Cloud Web Security (formerly Scansafe) ldap resultCode: 49 Invalid Credentials. Default usergroup applied after user's sAMAccount authentication fails after BINDING

Joe Lourenco
Level 1
Level 1

I have a serious problem  with LDAP, for the purpose of Scansafe, on a 3945 ISR with IOS 15 (C3900-UNIVERSALK9-M). LDAP  binding to the LDAP Server (Active Directory on Win Srv 2008 R2) when authenticating any domain user, except  for the default Scansafe Bind Root-DN user, is failing.

 

The testing of any user's sAMAccount name, is failing, and it defaults to the default Scansafe usergroup.

 

# test aaa group <ldap group name> <userid> <pwd> new-code

User Rejected

 

# sh ldap server all   (the output is correct when checking to see if any LDAP server exists)

 

My config is exactly as Scansafe's configuration guide:

 

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/web_security/ISR_SS/ISR_ScanSafe_SolutionGuide.pdf

 

I am using NTLM ACTIVE AUTHENTICATION and I have the LDAP  attribute map for mapping the sAMAccount name to the user's username.

 

In that PDF, on the bottom of page 12, there is this paragraph that describes exactly what is happening to my Scansafe.

 

"Configuring a Default User Group

You can configure a default user group to assign to each client when the ISR cannot determine the

credentials for a user. Define a default user group using the following CLI command:

[no] user-group default <name>

 

The ISR uses the default user group name here to identify all clients connected to a specific interface on  the ISR when it cannot determine the user’s credentials. You might want to define a default user group  so that all traffic redirected to the ScanSafe proxy servers are assigned a user group so particular  ScanSafe policies can be applied appropriately. For example, you might want to create a default user       group for guest users on the wireless network.Only one user group can be defined per interface."

 

Now,  what does this problem affect? I cannot enforce the  application of  filters from the Scansafe site to specific user groups.  Users can use  the internet under the default usergroup. Everyone  defaults to the  default filter. I have a filter established for say  Purchasing, allowing  them extra leeway on what they can access, but the  members of that group  cannot authenticate, and thus their filter is not  applied.

 

Application of filters is essential to Scansafe, without, it defeats the purpose

 

I appreciate all the help I can get on this.

 

Here is what my logs show regarding LDAP BINDING OPERATION, from # debug ldap all:

 

 

-- Testing with jltestuser (this is just any random user, as all users are failing anyway)

Never got this fixed. Management pulled the plug on this service. This issue goes back to when Cisco acquired Scansafe, possibly there is better documentation and assistance today. Hopefully someone can post a solution after going through a similiar issue.

Hi Joe,

   If you are still experiencing this issue, I think it would be very beneficial if you would open up a TAC case on the issue so that it can be properly investigated in depth. Please do so, and our engineers will be more than happy to assist you.

Sincerely,

get it solved.

my env:

3925 with ios 154-3.M1

my config:

XXX1#sh run | se ldap
aaa group server ldap AAA-LDAP
 server DC1
ldap attribute-map MAP-LDAP
 map type sAMAccountName username
ldap server DC1
 ipv4 192.168.17.3
 attribute map MAP-LDAP
 bind authenticate root-dn administrator password XXX
 base-dn DC=XXX,DC=com,DC=cn

my test:

XXX1# test aaa group AAA-LDAP USERNAME PASSWORD new-code
User successfully authenticated

2 years ago i had deployed ASA with IPSEC VPN against LDAP, that grammar on ASA was

 ldap-login-dn administrator

it worked well. but unlike any examples on the forums, there was no CN nor DC, not at all....

THIS IS A SAD STORY.
