later labs where appropriate.

Step 15 Next, navigate to the other menu options available just to familiarize yourself
with GUI navigation. You will be accessing most of the configuration options
available in much more detail throughout the entire course.
The Operations tab will allow you to view live logs and live sessions for things
such as RADIUS and TACACS+ sessions.
The Policy tab is where you will perform authentication and
authorization configurations, as well as profiling, provisioning, and
posture. Take the time to view the default polices that come with ISE for
authentication, authorization, profiling, and provisioning. You will be
modifying some of these and adding new policy configurations in later
labs.
The Administrations tab is where you will perform system functions,
identity management, add network resources, device portals, and other
services available on Cisco ISE.

This activity has you exploring multiple Cisco ISE guest access configurations and
operations. The lab helps you to really understand how various guest access scenarios work
and why you might want to use them in your organization. You will start with configuring
Cisco ISE guest access using a hotspot portal. This portal is for organizations who want the
simplest method of providing guest access, with less concern for strict control over who uses
the service, or tracking who uses the service. Some organizations require a bit more control
and awareness concerning who uses guest access. You will learn how to accommodate these
scenarios, such as guest access for self-registration, and self-registration with sponsor
approval. Finally, you will configure and validate sponsored guest access.

In this activity, you will explore multiple Cisco ISE guest access configurations and
operations. After completing this activity, you will be able to meet these objectives:

Discussion
The policy you just configured is a hardware-based policy. As you can see from the previous
task steps, the employee1 user logging into a smart device was given Guest Access instead of
Wireless Employee Access. At this point in time if the smart devices policy was truly an
exclusive approved list of devices that was allowed to access the network, you could use the
Approved_Smart_Devices logical profile as an additional condition for each wireless
authorization policy. By adding this as an additional condition to the employees, contractors,
an
network. Only successfully profiled hardware that matches the individual or component
polices of the Logical Profile would be permitted.
Remember also, that policies are evaluated in a top-down order. This policy was purposely
placed near the top to exemplify this fact. It is important to always consider context-based
attributes or information when creating policies.
Due to limited lab time in this five-day class, you will not be configuring your policies as
such. In the next steps, you will disable the Smart Devices authorization policy for simplicity

via a Native Supplicant Provisioning profile, which you will define. You will configure a
certificate authentication profile, and this profile will use attributes from internally deployed
CA certificates. With all this in place, you will configure Cisco ISE authentication and
authorization policies for BYOD access. You will then use this configuration to onboard a
mobile BYOD device.

In this activity, you will configure Cisco ISE for BYOD on boarding. After completing this
activity, you will be able to meet these objectives:
Create a customized My Device portal
Configure Cisco ISE to provision certificates via the internal CA and deploy those
certificates via a Native Supplicant Provisioning profile
Configure a certificate authentication profile that utilizes the attributes from the
internally deployed CA certificates
Configure Cisco ISE authentication and authorization policies for BYOD access
Onboard a mobile BYOD device

The figure illustrates what you will accomplish in this activity.

In this task, you will configure certificate provisioning using the internal CA functionality
Cisco ISE. You will then configure a supplicant provisioning policy utilizing that internal
CA provisioning configuration.
Cisco ISE comes with a default certificate template which could be used for BYOD. You
will use that default certificate template with a few modifications that are specific to this
deployment.

Note It is important that any time a default template is used, it is modified to fit the specific
installation environment.

Activity Procedure
Complete these steps:
Certificate Provisioning
Step 1 In your Cisco ISE admin portal, navigate to Administration > System >
Certificates and then in the left pane select Certificate Management > Trusted

Allowed Protocols Review
Step 7 Navigate to Work Centers > BYOD > Policy Elements > Results > Allowed
Protocols,
Step 8 In the right pane, click Default Network Access.
Observe that EAP-TLS and PEAP with an inner method to EAP-TLS are both
allowed. This is sufficient for this access use case (TLS client certificate-based
access).

Tip - low EAP-

flexibility. Enabling this feature by itself weakens the security that is inherent in the
expiration process of X.509v3 certificates. However, Cisco ISE has a dictionary
condition, CertRenewRequired, which could be used in an Authorization Policy near the
top or as a Global Exception policy, which evaluates the expiration of the certificate and if
it is expired, can be used to apply an Authorization Profile that redirects to the CWA
portal. Hovering your mouse over the (i) icon at the end of the line will pop-up a message
indicating this as shown in the following screenshot.

204 Implementing and Configuring Cisco Identity Services Engine (SISE 2.4) v3.0.1 © 2018 Fast Lane
In this task, you will configure Cisco ISE posture update settings that will be used later for
compliance to check posture compliance of clients.

Activity Procedure
Complete these steps:
Posture Updates
You will perform a manual posture update in this section.
Step 1 Navigate to Work Centers > Posture > Settings > Software Updates >
Posture Updates.
Step 2 Click the Automatically check for updates starting from initial delay check
box to enable auto updates. After the initial download, this will perform an
incremental update automatically from Cisco.

Note By default, posture updates are configured to be retrieved from the web and automatic
checking is disabled.

Posture updates include a set of predefined checks, rules, and support list for antivirus
and anti-spyware for both Windows and Macintosh operating systems. When you
perform your initial update process usually takes approximately 20 minutes.

Step 3 Click Save.


Step 4 Click Update Now to start the initial posture update process. As mentioned
above this process can take approximately 15 minutes.

Note You can safely navigate away from this page and continue on to the next steps while this
process works in the background.

Step 5 Observe the Update Information section below to view the status on updates. The
following fields are useful in determining proper functioning, Last successful
update on and Last update status since ISE was started.

© 2018 Fast Lane Lab Guide 205


Posture General Settings
Step 6 Navigate to Work Centers > Posture > Settings > Posture General Settings.
The settings on this page are used when there is no profile under the client
provisioning policy. You will be configuring the client provisioning policy later
in the lab. However, it is a good practice to set a baseline configuration here in
the event that a policy is misconfigured or absent in the future.
Step 7 Change the Remediation Timer field from 4 minutes to 20 minutes to allow for
patching or other required remediation steps to be performed by the end-user.
Step 8 Change the Default Posture Status setting from NonCompliant to Compliant.
Step 9 Enable the Automatically Close Login Success Screen After setting and change
the value from 0 to 3 seconds.

Step 10 Click Save.

Note Leaving the value at 0 would configure the client to not display login success screen.
This may be optimal in some organizations.

Posture Lease
The default configuration as indicated in this section is to perform a posture assessment
every time a user connects to the network. By enabling the second option, the system is
considered to be compliant for the configured number of days (range 1 365) and will be
checked at the configured interval.

Note No configuration change will be performed at this time.

Note Posture leases are only applicable to Cisco AnyConnect Unified Agent access.

In this task, you will adjust the authorization policy for compliance checking.

Activity Procedure
Complete these steps:
Policy Set Evaluation
Step 1 Navigate to Work Centers > Posture > Policy Sets and then to Wired_Access >
Authorization Policy.
Examine the authorization policy rules and notice that right now things are pretty
clean. You have profiled IP phones, two rules for employees or contractors, a rule
for domain computer authentication, and a default deny rule at the end. Having
created all of the guest access rules under the wireless access policy has allowed
the wired policy to stay clean. By using the condition function of policy sets to

wired access into two different parts in a similar way that we split our overall
access into wired and wireless policy sets.
In the following section you will go to the process of creating a separate policy
set for wired MAB access. This will allow you to consolidate all of your policies
that would apply to wired map access in a central location without having to
evaluate whether policy would apply to an 802.1X session or a MAB session.
You will also modify the existing Wired_Access to apply to 802.1X sessions.
Policy Set Modification
Step 2 Click in the top Policy Sets to go back to the Policy Set overview.
Step 3 Click the + symbol on the left side to create a new Policy Set in the top of your
policy sets.

Note Policy sets are evaluated like Access control lists, top down. Like ACLs, the order of your
rules can determine if your policy functions as expected.

Policy Set Wired_MAB_Access


Name Description Condition(s) Allowed Protocols / Server
Sequence

Wired_MAB_Access Wired MAB [ Drag & Drop Condition from Library ] Default Network Access
Device Compound Condition >
Access Wired_MAB

Step 4 Click Use and verify your policy set with the following screenshot.

Step 5 Click Save at the bottom or top.


Step 6 Modify the Wired_Access policy set according to the table below.

212 Implementing and Configuring Cisco Identity Services Engine (SISE 2.4) v3.0.1 © 2018 Fast Lane
Policy Set Wired_8021X_Access
Name Desciption Condition(s) Allowed Protocols / Server
Sequence

Wired_8021X_Access Wired DEVICE:Device Type EQUALS All Device Default Network Access
802.1X Types#Wired
Device AND
Access
Compound Condition > Wired_802.1X
[ Drag & Drop Condition from Library ]

Note While in this specific lab environment and configuration, it is not necessary to build a
compound condition of device type wired and Wired_802.1X, the purpose for doing so is
to illustrate the flexibility and capability of the policy set condition aspect of Cisco ISE.

Tip Applying this logic, it would be possible to create a condition matching a specific device
location and access method, wired or wireless, etc. and access type, MAB or 802.1X, to
create and maintain organized policy sets.

Step 7 Click Done and verify your modification with the following screenshot.

Step 8 Click Save.


Wired MAB Policy Set Modification
Step 9 Select the Wired_MAB_Access policy set.
Step 10 Edit the Default Authentication policy rule to Continue if the user is not found
and select as Identity Source All_User_ID_Stores.

© 2018 Fast Lane Lab Guide 213


Step 11 Add the following Authorization policy rule above the Default rule.
Guest Internet - Authorization Policy

Attribute Value

Rule Name Guest Internet


Conditions NetworkAccess:UseCase EQUALS Guest Flow
(identity groups and other
conditions)
Results (Profiles) Internet Only

Step 12 Modify the Default rule to use the authorization profile CWA Posture
Remediation.
Step 13 Verify your policy with the following screenshot.

Step 14 Scroll down and click Save.

Caution In a production environment it would be important to copy and create policy rules to
facilitate profiled devices which would access the network by way of MAB. For the sake
of time and due to the simplicity of this lab environment you will not be creating or
configuring such rules.

Wired 802.1X Policy Set Modification


Step 15 Select the Wired_8021X_Access policy set.
Step 16 Edit the Wired AD Employees authorization policy rule.
Step 17 Open the Conditions section.
Step 18 Add a new Attribute/Value.
Step 19 Configure the following condition: Session:PostureStatus EQUALS
Compliant.
Step 20 Verify the operand that is set to AND.

Step 21 Click Use at the bottom.


214 Implementing and Configuring Cisco Identity Services Engine (SISE 2.4) v3.0.1 © 2018 Fast Lane
Tip Saving the posture status condition to the library for reuse with a simplified name would
make reading policy conditions in their final state easier than reading and attribute value
statement.

Step 22 Edit the Wired AD Contractors rule by adding the condition


Session:PostureStatus EQUALS Compliant and verifying the operand is AND.
Step 23 Click Use at the end of the line.
Step 24 Add the following authorization policy rule above the Default rule.

AD Posture Assessment - Authorization Policy

Complete this lab activity to practice what you learned in the related module.

Device administration in ISE involves controlling network administrator access to network


devices. Network administrators often have different levels of access to different network
equipment, depending on their role. Most organizations prefer to centralize the control and
maintenance of this function. The TACACS+ function of Cisco ISE enables this central
control. Through TACACS Live Logs and reports, ISE provides centralized monitoring,
report administration. In this lab, you
will configure ISE for basic Device Administration of IOS devices.
You will begin by configuring the policy elements that are required for network device
administration.These policy elements will then be used in the basic authentication and
authorization policies, which you will create. Of course, each Network Access Device
(NAD) must be configured to support TACACS+, and so you must configure the required
AAA commands to fulfill this need. You will then log in with different users to validate both
your authentication policies, and your authorization policies. You will know that you have
granular control of not only who can access your network devices, but also what they can do.

The figure illustrates what you will accomplish in this activity.

Complete this lab activity to practice what you learned in the related module.

In this exercise, you will configure TACACS+ command authorization and bind these
commands to a device administration policy. Privilege-level authorization associates
commands with privilege levels, per network device. ISE can then apply the default and
maximum privilege level to a user upon log in. Privilege level authorization requires each
device be configured with privilege levels and command sets (overriding the default privilege
levels). TACACS+ command authorization centralizes the administration of commands to be
allowed or denied. When TACACS+ command authorization is enabled, each command that
is entered on a device is authorized against the TACACS+ service.
You will begin this lab by configuring TACACS Command sets. Then you will modify the
authorization policy to use these command sets. You will modify the switch configuration to
support command authorization, and then test the various users to check their access levels.

The figure illustrates what you will accomplish in this activity.

This task is focused on two additional TACACS features:
1. Login authentication and enable authorization differentiation: Sometimes an
organization will choose to use different identity stores for login and enable. For
example, for device login, the organization may choose to use existing Active
Directory credentials, minimizing the administrative burden of creating new
credentials. For network administrators who need a higher level of access through
enable, the organization may want to manage the enable passwords via the ISE
internal user database or one-time passwords. This lab uses ISE internal users. These
users are pre-configured.
2. CLI Password change: TACACS+ supports inline password changes by the network
administrator. The network administrator can invoke this functionality by just hitting
return when prompted for a password.

Activity Procedure
Complete these steps:
Configuring Repositories.
Step 1 To enable login authentication and authorization differentiation, modify the
authentication policy to use different ID stores for login and enable. Navigate to
Work Centers > Device Administration > Device Admin Policy Sets >
Wired_Devices.

Step 10 Using PUTTY, open a SSH session to the 3k-access switch.
Login using the credentials employee1 / 1234QWer.This should
succeed.
Type enable and use the 1234QWer password. This process will fail as
the enable password is checked against the Internal Users database where
the password for employee1 is different.
Type enable and use Cisco123 as the password. This process should pass
as it matched with the password stored in the Internal Users database.
Go to TACACS Live Logs to check the logging records.

Step 11 For TACACS+ password change ability, open a new PUTTY SSH session to the
3k-access switch. Log in as employee1 / 1234QWer. When asked for enable
password, press Enter. You will be prompted for old password Cisco123,
followed by the new password 1234QWer.
