Posture Assessment with ISE for smartphones

Hi support community..
I would like to know if is posible to implement NAC for smartphones (android phones, iphone, ipads basically) using the ISE. the primary goal would be check that the smartphone has a Antivirus installed.
Many Thanks in advance.

I second Richard on the fact that it can't be done. However, I was going through this and wanted to share in case it helps.

ISE 1.2 Posture Assessment with AnyConnect Client

Hi Experts,
I need clarity for posture assessment with AnyConnect client. I understood that we had traditional NAC agent with ISE 1.1.
Since new Anyconnect version 4 has come which is used for ISE 1.3 posture assessment however I am not sure if I can use Anyconnect 4 with ISE 1.2 ? Can you please put light on this ?
if not , do I need to upgrade to ISE 1.3 ? what is the process to upgrade to ISE 1.3 ?
Thanks in advance

ISE can provision clients with agent and configure agent profiles.You have Client-provisioning policies that enable users to download and install resources on client devices.(Windows and Mac OS X NAC Agents, Cisco NAC Web Agent.

Using external radius with ise for guest authentication

Hi Everyone,
I am trying to migrate from NAC Guest Server to Cisco ISE Guest CWA on wireless, and can't figure out whether what i am trying is just unsupported or i just can't find out how to do this ?
I am attempting to authenticate my existing guest users, using a radius lookup towards my existing NAC Guest server, which has many hundred guest users with long account duration, which i really don't want to recreate on ISE, and send new passwords to all those users. Problem is i can't export the user list from NAC guest server with the password intact, and ISE can't import guest users with a set password.
Any ideas ?

Setting up ISE as radius proxy server will work because NAC guest user does not support exporting user information with passwords
Step 1 Choose Administration > Network Resources > External RADIUS Servers.
The External RADIUS Servers page appears.
Step 2 Click Filter > Advanced Filter to perform your search. The Filter page appears.
Step 3 You must define whether the search should match any or all of the rules that you define on this page.
Step 4 Enter your search criteria based on the name or description of the RADIUS server, choose an operator, and enter the value.
Step 5 You can do the following:
•To add a filter condition, click the plus sign (+).
•To remove a filter condition, click the minus sign (-).
•To clear all filter conditions, click Clear Filter.
Step 6 Click Go to perform your search.
You can also save the filter criteria so that it can be used again. Click the Save icon to save the filter condition.

Pre-login posture assessment - possible with ISE?

Does anyone know if it is possible (or not) to have a windows machine posture assessed on boot? ie. before anyone logs in on it. Currently, I have to log in on my machine before the assessment starts. It would be good to have assessment begin as soon as the machine boots so that (assuming the machine passes assessment) it is completed by the time I log in. We are using the NAC Agent with ISE1.2.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

As far as i know, the posture agent does not do anything before user has logged in, i have never seen a posture report in ise, that indicates anything else, because you would get many failed posture compliance checks, if it did (checking user keys, user files, av status and so on in machine land).

Simple Web Auth policy and simple posture assessment policy in ISE

G'day All,
I've just finished reading through the Cisco BYOD with ISE document and it's left me a little more confused than when I started.
I completely understand the onboarding process and the different policy elements that make up the self registration/onboarding configuration.
What I'd like to do is put together an ISE configuration that is a lot simpler for the BYOD user.
Is anyone able to advise if it is possible to have a single dot1x SSID with ISE that has a policy for Window Laptops using AD authentication for the user and Posture assessment and a policy for all smart devices (iOS and Android) that is just AD authentication of the user, without the need for device registration?
The target user demographic for my deployment are really not technical so having to go through the onboarding process, especially for the Android devices, with the pre-installation of the cisco app, etc, really isn't what they are looking for.
Huge thanks for any assistance.
Cheers,
JS

Yes, that's possible. But without "device registration" then you need to configure Wireless 802.1x manually in every Android device.
Please rate if that helps.

Cisco ISE inline posture node Posture assessment query

Hi all,
i read the user guide for the ISE 1.1 and in the Inline posture section, I picked up the following text which concerned me if I understand it right...
"In a deployment, such as outlined in the example, when more endpoints connect to the wireless network
they are likely to fall into one of the identity groups that already have authenticated and authorized users
connected to the network.
For instance, there may be an employee, executive, and guest that have been granted access through the
outlined steps. This situation means that the respective restrictive or full-access profiles for those ID
groups have already been installed on the Inline Posture node. The subsequent endpoint authentication
and authorization uses the existing installed profiles on the Inline Posture node, unless the original
profiles have been modified at the Cisco ISE policy configuration. In the latter case, the modified profile
with ACL is downloaded and installed on the Inline Posture node, replacing the previous version."
Does this mean that if a corporate user VPNs in and successfully passes posture and gets a dACL applied to the session allowing full access, will the next user completely skip posture assessment and granted full access to the network if they are a member of the same AD group?
I am planning on using the iPEP for posturing VPN clients and using AD groups to determine the correct dACL to apply to a particular VPN session.
Thanks!
Mario

I'm not too familiar with the actual operations of the Inline Posture node, but it seems to me that the only things that are more or less "cached" are the authentication and authorization profiles that have been previously matched. So, even if they're "cached" and a endpoint matches and authorizes based on those policies, it would match on the policy that provides a pre-posture state. So, a PRE-POSTURE ACL would be pushed and an URL redirect would also occur to the NAC agent download portal (if the endpoint doesn't have it already).
After posture is assessed, a change of authorization would occur and reauthorize that endpoint's session.
So, in short, even if the profiles are cached, they only deliver pre-posture profiles. After posture assessment, the endpoint is goes through reauth via CoA.
If you have access to the partner education connection, I suggest checking out the VoE deep dive series for ISE. There's a posture presentation that would probably help you out.

ISE post compliant posture assessment URL redirection

G'day All,
Is anyone aware if it is possible for ISE to push a URL redirection to user devices once they have passed the posture assessment?
I am deploying a wireless BYOD ise deployment with AD auth and posture assessment, and we are hoping to find an easy way to push the compliant users to a new URL once they have passed posture.
Thanks gang.
Cheers,
James.

It is not possible to redirect user after authentication and posturing to a specific URL. because ISE does not support this feature till now.
I think URL redirection can be done in web authentication if used in case of employee.
Navigate to Policy > Policy Elements > Results > Authorization and then select Authorization Profiles
Step 18 Select Add to create a new Authorization Profile for Central Web Authentication:
Name
Central_Web_Auth
Description
(optional)
Access-Type
ACCESS_ACCEPT
DACL   Name
CENTRAL_WEB_AUTH
Centralized   Web Authentication
ACL:
ACL-WEBAUTH-REDIRECT
                                                          Redirect : Default
“ACL-WEBAUTH-REDIRECT” is configured on switch which determines to which destination it will redirect

Prerequisite to enable Profiling for posture assessment to check the AV, Patches, OS update

Hi Experts,
I have wireless set-up with two SSID , one is used for corporate users with dot1x auth and other one for guest using CWA .
I understood that , i do not need to buy any license or pay to cisco for Wireless license however i want to understand for enabling profiling for posture assessment .
I understood that I need have advance license for posture assessment however I am looking out for information about costing to buy advance license and is there any prereuisite to configure posture assessment other than additional license?

There were a few changes in ISE v1.3:
- Base License = The same
- Plus License = The same (with some more features)
- Advanced License = Apex
- Wireless = Mobility (Now it includes VPN based authentications as well)
So your plan is to run the new version of ISE (1.3) and AnyConnect 4 then you will need to have:
- ISE Mobility License (Includes Base, Plus and Apex for wireless and VPN)
- AnyConnect APEX license - This one is on the honer system and it is not installed on ISE
If you plan to use posture on wired as well then instead of the "mobility" license you will need to get:
- ISE Base
- ISE Plus
- ISE Apex
- AnyConnect Apex
Thank you for rating helpful posts!

Posture Assessment passed in Error using Cisco ISE

Hi all,
I would like some help trying to understand why a client that has not been connected to the network for just over a month was allowed full network access despite the AV definitions being over 28days old.
We have 2 mandatory posture requirements,
1. Symantec Av MUST be installed
2. the AV definitions MUST be LESS THAN 28 days out of date
Currently, the machine I have is showing the AV defs as being 25th March 2013.
When I produce the detailed posture report, it even shows me that the two mandatory requirements as described above were successfully meant meaning the endpoint is posture compliant. Clearly this is not the case though...!
Is there anything else I can check on the ISE to help debug this?
Mario

Hi,
You might have two problems:
1. In ISE you have a gobal setting regarding the unsupported NAC Agent clients (Android, etc) that specifies what is their default compliance status. If the default setting is "compliant" and you don't have a provisioning rule for that client or you simply don't have client provisioning rules, any machine that doesn't fit in the provisioning rule (ie ISE thinks that is not supported) will get a compliance status of compliant event though NAC Agent is installed and the rules are not satisfied.
2. NAC Agent version problem?
I've seen in logs that you're using NAC Agent 4.9.1.6 but the latest recommended version of NAC Agent to be used with (the latest) ISE is version 4.9.0.51.
Version 4.9.1.6 is a NAC Appliance release and Cisco offers no guarantee that is 100% compatible with ISE.
Check
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/ise/1.1.1/compatibility/ise_sdt.html#wp78131
Cisco NAC Agent Interoperability Between NAC Appliance and Identity Services Engine (ISE) Cisco supports different versions of the NAC Agent for integration with NAC Appliance and ISE. Current releases are developed to work in either environment, however, interoperability between deployments is not guaranteed. Therefore, there is no explicit interoperability support for a given NAC Agent version intended for one environment that will necessarily work in the other. If you require support for both NAC Appliance and ISE using a single NAC Agent, be sure to test NAC Agent in your specific environment to verify compatibility. Unless there is a specific defect or feature required for your NAC Appliance deployment, Cisco recommends deploying the most current agent certified for your ISE deployment. If an issue arises, Cisco recommends restricting the NAC Agent's use to its intended environment and contacting Cisco TAC for assistance. Cisco will be addressing this issue through the standard Cisco TAC support escalation process, but NAC Agent interoperability is not guaranteed. Cisco is working on an approach to address NAC Agent interoperability testing and support in an upcoming release.

Cisco ISE Vs Cisco Anyconnect Posture module with Advanced Endpoint Protection

We are planning to use cisco Anyconnect posture module with Adv Endpoint protection to examine the VPN users- This can check whether they a antivirus/anti spyware software installed on their work station and can force to update def file if its older than specified number of days, it can also check the firewall status on their workstation and enable if its not already.This can detect keylogger and emulation softwares also.
Do we get any additional advantages in using ISE compared to Anyconnect posture module ......
Siddhartha

These are good questions. We had them last year before we decided to purchase ISE, specifically for our VPN users.
I will be watching this thread to see what kind of responses you get.
As of right now, I can verify the ISE can indeed check if specific Anti-Virus is installed (i.e., your corporate AntiVirus), or if ANY (supported by Cisco within ISE) antivirus is installed, and it can force an update process for the AV if it detects that the DAT files are older than a admin specified amount of time.
Our issue at the moment (if you haven't searched the forums) is ISE detected the proper WSUS updates are indeed installed on the users systems and allowing the users system to talk to our internal WSUS server.
We are now wondering if the Advanced Endpoint licensing on the ASA would have been a better way to go.
Wishing you luck in finding your answers for us all.

ISE Posture Assessment

Hi,
While reading about ISE posture, I got to know that ISE searches” User Agent” attribute for string “NAC Agent” to confirm that NAC agent is present on particular machine.This information is passed to ISE when user opens Web Browser i.e. user gets redirected
If NAC agent is not present on machine then NAC agent will get downloaded and then Posture assessment starts.
While testing this on ISE, I noticed that
If NAC agent is already present on machine then directly posture assessment starts even without opening web browser.
Now my question is, how ISE does come to know that NAC agent is already present on machine without opening web browser.
Regards,
Aditya

I second Richard on the fact that it can't be done. However, I was going through this and wanted to share in case it helps.

Using ISE for guest access together with anchor controller WLC in DMZ

Hi there,
I setup a guest WLAN in our LAB environment. I have one internal WLC connection to an anchor controller in our DMZ. I'm using the WLC integrated web-auth portal which works fine.
To gain more flexibility regarding guest account provisioning and reporting my idea is to use Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) for web-authentication. So the anchor controller in the DMZ would redirect the guest clients to the ISE portal.
As the ISE is located on the internal network while the guest clients end up in the DMZ network this would mean that I have to open the web-auth portal port of ISE for all guest client IPs in order to be able to authenticate.
Does anyone know of a better solution for this ? Where to place the ISE for this scenario, etc ?
Thx
Frank

So i ran into a similar scenario on a recent deployment:
We had the following:
WLC-A on private network (Inside)
ISE Servers ISE01 and ISE02 (Inside)
WLC-B Anchor in DMZ for Guest traffic (DMZ)
ISE Server 3 (DMZ)
ISE01 and ISE02 are used for 802.1X for the private network WLAN.
Customer does not allow guest traffic to move from a less secure network to a more secure network (Compliance reasons).
The foreign controller (WLC-A) must handle all L2 authentication and it must use the same policy node that the clients will hit for web auth. Since we want to do CWA, we use Mac Filtering with ISE as the radius server. If you send this traffic RADIUS authentication for Mac Filtering to ISE01/ISE02, it will use https://ise01.mydomain.com/... to redirect the client to. Since we don't allow traffic to traverse from the DMZ with the anchor in it back inside to the network where ISE01 and ISE02 are, client redirection fails. (This was a limitation of ISE 1.1. Not sure if this persists in 1.2 or not.
So what now? In our deployment we decided to use a 3rd ISE policy node (ISE03 in the DMZ) for guest authentiction from the Foreign controller so that the client will use a DNS of https://ise03.mydomain.com/... to redirect the client to. Once the session is authenticated, ISE03 will send a CoA back to the foreign which will remove the redirect for the session. Note, you do have to allow ISE03 to send a CoA.
In summary, if you can't allow guest traffic to head back inside the network to hit the CWA portal, you must add a policy node in a DMZ to use for the CWA portal so they have a resolvable and reachable policy node.

Guest Posture Assessment for MAC OSX

Hi I Have A Prepaid Smart Phone Right Now With Verizon For About 7-Months So Far. I Have Always Paid On Time No Missed Payments Good Standing Account, I Tried To Switch Over To A 2-Year Contract With Verizon And They Wanted A $400 Deposit For Only 1-Line. Is There Anyway I Can Use My Excellent Payment History With There Prepaid Department To Switch To A 2-Year Contract And Not Have To Pay The $400 Deposit. And This Is Due To The Fact I Have No Credit History Whatsoever

Since you have no credit history, my guess is you would need at least a year of on time payments, and I'm not sure a pre-paid account would qualify as you can stop at any time.
You didn't specify your age, but getting started int he credit world is not easy - you may try applying for a gas card, or a credit card, and USE them, pay them off each month - and expect to take a year or more to establish a record.
