ISE-based certificate authentication

Hello

I am developing an understanding of certificate based authentication using EAP - TLS on the ISE. My question is do we really certificate authentication profile (CAP) even if it is enough just to perform certificate-based authentication and we don't are not interested in setting up authorization rules based on which field of the certificate was specified as username in the CAP. I'm asking this because I think that probably in certificate based authentication, ISE has just need to check the validity of the certificate and if it was signed by a certification authority that it can check by looking in the certificate store. Please let me know if I have the wrong concept.

I am curious to know what the whole purpose of CAP? I read in a book that:

To validate the identity ISE must ensure that the credentials are valid. In the case of authentication based on certificates, it must determine if:

The digital certificate was issued and signed by a certification authority (CA).

The certificate has expired (check the dates of the beginning and end).

The certificate has been revoked.

The customer has provided evidence of possession.

This certificate has the correct use of the key, the critical extensions and extended values present key usage.

So in above listed points where is used specifically for CAP?

Thank you for taking the time to answer.

Kind regards

Hi, Quesnel, I'll try to answer your points as best I know :)

#1) I don't really know what the mechanics of ISE are when it comes to the CAP. It is however a snip-it of the Cisco Design Guide:

S certificate of authentication profiles (CAP) are used in the rules of authentication for authentication based on certificates. The CAP sets certain attributes in the certificate to find out & use as a source of additional identity. For example, if the username is in the CN = field of the certificate, you can create a COURSE that examines the CN = field. Then these data can be used and verified against other sources of identity, such as Active Directory

http://www.Cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/solutions/collateral/enterprise/design-zone-security/howto_60_byod_certificates.PDF

(#2), you should be able to set a COURSE and use it as a storage of identity without the need to put in a sequence. I've done several times and just re - confirm is it possible in my lab. Please check again :)

(#3) une sequence of identity store lets examine you more than one identity store. In addition, it defines defines the order in which the Sources of identity are questioned. Once a match is found, the process stops and the information returned to ISE.

Thank you for evaluating useful messages!

  • ISE Local certificate and the certificates in the certificate store

    Hello

    I'm pretty new to ISE and read the document in the link below to create understanding "Local certificates" and "certificate store certificates. It seems that in the former certificate is used to identify the EHT on customers and is later used to identify customers at the ISE.

    http://www.Cisco.com/c/en/us/TD/docs/security/ISE/1-2/installation_guide...

    Now, what part of the ISE configuration told him to check the certificate sent by the client in its certificate store? I am somehow the mixture up with "Certificate authentication Profile", which is used in the identity Source sequence. But I guess that the certificate authentication profile is used to verify the certificates from a source of external identity as AD or LDAP. So where do we consider 'certificate certificate store' in our configuration of ISE.

    Thanks in advance for help out me.

    Kind regards

    Quesnel

    Hi Quesnel-

    (ISE) server certificate can be used for are:

    1 HTTP/HTTPs - is for the ISE web server that is used to host various portals (comments, Sponsor, BYOYD, my devices, etc.). This certificate is normally issued by a public CA such as VeriSign or GoDaddy. A public certification authority is not necessary, but outside your environment, customers who do not trust the certification authority that issued the certificate will get an error HTTPs warning to users that the certificate could not be verified.

    2 EAP - this is for EAP based authentication (EAP - TLS, EAP-PEAP, EAP-PEAP-TLS, etc.). This certificate is usually issued by an internal CA. The same certification authority issues usually user and/or computer-based certificates that can be used for the authentication type EAP - TLS.

    The certificate store is used to store root certificates and intermediate certificate authorities you ISE to trust. By example, if a computer is running a machine ISE authentication must trust the certification authority who has signed/issued the machine certificate. Therefore, the machine will also have to trust the certification authority which has issued/signed the ISE server certificate that you torque to the EAP process.

    Profile of teh authentication certificate is required if you want to use certificate based authentication. The CAPE tells ISE which attribute of the certificate should be used for the usernmane. Then based on that you can create more specific authorization profiles/rules information. You can also configure CAP to make a comparison of binary certificate with AD and confirm wheather or not the certificate is/has been published to AD.

    I hope this helps!

  • Certificate authentication mode?

    I want to try to build a more secure LAN. I want that every client (with or without wire) to connect the network used a certificate not a username/password pair.

    But now, as I am a newbie, I don't know what to choose between GANYMEDE + and RADIUS. Because I have a Mac mini, RAY is perhaps more appropriate, but I don't know how to establish the certification authority.

    Any help or suggestion will be appreciated!

    More generally, we do this in the context of the implementation of a product as of Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE). ISE uses 802. 1 x and has the ability to check clients for things such as a certificate during authentication / posture assessment / remediation process.

    Also, it acts as a RADIUS server, and can dynamically remove permission (CoA) change to the authenticator (i.e. switch or wireless controller) to control things like the assignment of VLAN client and everything you can apply access lists.

    Client side, a supplicant is used to interact with the authenticator. You can use native supplicants to OS X or Windows, etc, but we generally recommend use of the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility client with its access network (NAM) Module, because it is much more complete for this purpose.

    You could also make 802. 1 x with certificate authentication and use an authentication server different backend (like a regular Cisco ACS or Microsoft Network Policy Server), but you get only basic authentication more vs rich functionality what ISE gives (although ISE is much more ;)).

    Take a look at this Youtube video for an example of setting up certificates of authentication on ACS:

  • ISE - whereby the CRL broke all our certificate authentication

    Dear all,

    We have a strange problem with ISE 1.2 (899).

    Some of our clients (PC, printers, IP phones) use certificates to authenticate over the network.

    Printers and IP phones use the same product CA certificates (for memory we call it CA Alpha) but the PC you are using certificates provided by another authority of certification (called CA Beta).

    The question that if configure us CRl for CA Alpha (CRL download is OK, checked with tcpdump) we saw that all clients (clients using CA Alpha or beta) cannot authenticate, and display error messages.

    12514 EAP - TLS failed SSL/TLS handshake because of unknown CA in the client certificate chain

    SSL Alert: code = 0 x 230 = 560; source = local; fatal = type; message = "Unknown CA - error unable to get local issuer certificate"

    Anyone who has experienced the same problem?

    Hello

    It is a limitation on native begging him, when you activate the smart card or certificate of authentication for the network connection, and then he tries to use it for the computer and user authentication. It does not use certificate for machine auth authentication and authentication of the password for the user authentication.

    You can use the anyconnect Network Access Manager (which is free if you have a cisco wireless network) and not only it allows you to define what type of desired authentication (certificate of machine) and password for the user, but it has a new feature called the chaining of eap. Chaining of EAP is a powerful option because you can choose the order (machine first then user) when the client connects to the network. You have is no longer to point out about machine authentication timers and I was wondering what that is best suited when it comes to registration of users in and out of their machines in order to refresh the cache of authentication machine at ISE. However chaining eap uses eap-fast, which is a framework for authentication based on the CAP.

    This is the last note of release on this feature (currently in beta):

    Hi Eric, this error message indicates that the client attempting to authenticate does NOT approve the CA that signed the certificate to your servers from ISE. You use a self-signed certificate or do you have a public certificate from a public CA such as VeriSign, GoDaddy, etc.?

  • ISE with certificate - without AD

    Hello

    We would like to implement the following:

    Corporate (non-private) Tablet and mobile devices (Ipad, Android) can connect to company SSID wireless with certificate installed on it.

    but without members of AD, so certificates exist only on the server public key infrastructure. (of course the auth is based only - TLS certificate)

    I know the BYOD is very even, but - as I understand - AD authentication based on the final phase, after which the certificate of authenticity is a simple certificate.

    Is it possible to implement without AD? The provision of certificate is a special assistance service, not controlled by the user.

    TIA

    Attila

    Of course, also your authorization rule does not try to match something like an ad group, you should be fine with EAP - TLS without integration AD.

  • Remove the ISE server certificate EAP

    I installed the GoDaddy server certificates on all my 1.1.1 ISE nodes, but customers are still getting the error and accept certificates.  I would just remove EAP certificate and not use any certificate for EAP.

    Explain the problem more in detail. You try to use the comments or 802. 1 x. There are many protocols of authentication you want to use EAP. TLS and PEAP require the use of the cert. What you are trying to accomplish and what are the issues?

  • ISE and certificates

    Hi all

    Im trying to get my head around the use of 3d party certificates with the ISE and I think that I need advice here.

    I have a setup of 6 knots ISE, 2xAdmin, 2xMonitoring and 2xPolicy.

    All the these have the abc.local domain name.

    I want to use MS-CHAPv2 and customer service without certificate error.

    So I register all my six knots with some 3d CA? Or only the nodes 2xPolicy?

    I know that the best solution would be the six, but just to know if it is possible.

    How to work around the problem with .local? I don't think that it is possible to get a certificate with .local as a domain in the FULL domain name.

    Is that useful here of SAN certificates? How would look (even .local in CN..?)

    Other things to consider in the present?

    concerning

    Mikael

    That's right, that you must issue the CSR based on the currently configured for ise host name that corresponds to the fqdn.

    Your problem is that the public certificate authorities will not issue you a cert because you use a .local and not a public domain such as .com, .edu or .org to name a few.

    The only way to solve your problem is to use a Microsoft private certification authority that is simple to configure. Or change your area om ise and use the public domain of your company name.

    Thank you

  • ANyConnect Client certificate authentication and verify the Client against the Microsoft AD using DAP via LDAP domain membership

    Hello

    as described in the title one want to connect with AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client 3.0.2052 ASA 5540 Version 8.4 and licence Premium SSL.

    Customers using Maschine certificate to authenticate to ASA. It works very well.

    Now, I want to install a DAP to check the customer against the Microsoft AD using LDAP. I have configured the LDAP server in see ASA:

    AAA-Server LDAP protocol ldap
    AAA-Server LDAP (inside) host ldap.com
    LDAP-base-dn DC = x DC = x, DC = x DC = com
    LDAP-scope subtree
    LDAP-login-password *.

    I see that it works if I test via the testbotton server in ASDM and I also see in CLI "debugging ldap 255". But if I configure in DAP: AAA attribute ID:memberOf = Membre_domaine I can't see any request to the LDAP server as I try to connect with the Client und does not correspond to the DAP.

    No idea where the problem lies?

    Thanks in advance

    Hi Klaus,

    DAP will not make any call LDAP itself, it will only act based on the attributes received LDAP via the LDAP authentication or authorization.

    So you will need to enable the LDAP authorization in the tunnel - or connect to groups.

    Once you have, you can either use DAP or a map attribute LDAP for accept/deny access, see the example of these two methods.
