About this Document

This document is for Cisco Engineers, partners and customers deploying Cisco Web Security Appliance (WSA) 11.7 with Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) ver. 2.4 using Cisco Platform Exchange Grid (pxGrid) 2.0.

Cisco pxGrid 2.0 does not use “java” or “C”-based SDK; instead pxGrid 2.0 uses WebSocket and REST API over STOMP Messaging Protocol.

WSA 11.7 includes ISE-PIC support and uses a combination of the ISE External RESTful Services (ERS) APIs and pxGrid 2.0 this functionality.

This document assumes that you have a full version of ISE installed and along with plus licenses for pxGrid so you have the ability to assign to Active Directory (AD) User groups to the WSA web access policies and Cisco Security Group Tags (SGT).

This document includes:

  • Configuring ISE-PIC for WMI operation
  • Configuring the WSA for pxGrid and ISE ERS Operation to illustrate assigning AD user groups to web access policies and assigning Cisco TrustSec Security Group Tags (SGT) to web access policies as well.
  • Using external Certificate Authority (CA) and ISE internal CA for certificate operation
  • Create web access policies for SGT of Employees to monitor all traffic
  • Create web access policies to Deny Gambling sites for the IT Group based on the AD user groups obtained by the provider, Active Directory.

.

Technical Details

Cisco WSA 11.7 and above uses Cisco Platform Exchange Grid (pxGrid 2.0) for integration with Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) 2.4 and above. Cisco pxGrid 2.0 uses Websocket and REST APIs over the STOMP Messaging protocol. For more information on pxGrid 2.0 please see www.cisco.com/go/pxgridpartner

The WSA will subscribe to the /topic/com.cisco.ise.session topic, the /topic/com.cisco.ise.session.group and the /topic/com.cisco.ise.config.trustsec.security.group

The session topic provides a wealth of information about the authenticated session:

timestamp": "2017-06-29T13:22:46.788-07:00", "state": "STARTED", "userName": "user1", "callingStationId": "33:33:33:33:33:33", "auditSessionId": "101", "ipAddresses": ["1.2.3.4"], "macAddress": "33:33:33:33:33:33", "nasIpAddress": "172.21.170.242", "adNormalizedUser": "user1", "providers": ["None"], "endpointCheckResult": "none", "identitySourcePortStart": 0, "identitySourcePortEnd": 0, "identitySourcePortFirst": 0, "networkDeviceProfileName": "Cisco", "mdmMacAddress": "33:33:33:33:33:33", "mdmOsVersion": "9.3.5", "mdmRegistered": true, "mdmCompliant": true, "mdmDiskEncrypted": false, "mdmJailBroken": false, "mdmPinLocked": true, "mdmModel": "iPad mini", "mdmManufacturer": "Apple", "mdmImei": "dummy15", "mdmMeid": "dummy16", "mdmUdid": "dummy17", "mdmSerialNumber": "dummy18", "mdmDeviceManager": "sns"

The session group topic provides authenticated group identification, the provider attribute will contain the provider or authentication source details such as “Active Directory”,”External”, “Identity” for the authenticated groups. This also contains “interesting groups” related to ISE-PIC. The ISE Extended RESTful (ERS) APIs are used to the fetch the groups from the AD groups “interesting groups” and incorporate these groups in a WSA web access policy directly. You will be able to apply these groups directly:

The trustsec.security.group provides Security Group Details (SGT) such as id, name and description.

"id":"92adf9f0-8c01-11e6-996c-525400b48521","name":"Unknown","description":"Unknown Security Group","tag"

With pxGrid 2.0, the pxGrid client requests the ISE node publishing the services, i.e. com.cisco.ise.session, via a service lookup request. The ISE pxGrid node responds with the ISE node publishing this service, along with the WebSocket URL. The pxGrid client then requests an access secret with the published node and receives a response.

The pxGrid client then registers and connects to the published node, using certificates. The pxGrid node also subscribes to the topics. The status “ON” represents a successful WebSocket connection. If this were in the “OFF” position, there would be some type of network connectivity issues with the client.

Configuring ISE-PIC

ISE Passive Identity Connector (PIC) connector gathers user identities and IP addresses from external authentication servers such as Active Directory, known as providers, and then share that information with subscribers such as the WSA. ISE-PIC first receives the user identity information from the providers, usually based on the user login and password, and then performs the necessary checks and services in order to match the user identity with the relevant IP address, thereby delivering the authenticated IP address to the subscriber.

The flow for ISE-PIC is as follows:

  1. Provider performs the authentication of the user or endpoint.

  2. Provider sends authenticated user information to ISE-PIC.

  3. ISE-PIC normalizes, performs lookups, merges, parses and maps user information to IP addresses and publishes mapped details to pxGrid.

  4. pxGrid subscribers receive the mapped user details.

 

Create a Common Join Point

 
Note: Steps 1-9 may have already been completed as part of the initial ISE install.

 

  1. Select Administration->Identity Management->External Identity Sources->Active Directory->Add the Joint Point Name, i.e.pxGridUser and the Active Directory Domain, i.e. lab10.com
    image.png
  2. Select Submit
  3. Select Join, add the
    image.png
  4. Select Ok
  5. You will be prompted to join the newly created join point to the domain, select Yes
  6. Select Groups->Add->Select Directory Groups
  7. Select Retrieve Groups
    You will see
    image.png
  8. Select OK
  9. Select Save
  10. Select Administration->Identity Management->External Identity Sources
    image.png
  11. Select PassiveID->Add DCs
  12. You should see the following
    image.png
  13. Select the Domain Controller
    image.png
  14. Select OK
    You should see the following:
    image.png
  15. Select OK
    You should see the following:
    image.png

     
    Note: in this example, WMI has already been configured. To configure WMI, select WMI, this may take a while to complete. You should see a successfully configured DC message.
  16. Select Groups. You should see the groups already enabled for the initial AD setup:

WSA pxGrid Configuration

In this section, an external Certificate Authority (CA) server was used for generating certificates for the WSA and the ISE pxGrid node. If you are not familiar with creating certificates using an external CA server, please see Deploying Certificates with pxGrid using an External CA with updates to ISE 2.0/2.1/2.2 . It is also assumed that you have created the ISE pxGrid node for external CA server operation, if you are not familiar with this, please see Deploying Certificates with pxGrid using an External CA with updates to ISE 2.0/2.1/2.2 . Additionally, if this is a productional ISE deployment, please see: Deploying pxGrid in a Productional ISE Deployment.

Using ISE Internal CA

Please to generate certificates for the WSA using the ISE internal CA, please see: Using ISE 2.2 Internal Certificate Authority (CA) to Deploy Certificates to Cisco Platform Exchange Grid (pxGrid) Clients.

The pxGrid certificate is signed by the default ISE internal CA by default.

  2. Verify the SGT IP Mapping

    In the example below, pxGrid2@lab10.com has been assigned the Employee SGT which has a hex value of 4, as defined in ISE.

    ssh admin@192.168.1.18
    password: xxxxxx

    wsa1.lab10.com:>isedata

    Choose the operation you want to perform:
    - STATISTICS - Show the ISE server status and ISE statistics.
    - CACHE - Show the ISE cache or check an IP address.
    - SGTS - Show the ISE Secure Group Tag (SGT) table.
    - GROUPS - Show the ISE Groups table.
    []> CACHE

    Choose the operation you want to perform:
    - SHOW - Show the ISE ID cache.
    - CHECKIP - Query the local ISE cache for an IP address
    []> SHOW

    192.168.1.50 pxgrid2@lab10.com 4
    192.168.1.150 00:0C:29:FE:3F:1F 0
    10.0.0.7 74:E5:0B:4A:48:0C 0
    192.168.1.251 00:0C:29:AD:40:27 0
    10.0.0.1 44:32:C8:93:A0:E3 0
    192.168.1.232 00:0C:29:FE:18:62 0
    192.168.1.18 00:0C:29:36:2E:14 0
    192.168.1.231 00:0C:29:8B:18:78 0

 

  1. Verify the user has been assigned to the correct web access based on the SGT.

Watch out for bugs CSCvr11328 or CSCvr10059. ISE patch 9 changes the syntax of the AD groups response, from "adgroups" to "adGroups", with consequence the WSAs in the affected (11.7+) versions are not able to retrieve the AD groups.

Hello all

Thanks for sharing.

I currently have problems related to the sequence policy in wsa, if the user successfully authenticates in cisco ISE and gets the employee SGT, but if the wsa access policy requires another SGT, the user will ignore it, how can I make the SGT in ISE automatically sync according to the needs of wsa?
