MAC-Based Authentication

I am sorry if this has been asked before or it is the wrong place to ask this.
I just want to know how secure is MAC-Based Authentication on an AP340 access-point (not bridge) with version 11.07.
I've done this by adding 'Dest MAC Address' in 'Address Filters' under 'Association' in 'Setup'.
Also selected 'Disallowed' for 'Default Unicast Address Filter' for all the relevant authentication types in 'Advanced' for 'AP Radio' of the 'Network Ports' in 'Setup'.
Thanks for any suggestions.

If an attacker has a network analizer, they can see the MAC address in use (even if WEP is being used as the MAC must not be encrypted)
Some 802.11 NICs allow the user to configure a MAC address into the NIC.
So the attacker *could*:
1. observe a valid NIC in use
2. program that MAC into their NIC
3. Wait till the valid user has gone home
4. Use the NIC they have programmed to access your network from the safty of the parking lot.
LEAP or VPNs provide a much more secure solution

802.1x mac based authentication

We have Cisco ACS 3.3 is there a way to do authentication based on mac address, instead of username and password? We are looking to stop things such as user purchased access points and what not. Any info would be great.

Yes you are right, I misunderstood you. I was under the impression that you were talking about doing MAC based authentication on your AP's, not the switches. That is why I made mention to port security.
The 2 options would be standard port security or 802.1x port security if you switches support this.
In order to use the 802.1X port security, your switch would need to support it and the clients connecting to the switch would require a supplicant (EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS, etc) in order for them to work, not by MAC address alone.
You can configure standard port security on the switch which will accomplish your intentions and not even need to use the ACS server.
standard port base security by MAC:

802.1x Mac-Adress Based Authentication

I am wondering if we are going to see or now have the ability to authenticate hosts on the lan with something other than a Username / Password? I am mostly concerned with ports on my network that the end device is a non 802.1x compliant device. Anyone have any insight as to what others are doing? Currently i am running ACS 3.3.2 and I am very succesful in deploying 802.1x to ports on my LAN, however we run a mix of unix based devices which are vendor supported and printers are another source of concern.

We had pretty good luck using a Cold Fusion front end that forces users to authenticate with their AD credentials. It pulls the MAC address and host name and user/machine details and puts them in an ODBC database.
We modified the sample stub routine to have the CSDB stub routine add the MAC to the local database in the PAP field.
Kind of a nice compromise of identity and machine based authentication without the complexities of PEAP/EAP-FAST etc.

How to configure a Cisco 3560 with MAC-based 802.1x authentication by radius server

Hi dearI
How can I configure a Cisco 3560 to authenticate a client based on its mac address with 802.1x and radius server. Many tanks in advance!

Olivier,
You can't reference WLP visitor roles in weblogic.xml, but you can
reference global roles (created using the WLS console):
- <security-role-assignment>
<role-name>PortalSystemAdministrator</role-name>
<externally-defined />
</security-role-assignment>

ActiveSync with Certificate-Based Authentication

We are trying to setup ActiveSync with certificate-based authentication against Exchange 2010 SP2, but with no luck.
What has been done so far:
OWA over https works fine. A public, trusted certificate is in place.
Setup ActiveSync against this Exchange server: works fine, using user name/password.
Issued a user cert, signed with an internal CA, CA-cert successfully imported into al client devices.
Created a new OWA-site with cert-based authentication (just to make sure it works), imported user certificate into a mac, visit this OWA site - cert-based authentication works fine.
Now, with the configuration utility, created configuration profile with that user cert and an ActiveSync account, left password blank and chose the imported cert (p12) as authentication means.
After installing that last profile the device keeps asking for a password and refuses to synchronize. Logs on the server show error 401.2, so I assume iPhone is ignoring the cert and is trying to use password-authentication instead.
The devices tested were iPhone 3G with IOS 4 and iPad 2 with IOS 5.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Roman.

No-one with this experience?
We've done some network analysis (as much as was possible to decrypt) and could see, that the server sends an SSL-Alert (rejection?) to the client after the client presents the certificate.
That explains why the client falls back to password-authentication, but it does not tell us why the server rejects the cert (that is accepted perfectly when accessed from a browser) in first place.

Port-Based Authentication on 877

Hi
I have applied following commands to enable Port-Based Authentication but when I run command sh mac address-table it shows static mac on this port ( xx 0000.xxxx.xxxx STATIC Gi1/0/3) .

As I remove command authentication port-control auto then sh mac address-table command shows me DYNAMIC MAC.
Anyone can please let explain me why it is happing

Any input?

Mac adress authentication with Radius

Hello all
we have an WiFi architecture based on two Radius servers (ACS 3.2)
We make a Mac adress authentication with WEP on these Radius servers. Ours Wirelless cards are Proxim Orinoco. When we used the user and the passord identified by the mac adress manualy that works.
But, the authentication by Mac adress with the wireless card don't work. The log on the radius servers are "CS PASSWORD INVALID".
Ideas ?
Regards

First ensure the password on the access point and the authentication server is the same. I have had this trouble getting authenitcated with ACS for admin authentication. Installing it on another machine made it work. So try uninstalling ACS completely using the recovery CD and reinstall it to check if this works.

SRW switches and MAC-based filtering

Hello, i looking for some guide how i can setup MAC-based filtering in ACL.
Please have step-by-step guide?
Thank you

802.1X authentication and MAC-based address filtering can be administered on SRW switches via their web based GUI.
There is very good documentation on each model...

Cannot create dataset from claims based authentication sharepoint site in report builder 3.0

I have a sharepoint site, which is configured as claims based authentication (ref:
http://ashrafhossain.wordpress.com/2011/05/25/how-to-configure-claim-based-authentication-for-sharepoint-project-server-2010/) . both AD and asp.net members can log in to the site successfully. My user need to use the report build to create report
on this sharepoint site. As a result, the site is also integrated with reporting service. I try to create a report in the sharepoint site by clicking "New Document" -> "Report builder Report". The report builder will comes out and ask for credential to
connect to the report server. I use asp.net member to login and it can let me to create a data source which connect to a the list of the sharepoint site with credential option "Use current Windows user. Kerberos delegation might be required". However, when
I try to create a data set and click the query designer, error "Server was unable to process request. ---> Access is denied. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED))" appear as below:
Besides, non of my AD account can be used to login to the report builder. Errors below found in the ULS log:

Hi Foxvito,
Claims authentication types supported by SharePoint 2010 are Windows Claims, forms-based authentication Claims, and SAML Claims. In SAML-Claims mode, SharePoint Server accepts SAML tokens from a trusted external Security Token Provider (TST). From the
blog you referenced, it seems to use the SAML Claims authentication.
However, the Reporting Services client applications: Report Builder, the Report Designer in Business Intelligence Development Studio, and Management Studio do not support connecting and authenticating with LiveID or SAML Claims based SharePoint Web applications.
That's because the SAML Claims don't use the Reporting Services authentication endpoint. So, you have to change the Claims authentication type to use Report Builder on the SharePoint site.

Claims Based Authentication and Editing User Profiles

Hi All,
I have an interesting issue where I have a SharePoint Farm setup with both the intranet and mysites web applications setup using Claims Based Authentication. While everything seems to work fine, you are able to search for users, view properties and users
can change their own profile properties. However when you configure a profile administration account (an account with the "manage user profiles" permission on the User Profile Service Application) and you attempt to use that account to edit
another users profile you get hit with a generic error page.
Delving deeper you get the following errors:

It seems similar to an issue in the blog post here: http://kb4sp.wordpress.com/2012/12/05/user-cannot-be-found-shenanigans-one-way-active-directory-trusts-and-sharepoint-2013/ however I tried what was suggested and it didn't work.
Any help with this is appriciated.

This line offers clues about the actual problem:
Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles.UserNotFoundException: DOMAIN\AUSER
According to the MSDN link (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.office.server.userprofiles.usernotfoundexception.aspx)
it is not able to find the user in the profile store. Additionally the link you mentioned (http://kb4sp.wordpress.com/2012/12/05/user-cannot-be-found-shenanigans-one-way-active-directory-trusts-and-sharepoint-2013)
suggests that the account being used to validate accounts on the production domain may have a problem.
If there a way you can test that account in isolation against the DC?

Claims Based Authentication SPSecurityTokenService.Issue() failed: The security token username and password could not be validated.

Please excuse the lousy table...Its late :-)
I have a multi-server SP2010 farm. Patched up to
Configuration database version: 14.0.6106.5002
My goal is to have a claims based web application that authenticated to ADAM for Extranet. I have configured the servers exactly to MSDN and technet specs (following this spec to the
letter (
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee806882.aspx) to allow the forms side of the web app to authenticate to ADAM.
IT WORKS IN DEV!!! , which is a single server farm. However, it does not work in production. I get the following:

I have tried EVERYTHING (well, nt everything, I don’t have the fix I suppose).
I found plenty out there and nothing directly correlates with this issue.
I searched on all parts of the errors I got.
This contains an interesting blurb about setting up access for the apppool id correctly.
That’s not the case for me. It works in dev and the same id are used there.
http://sharepoint-2010-world.blogspot.com/2011/03/adam-forms-based-authentication-in.html
This was good but it doesn’t give specs on what the environment looks like:

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi.
You say its a multiserver farm, do you have more than one web server then?
If thats the case, have you tried accessing the site on each server directly?
Found this for you, maybe that can help?

Sharepoint 2010 on Windows 2012R2 and claims based authentication

Hello,
We have installed a sharepoint 2010 SP2 CU dec 2014 on a Windows 2012R2 server.
The installation went without problems.
However, we want to use claims based authentication on a certain web app pool.
Therefore some configuration on IIS is required.
The first issue we ran into, is the web application pool uses ASP.NET 2.0, which is the default settings.
However, using this ASP.NET Version 2.0 the feature "Providers" and ".net users" are invisible.
When changing the .net version to 4.0, the features comes back again.
I can fill in the connection strings without problem.
The providers feature however, gives me the following errors:
There is a duplicate .... sections defined.
When googling on this error, it seems that on .net 4.0 these sections are already globbally defined in the machine.config, So i removed these entries in the machine.config
These are the lines that are "double"
<section name="scriptResourceHandler" type="System.Web.Configuration.ScriptingScriptResourceHandlerSection, System.Web.Extensions, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" requirePermission="false"
allowDefinition="MachineToApplication"/>
<section name="jsonSerialization" type="System.Web.Configuration.ScriptingJsonSerializationSection, System.Web.Extensions, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" requirePermission="false" allowDefinition="Everywhere"
/>
<section name="profileService" type="System.Web.Configuration.ScriptingProfileServiceSection, System.Web.Extensions, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" requirePermission="false" allowDefinition="MachineToApplication"
/>
<section name="authenticationService" type="System.Web.Configuration.ScriptingAuthenticationServiceSection, System.Web.Extensions, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" requirePermission="false"
allowDefinition="MachineToApplication" />
So after removing these lines, i can get into Providers feature in IIS.
but, when i click on "Add..." i get the following error:
Add Provider
There was an error while performing this operation.
Details:
This method cannot be called during the application's pre-start initialization phase.
OK
I spent to much time already to solve this issue and i hope that someone can give me some advice to address this issue.

Forcing specific clients or groups to use forms based authentication (FBA) instead of windows based authentication (WIA) with ADFS

Hi,
We are have a quite specific issue. The problem is most likely by design in ADFS 3.0 (running on Windows Server 2012 R2) and we are trying to find a "work-around".
Most users in the organization is using their own personal computer and everything is fine and working as expected, single sign-on (WIA) internally to Office 365 and forms based (FBA) externally (using Citrix NetScaler as reverse proxy and load
balancing with the correct rewrites to add client-ip, proxy header and URL-transformation).
The problem occurs for a few (50-100) users where they are sharing the same computer, automatically logged on to the computer using a generic AD-user (same for all of them). This AD-user they are logged on with does not have any access to Office365
and if they try to access SharePoint Online they receive an error that they can't login (from SharePoint Online, not ADFS).
We can't change this, they need to have this generic account logged on to these computers. The issue occurs when a user that has access to SharePoint Online tries to access it when logged on with a generic account.
They are not able to "switch" from the generic account in ADFS / SharePoint Online to their personal account.
The only way I've found that may work is removing IE as a WIA-capable agent and deploy a User-Agent version string specific to most users but not the generic account.
My question to you: Is there another way? Maybe when ADFS sees the generic user, it forces forms based authentication or something like that?
Best regards,
Simon

I'd go with your original workaround using the user-agent and publishing a GPO for your normal users that elects to use a user-agent string associated with Integrated Windows Auth.. for the generic accounts, I'd look at using a loopback policy that overwrites
that user agent setting, so that forms logon is preferred for that subset of users. I don't think the Netscaler here is useful in this capacity as it's a front-end proxy and you need to evaluate the AuthZ rules on the AD FS server after the request has been
proxied. The error pages in Windows Server 2012 R2 are canned as the previous poster mentioned and difficult to customize (Javascript only)...
