Cisco ISE integration with Cisco WLC - Not Working

swaeltjie23
Level 1
Level 1

Cisco WLC Software Version: 8.5.140.0

Cisco ISE Version: 2.4.0.357 with Patches 5 & 6

Documentation followed: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/security/identity-services-engine/115732-central-web-auth-00.html#anc12

 

After following the above documentation, I'm still unable to successfully connect a client to the SSID. It keeps on saying that it's Obtaining an IP Address and nothing happens. I can confirm that radius is fine between WLC and ISE. When I disable MAC-Filtering on SSID, all works perfectly fine when connecting to SSID. As soon as I enable it, I can't connect. I can also confirm that Cisco-AV-Pair of portal and ACL is being sent back from ISE to WLC. 

 

Any ideas?

Is the client getting an IP address?  If not, then it smells a bit like ACL is blocking it.

 

If you look at the Result Profile that ISE sends to the WLC, is the Redirect-URL valid, in terms of a URL that a client on the Guest VLAN could resolve?   e.g. https://ise.mycompany.com:8443/portal...blah - the client VLAN needs to be able to resolve ise.mycompany.com to the IP address of the PSN that processed the MAB request.

 

Maybe the WLC settings are suspect.  If you get stuck, just share your WLAN profile for a sneak peek.

What do you see in ISE logs?

What does show client detail <mac address of client> show?

What does show client detail <mac address of client> show?

(Cisco Controller) >show client detail xx:xx:xx:d4:fa:6f
Invalid client MAC address provided.

As the client never actually connects successfully to the SSID, the output doesn't show anything

What do you see in ISE logs?

ISE logs indicate that all is well. Authorization was successful and returned back to WLC.

The Web redirect ACL is pretty important - has to allow the client to get DNS, DHCP and talk to ISE PSN's

If the WLC is stuck on DHCP_REQ mode (for example) then it means the client cannot get its DHCP request through.  I would look at the ACL carefully.  Maybe start with a permit all (to rule out the ACL being the culprit) and then work your way down the list 

Currently the access list is exactly configured as in the documentation (IP addresses are different of course). I also tried with a permit all rule but that still made no difference

Client never gets an IP address. We have double checked and it's not the DHCP server. When you test with a physical host on the vlan, the host obtains an IP without issues.

 

Regarding the portal, I modified it so that we don't send a DNS name but instead a IP address - "AAA Override Url-Redirect 'https://10.10.10.10:8443/portal....blah". 

 

I have changed vlan ID, SSID Names and IP's for the purposes of pasting the configuration here of the WLAN profile:

We ran across similar issue. I dont guarantee this the fix, but we disabled DHCP Address Assignment Required on WLC. Clients connected no problem.

Hi,

What did you do in order to fix it?

I'm having the same issue with an ISE 2.4 Patch 9 and a vWLC with an AP in flex connect using an SSID for MAB, if I have mac filtering in the wlan configuration the user never gets an ip address from the DHCP server.

Regards,

We disabled 'DHCP Addr. Assignment' advanced setting for WLAN. Doesn't seem
like the logical fix, however, reproduced errors when enabled. Hope that
helps you.
