WLC 9800 L authentication

TRNnHelp
Beginner
Beginner

I have a WLC 9800 L controller with 2 WLAN's.  One with AAA Radius and Mac authentication.  It is working without issue.  The 2nd one is a Guest WLAN. It works without issue if I choose Consent as the authentication.  But fails if I try to use Web Authentication or webconsent. 

The message in syslog is Authc fail. Authc Failure reason No response from client.

Any help is appreciated

how did you configure the webuthon 9800 wlc ?

I create AAA method list Authenication

 

 

-  Review the 9800   L current configuration with the CLI command : show  tech   wireless , have the output analyzed by  https://cway.cisco.com/tools/WirelessAnalyzer/  , please note do not use classical show tech-support (short version) , use the command denoted in green for Wireless Analyzer.               Checkout all advisories!

Ethernet TW2GB0/0/1

Dynamic desirable  (Dynamic Auto also works)

Vlan222

Native LAN 1

 

AAA Method List >

Authentication >Guest Type Login  >  Group Type Local

Authorization > Guest type Network  > Group Type Local

 

AAA Advanced

Attribute list name Guest attribute

 

Security > Guest User > Guest and Guest2

 

Webauth > Global > Virtual IPV4 192.0.2.1

Webconsent ( Tried web Auth, Webconsent, and Consent) Consent works but the other 2 do not

 

WLAN Guest > layer3 -Web Policy >Web Auth Parameter map > Global > have also tried with one I created

Authentication list > Guest

 

ProfilePolicy > Guest > VLAN222

I ran the show tech wireless and ran the analyzer and there are no errors.  I connect to the controller but weather I use a guest user that exists or one that doesn't exist I get authentication failed.  I can do an NSlookup successfully  to www.cisco.com and www.google.com but I cannot authenticate to get internet access.  

I have gone thru multiple documents for configuration and it seems no matter what I change I still cannot authenticate. 

 

 - You may want to do some client debugging , check : https://www.ciscolive.com/c/dam/r/ciscolive/emea/docs/2020/pdf/BRKEWN-3013.pdf , look for RA Traces , you can have client debugs analyzed with : https://cway.cisco.com/wireless-debug-analyzer/

I ran the  traces and analyzed but all I get is Credential authentication failure during layer 3 authentication.  I have created different user and passwords on the controller under guest users and this is the error in the trace no matter what account I use.
