CISCO ISE Devices failing authorization policy randomly

FrankH31494 — Wed, 17 Mar 2021 13:56:39 GMT

Having an issue with several hosts. Periodically, they will try to reference their host mac address, instead of using the computer’s AD account. I am reviewing the radius logs, and comparing a failed authorization attempt and a successful one. On the failed one, I will get the following

15013 Selected Identity Source - Internal Endpoints
24209 Looking up Endpoint in Internal Endpoints IDStore - D8:CB:8A:87:E9:22
24211 Found Endpoint in Internal Endpoints IDStore
22037 Authentication Passed
24715 ISE has not confirmed locally previous successful machine authentication for user in Active Directory

15016 Selected Authorization Profile - Wired_Deny_All

Currently using ISE version 2.6.0.156

IMO to me this sounds like 802.1x is terminating on the respective clients, and then attempting to onboard via mab. During the onboard attempt via mab the hosts are not matching any mab authz policies, and therefore hitting deny all. I think for the community to better assist we need more information such as:

-Supplicant used (native/nam)?

-Supplicant configuration

-802.1x configuration/Interface configuration

-Any other notable discrepancies between the troubled clients versus the other working clients

Are you doing 'Computer Auth' only and is that configured on native supp? Have you attempted to run any debugs on the switch?

debug dot1x all

debug radius authentication

debug eap all

Something is causing 802.1x to terminate to then fallover to mab.

I figured it out. it looks like the host, had Jumbo packets turned on for the ethernet adapter. I disabled it, and it's now working. Thanks for your help and input.
