Ordering Cisco ISE
Hi Everyone,
We are a Small company with 400-Users and currently we are using ACS 4.2 at our company. we want to upgrade and use Cisco ISE Appliance instead.
I want to know is there any major changes in configurtaion between ACS 4.2 and the ISE Latest Verison..............?
Is there any Hardware (Switch or Cisco AP ) compatibility issues with using Cisco ISE. (we are currently using Cisco Cat 3550 and Cisco Aironet 2600 APs with the existing ACS4.2)
What ISE Series & what Soft version are the latest so i can order ?
Thank You
Imran,
When ordering cisco ISE there are certain SKUs that will allow you purchase and deploy the equipment, however there are conditions where you will have to rely on an ATP to prepare, plan and implement the solution for you. Here is the information that you are looking for along with the hardware compatibility matrix.

Cisco ISE 1.2 monitoring and Reporting
Hi Ali
We're trying to determine how many addtional Base licenses we have to purchase in order to be compliant in our Cisco ISE 1.2 platforms (already have 1500 CISE 1.2 Base licenses in production).
Is there any means to monitoring (e.g SNMP polling) and get scheduled reports showing the numbers of used licenses for a period ?
looking forward to heard you back -
Cisco ISE - Reauthentication of client if server becomes alive again
Dears,
I have this case where Cisco ISE server is used to authenticate & authorize clients on the network.
I configured the switch port to authorize the client in case the ISE server is dead (or not reachable).
The thing is that I want to reauthenticate the client once the ISE server becomes alive again but I am not able to.. ("Additional Information is needed to connect to this network" bullet is not appearing and the client PC remains authenticated and assigned to the VLAN.
Below is the switch port configuration:
interface FastEthernet0/5
switchport access vlan 240
switchport mode access
switchport voice vlan 156
authentication event server dead action authorize vlan 240
authentication event server alive action reinitialize
authentication host-mode multi-domain
authentication order dot1x mab
authentication priority mab
authentication port-control auto
mab
dot1x pae authenticator
spanning-tree portfast
Anyone can help?
Regards,Please check whether the switch is dropping the connection or the server.
Symptoms or Issue
802.1X and MAB authentication and authorization are successful, but the switch is dropping active sessions and the epm session summary command does not display any active sessions.
Conditions
This applies to user sessions that have logged in successfully and are then being terminated by the switch.
Possible Causes
•The preauthentication ACL (and the subsequent DACL enforcement from Cisco ISE) on the NAD may not be configured correctly for that session.
•The preauthentication ACL is configured and the DACL is downloaded from Cisco ISE, but the switch brings the session down.
•Cisco ISE may be enforcing a preposture VLAN assignment rather than the (correct) postposture VLAN, which can also bring down the session.
Resolution
•Ensure the Cisco IOS release on the switch is equal to or more recent than Cisco IOS Release 12.2.(53)SE.
•Check to see whether or not the DACL name in Cisco ISE contains a blank space (possibly around or near a hyphen "-"). There should be no space in the DACL name. Then ensure that the DACL syntax is correct and that it contains no extra spaces.
•Ensure that the following configuration exists on the switch to interpret the DACL properly (if not enabled, the switch may terminate the session):
radius-server attribute 6 on-for-login-auth
radius-server attribute 8 include-in-access-req
radius-server attribute 25 access-request include
radius-server vsa send accounting
radius-server vsa send authentication -
Cisco ISE in Apple Mac Environment
Hi,
One of our clients need to implement BYOD in their network. They are using Mac servers and clients. The requirement is to authenticate (wireless) users against the Mac directory server, in order to provide access to resources. I am trying to figure out whether Cisco ISE can perform LDAP authentication with Mac server. As per this document, Mac server is not a supported external identity source/LDAP server. Currently they are providing access to users by adding MAC addresses to WLC manually, which is not practical now due to increase in number of end devices, and limitation in MAC addresses supported by WLC (2048).
Is it possible to implement this? Has anyone came across similar scenario?
Thanks,
JohnThe Cisco Identity Services Engine (Cisco ISE) integrates with external identity sources to validate credentials in user authentication functions, and to retrieve group information and other attributes that are associated with the user for use in authorization policies. You must configure the external identity source that contains your user information in Cisco ISE. External identity sources also include certificate information for the Cisco ISE server and certificate authentication profiles.
Both internal and external identity sources can be used as the authentication source for sponsor authentication and also for authentication of remote guest users.
Table 5-1 lists the identity sources and the protocols that they support.

Cisco ISE - multiple AD - trust relationships
Hello,
I have a customer who has multple AD forests and an ISE deployment running 1.1.3.
The customer scenario is as follows - there is an Internal AD forest (internal users) and an External AD forest (external users such as consultants). The objective is to use Cisco ISE to authenticate and authorize the users in both AD forests. CIsco ISE is connected to the Internal AD forest.
We know that multiple AD support is coming in 2014 with versioon 1.3 - other options such as LDAP/EAP-TLS are not a viable option for the customer.
1. Currently – the Internal AD forest has an External, Non-transitive – one-way trust with the External Forest
a. The objective here is to use a feature called Selective Authentication in order to filter the outgoing requests from the External Forest to the Internal Forest – this is a selective trust feature that can be used to control access to specific resources in Internal Forest and for authentication between Internal/External Forest via Cisco ISE
b. Preliminary testing has shown that a one way trust seems to work for Cisco ISE authentication/authorization
c. Further testing is underway to test the Selective Authentication feature (ie restrict access to specific resources etc…)
Question : has any one used this and is this a supported method by Cisco (I know they mention a mutual trust relationship is required)?
2. We are exploring a second scenario - the Internal AD forest will have an External, Non-transitive – two-way trust with the External Forest
a. Same objectives as in 1 – we would attempt to use the Selective Authentication in the following fashion (this is an example)
i. External Forest has outgoing filter to allow access to specific resources in Internal Forest, and for authentication
ii. Internal Forest has incoming filter to deny access to all resources in External Forest
In this case we would filter so it resembles a 1 way trust relationship - anyone try this, anyone know if this would be a supported method by Cisco?
Thanks in advance for your replies.
Robert C.Cisco has published a nice new guide on Active Directory integration with ISE 1.3. As noted there:
"Cisco ISE can connect with multiple Active Directory domains that do not have a two-way trust or have zero trust between them. Active Directory multi-domain join comprises a set of distinct Active Directory domains with their own groups, attributes, and authorization policies for each join."
I've setup one such deployment just recently and found it quite simple to just add the second domain and use it an en external identity source accordingly. -
Cisco ISE: Error 5411 No response received ...
Hi all,
we've been running Cisco ACS version 4.x half a year ago, but decided to upgrade to Cisco ISE. So we've made a fresh installation with our cisco partner. At the moment we're live with this equipment, but running in a lot of troubles, as we're receiving a lot of those errors each day. Once the users restart their PCs a few times the problem is solved, but at the moment its pretty annoying:

Cisco ISE 1.1 Guest Portal Services
Do you have to have separate ISE appliances or VM clusters to have have 2 separate "Guest Portal" services?
I have two sites that have their own equipment (Arizona / Illinois):
- Cisco ISE Server
- Cisco Wireless LAN Controller
- Cisco Wireless Anchor Controller
- Cisco ASA
My understanding is that I'd need to have the ISE boxes running in "STAND ALONE" mode in order to have two separate "Guest Networks / Portal".
Thanks in advance!!!Hi,
Each Cisco ISE policy services node can run a guest portal also if they run in one deployment.
Depending on the way you mean "separate", your requirement can be met in one deployment or in two stand alone deployments.
Depending on your approach you need four Cisco ISE machines to build the in "one deployment" option.
2 Admin/Monitoring Nodes (Admin is Active/Standby, Monitoring is Active/Active) and two Policy Services Nodes (RADIUS Servers). Both Policy Services Nodes can run the guestportal. The configuration of the WLC determines which Policy Services Node is being used. ISE use RADIUS URL redirect is used to redirect to it's own guest portal.
Hope that helps. -
Strip multiple @domain used in username on AD Integration with Cisco ISE?
Hi there ,
How to strip multiple domain suffixes from username through ISE with AD being used as external Identity Source. Username is being used in username@domain format.
Cisco ISE 1.2 patch 4 introduced strip prefix or suffix @domain realm from username through ISE with AD being used as external Identity Source. But the documentation is not updated for this feature. I am able to strip 1 domain suffix successfully but subsequent ones listed in the suffix list fails to get stripped.
Any thoughts on the same.
Thanks KumarIn the ISE Under Administration > Identity Management > External Identity Sources
Choose Active Directory on the Left, Select your AD Server and select Advanced Settings
Under Identity Suffix Strip, Make sure Strip prefixes listed below: is selected (I know, it says prefix).
In the List of Suffixes box, enter your list of domain suffixes to strip. The separating character is a comma (,).
If this doesn't fix your issue, then I am afraid that a call to TAC may be in order.
*****UPDATE*****
Spaces are significant characters. When listing domains, do so as such:
@domain.com,@domain.local,@testdomain.com
*****END UPDATE*****

Dears,
I want to configurate guest portal(Central Web authentication) for wireless client on Cisco ISE. I confuse that:
Must i configure redirect ACL in switch? If yes which access-group or which interface i applied this redirect ACL?
I read that must be create redirect ACL in WLC.I also do my configuration form these guide. In this guide write that:
reate the Authorization Profile
On the ISE, the authorization profile must be created. Then, the authentication and authorization policies are configured. The WLC should already be configured as a network device.
In the authorization profile, enter the name of the ACL created earlier on the WLC.
Click Policy, and then click Policy Elements.
Click Results.
Expand Authorization, and then click Authorization profile.
Click the Add button in order to create a new authorization profile for central webauth.
In the Name field, enter a name for the profile. This example uses WLC_CWA.
Choose ACCESS_ACCEPT from the Access Type drop-down list.
Check the Web Redirection check box, and choose Centralized Web Auth from the drop-down list.
In the ACL field, enter the name of the ACL on the switch that defines the traffic to be redirected. This examples usescwa_redirect.
this confuse me. -
Cisco ISE and Fast User Switching
Greetings,
In our deployment, we are interested in utilizing the "Fast User Switching" that is contained within the Windows Functionality. After searching for quite a while, I see that the native Windows supplicant is not compatible with Fast User Switching. It does not appear that Anyconnect is either. Can you please inform me as to what suppluicant I would need to research in order to allow for the User Switchign Functionality?
We are currently using ISE 1.2 Patch 4.
Thank You for any assistance.
DavidThe NAC Agent for Cisco ISE does not support Windows Fast User Switching when using the native supplicant. This is because there is no clear disconnect of the older user. When a new user is sent, the Agent is hung on the old user process and session ID, and hence a new posture cannot take place. As per the Microsoft Security policies, it is recommended to disable Fast User Switching.

Cisco ISE - Computer and User Authenticiation on AD for Wireless Clients.
Hello all,
I am trying to configure Cisco ISE to authenticate/authorize Wireless access with PEAP MsChapv2.
The AD user authorization works fine, but I cannot see on the logs a challenge for the computer verification (it must be a domain member).
I have found an attribute I would use for this action, but I cannot use it, because I don't see the challenge for the computer challenge.
Can you explain me if this fact is involved by the ISE configuration or by the client configuration ?
Thanks a lot for your help.
The followings screenshots show the logs appearing in the ISE :
Kind regards, Emeric.This is a great question and I wanted to add my input and I have a question as well. My understanding in order to do both Machine and User EAP-Chaining is required, which used EAP-FAST.
In my testing, when a domain box is configured for computer/user authentication. When the laptop started up it will authenticate with a host/ and sid in the log.
When the user logs in you then see the user ID.
For my benefit when rule are you talking about ?
Thank you -
Hi All,
I'm currently writing a HLD for a Cisco ISE rollout in my organization, and I've come across sort-of-an-issue:
I'm planning on getting the guests in through the ISE Guest portal, but I also want to push them through an authenticated proxy(for accounting purposes) instead of a transparent one... however, I can't seem to find a way to somehow integrate Ironport and ISE in order to achieve some sort of an SSO, to avoid users having to enter their credentials twice(guest portal and ironport)- has anyone got a working solution for this?
Any constructive input appreciated!
Thanks!Thanks for the swift responses and suggestions!
I'll most certainly have a look at the proposals...
However, I still want the guest users to go through the S370, as it's not only for accounting purposes, but I want them to authenticate, since it would make tracing and pinning events to a person way easier - that's the main reason why I'm trying to find a solution that might act like an SSO. The business side stated that signing in twice(ISE guest portal, then proxy) is unacceptable. I know that there's no direct integration between ISE and Ironport at the moment, and I am going to put in a feature request for that, but for the time being, I am really keen on getting this to work somehow...
BTW - I'm currently using a virtualised ISE, release 1.1.4., And I've got the 3395's on order... -
CISCO ISE ISSUE 24206 User disabled
Hi there,
We have here an issue with Cisco ISE. When I create a guest account with the sponsor portal We can´t access the Wlan. On tne Cisco ISE Operations \ Authentications returns the error message Event "Authentication" Faulure Reason "24206 User Disabled" Auth Method "PAP_ASCII" Authentication Protocol "PAP_ASCII"
In order to fix this issue, what can I do? I don´t understand why because I can create the user withou error message.
At the sponsor portal the user that I have created doens´t show at the list...
Any help??
Regards
AdrianoSelect the affected account and click Reinstate.
It is possible, that your sponsor account does not have the permission to Reinstate/Suspend accounts. Check/change this in your ISE admin page:
- Go to Administration > Guest Management > Sponsor Groups.
- Click the Sponsor Group your sponsor account is a member of to edit.
- Select tab Authorization Levels: view/modify the permission listed for the option Suspend/reinstate Accounts.

I suppose Cisco ISE sends a URL redirect to the switch and the switch presents it to the client in case of guest Access getting a URL redirect with User Acceptance Page (Wired Guests and not wireless).
My question here is, Do we need to configure http and https server on the switches (both supplicant and authenticator)?
I am sure it will need but just wanted a confirmation..
I have checked the configuration for supplicant and Authenticator switches for ISE and it has no where mentioned that part of the config.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/ise/1.0/user_guide/ise10_troubleshooting.html (a problem of URL redirection and possible cause is mentioned) ------- makes me sure that the config is needed.
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/switches/lan/catalyst2960x/software/15-0_2_EX/security/configuration_guide/b_sec_152ex_2960-x_cg/b_sec_152ex_2960-x_cg_chapter_010000.html
(config of supplicant and authenticator switch)---- nowhere mentioned of the http/https config for both switches.Yes, its needed. The http/s server within the swtich is used to grab the http user traffic and redirect the traffic to the CWA portal, or a device registration portal, or even to the Mobile Device Management (MDM) onboarding portal. .
ip http server
ip http secure-server
The info below I grabbed from Cisco ISE for BYOD and secure unified access book.
"Many organization want to ensure that this redirection process using the switch's internal HTTP server is decoupled from the management of the switch itself, in order to limit the chances of an end user interacting with the management intervace and control plane of a switch. this may be accomplished by running the following two commands from global configuration mode:
ip http active-session-modules none
ip http secure-active-session-modules none"
