Tracking VPN user connectivity

Is there an easy way on the ASA to track user connectivity statistics? I have found that I can get a syslog record when a user connects / disconnects but am looking for an elegant way to track a bit more. On the old Concentrator there used to be a log entry when a user disconnected that gave things like time connected and the amount of data transferred. I would like to figure out a way to duplicate this on the ASA and maybe even add the IP addressed they received from the DHCP pool? I though this might be part of accounting but that appears to be more for radius integration than keeping track of user usage.
Thoughts or suggestions on how to accomplish this?

Cisco Security Manager product collects and stores such information (along with a lot of other things). It's a pretty hefty product though and probably more than you want to spend for doing just that one thing.
You can use a general purpose SNMP management tool like PRTG to grab all the data as well. I know it has out of the box sensors for Cisco ASA VPN connections and users. I'm not sure if it also collects the amount of data transferred.

How do I view/log Easy VPN users connections?

I have a 2811 as an Easy VPN server. How do I view and log users who login via local accounts? This can be by either CLI or SDM access.
Thanks
Leigh

Leigh,
Long time no talk :-))
On the 2811, do a "show aaa user all" and check if you are able to see the users connected. In case you dont see any outputs, enable AAA Accounting on the 2811 and then run the command again.
Please refer the below URL for enabling VPN Accounting.

Tracking Individual Users Scores using Captivate 4 and Connect Enterprise

Hi,
I work in an IT shop and currently I am having trouble supporting our Marketing division's Captivate needs. They wish to be able to create quizes for online viewing in an LMS and be able to track individual users scores for accountability. Right now I we are using Captivate 4 with Adobe Connect Enterprise. I have been able to use the LMS and view quizes online, but all reporting is done as aggregate and not a session by session (individual) basis. Thus, I only have access to average, max, min scores and other info about all test takers, but no information about specific test users. I have considered accomplishing this by sending data to an access database, but this would require the IT deparment to regularly assist them with creating tests. Obviously I am looking to have the Marketing department be as self-sufficient as they can be. I think the easiest way would be to have the quiz report a session ID (unique for each instance of the quiz being accessed) to Adobe Connect and having Connect associate each aswer to a specific session ID. Other than that I do not have any other ideas for proper tracking of each user's score.
Does anyone know what the easiest (least amount of involvement from the IT staff each time Marketing needs to make a test in captivate) way to accomplish this?
Thanks!

So, i sorta found a way to do this -- by adding a TOC and making the lessons self-paced, the user will always be brought back to the place where they left off when they exited the lesson.
But it seems that even though the icon in the curriculum list changes to CONTINUE when the user closes the lesson, it still unlocks the next lesson even though the staus checkmarks in the previous lesson are not complete.
Help. Are there any other such postings?

Central Site Internet Connectivity for MPLS VPN User

What are the solutions of Central site Internet connectivity for a MPLS VPN user, and what is the best practice?

Hello,
Since you mentioned that Internet Access should be through a central site, it is clear that all customer sites (except the central) will somehow have a default (static/dynamic) to reach the central site via the normal VPN path for unknown destinations. Any firewall that might be needed, would be placed at the central site (at least). So, the issue is how the central site accesses the Internet.
Various methods exist to provide Internet Access to an MPLS VPN. I am not sure if any one of them is considered the best. Each method has its pros and cons, and since you have to balance various factors, those factors might conflict at some point. It is hard to get simplicity, optimal routing, maximum degree of security (no matter how you define "security"), reduced memory demands and cover any other special requirements (such as possibility for overlapping between customer addresses) from a single solution. Probably the most secure VPN is the one which is not open to the Internet. If you open it to the Internet, some holes also open inevitably.
One method is to create a separate Internet_Access VPN and have other VPNs create an extranet with that Internet_Access VPN. This method is said to be very secure (at least in terms of backbone exposure). However, if full routing is a requirement, the increased memory demands of this solution might lead you to prefer to keep the internet routing table in the Global Routing Table (GRT). You might have full routing in the GRT of PEs and Ps or in PEs only (second is probably better).
Some names for solutions that exist are: static default routing, dynamic default routing, separate BGP session between PE and CE (via separate interface, subinterface or tunnel), extranet with internet VRF (mentioned earlier), extranet with internet VRF + VRF-aware NAT.
The choice will depend on the requirements of your environment. I cannot possibly describe all methods here and I do not know of a public document that does. If you need an analysis of MPLS VPN security, you may want to take a look at Michael Behringer's great book with M.Morrow "MPLS VPN Security". Another book that describes solutions is "MPLS and VPN Architectures" by Ivan Pepelnjak. There is a Networkers session on MPLS VPNs that lists solutions. There is also a relevant document in CCO:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk436/tk428/technologies_configuration_example09186a00801445fb.shtml (covering static default routing option).

Show connected vpn users

We are running Cisco IOS 12.4T on our routers and our remote users connect from their laptops via IPSec to our routers to access the resources in the internal network. How can I see a list of current connected users? What is the IOS command for it?
Thanks.

Hi all,
i have same problem. When I used show aaa user all I got "NET: Username=(n/a)". There is no information about username you can see attach. The second broblem for me is how can I check wchich ip address have been assignet to vpn client? Wel i can use show ip local pool but there is no info about vpn client. Can you help me. Thnx.

Snow Leopard VPN will not let users connect consistently

I did a clean install to Snow Leopard, and now my VPN is completely odd. It randomly does or doesn't let users connect.
Setup:
- Snow Leopard 10.6
- OpenDirectory has been added to (vpnaddkeyagentuser /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1)
- Firewall is off for these tests to rule it out as being the problem
- IP address and FQDN are the same as they were when server was 10.5
- DNS, DHCP, and all other services are working fine
- To rule out password problems, all of the passwords in the test are the same
- All tested accounts have the same password
I attempted 3 connections with each account in each scenario
Round 1 - Access set to all users and all groups, and admins have access to all services.
Test1 - local admin: worked, failed, failed
Test2 - od normal : worked, worked, worked
Test3 - od admin : worked, failed, worked
Test4 - local admin: worked, worked, worked
Round 2 - Access set to only those in the group "Test Group", and admins have access to all services. "Test Group" only includes the users: Test2 and Test3
Test1 - local admin: failed, failed, failed
Test2 - od normal : failed, worked, worked
Test3 - od admin : failed, failed, failed
Test4 - local admin: failed, failed, failed
Is anyone else having these odd VPN problems?

I figured out the problem with the VPN, but is stretched well beyond VPN.
I'm not sure exactly how everything melted down, but somehow the installer messed up massive amounts of things. I won't even go in to it other than to say...
- Certain programs wouldn't install to the primary drive (they'd show the drive, but with a "!" on it)
- Mean while when booted normally, Disk Utility would not see and drives except the CD rom
- No two programs saws the same set of hard drives or cds
- If you booted from CD, Disk Utility saw all drives, but Start Disk only saw the CD
- Software Update (even from the command line) would fine no new updates, even though none had been applied
- If you blessed the primary hd, it would boot, but if you tried to boot normally you'd get a flicker "?" folder and Apple symbol
- etc...
The weird thing is, all of the other services were working fine (Web hosting, VPN, AFP, SMB, firewall, ical, ichat). But obviously something dreadful had happened during the install, which is odd because it was a clean install.
I reformatted the drive, reinstalled, and all is fine now.
Weirdest installation problem I've ever encountered.

VPN auto connect leads problem when accessing the private url in my app through HttpClient

Hi,
I have app to execute my WCF service through HttpClient(). I configured my SSL VPN in sonicwall mobile connect with auto connect option. So when accessing my internal WCF service, Wp 8.1 asks the VPN connection screen. If I follow the screen, VPN
has connected and return to my App. But here I received "An error has ocurred. While sending request to server" in Wp 8.1 screen. Even if I debug through visual studio I couldn't catch or track the actual error in code. Below the code I am using
for your reference. Kindly help me in this regard.
try
HttpClientHandler handler = new HttpClientHandler(); ;
handler.AllowAutoRedirect = false;
HttpClient httpClient = new HttpClient(handler);
httpClient.MaxResponseContentBufferSize = 256000;
HttpResponseMessage response = await httpClient.GetAsync("http://172.0.0.11/xxxxx/Service1.svc/xxxxCheck/" + usr.username + "/" + App.DeviceId + "/" + usr.password);
response.EnsureSuccessStatusCode();
string content = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
List<EmcUserResult> userres = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<EmcUserResult>>(content);
if (userres.FirstOrDefault().Allowed == "TRUE")
NavigationService.Navigate(new Uri("/MainPage.xaml", UriKind.Relative)); // call MainPage
else
MessageBox.Show("This User was blocked. Contact admin.");
catch (Exception ex)
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);

I recommend that you check the network traffic by using either Wireshark or Fiddler to see what's going on with the request.

VPN users - mac server

Hello to all!
First of all I must tell you that I am new to Osx server administration. Well, i tried to enable vpn service for the users of my network. So, i enableb the service, using PPTP. I also assigned vpn access to the users that I want and I try to access, but with no luck. The problem is that "user authentication failed" (I put the right credentials so this is not the problem).
So next, I tried another app to make the vpn, work. The app is called easyVPN. There, I created 5 users and tried to access, and I was connected. Then I closed easyVPN and enabled the VPN service of OSX server, and I accessed with the credentials that I had put inside easyVPN.
But I dont want this. I want the local users that acces vpn service to be configured through the server configurator. Could you please help me?
Thank you in advance.

This is absolutely expected. The VPN protocol doesn't account for multiple VPN connections from the same IP address.
Some NAT routers deal with it better than others (somehow they manage to keep track of the connections and allow multiple users to connect) but many don't. It isn't easy to predict whether any particular router supports this or not.
The best solution to your problem is to implement a site-to-site VPN - that way everyone on the remote network shares a single VPN connection managed by the router and you don't have multiple VPN connections coming from the same IP.

L2TP and fixed Framed IP Address for VPN user

Hi,
I have a running L2TP/IPsec VPN setup with authentification against a radius server (freeradius2 witch mysql). I would like to have some of my VPN users get a fixed IP address instead of the dynamically assigned IP Pool.
The radius server is returning the correct parameters, I think.
I hope someone can help me.
It´s a Cisco 892 Integrated Service Router.

Script to Determine Users Connected to Oracle Apps and For Imitating Users

I found this great script (Note:430948.1 on Metalink) to track users connected to the E-Business Suite.
My colleague though noticed that users who had shut their browsers without logging off or those users who had 'timed out of their session' would still come back in the report.
He wanted an accurate measure of who was in fact using the e-Business suite.
We took the original query and added the last line (below). It basically takes the ‘last connect’ time and adds 60 minutes to it to figure out who is ‘validly’ still connected.
select distinct ic.disabled_flag, fu.user_name User_Name,fr.RESPONSIBILITY_KEY Responsibility, fu.user_name,fu.user_id, fu.description, fu.employee_id,
ic.responsibility_application_id, ic.responsibility_id, ic.org_id, ic.function_type, ic.counter, ic.first_connect, ic.last_connect,
ic.nls_territory, ic.time_out, fr.menu_id, fr.responsibility_key
from apps_fnd.fnd_user fu,
apps_fnd.fnd_responsibility fr, apps_fnd.icx_sessions ic
where fu.user_id = ic.user_id AND
fr.responsibility_id = ic.responsibility_id AND
ic.disabled_flag='N' AND
ic.responsibility_id is not null AND
ic.last_connect > sysdate - (ic.time_out/60)/96
Can anybody see any issues with this query? or a better way to do this?
It looks like Oracle runs a clean up script to wipe out sessions after a certain amount of time so they are no longer active sessions - so this works around that.

Getting intermittent connection to internal resources from vpn remote connection

Hi there,
I have an intermittent issue happening on my company's firewall, and I'm at a loss as to how to troubleshoot further. I'm hoping someone can give me some tips or pointers in the right direction.
We recently made some changes to our network, which included moving an ASA 5505 from one location to another. In moving this we also connected it to a different switch. It used to hang off a Cisco 3560, and now it hangs off a ProCurve 5406zl.
The setup is that the ASA is connected on two ports to the HP, which is simply a layer 2 device sitting between the firewall and the uplink to our ISP. One port, e0/0, is the outside interface and is set to switchport access vlan 2. The second interface, e0/1, is set for vlan 1, also access mode. It has an IP of 10.0.0.2. The HP on the other end of that has an IP of 10.0.0.1. So outside VPN connections come through the HP to the ASA on e0/0, and back out the ASA on port e0/1 to reach devices on the internal network.
What happens is that when a user connects to the VPN, they can reach internal resources intermittently. For example, I tried to ping an internal server IP address (let's say 10.0.0.23) from my laptop, while on the VPN, and pings failed. However I could ping that IP from the ASA itself. Another example is that during one VPN connection I was unable to connect to an internal web server, but once I disconnected and connected ahain I could reach the server fine.
The intermittent nature of the problem made me think that it could be an ARP issue, that somehow the traffic is getting sent back out the wrong interface sometimes, hence the lack of communication. However when I did show switch mac-address | include mac address, using the base mac of the HP, I only saw the mac address of the HP on one interface, e0/1. That makes me think that things are working as they should. Although I guess maybe it should appear on both interfaces...? I don't know. Can anyone share some ideas of what the problem might be, or how I can most effectively troubleshoot this? It seems like the symptoms are indicative of some kind of rookie mistake, but for the life of me I can't figure out what it is.
I appreciate your responses. Thanks.

Hi Jeff, and thanks. I didn't change anything in the config actually. The IP ranges didn't change, nor did the IP of the ASA itself. In its old setting it hung off of an intermittent Cisco switch, let's say IP 10.100.0.25. There were two other switches that used VRRP with a shared IP of 10.100.10.1 and acted as the default gateway for all devices on the network, except the ASA. The gateway switches in turn used the ASA, 10.100.10.2, as the default gateway. So, internal traffic would flow through 10.100.0.1 unless it needed to access an external network, i.e. the WAN, in which case the switch at 10.100.10.1 would send the traffic to the ASA at 10.100.10.2. The ASA's default gateway was the public IP of our ISP.
In the change we moved from using a Cisco core to an HP core, so the ASA was moved to hang directly off the HP. The HP was re-IP'd as 10.100.10.1, the ASA stayed the same. I didn't change any configuration on the ASA, and the only thing did to the HP was to change it's default gateway to point to the ASA (same as the old setup), and set the ports for the different vlans.
What I've also found is that at times once I establish a vpn connection I cannot even ping the connected HP switch from my client machine, but I can ping it from the ASA. If I disconnect from the vpn and try again, it may work. Here's some output based on commands in this link,
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6120/products_tech_note09186a00807c35e7.shtml#s1. For this command I am attempting to first ping 10.100.10.1 (the HP switch) and then ssh to it.

Default Gateway address for multiple VPN users/clients

Hello,
We need some help with a VPN setup for a school project.
What we want to do:
We would like to have aprox. 10 different VPN uses that can connect to our Windows Server 2012 R2 which is setup as a VPN server, by the Role called Remote access. And the VPN server is working and we are able to connect to it from another location/computer.
Our current setup:
We have a Cisco router, that are configured with 10 Vlans, from Vlan 10 to Vlan 20, and a managament Vlan called Vlan 100.
The Cisco router is also acting as DHCP server, so inside each Vlan the DHCP gives IP addresses to that specific Vlan, Ex: Vlan 10 has a 192.168.10.0/24 network. Vlan 11 has a 192.168.11.0/24 network, and so on. Vlan 100 has 192.168.100.0/24 This Vlan 100
has connection to all the Vlans.
We have internet connection on the Router on port 0 and each Vlan are connected to the internet.
We have setup the VPN server with a static IP configuration so it is inside Vlan 100 with a Default gateway, like 192.168.100.1 So the VPN server is connected to the internet.
In AD we have created a User and assigned a static IP address in the user properties, under the Dial-In tab. Here we give this user this IP 192.168.10.225
Now when we connect to the VPN server useing this user, we have no connection to any of the Vlans (ping) and no internet. When we in cmd write ipconfig we can see that our VPN connection has this IP 192.168.10.225 but a Subnet called 255.255.255.255 and
a Default gateway called 0.0.0.0
We would like the user to recieve the correct IP settings like: If we connect with our user, it should recieve the IP as it does, but also a subnet called 255.255.255.0 and a default gateway called 192.168.10.1
How is this achieved?
The reason we want this is: We want to create a VPN user for each Vlan. So a user with permission to access Vlan 10 but are not able to see the other Vlans, and then a new user to access Vlan 11 but not able to see the other vlans, and so on.
Hope someone is able to help us to understand how this is done.
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
In brief, we can't achieve this. Normally, we would not do this.
Usually, we use firewall or ACL to restrict the remote users.
For example, 192.168.10.100 is assigned to user1 and 192.168.10.101 is assigned to user2. We can use firewall to restrict 192.168.10.100 to access 192.168.10.0/24 and 192.168.10.101 to access 192.168.11.0/24.
Best Regards.

Tiger VPN (PPTP) connection issues

Hello everyone.
I'm having major issues trying to connect to office VPN from home; hoping someone can point me in the right direction. (And my profound apologies in advance for the long post -- just trying make sure to include enough detail to debug whatever might be happening)
At the office we have a 3Com OfficeConnect VPN Firewall sitting in front of a Microsoft 2003 Exchange server. (3Com product page for this VPN box is http://www.3com.com/products/en_US/detail.jsp?tab=features&sku=3CR870-95&pathtyp e=purchase). Home connection is a Linksys WRT54GL wireless router in front of a broadband cable modem. PPTP pass-through is enabled in the router config.
At home I have a WinXP-SP2 laptop and my G4 Powerbook (OS 10.4.7) sitting side-by-side. From the XP laptop, I can get into the VPN using XP's built-in client without any problems. The DNS lookup and authentication steps take about 2-3 seconds combined. Once the connection is established, both external sites (cnn.com) and internal sites (intranet.companyname.local) load in a browser window without any appreciable delay. I can also access Windows shared drives on the internal network without problems, including large (10's of MB or more) file copies to/from the XP laptop's HD.
On the Powerbook, using Tiger's built-in VPN client, I can connect OK (though the authentication step takes a bit longer, about 4-5 seconds), but after that, almost nothing works. I can ping the internal DNS server, but after a few pings with reasonable delays (~15 millisecond range), the round-trip times suddenly jump to handfuls of seconds. In the browser, trying to load an internal webpage (http://intranet.companyname.local) times out before anything shows up on screen. In Finder, using Go>Connect to Server... very slowly establishes the connection (~10-15 seconds or longer), and sometimes opens a Finder window... but then invariably times out. I have never once had the connection remain stable enough to transfer so much as a single file from the shared volume onto the Powerbook's Desktop before it times out and disconnects.
On the XP machine, relevant(?) VPN config settings are:
require secured password
require data encryption (disconnect if none)
PPTP VPN
LCP extensions enabled
software compression enabled
multi-link negotiation for single link connections DISABLED
server type = PPP
transports = TCP/IP
authentication = MS CHAP
encryption = MPPE 128
compression = none
PPP multilink framing = off
and, once the VPN connection is established, parameters are (from "ipcofig /all"):

On the Powerbook, I have a VPN (PPTP) connection set up with "Send all traffic over VPN connection" unchecked. In the Network panel of System Preferences, I have tried manually adding (and removing) "local, (companyname).local" in the Search Domains line, and manually adding (and removing) the IPs of our internal DNS servers (172.16.0.5, 172.16.0.11) under the TCP/IP tab. Proxies are turned off in all cases.
With those settings, the relevant(?) parts of running "ifconfig" from a Terminal window after starting the VPN are as follows:

The problem is that despite this apparently successful negotiation, the VPN connection doesn't really work. If I type "intranet" into the browser URL bar, it doesn't pick it up as "intranet.companyname.local" and instead treats this as a search query, which it passes to google... which times out. If I type "intranet.companyname.local" into the URL bar instead, it appears to do the DNS lookup correctly... but then times out again.
Ping times look like this at first:

OK, enough for now. Can anyone spot what I might be doing wrong, and/or suggest something to try to remedy this? If there is any additional logging/debug info that would be useful, please ask and I will track it down.
Thanks very much in advance!!! /HJ

Problem not entirely solved, but mostly working now. It turns out the issue was with the 3Com OfficeConnect VPN box. It was causing all sorts of headaches and had to be manually power cycled at least once a week, so we ditched it and got a Linux-based Firewall/VPN appliance (http://www.ingate.com/ingate_vpn.php).
Now I can connect and mount Windows drives via SMB (both the command line and the Finder's "Connect to Server" approach seem to work). Performance still exhibits annoying lags at random times, and occasionally the VPN connection disconnects for no good reason, but at least I can get at my files from home. The other issues -- such as being able to resolve "xxx.yyy.local" addresses in the browser by making sure I hit the internal DNS server before any external ones -- all seem to be network configuration issues on my end.
In short, my guess is that the 3Com box was causing issues with some low-level timing parameters or other related settings in how the VPN connection was being established. I was just starting to teach myself about ARP tables, NTLMv2 authentication, and the like when we replaced it with the new firewall.
Hope this helps.

Why does refreshing my web browser page increment the number of users connected to my Remote Front Panel?

Hi,
I'm using LabVIEW 2010 and a cRIO-9118 to broadcast my RT Front Panel on the web with a Web Server.
I successfully configured the web server to be able to control my Front Panel remotely. However, I have an issue with "Refreshing" the browser.
When I press "Enter" to search the adress of the web server, the number of users connected seems to increment by one and then tells me that "Too many users are connected to the front panel". Once this has been done, the only way to "unlock" the web server is to reboot the cRIO.
Is there any solution to avoid this behavior?
My current web browser is Internet Explorer 8.
Thank you

Solved!

Hi Mathieu,
Unfortunately, there currently isn't a very good solution for the problem you are facing. It seems like this is a known issue that R&D is working on. It so happens that in addition to simply refreshing, this issue also occurs if you try to access the Remote Front Panel using a second tab in a tabbed browser. One "fix" would be to invest in a higher count Remote Front Panel license. If that's not feasible, then the current recommendation would be to avoid connecting to the Remote Front Panel from a second tab or refreshing the view in your browser. Once you exceed the number of connections to the Remote Front Panel, you will have to restart the RT controller -- there isn't a way to change this default behavior. You can track any fixes by R&D by keeping note of the CAR (corrective action request) ID for this issue, which is #202702.
