Context Visibility->Endpoints in ISE 2.1

paul — Thu, 22 Sep 2016 16:30:12 GMT

I am running ISE 2.1 patch 1 and have a "Is this functioning as designed?" question.

In the Context Visibility->Endpoints display there is a two columns which seem to be miscoded. The "Authorization Policy" seems to be showing the "Authentication Policy" result. I always see "Default" in this column which is true for the authentication policy the endpoint hit but definitely not the authorization policy. The "Authorization Profile" is showing the authorization rule name not the authorization profile. There is a difference and a column called authorization profile should show the profile the endpoint hit not the rule name.

Are these as designed?

It might be a bug as the endpoint I checked has the same info as AllowedProtocolMatchedRule in the endpoint detail. Let me check with our teams.

I found another bug on that Context Visibility screen. You can clearly see in the RADIUS Live Logs that the MAC address has correctly hit my Dot1x Domain Computer rule:

But Context Visibility shows it hitting the MAB Catch All rule:

I have a Wired MAB Policy Set and Wired Dot1x Policy Set. So it seems like it is recording the result from the MAB policy set which isn’t correct. The MAC is correctly authenticated via 802.1x from my Dot1x policy set.

You can also see the issue I described in the first part of my posting. The “Authorization Policy” is completely wrong and the “Authorization Profile” is showing the rule name not the actual profile name.

I think the authorization profile not getting updated, as it's not considered as an attribute significant to profiling classification. Thanks for the feedback and I will follow it up with our teams.
