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.

Using 3rd party WEB redirect for Guest authentication

I'm currently using (Internal) WEBAuth on the WLC for my guest WLAN but my management would like a simlper method. Some external WEB page that the guest user can fill out a form and enter some information such as name, location and email address and they would get a cookie or something that would provide then guest access for some period of time. Does anyone know of such a product?
Thanks,
Gary

I don't see how that is different from web passthrough on the WLC where the user has to type his information but doesn't need a password ...
Have you looked at the Nac Guest Server ? It's an appliance especially made for that purpose.
The upcoming ISE has also some cool unified guest features.

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.

Need to send external email with attachment for workflow 20000075

Hello Everyone,
I am new to W/F, I Need to send external email with attachment for PO Release W/F 20000075. Currently Work item is being sent to SAP inbox of required user based on PO Release strategy configuration in SPRO. I tried to create Send mail step after PO release event but I am not sure how to arrive at Recipient type in send mail step(the mail should be sent to person in the release strategy). Everything looks fine all I need to do is to send external email with attachment instead of sending work item into SAP inbox.
Your help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks.

You can use extended notifications to send an e-mail message with a link to the workitem. Search for extended notifications in SDN.

Using external libraries with Developer Studio 7.1 Composition Environment

Hi,
I downloaded DS 7.1 CE and tried to develop a simple application which uses an external library.
I created a development component for "external library" for the local development -> MyComponent, giving it the name "test2" (for the domain basis).
I imported the external library file using Import -> File System , then selecting the .jar file.
In the component properties browser I added a public part naming it "mylib2" setting the purpose to "ASSEMBLY" (my intention was that the libarry will be transferred during the deployment to the application server).
I right clicked on the public part to "managed entities". I selected the archive tree and checked the library file shown there (the one I imported before). #
Then I opended component properties of my web dynpro project and clicked on "Dependencies". The I chose "Add..." and selected the "test2" development component I created before (see above).
Then I tried to deploy the project (which uses this external library) using "Deploy Archive and Run"
After deployment the browser window opens and shows the ClassNotFoundException
So what did I oversee or do wrong?
BTW: Is it necessary for using external libraries to use a full fletched NWDI? Or can I use external libs also with netweaver development environments freely available for download on sdn.sap.com?
Any hints?
Thanks a lot
Hannes

Hannes,
If you want to use external libraries with DCs then you should follow the NWDI completely.
Check this step, otheways of using external libraries is mentioned <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/e3/de813e77d46245e10000000a114084/frameset.htm">here.</a>

Can we use external drive with ipad air

can we use external drive with ipad air?

There are some wifi-enabled drives that allow you to stream content (music, films, tv programmes) to an iPad, but you can't directly connect one to an iPad.

I have been using my iPad with sim for weeks now, just 24 hrs ago the message I am having is no SIM card installed, I tried it with some other SIM card same same still pop up. What can I do pls

I have been using my iPad with sim for weeks now, just 24 hrs ago the message I am having is no SIM card installed, I tried it with some other SIM card same same still pop up. What can I do pls

ok, I did, and it said again congrats your iPhone is unlocked, but, when it said there was a new carrier update, I cancelled it, but, it asked me again, I cancelled again, I guess I'm scared it will lock it again if I allow the carrier update.
Oh, there it goes again, this time on the phone, arg. I hit update, I hope it doesn't freak out.
I'm glad I didn't destroy the SIM like I almost did. But, it will come out again, longer battery life with the cell portion turned off.

Can I use external speakers with the iPad when using Facetime?

Can I use external speakers with the iPad when using Facetime? How do I do that?

They have to be either plugged in via headphone jack or the dock port at the bottom. If you can. I've used it on apple tv, but that's it. I don't know if the others work, but I don't see why not. Try plugging in speakers in the headphone jack. You will get an answer :)

Ise Authentication to two different forests second using External Radius, Not LDAP

Hi Guys,
I am hoping someone can help me. We currently have two AD forests one for staff and one for students. These forests do not have a two way trust between them nor do we want to. We currently have Ise 1.2 integration with our Student forest using AD working just fine. The ipads and other devices are playing nicely and cooperating well. We want to get our staff to be able to use ISE as well. Currently there is no way to use two AD forests so I was directed to use LDAP instead for the second domain. Unfortunatley after playing around with it LDAP doesn't support mschapv2 which our mobile devices like ipads do play nicely with. This causes an issue only because we would have to utilize certificates to get everything to work correctly. This is not the route we want to go. So i was speaking to Tac and they recommended using an External Radius server. Then modify my auth profiles to look for the domain name in the authentication string. If it starts for example student\ then i can have ise forward the auth request to the AD integrated PSNs for auth. If the auth string starts with staff\ for example i should be able to forward this request to my external radius server.
This sounds all good in theory but i have not found any documentation to support this to help me configure it. Has anyone tried this approach? Or have any leads on where i can find some good documentation as to what radius servers are supported. I am hoping Windows server 2008 R2 with a radius role installed, but i am just not sure.
If anyone can help i would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you
Joey

That is correct! Cisco ISE supports integration with a single Active Directory identity source. Cisco ISE uses this Active Directory identity source to join itself to an Active Directory domain. If this Active Directory source has a multidomain forest, trust relationships must exist between its domain and the other domains in order for Cisco ISE to retrieve information from all domains within the forest.
However, you may create multiple instances for LDAP. Cisco ISE can communicate via LDAP to Active Directory servers in an untrusted domain. The only limitation you would see with LDAP being a database that it doesn't support PEAP MSCHAPv2 ( native microsoft supplicant). However it does suppport EAP-TLS.
For more information you may go through the below listed link

ISE for Guest Auth but need traffic logs

We have guests that visit our office and connect to the Guest WiFi. We want to implement ISE for the self-sign in portal. That would help us determine the user and have them accept the legal terms without involving IT.
When a guests logs in and surfs the web, We want to track which websites they go to for legal purposes and hold that information for 18 months. I am not sure how I can achieve this second part.
The guests may visit it us 1 or 2 times every 6 months so using WSA with AD auth, for example, would not be ideal and that's why we like the ISE portal.
We are using Cisco 5500 WLC's.
Any help is appreciated.

If your guests surf through an ASA firewall, you can send that firewall syslog to ise, and ise will correlate the logs with the guest users that are logged in, so you can track activity in ise. There is a report that is called something like "Guest Activity" where this will get collected.

10.6.4 Server L2TP VPN using external RADIUS - Authorization Failed

I'm using 10.6.4 with VPN L2TP configured successfully using local user database for authentication. Now i want to configure the VPN to use Steel Belted Radius server for authentication (that hooked up to another LDAP server) for authentication.
I've configured the VPN service to use the radius server, authentication to radius is occurring but i'm getting errors that the user is not authorized to use the VPN service.
Is there a way to configure 10.6's VPN service to authorize any user that successfully authenticates against Radius?
NOTE: I've played around with Server Admin's access for VPN, with it set to all users, everyone ect, this did not make any difference to the error i'm getting from the vpn service.

OTP of ASDM using external radius server ( Not RSA )

Hello,
Just seeing if the ASDM will support OTP using an external radius server, and not RSA. I see there was a feature added to 8.2 that states its possible with RSA, but nothing of any other support. Just checking to see if someone know for sure.
Thanks,
Jason

I did see in the Release notes for ASDM 6.2, that SDI is support with RSA. Can anyone confirm or not if it works with Radius too ( OTP ).

Possible to use external HD with 2 machines?

Aloha all, I have been using an external HD with my MacBook to store librarys for iPhoto, & Aperture. It has worked great, but today I hit a snag. I cannot get the drive to show up when I plug it into my G5. I would like to be able to use it with both.

Do you have a LAN that you can connect the two Macs to? If so then log into the MacBook from the G5 and select the external HD. That will let you access any of the libraries on the external HD. Just be sure to set the ownership of the external HD to be ignored as seen here.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

How can I use external tables with directories not on Oracle host?

Oracle 11.2.0.2
We have developers using C# to populate global temporary tables (two one header and detail with 1 to many relationbship between these two tables). The process of using C# was blowing up memory on Windows.
As an alternative I requested them to create two CSV files and I can use sqlldr to load the detail CSV file of over 1 million rows under 15 seconds. It came to my mind that I could use external tables for this purpose with getting read of header and trailer from the CSV files.
The issue I have is that I am not a DBA so I do not have access to OS host that Oracle instance is running. sqlldr is a client side tool, whereas external tables are server side. I was wondering if there is an alternative in 11g to use external tables without creating directories on the OS host that Oracle runs on? Are there other alternatives?
Thanks
