SSH failure for ASA 8.2 (3)

I have a pair of 5520 s 8.2 (3) running in active failover mode / standby, routed. I have a problem with SSH as it stops worked shortly after, less than 8 hours during the current network, telnet works fine as is https/AMPS.

I've recreated the encryption key and ssh access. When I try to connect, I just get a blinking cursor, telnet to the ip address and port 22 also works.

Thank you

Hi Patrick,

There were a handful of SSH bugs fixed since 8.2 (3). A couple of note are:

CSCti72411 - ASA 8.2.3 may not accept connections from management after failover

CSCtf01287 - SSH to the ASA may fail - ASA can send Reset

You should switch to 8.2 (5) to obtain the fix for these bugs, and your problem should be solved.

    Hi Gavin,

    Here is the sample config for ASA's telnet authentication from Tacacs: username admin password xxxxx privilege 15 aaa-server TEST protocol tacacs+ aaa-server TEST (inside) host x.x.x.x  yyy   [x.x.x.x is the ip address of the tacacs server and is reachable from the inside interface and yyy is the shared secret key.] aaa authentication telnet console TEST LOCAL   [This will send the telnet authentication request to the tacacs server first and if it is not reachable then use the local database of the ASA] aaa authentication ssh console TEST LOCAL    [same as above but for ssh session] aaa authorization exec authentication-server    [this enables exec authorization for the telnet and ssh sessions.] 
    aaa authentication http console TEST LOCAL [for HTTP]
    order of accounting AAA TEST [this helps accountants of the order for all orders entered in the telnet or ssh session.]  On the Ganymede server we need to add this ASA as a RADIUS client with shared secret key yyy.

  • Capture of single failure for each test

    Assuming that the learner is allowed 3 try to click on the file menu, is there a simple way to display an error different each time that the learner clicks at the right place? Or this would require an advanced action?

    In fact, my preference would be not to show any legend of failure on the first attempt. So to show a failure caption on the second try and a different legend broke down on a third try.

    Jinx, wrongly understood the question. It will be a bit more complicated, there is no system variable that records the number of attempts at the level of the question. It works:

    • create three boxes click in exactly in the same place on the location where the user must click: CB_1, CB_2, CB_3
    • Click each box has only one attempt, only the first CB_1 is configured to be visible and has no caption failure, for CB_2 and CB_3 create the failure caption intended
    • set the action on each box of click success
    • as the last attempt for the first action, click Inbox CB_1 create an advanced standard action FirstAttempt
      • Hide CB_1
      • See the CB_2
    • as the action of the last attempt for the second box click CB_1 create an advanced standard action SecondAttempt
      • Hide CB_2
      • See the CB_3

    Heavy workflow, I know. Even with sharing of actions, which I recommend if you have version 7. Problem is that you always have to change the settings, in this case the ID of the boxes click if you need this several times in the project.

  • ASA - SSH failure

    Hi all

    Another sily question, I configure an ASA so I could access it via ssh. Everything is configured as described in the user guide for the cisco, but surprisingly enough, it does not work...

    I tried ssh v1 and 2, I have zero key and regenerated a new but it still does not work. Connectivity seems to be although I get ssh prompt.

    Any idea?

    Kind regards

    Thibault.

    Thibault, you do not have AAA activate, try adding that this command so you will be authenticated with the local database:

    AAA authentication enable LOCAL console

    LOCAL AAA authentication serial console

    AAA authentication http LOCAL console

    the ssh LOCAL console AAA authentication

    AAA authentication LOCAL telnet console

    LOCAL AAA authorization command

    local AAA authentication try 5 max in case of failure

    Hope this helps.

  • Work around the EXEC Mode when connect in SSH for ASA 8.4 (2)

    Hi all

    I would check with you all, is there anyone able to access the 8.4 (2) Cisco ASA CLI without needs to enter the enable password?

    Currently, it is configured with GANYMEDE for CLI and ASDM access.

    ASDM, we have not had any problems and be able to access and to change directly in own entry GANYMEDE credential.

    However for the CLI, we need to type 'enable' and also the enable password before login.

    Is there anyway that we could ignore the EXEC mode and access to the PRIVILEDGE mode directly?

    Thanks a lot for your help!

    Current config:

    AAA-server xxxx Protocol Ganymede +.

    AAA-server xxxx (management) host xxxx

    Kind regards

    Danny

    Unfortunately, ASA does not support the feature AAA Exec permission yet, so he can't be configured with GANYMEDE or RADIUS to directly access the privileged exec mode. We go through with authentication enable

    Like this:

    ===================

    ASA:username: *.

    ASA:password: *.

    ASA: > activate

    Password: *.

    ===================

    This is because the ASA does not include the cisco-avpair = "" shell: priv-lvl = 15 "attribute."

    The ASA does not support the Exec AAA authorization still features, so it cannot be configured with RADIUS or GANYMEDE.

    The workaround for this problem is to manually the user to activate the mode mode switch.

    It is compatible with IOS (routers/switches).

    Kind regards

  • SSH access to ASA

    I can not access our ASA 5505 over SSH from outside. I set this through the ASDM to allow SSH (device management > access management > ASDM, HTTPS, Telnet, SSH). I have added a rule that allows the SSH on the external interface 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0. When I try to ssh with putty, he says 'network connection closed unexpectedly server' when I look at the logs on the ASA, it shows a Built inbound TCP connection on port 22, but then immediately a disassembly TCP connection. It does not show that it is blocked by any rule. Is there something that I am missing about the SSH activation?

    Thank you

    Scott

    Hello

    In addition to the hosts permitted to SSH for the SAA, you must set the RSA keys for the secure connection.

    In the CLI:

    generate encryption rsa key

    For these keys to work, you should have a name of host/domain configured on the SAA so name (unless you configure a dedicated RSA keys).

    So basically, configure a host name, domain name and generate the RSA key pair:

    hostname NAME_OF_ASA

    NAME_OF_DOMAIN domain name

    generate encryption rsa key

    Accept the default of 1024 and it should work.

  • Import a public ssh key for a specific user of DRAC via racadm?

    Is there a racadm command to download and install a public ssh key into account a specific drac of the user.

    In the GUI, I see features to add 4 different keys per user access from remote devices with the key private without a password for ssh.

    I have not found a command for it in the last iDRAC CLI PDF 7/8.

    I don't see that installed public keys are exported with an export of the server profile which would mean that access would be lost when profile importing. Is this correct? If so is this remedied the iDRAC future releases?

    You can use "racadm sshpkauth" to import or delete the public SSH key users to iDRAC.  You can get more details on the use of race using command "racadm help sshpkauth" or the RACADM CLI guide (link below)

    http://www.Dell.com/support/manuals/us/en/19/idrac7-8-lifecycle-controller-v2.30.30.30/iDRAC_RACADM_Pub/sshpkauth?GUID=GUID-BE12ABD1-4995-4FA3-B090-9CB41321B7A4&lang=en-us

  • Protect and control the license for ASA with the power of fire

    I had 1 ASA 5515 initially delivered with the software cx, then made room for the software of firepower and got the virtual firesight for 2 devices and license of TAMAS tha L-5515, but this license was told only the URLs and malware license, I thought that this license was for all that since he has no other licenses in the data sheet and it's Reference with more features.

    How can I get the license protect and control now so I can add the asa with the firepower to firesight and apply to all licenses

    Thank you

    Hello

    L ASA5515-TAMAS = SKU license plans to "MALWARE" and "URLFilter" and legally gives the user to updates of the signature "PROTECT + CONTROL". It does not license "PROTECT + CONTROL". You need to buy "ASA5515-CTRL-LIC =" to license "PROTECT + CONTROL".

    Please discuss a case with CISCO GLO, they can help provide a CTRL license

  • Issue of NAT for ASA running 8.4 (5)

    We have a client who is about to hang an ASA off the coast of the demilitarized zone of our firewall that is running 8.4 (5). This firewall is currently on another part of our network, and NAT will be considerably changed. Now, everything on the client firewall must be coordinated outside for the same thing as the IP model internal, for example like the old "static (inside, outside) 172.16.16.0 172.16.16.0 netm 255.255.255.0" command.

    When I look at the document from Cisco for (conversion) NAT

    ( http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/asa/asa83/upgrading/migrating.html#wp96828), I see not all conversions between the two. This is not a "nat 0" because users need access to certain hosts inside the firewall of our customers.

    Can someone tell me please in the right direction? Thank you

    Hello

    Lets assume that the following is true

    • The new ASA has 'inside' and 'outside' network/interface only
    • The ASA News should do EVERYTHING NAT 'inside' to 'outside' to any kind of situation traffic (your firewall handles this?)

    Then you can simply have the ASA with absolutely no. NAT configurations. The ASA with new software releases 8.3 and above all automatically passes all traffic through the ASA UNNATED. We use it on a single client and it works very well.

    Please let me know if the above is the case, or can't think of anything else

  • Minimum memory on ASA5585 for ASA OS 9.1

    Hello

    I´d would like to know how many DRAM and flash memory, an ASA5585 must run the ASA OS 9.1.

    Thank you for all.

    Hello

    We ordered 5 ASA5585 - SSP-20 x, a couple of years back. They have 12 GB of memory.

    The document I linked also list they have 12 GB of memory. So, I wonder if you run software 8.2 on the SAA? It could be that it limits the amount of memory that recognizes the ASA.

  • What VPN Client for ASA 5550 AnyConnect Premium connection?

    We have version9 a couple of ASA550 I want to put in place a VPN client for use with remote access to administration.  We have included AnyConnect VPN, Premium license peers 2 so I guess we can just use of Cisco AnyConnect VPN client.  I went to Cisco's Web site and it says that I don't have right to the last Anyconnect VPN Client 4.x but I don't have access to the version 3.x.

    The 3.x client is compatible with the ASA and also Windows 10?

    If Yes, what is the correct file to use, there are many files listed for download in AnyConnect 3.x?

    In addition, what is the difference between the AnyConnect 3.x and 4.x customer and why Cisco restricting 4.x?

    Jim

    AnyConnect 4.x has changed the licensing model. AnyConnect 4.x licenses are term based licensing vs perpetual 3.x. There are a number of other differences, mainly due to there being only two license types - more and Apex - no Mobile plus, Advanced Endpoint Assessment, shared VPN etc. Cisco offers a nominal or no license cost of migration until the end of 2015. (depending on what you have: positive Essentials or Apex at premium)

    AnyConnect 3.1 will work with Windows 10 and the latest version of the Software ASA (since Version 3.1.10010). Reference:

    http://www.Cisco.com/c/en/us/TD/docs/security/vpn_client/AnyConnect/ANYC...

    There are two ways it is distributed - as a stand-alone installation or package for the distribution of the ASA station. Both come in Windows, Mac OS X and Linux distributions. For a Windows client, you must use either:

    AnyConnect-Win-3.1.12020-pre-deploy-K9.ISO

    AnyConnect-victory - 3.1.12020 - k9.pkg

    .. .to the current version of these respective form factors.

  • AIP - SSM upgrade for ASA active / active

    Hello world!

    I need help on improving the aip - ssm modules to E4 on two s asa who are active/active state. I'll be able to do this without downtime? What are the considerations?

    AIPs are independent of the resumption of the SAA, however, the SAA can consider the status of the AIP in passage of failover, which means it can failover

    If it detects a module AIP descending on the active device.

    The best method for upgrading in this situation will be the status of active failover Setup for all groups on the SAA primary, then upgrade the AIP of the ASA high school.

    Once the agreement in principle of the school is completely updated and functional, then set all groups to be active with the ASA failover secondary.

    Then the primary AIP.

    Once the primary AIP is completely level and working, you can then restore the status of the ASAs failover, by setting the active failover for the Group on the ASAs specific you want them to be active on...

    Kind regards
