SSL-Certificates on WLC 5508

I'm trying to upload an SSL-certificate(.PEM) to a WLC 5508 via the "Management->HTTP-HTTPS"-Tab, but always get the error messages:
*TransferTask: Mar 30 07:51:20.882: %UPDATE-3-CERT_INST_FAIL: updcode.c:1276 Failed to install Webauth certificate. rc = 1
*TransferTask: Mar 30 07:51:20.882: %SSHPM-3-KEYED_PEM_DECODE_FAILED: sshpmcert.c:4028 Cannot PEM decode private key
any idea how to resolve this problem?

Yes, the password is entered correctly, double checked that again
(does the ios probably not like special characters as password, such as ! or / ?)
is there a maximum lenght for encryption keys? its 2048 right now
otherwise i did as explained in http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk722/tk809/technologies_configuration_example09186a00806e367a.shtml
(the .pem is not the root certificate, only a server ca)
edit: ok "Management" tab would have been the wrong attempt in the first place, it seems (actually want to be it a webauth not a webadmin certificate), "Security->web auth->certificate" seems to be the way to go, according to http://www.entrust.net/knowledge-base/technote.cfm?tn=8029 still the same problem though.http://www.entrust.net/knowledge-base/technote.cfm?tn=8029
1 – Your SSL certificate (webserver)
2 - The Entrust cross certificate (L1C)
3 – The Entrust Root certificate (Entrust 2048 root)
are all included in the certificate
Product Version.................................. 7.0.98.0 - so should be able to use chained certificates according to the first link.

Wireless certificate prompt - WLC 5508

When users connect to my companiees wireless, which authenicates using a Windows 2008 RADIUS server, they're prompted to accept a server certificate. I'd like to install a trusted SSL and prevent users from having to accept a cert every time they connect. This primarily happens on ipad/iphone devices.
How do I go about doing this? Do this on the controller? Or on the Radius server?
Wireless Controller: 5508
Thank you

Here is the solution:
If you have iOS devices—iPhones, iPads, or iPod Touchs—or Mac OS Lion machines on the network, you may want to use the iPhone Configuration Utility (iPCU) to help distribute the wireless settings to them. Apple offers the utility for both Windows and Mac OS X.
You can use the iPCU to create, encrypt, maintain, and install XML-based configuration profiles. In addition to Wi-Fi settings, these profiles can contain device security policies, VPN configuration, MS Exchange and email settings, and digital certificates. You can create profiles for specific users, groups, or a profile for all. You can either install the profiles directly from the computer running the iPCU or distribute the .mobile config. file via other means.
Note:This is one time process after distribution the profiles will be saved to the devices .
Mark it as correct if this resolve your issue.

Issue installing a SSL certificate on WLC

I have a certificate obtained from verisign for logging in a wireless campus network, and I'm installing it via TFTP to the WLC. At the end of the transference appear the next message
"TFTP WPS Signature file transfer starting.
TFTP receive complete... updating WPS signatures.
Error in signature file. Please check message log"
In WLC log files apears the next issues:
Thu Mar 12 15:39:55 2009 [ERROR] sig.c 758: ERROR reading revision number from new signature file
Thu Mar 12 15:39:55 2009 [ERROR] sig.c 531: ERROR parsing revision number
Thu Mar 12 15:39:55 2009 [ERROR] sig.c 459: ERROR: No value specified for token Bag Attributes
But I don't know what excactly that means, and how can I fix it.
For doing this work I followed a Cisco Guide for this approach, using the OpenSSL program.

I fixed the last issue, but now the certificate is already in the WLC but is not installed, the log file says:
Fri Mar 20 10:33:11 2009 [ERROR] sig.c 758: ERROR reading revision number from new signature file
Fri Mar 20 10:33:11 2009 [ERROR] sig.c 531: ERROR parsing revision number
Fri Mar 20 10:33:11 2009 [ERROR] sig.c 459: ERROR: No value specified for token
The compatibility is on. The file is .crt for testing i've changed for .cer and .pem but any of them has been successful

Problem uploading SSL certificat on a WLC 5508

Hello,
I'm trying to upload a SSL-certificate (RSA:2048) on a WLC 5508 via the "Management->HTTP-HTTPS" - Tab and get the following problem :
*TransferTask: Jul 18 16:36:14.487: %UPDATE-3-CERT_INST_FAIL: updcode.c:1276 Failed to install Webauth certificate. rc = 1
*TransferTask: Jul 18 16:36:14.487: %SSHPM-3-KEYED_PEM_DECODE_FAILED: sshpmcert.c:4028 Cannot PEM decode private key
I've generated it using the following commands:
# openssl pkcs12 -export -in my.crt -inkey my.key -certfile my.ca-bundle -out CA.pfx
# openssl pkcs12 -in CA.pfx -nodes -out CA.pem
But it doesn't work...
Does anyone have an idea?
Best regards,
Eric

Hello Eric,
I'm facing the same problem, when trying to upload a chained SSL certificate (2048bits) to the wlc version 7.0.116.0
Did you use an unchained certificate and what size is your cert?
According to a Cisco document, for controllers version 5.1.151.0 and later, only unchained certificates are supported for the management certificate.
I'm just wondering, if this limitation still applies to the newer versions.
Regards,
Oliver

SSL certificate on 5508 WLC

I am in the process of using OpenSSL to generate a device certificate for my 5508 WLC.
However, I had a question about DNS. The controller is on a guest network and is used for outside companies. I don't control their laptops/devices, and the controller is handing out a public DNS (8.8.8.8) for them to use. They simply log in and connect to the Internet.
I assume this is going to create a problem with the device certificate. Won't clients get a warning if they cannot resolve the name of the controller against the certificate? Aside from installing my own DNS server into that network, is there any way around this?

What I have done is create a certificate using your public domain and then adding an alias DNS record on your external DNS or public DNS server. Tie it to one of your public IP address and then use that public IP address for your VIP. That is a work around I have used.

ISE 1.2 / WLC 5508 EAP-TLS expired certificate error, but wireless still working

Hi I have a customer that we've deployed ISE 1.2 and WLC 5508s at. Customer is using EAP-TLS with and everything appears to setup properly. Users are able to login to the network and authenticate, however, frequently, I'm getting the following error in ISE authentication logs:
12516 EAP-TLS failed SSL/TLS handshake because of an expired certificate in the client certificates chain
OpenSSL messages are:
SSL alert: code=Ox22D=557 : source=local ; type=fatal : message="X509

rOYbne s: SSL 3_ G ET _CL IE NT _CE RT IF ICAT E:no ce rtific ate

I'm not sure if this is cosmetic or if this is something that I should be tracking down. System isn't in full production yet, but every client seems to be working and there is no expired cert in the chain. Any ideas what to check?

Hello Dino,
thanks very much for your reply.
The client uses a machine-certificate, the PKI is not a microsoft one, but a third party PKI. The certificate is fresh and valid, the root-cert is installed and checked to be validated against it for the login.
Clock is correct too. The same setup works flawlessly in Windows 7 and XP.
EKU is set on the certificate (1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.2)
I suspect the cert-setup itself, but don't get a clue where this might stuck...

WLC 5508 And Third Party SSL for Web Authenticaiton

Hello,
We are using WLC 5508 and currently the authentication process is via Customized WebAuth. As you know that with the WebAuth the authentication process won't work unless you launch Web Browser and you will be redirected to the Authentication Page where you type your username and password. This is a bit fuzzy for most of the users and what I'm thinking is to use different authentication mechanism where the user will automatically be prompted upon connecting to any SSID. I have read that Public/Thrid Party certificate will do this and any client can accept the public certificate.
Anyone can elaborate on this approach?
Regards,

With machines that are not part of the domain, typicall if you still want to secure them usin 802.1x, you would leverage a radius server and users would be told of the SSID to connect to and enter their AD credentials. Of course, if you use AD credentials, users will now join all their other devices to that SSID. This is where ISE comes in and you can profile devices. Even though the WLC with v7.6 can profile, it's not a full fledge profiler. Depending on how well you know radius, you can leverage a portal page also and depending on the AD group a user is a member of, you can out them is a specific Vlan or if you leverage interface groups. You can do many things, but you need to really know radius and client types to figure out what can and work well in your environment. Radius alone to someone who hasn't played with it, can take days to setup without help.
Every client I setup radius for is different and it comes down to how their users are setup in AD, what devices they have and the requirements.

WLC 5508-UC Certificate.

Hello All,
Does UC certificate is supported in cisco WLC 5508..?

Use a 3rd party certificate for sure for WebAuth.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6366/products_configuration_example09186a0080a77592.shtml
You can always upload a certificate for management, since its internal, you just need toile sure your UC root ca is trusted by the client machines.

WLC 5508 + NPS MS-CHAP v2 Auth problems

Hi,
I am having a lot of trouble trying to set up a Cisco WLC 5508 to use NPS on Windows Server 2008 as it's authentication.
When a client attempts to connect to the WLAN, the authentication is denied on Windows 7/Vista/XP, however, on Mac/iOS clients, it asks to accept the certificate (this is a public cert, issued by Entrust - however, it is a wildcard cert..), but then it will connect.
So I have two questions:
1/ Why won't the windows clients authenticate? If I set up the WLAN profile on the windows machine, and I deselect "Validate server certificate", then they connect just fine....
2/ Is it possible to make it so the user is not prompted to accept the certificate? Why can't this certificate be validated locally by the client?
Thanks,
Josh

Looks like it might have been an issue with that certificate, I don't know.
Either it didn't like the wildcard, or it didn't like the intermediate/root CA.
I downloaded a Comodo Trial SSL and plugged that in - works like a charm now!

Installed SSL certificate does not appear

I used Open SSL to generate a certificate for my 5508 WLC. Went through the process of getting a 3rd party cert and then installed it into the WLC.
The WLC said it installed properly, I rebooted, and I can see it in Management-->HTTP-HTTPS under "current certificate"
When I connect to the controller's administration webpage I still get a certificate warning. I haven't tried the guest network yet.
Shouldn't the controller be using the same cert for both pages? Is there something I am doing wrong?

I confirmed that the guest authentication page is also getting the old self-signed cert as well (and a warning).

WLC 5508: 802.1 AAA override; Authenication success no dynamic vlan assignment

WLC 5508: software version 7.0.98.0
Windows 7 Client
Radius Server: Fedora Core 13 / Freeradius with LDAP storage backend
I have followed the guide at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk722/tk809/technologies_configuration_example09186a008076317c.shtml with respective to building the LDAP and free radius server. 802.1x authorization and authenication correctly work. The session keys are returned from the radius server and the wlc send the appropriate information for the client to generate the WEP key.
However, the WLC does not override the VLAN assignment, even though I was to believe I set everything up correctly. From the packet capture, you can see that verfication of client is authorized to use the WLAN returns the needed attributes:
AVP: l=4 t=Tunnel-Private-Group-Id(81): 10
AVP: l=6 t=Tunnel-Medium-Type(65): IEEE-802(6)
AVP: l=6 t=Tunnel-Type(64): VLAN(13)
I attached a packet capture and wlc config, any guidance toward the attributes that may be missing or not set correctly in the config would be most appreciated.

Yes good catch, so I had one setting left off in freeradius that allowed the inner reply attributes back to the outer tunneled accept. I wrote up a medium high level config for any future viewers of this thread:
The following was tested and verified on a fedora 13 installation.   This is a minimal setup; not meant for a "live" network (security issues with cleartext passwords, ldap not indexed properly for performance)
Install Packages
1. Install needed packages.
yum install openldap*
yum install freeradius*
2. Set the services to automatically start of system startup
chkconfig --level 2345 slapd on
chkconfig --level 2345 radiusd on
Configure and start LDAP
1. Copy the needed ladp schemas for radius. Your path may vary a bit
cp /usr/share/doc/freeradius*/examples/openldap.schema /etc/openldap/schema/radius.schema
2. Create a admin password for slapd. Record this password for later use when configuring the slapd.conf file
slappasswd
3. Add the ldap user and group; if it doesn't exisit. Depending on the install rpm, it may have been created
useradd ldap
groupadd ldap
4. Create the directory and assign permissions for the database files
mkdir /var/lib/ldap
chmod 700 /var/lib/ldap
chown ldap:ldap /var/lib/ldap
5. Edit the slapd.conf file.
cd /etc/openldap
vi slapd.conf
# See slapd.conf(5) for details on configuration options.
# This file should NOT be world readable.
#Default needed schemas
include        /etc/openldap/schema/corba.schema
include        /etc/openldap/schema/core.schema
include        /etc/openldap/schema/cosine.schema
include        /etc/openldap/schema/duaconf.schema
include        /etc/openldap/schema/dyngroup.schema
include        /etc/openldap/schema/inetorgperson.schema
include        /etc/openldap/schema/java.schema
include        /etc/openldap/schema/misc.schema
include        /etc/openldap/schema/nis.schema
include        /etc/openldap/schema/openldap.schema
include        /etc/openldap/schema/ppolicy.schema
include        /etc/openldap/schema/collective.schema
#Radius include
include        /etc/openldap/schema/radius.schema
#Samba include
#include        /etc/openldap/schema/samba.schema
# Allow LDAPv2 client connections. This is NOT the default.
allow bind_v2
# Do not enable referrals until AFTER you have a working directory
# service AND an understanding of referrals.

# allow onlu rootdn to read the monitor
access to *
         by dn.exact="cn=Manager,dc=cisco,dc=com" read
         by * none
6. Remove the slapd.d directory
cd /etc/openldap
rm -rf slapd.d
7. Hopefully if everything is correct, should be able to start up slapd with no problem
service slapd start
8. Create the initial database in a text file called /tmp/initial.ldif
dn: dc=cisco,dc=com
objectClass: dcobject
objectClass: organization
o: cisco
dc: cisco
dn: ou=people,dc=cisco,dc=com
objectClass: organizationalunit
ou: people
description: people
dn: uid=jonatstr,ou=people,dc=cisco,dc=com
objectClass: top
objectClass: radiusprofile
objectClass: inetOrgPerson
cn: jonatstr
sn: jonatstr
uid: jonatstr
description: user Jonathan Strickland
radiusTunnelType: VLAN
radiusTunnelMediumType: 802
radiusTunnelPrivateGroupId: 10
userPassword: ggsg
9. Add the file to the database
ldapadd -h localhost -W -D "cn=Manager, dc=cisco,dc=com" -f /tmp/initial.ldif
10. Issue a basic query to the ldap db, makes sure that we can request and receive results back
ldapsearch -h localhost -W -D cn=Manager,dc=cisco,dc=com -b dc=cisco,dc=com -s sub "objectClass=*"
Configure and Start FreeRadius
1. Configure ldap.attrmap, if needed. This step is only needed if we need to map and pass attributes back to the authenicator (dynamic vlan assignments as an example). Below is an example for dynamic vlan addresses
cd /etc/raddb
vi ldap.attrmap
For dynamic vlan assignments, verify the follow lines exist:
replyItem    Tunnel-Type                                   radiusTunnelType
replyItem    Tunnel-Medium-Type                   radiusTunnelMediumType
replyItem    Tunnel-Private-Group-Id              radiusTunnelPrivateGroupId
Since we are planning to use the userpassword, we will let the mschap module perform the NT translations for us. Add the follow line to check ldap object for userpassword and store as Cleartext-Password:
checkItem    Cleartext-Password    userPassword
2. Configure eap.conf. The following sections attributes below should be verified. You may change other attributes as needed, they are just not covered in this document.
eap
{      default_eap_type = peap      ..... }
tls {
    #I will not go into details here as this is beyond scope of setting up freeradisu. The defaults will work, as freeradius comes with generated self signed certificates.
peap {
    default_eap_type = mschapv2
    #you will have to set this to allowed the inner tls tunnel attributes into the final accept message
    use_tunneled_reply = yes
3. Change the authenication and authorization modules and order.
cd /etc/raddb/sites-enabled
vi default
For the authorize section, uncomment the ldap module.
For the authenicate section, uncomment the ldap module
vi inner-tunnel
Very importants, for the authorize section, ensure the ldap module is first, before mschap. Thus authorize will look like:
authorize
{      ldap      mschap      ...... }
4. Configure ldap module
cd /etc/raddb/modules
ldap
{        server=localhost       identify = "cn=Manager,dc=cisco,dc=com"        password=admin       basedn="dc=cisco,dc=com"       base_filter = "(objectclass=radiusprofile)"       access_attr="uid"       ............   }
5. Start up radius in debug mode on another console
radiusd -X
6. radtest localhost 12 testing123
You should get a Access-Accept back
7. Now to perform an EAP-PEAP test. This will require a wpa_supplicant test libarary called eapol_test
First install openssl support libraries, required to compile
yum install openssl*
yum install gcc
wget http://hostap.epitest.fi/releases/wpa_supplicant-0.6.10.tar.gz
tar xvf wpa_supplicant-0.6.10.tar.gz
cd wpa_supplicant-0.6.10/wpa_supplicant
vi defconfig
Uncomment CONFIG_EAPOL_TEST = y and save/exit
cp defconfig .config
make eapol_test
cp eapol_test /usr/local/bin
chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/eapol_test
8. Create a test config file named eapol_test.conf.peap
network=
{   eap=PEAP eapol_flags=0 key_mgmt=IEEE8021X identity="jonatstr"   password="ggsg" \#If you want to verify the Server certificate the below would be needed   \#ca_cert="/root/ca.pem" phase2="auth=MSCAHPV2"   }
9. Run the test
eapol_test -c ~/eapol_test.conf.peap -a 127.0.0.1 -p 1812 -s testing123

SSL Certificate for Software LifeCycle Management

Dear Friends,
We have Solution Manger 70 with EhancementPack 1 (Java 7.01 SP4). Trying to configure the Software LifeCycle Management and I am stuck at the first stage i.e. generating SSL SSL Certificate.
Here is what I have done and please let me know on how to proceed...
- Installed SAP Cryptographic libraries, all the necessary Profile parameters and activated HTTPS...
- STRUSTSSO2 --> Created SSL Server PSE
- Generated the Certificate Requests for the SSL Server PSE
- Copied the Certificate Request.
- Opened the https://service.sap.com/tcs site
- Requested for SSL Test Server Certificate by pasting the Copied the Certificate Request and generated the certificate response in a "PKCS # 7 Certificate Chain" format.
- Copied the Generated Imported Certficate from SAP Trust center Site, and Imported the Certificate response for SSL Server using STRUSTSSO2.
What else I am missing here?????????
How to generate the Import Certifcate in a crt file format for SSL client (Anonymous or Standard) PSE's?????????
Kindly help me with these issue ASAP.
Thank you,
Nikee

Users are prompted to accept the certificate from the WLC because the clients do not have a trusted root certificate for the certificate that is installed on the WLC. The SSL certificate on the WLC is not in the list of certificates that the client system trusts. There are two ways to stop the generation of this web-browser security alert popup window:
a) Use the self-signed SSL certificate on the WLC and configure the client stations to accept the certificate
b) Generate a CSR and install a certificate that is signed by a source (a third-party CA) for which the clients already have the trusted root certificates installed. For more information on this read http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk722/tk809/technologies_configuration_example09186a00806e367a.shtml

EAP-TLS with WLC 5508, Microsoft NPS and custom EKU OID´s

We are trying to implement EAP-TLS with client certificates that have a custom EKU OID to distinguish the WLAN clients. The Microsoft Press Book
Windows Server 2008 PKI and Certificate Security gives an example on how to configure a policy in NPS that matches specific EKU OID´s. At the moment we have two policies that have an allowed-certificate-oid configured that matches the OID´s in our certificates, but our setup is not working as expected. Authentications will only be successful, if the client authenticates with the certificate that is matched by the first policy rule.
For example:
Policy 1: allowed-certificate-OID --> corporate
Policy 2: allowed-certificate-OID --> private
Client authenticates with EKU corporate --> success
Client authenticates with EKU private --> reject
My expectation was, that if Policy 1 will not match the NPS goes over to Policy 2 and tries to authenticate the client.
Has anyone a simmilar setup or can help to figure out what is going wrong?
We have a WLC 5508 with Software Version 7.4.100.0 and a NPS on a Windows Server 2008 R2
regards
Fabian

The policy rejects and the NPS goes to the next policy, only if the user does not belong to the configured group.
This means I need to have one AD group per application policy, but that will not solve my problem. A user could belong to more than one group, depending on how many devices he/she has. It will work with one group only for each user, because the first policy that matches a AD group, the user belongs to, could have a OID that is not in the certificate. This would cause a recejct with reason code 73:
The purposes that are configured in the Application Policies extensions, also called Enhanced Key Usage (EKU) extensions, section of the user or computer certificate are not valid or are missing. The user or computer certificate must be configured with the Client Authentication purpose in Application Policies extensions. The object identifier for Client Authentication is 1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.2.
The certificate does include this OID but not the custom EKU.

WLC 5508 Multiple Interfaces for Multiple SSIDs

Hello guys,
I am trying to build a new network from scratch, I have the WLC 5508 w/ Aironet 3600e APs connected to my Netgear Smart Switches and a Linksys RV082 router that I'm using as my DHCP server with several VLANs for several stuff on my Switches.
I have 2 questions:
1. Can I have 5 Interfaces configured on 5 different VLANs, each SSID on each a different Port:
Port 1: Controller management only=> 192.168.x.x /24
Port 2: SSID 1: WiFi Internal=> 172.16.x.x/12 (Radius Auth with no sharing)
Port 3: SSID 2: WiFi Internal w/ sharing=> 192.168.x.x/24 (Radius Auth with sharing)
Port 4 :SSID 3: WiFi Guest=> 10.0.x.x/8 (Web Auth)
Port 5: SSID 4: WiFi IT=> 192.168.x.x/24 ( Radius or certificate Auth with access to the controller management interface)
2. How can I use the Controller as the DHCP server for all the WiFi traffic, and how should that be configured to work with my other DHCP server?

Yes you can... but you have to disable LAG. Each post will need to be connected to a dot1q trunk and you will only allow the vlan that is required for that port. Also on the interface, you will define what port is primary and what is backup. I'm guessing you will not be using the backup port. For example... port 1 that connects to a trunk port will only allow the management vlan. Here is a link to setup dhcp on the WLC
