Hi,
Iam going through OOB NAC deployment and i have a question about the CCA agent that will be persistent on the clients machines , if a client leave his work with the laptop that has the CCA agent and will use it in home or any different network , will the agent affect on the laptop access in any different network or not??? and why??
waiting your replies

  • NAC Clean Access Agent Issue

    Hi,
    Can anyone tell me that If I want my user to download clean access agent so how can I achieve that...I have uploaded agent to my CAM but Im confused that should my user use web agent first then download the agent over network or he can download Clean agent directly ?

    Unlike the Clean Access Agent, the Cisco NAC Web Agent is not a "persistent" entity, thus it only exists on the client machine long enough to accommodate a single user session. Instead of downloading and installing an Agent application, once the user opens a browser window, logs in to the NAC Appliance web login page, and chooses to launch the temporal Cisco NAC Web Agent, an ActiveX control or Java applet (you specify the preferred method using the Web Client (ActiveX/Applet) option in the Administration > User Pages > Login Page configuration page) initiates a self-extracting Agent Stub installer on the client machine to install Agent files in a client's temporary directory, perform posture assessment/scan the system to ensure security compliance, and report compliance status back to the NAC Appliance system. During this period, the user is granted access only to the Temporary Role and if the client machine is not compliant for one or more reasons, the user is informed of the issues preventing network access and may do one of the following as mentioned in the below URL:

  • NAC - Clean Access Agents keeps poping up even when it's authenticated

    Hi All,
    I've setup OOB/IB/L3 NAC. after login to CAA, authentication happens and VLAN is changed on switch. But CAA pops up again and asks for usrename and password, even it's been already authenticated.
    any suggestion would be appreciated.
    Alex

    Alex,
    How are you forcing the traffic to the NAC? Using ACLs or PBRs?
    What you're describing indicates that you're more than likely using ACL method. If so, ensure that in your access subnet, you are disallowing traffic being sent to the CAS. After your client authenticates and is in the access VLAN, the agent would still continue to send out the discovery packets every 5 seconds, and if that traffic is allowed in the access VLAN, it will pop the agent up again.

  • NAC clean access agent page redirect

    I have a NAM and NAS pair that I have recently upgraded from 4.1 to 4.7 using the proper upgrade path.  These devices also received new IP addressing.
    My issue is that when a user is routed to the NAS the redirect page seems to point to the old IP address of the NAM rather than the new IP address, so naturally this page cannot be displayed.  My discovery host is set to the IP of the NAM currently, have tried both NAM and NAS.
    Thanks,
    Matt

    Matt,
    Look at the certificate installed on your CAS. It is still issued to the old IP/NAME I think. Change that and try.

  • Removing Cisco Clean Access Agent 4.5 (CCA)

    I'm more or less having trouble with uninstalling Cisco Clean Access Agent 4.5.0.0, so I can install CCA 4.1...
    I removed CCAAgent 4.5 + the files within "Library/ApplicationSupport/" and in "Library/Receipts"...yet when I try to install 4.1, it tells me there's a newer version of the software on this disk & won't let me install.
    I am on Snow Leopard, too - by the way.
    Any solutions to this?

    Tim:
    Seen this page yet....anything there help?

    Do you have a fresh backup if needed? Have you tried repairing permissions and checking for hidden files with a similar name?

  • Nac appliance - clean access agent report

    Hi,
    I have been searching a lot, and I don't find any good explanation about how the clean access agent report works. I experienced that not all agent activity will be reported. Sometimes it showed up report about the "passed" and "failed" agent, but not at another time. Would someone give me explanation about when the agent will show up reports and it will not ? or did it show bugs ?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    does anybody experience this ? or Everything is going fine on your NAC ? I am using NAC 4.1.3.1.
    Thanks.

  • Different between cisco NAC agent and cisco Clean Access Agent

    Hi all,
    if anyone has idea about different between cisco NAC agent and cisco Clean Access Agent, please share your ideas.
    thank you

    In 4.6, the agent was overhauled and is now called the NAC agent.  Previous versions were referred to as the Clean Access Agent.  So pretty much, the 4.5 agent and 4.1.3.2 agents are Clean Access agents, and the 4.6.x and 4.7.x agents are called NAC agents.
    Some of the changes made were moving a lot of the agent configuration to an XML file, redesigning the GUI, adding a service portion (so that the stub agent is no longer required), and better agent logging.

  • Clean Access Agent error

    Hi there
    I don't know why, every time I try to log on to Clean Access agent I get this error message. (see attached doc.) It prevents me from logging on. Then I have to remove the program, turn off the pc. Turn on the pc again to reinstall the program for it to works.
    can anyone help?
    many thanks

    What version are you running of CCA Agent and NAC Appliance Server ?
    This is not normal behaviour so can you try to disable AV, Firewall etc and try running the Agent Again.
    The Agent will poll every 5 secs to discover the CAS, using the Discovery Host which will either be an IP or hostname. If it is a hostname make sure it is resolvable.

  • Clean access agent keep on running again and again

    Added some registry checks in NAC 4.5 after that Clean access Agent keeps on running again and again on the client(looping)
    Thanks

    Philip,
    Windows 7 wasn't supported with CCA till 4.7.x and agents also have to be 4.7.x
    Best approach would be to get to a supported version and then if that doesn't work we can work with you to see what might be causing this.

  • Problem with Clean Access Agent and Windows Updater

    I have a problem with a laptop when using Cisco Clean Access Agent. The agent keeps directing the laptop to get updates from the Windows Update site, but when I have connected the laptop via cable, windows updates tells me there are no updates either essential or optional. The laptop is a Sony VIVO VGN-FJ270 running XP Home Edition SP2 and the Clean Access Agent is version 4.0.2.1
    Any help is appreciated!!

    Verify the allowed hosts in CCA agent.

  • Clean Access Agent in Windows 8, 64 bit

    Hey guys,
    I posted this on another Cisco community site, someone there suggested I try here. He also gave me this page as a possible solution but I'm unable to download from the page as I don't have a service contract, I'm just a Dad trying to get his kid's computer online at school.
    http://www.cisco.com/cisco/software/release.html?mdfid=282855549&flowid=34712&softwareid=282573326&release=4.8.3&relind=AVAILABLE&rellifecycle=&reltype
    Kind of at our wit's end here. My daughter is at Mass Art in Boston with a nearly new computer (6 months old at most) with Windows 8 Pro and the Clean Access Agent isn't letting her connect saying she has no updated AV installed. However, we did have BitDefender installed and updated and I've seen BitDefender on a Cisco list on line somewhere, the tech department at the school also said that it should work. Thinking there might be a conflict with BitDefender and Windows Defender we uninstalled BitDefender but to no avail, the agent still won't allow access.
    Now the tech dept. at the school is telling her she has to reformat her hard drive (Ha!!) which is simply and completely unacceptable.
    Does anyone here know if the above link may solve our problem?
    Can someone send me the necessary files?
    Is there someone the school tech people can contact for this?
    Am I asking enough annoying questions?
    Many thanks for your time,
    Ken

    Hello Ajay,
    When I try to download either the "4.8.3 Patch for Windows 8 support" or the "4.8.3 Patch for Windows 8 Official support" it says I need a service contract. Which, of course, I don't have. I'm just a Dad trying to get his kids computer connected to the school's network!
    Do you know what the difference is between the "4.8.3 Patch for Windows 8 support" and the "4.8.3 Patch for Windows 8 Official support" downloads?
    Might you be able to email me what I need to [email protected]?
    I don't know how all of this works between the school and Cisco but if you can't send it to me might it be something the tech support people at the school can download? I would have to guess they do, indeed, have a service contract.
    Thanks again,
    Ken

  • Clean Access Agent

    Hello
    Has anybody seen this error before... it's the first time I see it.
    "The Server Response could not be Parsed [12152]"
    I get this error only in one machine in-band & out-of-band.
    Thanks For any help

    Check the following as one of them would be causing this error in clean access agent:
    1)Ensure that clock on the CAM and CAS are synchronized to be less than 5 mins apart.
    2) Check all the switch configs to make sure they are good.
    3) Check if the vlans are pruned. If they are not pruned then prune vlans as this could be overloading the mac table
    4) Check if you have configured managed subnets for all the vlans passing through CAS? If not, could configure it in [Device Management -> CCA
    Servers -> Advanced -> Managed Subnets]
    Also providing the event Log and CAS log will help us to troubleshoot the issue better.

  • Clean Access Agent MSI

    Does anyone know the msi commands to remove the shortcut on the desktop and not display the agent on the task bar?
    Thanks

    The Clean Access Agent provides local-machine agent-based vulnerability assessment and remediation for Windows clients. Users download and install the Clean Access Agent (read-only client software), which can check the host registry, processes, applications, and services. The Clean Access Agent can be used to perform antivirus or antispyware definition updates, distribute files uploaded to the Clean Access Manager, distribute website links to websites in order for users to download files to fix their systems, or simply distribute information/instructions.

  • Clean Access Agent can't popup

    Hi, we setup a CAS and CAM in L2 OOB virtuil gateway and the switch is a 3560 using SVI and L3 for routing. We can authenticate using web agent but there is a problem when using a Clean Access agent. I have configured the discovery host using the ip address of the CAM but the login doesn't popup. I changed the discovery host of the ip of the server and tried reinstalling the access agent but login doesn't popup. Do I need to reboot the server when i changed the ip of the discovery host?What do i need to configure on the CAM or CAS?

    For L2 or L3 deployments, the Clean Access Agent will pop up on the client if "Popup Login Window" is enabled on the Agent and the Agent detects it is behind the Clean Access Server. If the Agent does not pop up, this indicates it cannot reach the CAS.
    To Troubleshoot L2 Deployments:
    1. Make sure the client machine can get a correct IP address. Open a command tool (Start > Run > cmd) and type ipfconfig or ipconfig /all to check the client IP address information.
    2. If necessary, type ipconfig /release, then ipconfig /renew to reset the DHCP lease for the client.
    To Troubleshoot L3 Deployments:
    1. Check whether the Discovery Host field is set to the IP address of the CAM itself under Device Management > Clean Access > Clean Access Agent > Installation | Discovery Host. This field must be the address of a device on the trusted side and cannot be the address of the CAS.
    2. Uninstall the Clean Access Agent on the client.
    3. Change the Discovery Host field to the IP address of the CAM and click Update.
    4. Reboot the CAS.
    5. Re-download and re-install the Clean Access Agent on the client.
    Note The Login option on the Clean Access Agent is correctly disabled (greyed out) in the following cases:
    •For OOB deployments, the Agent user is already logged in through the CAS and the client port is on the Access VLAN.
    •For multi-hop L3 deployments, Single Sign-On (SSO) has been enabled and the user has already authenticated through the VPN concentrator (therefore is already automatically logged into Cisco NAC Appliance).
    •MAC address-based authentication is configured for the machine of this user and therefore no user login is required.
