Max Authorization Rules in ISE

Just curious if anyone knew the max number of authorization rules you can have in an ISE deployment?
Sent from Cisco Technical Support iPad App

I read a discussion and its says, dev's have tested and support 140 Authorization rules in ISE 1.1.x.

Max authz rules in ISE 1.2 ?

Hi All,
Is there any doco on what the current limit is on Auth Z rules in ISE 1.2
I have read 1.1.x had a limit of 140 authz rules.
I am also considering using policy sets if that increases the total authZ rules.
Cheers

Peter,
Here are the numbers for both 1.1.x and 1.2. Hope this helps.

OAM : Multi-valued attribute in Authorization Rule Actions

Our application is protected by an Oracle Access Manager deployment, where the identity user base is based in an Oracle Internet Directory.
In the OID, for every user entry, we have a multi valued attribute (say, 'roleattr') which contains the roles recognized in our application. Once the user is authenticated by the Access Server, we need the roles associated to him to be fetched and returned in the page header (similar to uid).
Hence, our question is, in PolicyManager, by setting the Authorization Rule > Actions, is it possible to retrieve this attribute (which is 'multivalued') and populated into the pageHeader, so that our application can retrieve the same.

Sure, you'll get a colon-delimited list of the multiple values in your header!

Creating LDAP filter in authorization rule OAM 10G

Hi,
I want to set up a LDAP filter in Authorization rule based on which i will redirect users to specific URL's. what is the syntax to writing LDAP filters in OAM authorization policy. Any pointers to documentation will be appreciated.
Also i want to know whether authorizations always follow authentication. i.e. my redirection will be successful only after a user is authenticated in end application based on the headers we send out after successful authentication.
Please Help
Thanks

Open Identity server console and check the attribute's Display Name and type in Object classes section. I recently faced a similar issue and it got fixed after providing these two values.
Hope it works for your as well :)

ACS v5.5 authorization rules 320 limit

I am about embark on a large service provider ACS migration / installation and I suspect I am going to need more than 320 authorization rules, which is the limit stated in ACS v5.5 release notes.
Is the limit for the maximum number of rules for an Access Service, or for the ACS totally?

The limitation is for total acs

The page where you are expecting the HeaderVar to be shown is the resource protected or it is set as Authorization redirection action? If as action, please protect the page by OAM (set the HeaderVar in the Policy) and access the page directly and see if it shows the headerVar.

[ISE] What is the best Authorization rules sequence ?

Hello,
like a FW set of rules, I think that ISE's authZ rules should also be ordered with care ?
What are the best practices ?
Most used first ?
Guest, MAB and Webauth at the end ?
Tell me...
Any screencap is welcome
Regards.

Hi,
The first rule matched is the rule that applies. Best practices are outline by one of the tac engineers in this document.
https://supportforums.cisco.com/community/netpro/security/aaa?view=blog
You can set attributes such as network device groups to determine if the wired, wireless, or vpn policies need to be in effect (which I am sure you are aware of).

Mac-Address Different format for Authorization on Cisco ISE

Dear All,
I have problem with my Cisco ISE,
This is the design :
ISE ---- Core Switch ---- 3Com Switch --- PC User
My Case:
Authorization is based on Mac-address and Active Directory,
But user with PC that connect to 3Com swtich is Deny by ISE because the Format Mac-address is different with Cisco,
Mac-address Cisco format : XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
Mac-address 3Com format : XXXX-XXXX-XXXX
3Com Switch type is TRICOM 4210 26-PORT.
Anyone have experience with this? and how change the mac-address format in 3Com so user can authorized by Cisco ISE.
note:
authorization based on Active Directory is not problem with 3Com Switch.
Based on my experience, Different product is different format mac-address, so this case not only for 3Com Switch.
Thanks,
Arika Wahyono

I do not think Cisco will add these vendors to the supported switch matrix because then it would be a support issue that cisco would have to deal with, much like most of the AD issues I experienced when I worked in TAC. Your best bet would be to run the evaluation license instance in a lab and have a 3com switch point against that.
Other than that I do not recommend upgrading to 1.2 without validating that the new "multi-vendor" MAB support will work on your switch.
PS- Keep in mind that my comments is just my opinion so you may need to open a TAC case for an official answer.

Porting ACS 4.2 rules to ISE

I'm trying to move AAA services from an ACS 4.2 integrated to AD to an ISE3355 supporting remote access VPN on an ASA/AnyConnect and wireless (PEAP). The ISE3355 is AD integrated.
With respect to Remote Access VPN using AAA on the ACS, I currently map various AD groups to ACS groups, and use the RADIUS IETF Class [025] attribute for the ACS group that associates an ACL name hardcoded in the ASA configuration to enforce the access policy.
Is this a valid approach to porting policies from the ACS to the ISE?
Or alternatively, must I define the ACLs on the ISE instead of using those already defined in the ASA configuration?
I need to do a quick port, so any suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks for your response Vattullu. My local Cisco account security-focused SE pointed me to this youtube video:

This addressed the issue of authorization issue exactly the way I needed it.

Authorization Rules.

Hi,
I am in the process of setting up OAM/OID to provide secure access to a website.
Part of the website is public and part of the website is secure.
For the secure part I want to limit access to a particular group of users who belong to i.e. secureGroup which has been created through the GroupManager function of Identity Administration.
I have created a Policy Domain for the protected part. I have also created an Authorisation Rule for the allowed users to grant them access. My understanding is that I need to create an LDAP rule to provide access to the group in question.
What is the format of the rule?. the documentation goes a bit light as to the fomat of the rule. I am just not sure how to say - is current user a member of secureGroup.....
Any help or pointers would be useful.

You're on the right track, however, the LDAP filter definition will not help you with a group based authorization decision (as a 'group' object never logs into the system).
Hit the 'select user' button which opens the OAM selector app. Look closely in the top right hand corner of the UI for blue links on the blue background - one for Employees, one for Groups. Select Groups and then search for and select your group object. Save the rule.
You can make the UI better by defining tab images for the person and group objectclasses - then those links are much more obvious.

Authorization rule for EAP-FAST (inner EAP-TLS)

We have an ISE deployment where we are looking to use EAP-FAST as our authentication method with EAP-TLS as the inner method. We are checking both machine and user certificate. We initally had the following condition in our AuthZ rule -> EapChainingResult = User and machine both succeeded, however we found that intially machine succeeds and the user doesnt succeed until after windows login. If we change the condition to EapTunnelType = EAPFAST then it works fine, logs show that while initially user fails and machine succeeds, after login to windows shell then both user and machine succeded log message is visible. My preference would be to get it working with the first condition as it is a more valid check but it doesnt work due to the initial failure, anyone else got EAP-FAST (EAP-TLS) working.
Regards

I have it running at a customer, and as you discovered only machine auth succeeds initially, this is because the user store where the users certificate is not opened until they have logged ind, this is working as intended.
What you can do is to have two different authz rules, one for eapchainingresult=machine succeded and user failed, and another one for when both succeed. This way you can give granular access by using another ACL for the machine, so the machine doesn't get full access to the network before a user has logged in.

ACS 5.3 cannot create default network access authorization rule

Hi, when I click 'Create...' under Access Policies > Default Network Access > Authorization, and then press the 'OK' button, it says 'Please configure at least 1 condition.' However I have no way to configure conditions as the 'Conditions' text is just bold text and not a link or any sort of configurable area. If I go to 'Customize' on the bottom right and add conditions to the right list box, I still have no options when I press Create. Also, the 'green light' next to Default Network Access is grey with a line through it. This is the most cryptic system I have ever used.. anyone have an idea? Thank you!

Looks like you are using chrome amd it's not a supported browser.

Unity max routing rules

Does anyone know the maximum amount of routing rules that can be created for each table. I thought it was around 50

Unity 7.02 / 200 ports / 4000 users - is there a maximum number of routing rules supported with this config? We are currently trying to determine the best way to integrate several Avaya systems using PIMG and may need to use routing rules to do so....What are the overhead /considerations?
Thanks.

An issue with authentication and authorization on ISE 1.2

Hi, I'm new to ISE.
I have an issue with authentication and authorization.
I have ISE 1.2 plus patch 6 installed on VMware.
I have built-in Windows XP supplicant and 2960 cisco switch with IOS c2960-lanbasek9-mz.150-2.SE5.bin
On supplicant I use EAP(PEAP) with EAP-MSCHAP v2.
I created authentication and authorization rules with Active Directory as External Identity Source. Also I applied authorization profile with DACL.I login on Windows XP machine under different Active Directory accounts. Everything works fine (authentication, authorization ), but only for several hours. After several hours passed , authentication and authorization stop working . I can see that ISE trying authenticate and authorize users, but ISE always use only one account for authentication and authorization . Even if I login under different accounts ISE continue to use only one last account.
I traied to reboot switch and PC,but it didn’t help. Only rebooting of ISE helps. After ISE rebooting, authentication and authorization start to work properly for several hours.
I don’t understand is it a glitch or I misconfigured ISE or switch, supplicant?
What should I do to resolve this issue?

Yes. Tried that (several times) didn't work. 5 people in my office, all with vers. 6.0.1 couldn't access their gmail accounts. Kept getting error message that username and password invalid. Finally solved the issue by using Microsoft Exchange and "m.google.com" as server and domain and that the trick. Think there is an issue with imap.gmail.com and IOS 6.0.1. I'm sure the 5 of us suddently experiencing this issue aren't the only ones. Apple will figure it out. Thanks.

Configuring Cisco ISE for Authorization with External Radius Server attribute

Hi,
I'm trying to integrate an external radius server with Cisco ISE.
I created an External Identity Store>Radius Token Server.
I created a Identity Store sequence with just one identity store just as creadted above.
And I was able to authenticate successfully.
But when it comes to authorization.
I observed we just have one tab named Authorization while creating Radius Token server.
And it always refers to ACS:attribute_name.
If I want to define a IETF radius attribute, (lets say class with attribute id as 25), how could I do it.
In Cisco ACS we have a direct entry option in authorization tab where we can define the radius (IETF) attribute within Radius token server creation (within radius token server>Directory attribute tab).
How ever I try to define the IETF attribute here (class,IETF:Class) I am not able to authorize with this attribute value.
I tried with just one single authorization rule where it could hit.But observed it to go the default(as none of the rules defined matches the condition).
Can anyone guide me how can we define a IETF radius attribute for authorization within Cisco ISE and what policy could we set it to work as authorization.
Thanks in advance

This is the step of Creating and Editing RADIUS Vendors
To create and edit a RADIUS vendor, complete the following steps:
Step 1 From the Administration mega menu, choose Resources > RADIUS Vendors.
The RADIUS Vendors page appears with a list of RADIUS vendors that ISE supports.
Step 2 Click Create to create a new RADIUS vendor or click the radio button next to the RADIUS vendor that
you want to edit and click Edit.
Step 3 Enter the following information:
• Name—(Required) Name of the RADIUS vendor.
• Description—An optional description for the vendor.
• Vendor ID—(Required) The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA)-approved ID for the
vendor.
• Vendor Attribute Type Field Length—(Required) The number of bytes taken from the attribute value
to be used to specify the attribute type. Valid values are 1, 2, and 4. The default value is 1.
• Vendor Attribute Size Field Length—(Required) The number of bytes taken from the attribute value
to be used to specify the attribute length. Valid values are 0 and 1. The default value is 1.
Step 4 Click Submit to save the RADIUS vendor.
