for the authentication was 5206 PAC provisioned. I have not setup PAC and am really not familiar with PAC yet. I had to Google it to get an idea of what I was dealing with. However once the AP was PAC provisioned it authenticated and was authorized. So I guess I need more clarity on how PAC is used, and is it required for CAPWAP AP's?
Edit. Ignore the item below. The next two events were:
Also, I don't understand the last 3 lines of the detail below... Why is ISE sending an Access-Reject because of a successful in-band PAC provisioning...?
I'm getting there but I don't think I have this solved yet? Any help is appreciated.

ISE, SCEP password

Hello,
ich would like to setup a BYOD enviroment withe the ISE. An i would like to use WLAN with EAP-TLS, so i need the deployment of certificates to the WLAN clients.
All configurations examples i have seen use the Microsoft CA / SCEP. That's not my case.
My CA / SCEP Server needs a password for SCEP request - but i have no idea what the ISE is using. I thing the password is within the CSR come from the client device. But this CSR generating is initated by ISE provisioning process... so there must be a way.
regards
Karsten

Karsten,
The reason the examples are using Windows is because there is a registry setting which allows you disable the password feature for SCEP requests. I dont think this is supported in version 1.2. You may need to open a TAC request and have a feature enhancment filed.
thanks,

NAC Agent does not pop up after psn fails.

So I'm in the middle of a deployment where I have 4 ISE appliances, two in one location and two in another location.
The first location has 2 with all personas installed, whereas the other two are only PSN. In each area, NAC agent pops up normally after connecting/swapping to wired or wireless networks. During HA tests I have encountered that when the two ISE from the remote area fail (shutdown switch port for testing of course) the client does get authenticated but it stays in the POSTURE_REQ state on wireless and the Agent fails to pop up.
- I have tried forcing the servers on the profile on ISE (provisioning) and I can see how it is somehow updated on the xml configuration file in the remote endpoint but still the nac agent wont pop up.
- Increased timeout timers also, no luck.
- Reinstalled NAC agent manually and by ise auto provisioning, no luck.
- Ran a wireshark capture and saw requests sent to the default GW with the positron thing but never get an answer, but then I try connecting to the ISE manually https://(ADMIN_NODE_FAR_FROM_ENDPOINT)/guestportal/gateway?sessionId=(gibberish)&action=cpp and it works, so it is reachable from the endpoint
I believe there is some kind of sync problem, my ISE are in UTC time and NADs have local timezone, but then why does it work locally??
Any thoughts on this?
Thank you for all your kind help

You have done a reset. What does that mean? Did you reset all settings?

ISE 1.2 - Self-Provisioned devices still in pending registration status

Hi everybody,
I'm on ISE 1.2 patch 2, setting up single-SSID self-provisioning BYOD flow which works as expected except for a couple of issues:
first PEAP authorization always fails (no server certificate confirmation appears on device and no Endpoint Profile is assigned), second on goes through as expected and self-registration flow is started;
at the end of the flow, TLS certs are installed, device appears in endpoint database under user's account but "Device Registration Status" stays "pending" and this makes it impossibile to further authorized RegisteredDevices identity group;
single mobile devices gets different "Endpoint Profile" result at each subsquent access. For example: Android smartphones are profiled as Android or HTC device or HP devices or Samsung randomly.
I've tried to analyze log files but cannot extract a full dump of the profiling process that could help identify why all this happens.
Can you please help?
Regards,
L

Hi Kevin,
I did not find and answer. In subsequent patches the self-registration flow seems to have changed somehow and now I have more device in 'Registered' state, but still most of the time at the end of the process there is no guarantee that the devices will be in this stage. I've moved to more broad policies for authorization (i.e. if you have a valid certificate and login from one of the accepted profiles, we'll let you in).
Please let me know if you open a TAC case, what is the answer.
Regards,
L

ISE 1.2 WEBAUTH (CWA) + SELF PROVISIONING (NSP)

I'm trying to achieve the following for our employees, contractors and guest.
Guests and Contractors should be allowed to access the internet after successful auth on the ISE guest portal login page.
contractors (ldap contractor group) -> webauth -> internet
guest (internal ise db via sponsorportal) - webauth -> internet
Employees should be allowed to register their devices after successful auth on the ISE portal login page and they should be allowed to access the internet once their device is registered. So they don't have to re-enter the credentials every 2 hours.
employee (ldap employee group) -> webauth -> nsp -> internet
In ISE i've created a custom portal with mobile device portal and self-provisioning flow enabled. At the moment I don't have any client provisioning Policy configured and I've set the Native Supplicant Provisioning Policy Unavailable: to Allow network acces.
I'm currently experiencing problems with clients and they describe their problem as portal loop. when they enter their credentials they are redirected to the portal once again. I did move around some of the rules and it currently looks like this. At the moment i'm working remote and not able to replicate the problem myself. Any advice would be welcome and much appreciated.
Is there any available documention about the builtin attributes in ISE. I'm especially interested in network use EQUALS guest flow.

Hi Patrick,
I'm facing similar problem as yours , but on wired . My contractor (I name it vendor) is redirect to guest portal , and when they login they were redirected to the portal again.
for the devices registration , I have set the Native Supplicant Provisioning Policy Unavailable: to Allow network acces.
my authorization rules as follows :
1- rules name : Vendor-wired : identity : registerddevices AND identitygroup: VENDOR authorization profile: VENDOR-ACCESS
2- rules name : WIRED-CWA : identity : any condition: device-type:SWITCH authorization profile: CWA-PORTAL
It looks like , when vendor is login , they are not hitting the first rule , although the device shows up in the registered devices , and the vendor account is in VENDOR identity group (local in ISE) , so they come back again to rules 2 , which redirect them to the CWA-PORTAL again .
did you find any hint for this problem ?

ISE 1.2 - MAB Guest and MAB Supplicant Provisioning

In short trying to provide a configuration whereby a Guest utilises MAB and a set of sponsor created credentials to gain access to Internet via the portal. In addition to this I am also trying to provide MAB for "Corporate BYOD" utilising AD credentials resulting in supplicant provisioning. I am aware of other ways of doing this in terms of utilising PEAP and a NSP redirect but in this instancemy only real option is MAB. Could anyone provide me with an example of how they have approached this situation.
I tried to to do CWA redirect for both use cases but provided a separate "2nd auth" for each of them. My BYOD 2nd auth was the actual NSP redirect - which worked except the MAC address could not be populated into the field (See flow below for BYOD redirect).
MAB > CWA Redirect (AD credentials) > "2nd Auth" = NSP Redirect

Please disregard I have it fixed. Long story short I was over engineering it. I was unaware that ISE was able to differentiate between Guest users and other users with regards to the "Enable Self Provisioning flow".
Thanks

ISE 1.2 device registration with MAB only, no client provisioning

Hello,
Is it possible for AD users (no guest users) to walk through the Device Registration Self Registration without Client Provisioning ?
I do not want to push certificates or native supplicant profiles to client devices.
I would just want AD users to register their MAC address, if MAC is not known. Add the MAC to some sort of group.
Then if MAC is known (in this group), skip registration and allow full access to the VLAN.
Right now, i am stuck on the registration portal that says "The system adminstrator has either nog configured or enabled a policy for your device". ?? It is true that my Client Provisioning screen is empty.
Am i really obliged to use native supplicant provisioning to register my device ?

Hi
Device Registration web auth is a process where you can configure user without client provisioning.
In this scenario, the guest user connects to the network with a wireless connection that sends an initial MAB request to the Cisco ISE node. If the user’s MAC address is not in the endpoint identity store or is not marked with an AUP accepted attribute set to true, ISE responds with a URL redirection authorization profile. The URL redirection presents the user with an AUP acceptance page when the user attempts to go to any URL.
1. A guest user connects to the network using a wireless connection and has a MAC address that is not in the endpoint identity store or is not marked with an AUP accepted attribute set to true, and receives a URL redirection authorization profile. The URL redirection presents the user with a AUP acceptance page when the guest user attempts to go to any URL.
2. If the guest user accepts the AUP, their MAC address is registered as a new endpoint in the endpoint identity store (assuming the endpoint does not already exist). The new endpoint is marked with an AUP accepted attribute set to true, to track the user’s acceptance of the AUP. An administrator can then assign an endpoint identity group to the endpoint, making a selection from the Guest Management Multi-Portal Configurations page.
3. If the guest’s endpoint already exists in the endpoint identity store, the AUP accepted attribute is set to true on the existing endpoint. The endpoint’s identity group is then automatically changed to the value selected in the Guest Management Multi-Portal Configurations page.
4. If the user does not accept the AUP or an error occurs in the creation of the endpoint, an error page appears.
5. After the endpoint is created or updated, a success page appears, followed by a CoA termination being sent to the NAD/WLC.
6. After the CoA, the NAD/WLC reauthenticates the user’s connection with a new MAB request. The new authentication finds the endpoint with its associated endpoint identity group, and returns the configured access to the NAD/WLC.

ISE 1.0 Posture and Client provisioning

I've configured 802.1x with dynamic VLAN for users and MAB for phones - it works fine. Now I wanna to implement client provisioning and posture validation for users. After reading ISE user guide there are still several big questions:
1. Is it possible to combine 802.1x and posture? (it was not recommended with NAC)
2. How can I bind existing 802.1x authorization profile and posture policy?
3. What is a switch configuration for client provisioning to work(redirect, quarantine zone, download NAC agent)?
4. Do ISE posture and client provisioning have L2 virtual gateway, trusted and untrusted ports, as in NAC?

With ISE you can perform 802.1x first and after that optionally you can perform posture. This is done with Radius, that's why it's really and completely out of band, and there's no such concept of trusted or untrusted port because the traffic is never inline.
Still, with ISE you have another option of "inline Posture", in which there's trusted and untrusted ports. I guess that's for some specific cases in which you can't go out-of-band.
On the other hand, so called "out-of-band" NAC was really always an inline solution, only after the user has authenticated and security policies have been verified then the user goes "out-of-band".

Is it possible to run Posture using ISE 1.2 without NAC Agent provisioning?

Is it possible to run Posture using ISE 1.2 without NAC Agent provisioning?
-My customer does not want to push NAC Agent installation on BYOD type of computers (non-managed by the company computers).
-The requirement is to check for posture only company owned wired, wireless, and VPN connected Windows computers. The rest of the endpoints should be considered as posture incompliant, and limited access to the network should be allowed.
-No certificates are used.
-I’ve configured the required posture check, and it all works fine if a PC has NAC Agent manually installed (without ISE Client Provisioning). However, when I use a PC without NAC Agent, it is redirected to Client Provisioning Portal and is stuck there as Client Provisioning is deliberately not configured in ISE.
-If I remove Posture Remediation Authorization Profile that does URL redirect, the posture does not work.
-For now I'm testing it on wired endpoints.
Is there a way to configure ISE to fulfill the listed above requirements?
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Val Rodionov

Everyone who finds reads this article,
I'm answering my own quesiton "Is it possible to run Posture using ISE 1.2 without NAC Agent provisioning?"
The answer is Yes.
After doing research and configuration testing I came up with a solution, and it works fine for wired and VPN connections. I expect it to work on wireless endpoints as well.
ISE configuration:
Posture General Settings - Default Posture Status = NonCompliant
Client Provisioning Policy - no rules defined
Posture Policy - configured per requirements
Client Provisioning (under Administration > Settings) - Enable Provisioning = Enable (it was disabled in my first test)
Authorization Policies configured as regular posture policies
The result:
After successful dot1x authentication posture redirect happens. If the PC does not have NAC Agent preinstalled, the browser is redirected to Client Provisioning Portal and a default ISE message is displayed (ISE is not able to apply and access policy... wait one minute and try to connect again...). At the same time, the endpoint is assigned NonCompliant posture status and proper authorization policy is applied. This is what I wanted to achieve.
If NAC Agent was preinstalled on the PC, after successful dot1x authentication the NAC Agent pops up and performs posture check. If posture is successful, posture compliant authorization policy is applied. If posture check fails, NonCompliant posture status is assigned and posture non-compliant authorization policy is applied. Which is the expected and needed result.
The only part that is not perfect it the message displayed to the end-user when posture is about to fail. I did not find a place to change the text of that message. I might need to open TAC case, so this file can be manually found and edited from CLI (root access).
Best,
Val Rodionov

Client provisioning not working on ISE after 1.2 Migration

Working on an initial piloted roleout of ISE with a customer. We initially had a single server setup as a pilot using 1.1.1.4 to pilot things like client supplicant provision, and then stood up a new VM as a secondary and upgraded that to 1.2. Today we tested client provisioning that work fine before, and it is failing for iOS (we haven't gotten to the other OS'es yet). What occurs is the user authenticates using PEAP and the client gets the request to install the root certificate. After this the client accepts the root certificate the connection drops. When you click the SSID to start the process again we see the redirect to the mydevices portal, but before you can click to register the client it redirected to accept the root certificate again, creating an endless loop. Has anyone else run into this bug?

ISE 1.2 Client Provisioning Page Customization

Hi All,
Is it possible to customize Client Provisioning Page. We are using ISE version1.2
I could see from switch port authentication sesssion that it is being redirected to guest portal with session ID.
however on the host machine itself it gets redirected to a different URL.
Regards
Sameer

please have a look on Configuring Client Provisioning guide:
