Error to validate a pxGrid certificate in FMC

LuigiDiFronzo9542 · ‎08-19-2024

Hello,

I create a pxGrid certificate in ISE following this URL (https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/security/identity-services-engine-32/220856-configure-and-troubleshoot-ise-3-2-with.html#toc-hId--1225537032).

When I tried to add the internal cert in FMC I got this error:

"Failed to validate Cert Based EO: System (/usr/bin/sudo /usr/bin/openssl rsa -outform pem -inform pem -in /tmp/Sp3Kkt49CV -passin file:/tmp/5ZbeyQmSDf -out /tmp/XKD_szJlF6) Failed"

Anyone has an idea?

Thanks.

When you generated the certificate from ISE did you do it without a CSR? How did you then import it into FMC?

Thank you for your response Marvin,

Yes I generate the certificate from ISE without a CSR like the info in the link. The certificate was downloaded in my pc and from the FMC I was able to import the cert and the private key.

I generate again the pxgrid certificates in ISE and this time the FMC was able to recognize and accept the cert.

I added the trusted root CA too and when I configured the integration with ISE in FMC the test failed with this error:

I have to say that testing ping betwen ISE and FMC is sucesfully and the time configuration is good.

It seems to be a problem with the certificate. What coud be the error and timeout issue?

Thanks.

Your network connectivity is good.

Make sure that the certificate you add and select for the MnT server and pxGrid server is the "Certificate Services Root CA - ISE-NR-1".

FMC needs to trust that and, once it does, the SSL/TLS handshake should succeed.

Thank you Marvin,

I took the correct root certificate and now when doing the test I advanced a little more. Now this message appears:

What could be happen?
