ISE purge unused guest accounts
My customer has ISE running 1.2.0 for its guest service. Today, they ask me about a way to purge guest accounts that never were used.
I know the 1.2 user guide stand this:
You can force expired guest user accounts to purge immediately without waiting for a scheduled purge. If a guest account created using FromFirstLogin is not used (user never logs in), it does not expire and is not purged. You must manually delete it in the Sponsor portal.
My question is about release 1.3, the manual does not indicate the same thing, so I like to know if the unused accounts can be purged in some easy way, or they can be included in the regular purge process.
Regards.
So, Does the 1.3 release has a new parameter to set purge unused accounts after some days? In that case, which parameter is it?

ISE 1.3 Guest account Activate
Hi,
Has anyone worked with ISE 1.3 with creating guest accounts using sponsor portal.?.
Our issue is that whenever we create new guest account using sponsor portal the account is shown as "Created" not as "Active". When we try to use the same account in guest portal it gives authentication failed and shows as "account is not yet active" in ISE report. (please see the attached file)
Can anyone tell how to make new account active or why it shown as "created" not as "active"?
thanks in advance.Hi there,
I am having the exact same problem with my ISE 1.3 deployment after upgrading from 1.2 to 1.3 .
The issue seems to relate to timezones (as a lot of ISE problems do!) .
The issue relates to settings under Guest Access -> Settings ->Guest Locations and SSID . You should have defined a location local to you, for me it is 'Southampton, Europe/ London', the San Jose entry cannot be removed.
There should be an option to select timezone in the Sponsor Portal but it is missing so defaults to 'San Jose'. This causes a time-zone mis-match between between the account itself and the SSID location.
However if you create a guest account using the admin GUI: Guest Access -> Manage Accounts, although you still cannot select the timezone it will choose the correct one for the SSID and you will then be able to use the account via the Guest Portal. I don't know what would happen if you had a second SSID and alternative location, it would probably be totally broken!
I have raised this issue with TAC three weeks ago, and had a webex with the Business Unit last week. They saw the issue and took some debug logs, all very helpful people, but the problem is still unresolved.
cheers,

ISE sponsor portal guest accounts
I am having an issue with guest accounts that have been created in the sponsor portal, some accounts work fine but others show up in the authentication logs on ISE as error 22056. This error points to ISE not looking in the right identity store but when you go deeper into the details all auth requests are pointing at the internal users store which is correct.
My main problem is that when I try to look at these accounts from the ISE admin console to see if there is any difference between them they do not show up i.e. no accounts that are created on the sponsor portal are displayed in the internal users database but if you try to create an account with the same user name ISE says that there is already an account with that name.
Is there any where on ISE to display the sponsor guest accounts?
Regards
CraigHi,
not too sure if I am missing something but this just tells you how to use the sponsor portal? my query was based around being able to see all user accounts i.e. accounts created in the sponsor portal and from the admin from the admin console in the admin console.
If I web browse to the ISE admin console and the go to administration-Identities I can only see the accounts that I have created through ISE admin, if I try and create an account that I know exists on the sponsor portal ISe complains that the user already exists but you cannot view it. This seems very odd, why wouldn't an admin be able to see all accounts?
thanks

ISE 1.3 Guest Account Expiration Notice email subject customization

Under Guest Type Settings, you can configure Account Expiration Notification. I managed to customise the e-mail body, but I cannot change the subject. Is there a way to change the subject of the email guests are receiving before account expiration?

Hello All,
I am encountering an issue in which I find only when guest accounts are created by sponsor through the sponsor portal, guess access is granted. If I manually add guest account in the same guest role via the administrative UI, instead of guest access authz profile is hit, ISE goes through supplicant provisioning flow. I know that I do have enable self provisioning flow but why would it kick in for guest user created by admin? I see many bugs dealing with guest portal flows but failed in finding one exactly matching to my senario. Any insight is greatly appreciated. version 1.2.
FadiYou can create and manage guest user accounts to provide temporary network access for guests. If you have numerous guest user accounts whose account information is stored in an external database, you can import this information to expedite the account creation process.

ISE Guest Email Notification (Guest account creation)
When a guest user creates an account in ISE, it sends a system generated email with the username/password. It says "Welcome to the Guest Portal, your username ise xxx and password is yyy." Is there anywhere in ISE (1.2) to change this text, especially the name 'Guest Portal'? I thought it was in language templates > Configure Miscellaneous Items > Portal Name. But I changed this to the portal name, and it was not reflected in the email. Thanks.
Josh,
Right now, it's pretty limited. Here is the template to be used for formatting the email notifications:
E-Mail Notification Template
The following is an example of the login information for the body of an e-mail in an English language template:
Welcome to the Guest Portal, your username is $username$ and password is $password$
The $username$ and $password$ strings will be replaced with the username and password values from the Guest User account.
In the e-mail body, you can use special variables to provide the details for the created guest account. When using these variables, you must use all uppercase or all lowercase letters, and you cannot mix them. For example, the string for username can be either $USERNAME$ or $username%, but it cannot be $UserName$.
You can use these variables in the e-mail notification template:
•$USERNAME$ = The username created for the guest.
•$PASSWORD$ = The password created for the guest.
•$STARTTIME$ = The time from which the guest account will be valid.
•$ENDTIME$ = The time at which the guest account will expire.
•$FIRSTNAME$ = The first name of the guest.
•$LASTNAME$ = The last name of the guest.
•$EMAIL$ = The e-mail address of the guest.
•$TIMEZONE$ = The time zone of the user.
•$MOBILENUMBER$ = The mobile number of the guest.
•$OPTION1$ = Optional field for editing.
•$OPTION2$ = Optional field for editing.
•$OPTION3$ = Optional field for editing.
•$OPTION4$ = Optional field for editing.
•$OPTION5$ = Optional field for editing.
•$DURATION$ = Duration of time for which the account will be valid.
•$RESTRICTEDWINDOW$ = The time window during which the guest is not allowed to log in.
•$TIMEPROFILE$ = The name of the time profile assigned.

Hi,
I would like to disable account lockout for ISE Guest accounts resulting from login failures. In the ISE, there is a setting for Maximum Number of Login Attempts (with values from 1-9) in:
Administration>Guest Management>Settings>Guest>Portal Policy
Can someone tell me where or how account lockout can be turned off for Guest accounts in the local database of the ISE/WLC.
Many thanks.
SankungAnswer: No, yet there is not way to completely desable this feature in Cisco ISE

ISE expiring guest accounts early

Marco BartuliheGuest authentication fails (restricted) with time profile FromFirstLogin
CSCuq83249
Description
Symptom:
Guest user fail authentication with error
Event 5418 Guest Authentication Failed
Failure Reason 86019 Guest User restricted
It happens if the user log first after the timeProfile validity, even if it is a FromFirstLogin profile.
That means, if the guest user is assigned a time profile that is valid for 24Hours after login, the user won't be able to login after 24Hours.
Conditions:
Guest uses a timeProfile fromFirstLogin and didn't logged in before timeProfile validity time
Workaround:
Reset Guest account validity from Sponsor portal fixes the issue temporarily (the same situation will occur if guest do not login).

ISE 1.2 unable to create guest accounts after import
Hi,
we are able to import guest accounts, but after clicking on "submit"-button nothing happens. So this is basically what we see:
There is no option to print the guestpasses. Is this a bug or are the guestpasses somewhere else? Furthermore there is no option to go back to main menu. We tried it on IE9 and in Firefox 25.0.1 we see even less after upload.
Here's the console output, when clicking on "Submit" in IE9:
Does anyone has a clue what this could be?
Thanks!

I would have thought that when the account was no longer valid the switch would have gone back to its default state. Also on the legacy NAC you could see the guest accounts as a local account, when we create a guest account throught the sponsor portal we don't see it in the Guest Identity group. We are looking @ that group for within one of our authorizational profiles.
Thanks,

Hello,
is it possible to print more than one guest account data at one time?
Best regards,
MarkusMarkus,
The best way to accomplish this is to do it when you create the guest accounts. Once you create the Random Guest accounts in the Sponsor Portal, you are given a "Success" screen as shown here:
Click the Print option highlighted in the picture above and you will get this:
Which you can then print out.
I hope this helps.
