Re: Anyconnect ISE Posture redirect

stamperbrian · ‎01-18-2022

I set out to test this and make it work but am stuck with the client never redirecting.

I followed this guide and searched high and low through a number of others as well as looking at ISE configurations on ASA for additional examples.

https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/security/identity-services-engine/215236-ise-posture-over-anyconnect-remote-acces.html

I connect to the VPN just fine and authenticate. I hit the right unknown posture authz policy. I get the redirect ACL as well as the redirect url. Once Connected I can ping ISE by IP and the name listed in the redirect URL, nslookup dns names, I can pull up ISE on port 8443. And if I actually type the whole redirect URL the page pulls up and starts me through the process. However, I can never get the redirect to actually happen by itself. I've tried both windows and mac clients and neither will redirect.

On ISE:

  Redirect ACL : anyconnectredirect

Rob Ingram · ‎01-19-2022

@stamperbrian what is the configuration of the redirect ACL? Are you redirecting on http or https?

If you take a packet capture on the client can you see the attempted communication to ISE?

If you manage the endpoints you can also pre-deploy the configuration with the ISE call home servers defined and not rely on redirect.

stamperbrian · ‎01-19-2022

I've tried the ACL redirect a couple different ways. Right now its:

deny any ISE

deny any DNS

permit any any

I've tried it with permit any http as well but doesn't seem to make a difference.

With the packet capture I have to wait till the VPN is established and use the Ethernet interface. If i use the physical wired/wireless interface all I see is the encrypted VPN traffic. However, I never see any DNS lookups for my ise. Lots of other normal DNS stuff.

I just tested adding the call home server ISE PSN Ip in the Call Home LIst. No Change there. I've also tried setting a discovery host but also not luck there. I know my plumbing is good being I can get to the ISE server and even manually kick off things if I type in the whole redirect URL. Same with DNS.

Being this is more or less just lab I own everything and could seed things but would like to figure out why this redirect isn't working if possible.

stamperbrian · ‎01-19-2022

In addition since this is in lab and I've done a lot with the FTD in use I built a new one, followed the FTD portion of the guide I put in the first post and again, same issue. I hit the right ISE policy, get the redirect url. On the client can ping ISE by name as listed in the redirect and by IP, nslookup for anything, but i never get redirected to the ISE portal.

Danny Dulin · ‎04-09-2025

@stamperbrian Did you ever get a resolution to this?

I have the same issue you are having. I've done all the things you have done. I have experienced all the things you have.

I'm beginning to think it is my host or maybe the Cisco Secure Client (AnyConnect).
