Background Information

The per user Access Control List (ACL) is part of Cisco Identity networking. Cisco Wireless LAN Solution supports identity networking, which, while it allows the network to advertise a single SSID, it also allows specific users to inherit different policies based on their user profiles.

The per user ACL feature provides the ability to apply an ACL configured on the Wireless LAN Controller to a user based on the RADIUS authorization. This is accomplished with the Airespace-ACL-Name Vendor Specific Attribute (VSA).

This attribute indicates the ACL name to be applied to the client. When the ACL attribute is present in the RADIUS Access Accept, the system applies the ACL-Name to the client station after it authenticates. This overrides any ACLs that are assigned to the interface. It ignores the assigned interface-ACL and applies the new one.

A summary of the ACL-Name Attribute format is shown below. The fields are transmitted from left to right

Network Diagram

This document uses this network setup:

In this setup, the Wireless LAN Controller WLC and LAP are used to provide wireless services to the users in Department A and Department B. All the wireless users use a common WLAN (SSID) Office to access the network and are in the VLAN Office-VLAN.

The Cisco Secure ACS server is used to authenticate wireless users. EAP authentication is used to authenticate users. The WLC, LAP, and Cisco Secure ACS server are connected with a Layer 2 Switch as shown.

Router R1 connects the servers on the wired side through the Layer 2 Switch as shown. Router R1 also acts as a DHCP server, which provides IP addresses to wireless clients from subnet 172.16.0.0/16.

You need to configure the devices so that this occurs:

User1 from Department A has access only to server 172.16.1.100

User2 from Department B has access only to server 172.16.1.50

In order to accomplish this, you need to create 2 ACLs on the WLC: one for User1, and the other for User2. Once the ACLs are created, you need to configure the Cisco Secure ACS server to return the ACL name attribute to the WLC upon successful authentication of the Wireless user. The WLC then applies the ACL to the user, and thus to the network is restricted dependent upon the user profile.

Note: This document uses LEAP authentication for authenticating users. Cisco LEAP is vulnerable to dictionary attacks. In real time networks, more secure authentication methods such as EAP FAST should be used. Since the focus of the document is to explain how to configure Per User ACL feature, LEAP is used for simplicity.

The next section provides the step-by-step instruction to configure the devices for this setup.

Configure

Before you configure the per user ACLs feature, you must configure the WLC for basic operation and register the LAPs to the WLC. This document assumes that the WLC is configured for basic operation and that the LAPs are registered to the WLC. If you are a new user, who tries to set up the WLC for basic operation with LAPs, refer to Lightweight AP (LAP) Registration to a Wireless LAN Controller (WLC).

Once the LAPs are registered, complete these steps to configure the devices for this setup:

1. Configure the Wireless LAN Controller.

2. Configure the Cisco Secure ACS server.

3. Verify the configuration.

Note: This document discusses the configuration required on the Wireless side. The document assumes that the wired configuration is in place.

Configure the Wireless LAN Controller

On the Wireless LAN Controller, you need to do this:

- Create a VLAN for the wireless users.

- Configure the WLC to authenticate wireless users with Cisco Secure ACS.

- Create a new WLAN for the wireless users.

- Define the ACLs for the wireless users.

Create a VLAN for the Wireless Users

In order to create a VLAN for the wireless users, complete these steps.

1. Go to the WLC GUI and choose Controller > Interfaces. The Interfaces window appears. This window lists the interfaces that are configured on the controller.

2. Click New in order to create a new dynamic interface.

3. In the Interfaces > New window, enter the Interface Name and the VLAN ID. Then click Apply. In this example, the dynamic interface is named Office-VLAN, and the VLAN ID is assigned 20.

4. In the Interfaces > Edit window, enter the IP address, the subnet mask, and the default gateway for the dynamic interface. Assign it to a physical port on the WLC, and enter the IP address of the DHCP server. Then click Apply.

For this example, these parameters are used for the Office-VLAN interface:

Office-VLAN

IP address: 172.16.1.25

Netmask: 255.255.0.0

Default gateway: 172.16.1.75 (sub-interface on Router R1)

Port on WLC: 1

DHCP server: 172.16.1.75

Configure the WLC to Authenticate with Cisco Secure ACS

The WLC needs to be configured in order to forward the user credentials to an external RADIUS server (in this case, the Cisco Secure ACS). The RADIUS server then validates the user credentials and returns the ACL name attribute to the WLC upon successful authentication of the wireless user.

Complete these steps in order to configure the WLC for the RADIUS server:

1. Choose Security and RADIUS Authentication from the controller GUI to display the RADIUS Authentication Servers page. Then click New in order to define a RADIUS server.

2. Define the RADIUS server parameters in the RADIUS Authentication Servers > New page. These parameters include the RADIUS Server IP Address, Shared Secret, Port Number, and Server Status.

3. The Network User and Management check boxes determine if the RADIUS-based authentication applies for management and network users. This example uses the Cisco Secure ACS as the RADIUS server with IP address 10.77.244.196. Click Apply.

Create a New WLAN for the Wireless Users

Next, you need to create a WLAN to which the wireless users can connect. In order to create a new WLAN, complete these steps:

1. From the Wireless LAN Controller GUI, click WLANs. This page lists the WLANs that exist on the controller.

2. Choose New in order to create a new WLAN. Enter the WLAN ID, Profile Name, and the WLAN SSID for the WLAN, and click Apply. For this setup, create a WLAN Office.

3. Once you create a new WLAN, the WLAN > Edit page for the new WLAN appears. In this page, you can define various parameters specific to this WLAN that includes General policies, Security, QoS, and Advanced parameters.

Check WLAN Status under General policies in order to enable the WLAN. Choose the appropriate interface from the pull-down menu. In this example, use the interface Office-vlan. The other parameters on this page can be modified based on the requirement of the WLAN network.

4. Choose the Security tab. Choose 802.1x from the Layer 2 security pull-down menu (since this is a LEAP authentication). Choose the appropriate WEP key size under 802.1x parameters.

5. Under the Security tab, choose the AAA server sub-tab. Choose the AAA server that is used to authenticate wireless clients. In this example, use ACS server 10.77.244.196 to authenticate wireless clients.

6. Choose the Advanced tab. Check Allow AAA Override to configure user policy override through the AAA on a wireless LAN.

When AAA override is enabled, and a client has conflicting AAA and Cisco Wireless LAN controller wireless LAN authentication parameters, then client authentication is performed by the AAA server. As part of this authentication, the operating system moves clients from the default Cisco wireless LAN solution wireless LAN VLAN to a VLAN returned by the AAA server and predefined in the Cisco Wireless LAN controller interface configuration, which only happenswhen configured for MAC filtering, 802.1X, and/or WPA operation. In all cases, the operating system also uses QoS, DSCP, 802.1p priority tag values and ACL provided by the AAA server, as long as they are predefined in the Cisco Wireless LAN controller interface configuration.

7. Choose the other parameters based on the requirements of the network. Click Apply.

Define the ACLs for the Users

You need to create two ACLs for this setup:

- ACL1: In order to provide access to User1 to the server 172.16.1.100 only

- ACL2: In order to provide access to User2 to the server 172.16.1.50 only

Complete these steps to configure the ACLs on the WLC:

1. From the WLC GUI, choose Security > Access Control Lists. The Access Control Lists page appears. This page lists the ACLs that are configured on the WLC. It also enables you to edit or remove any of the ACLs. In order to create a new ACL, click New.

2. This page allows you to create new ACLs. Enter the name of the ACL and click Apply. Once the ACL is created, click Edit in order to create rules for the ACL.

3. User1 needs to be able to access server 172.16.1.100 only and must be denied access to all other devices. For this, you need to define these rules.

Refer to the ACLs on Wireless LAN Controller Configuration Example for more information on how to configure ACLs on Wireless LAN Controllers.

4. Similarly, you need to create an ACL for User2, which allows User2 access to server 172.16.1.50 only. This is the ACL required for User2.

You have now configured the Wireless LAN Controller for this setup. The next step is to configure the Cisco Secure Access Control server to authenticate the wireless clients and to return the ACL Name attribute to the WLC upon successful authentication.

Configure the Cisco Secure ACS Server

For the Cisco Secure ACS to be able to authenticate Wireless clients, you need to complete these steps:

- Configure the Wireless LAN Controller as a AAA client on the Cisco Secure ACS.

- Configure the users and user profiles on the Cisco Secure ACS.

Configure the Wireless LAN Controller as a AAA Client on the Cisco Secure ACS

In order to configure the Wireless LAN Controller as an AAA client on the Cisco Secure ACS, complete these steps:

1. Click Network Configuration > Add AAA client. The Add AAA client page appears. In this page, define the WLC system name, Management Interface IP address, Shared Secret, and Authenticate Using Radius Airespace. Here is an example:

Note: The shared secret configured on the Cisco Secure ACS must match the shared secret configured on the WLC under RADIUS Authentication Servers > New.

2. Click Submit+Apply.

Configure Users and User Profile on the Cisco Secure ACS

In order to configure users on the Cisco Secure ACS, complete these steps:

1. Choose User Setup from the ACS GUI, enter the username, and click Add/Edit. In this example, the user is User1.

2. When the User Setup page appears, define all parameters specific to the user. In this example, the username, password, Supplementary User Information, and the RADIUS attributes are configured because you only need these parameters for EAP authentication.

Scroll down until you see the Cisco Airespace RADIUS Attributes specific to the user. Check the Aire-ACL-Name to enable the ACS to return the ACL name to the WLC along with the successful authentication response. For User1, create an ACL User1 on the WLC. Input the ACL name as User1.

3. Repeat the same procedure to create User2 as shown here.

4. Click System Configuration and Global Authentication Setup in order to ensure that the authentication server is configured to perform the desired EAP authentication method. Under the EAP configuration settings, choose the appropriate EAP method. This example uses LEAP authentication. Click Submit when you are done.

Verify

Use this section to confirm that your configuration works properly.

Try to associate a wireless client with the Lightweight AP with LEAP authentication in order to verify whether the configuration works as expected.

Note: This document assumes that the client profile is configured for LEAP authentication. Refer to Using EAP Authentication for more information on how to configure the 802.11 a/b/g Wireless Client Adapter for LEAP authentication.

Once the profile for the wireless client is activated, the user is asked to provide the username/password for LEAP authentication. This is what happens when User1 tries to authenticate to the LAP.

The Lightweight AP and then the WLC pass on the user credentials to the external RADIUS server (Cisco Secure ACS) in order to validate the credentials. The RADIUS server compares the data with the user database and, upon successful authentication, returns the ACL name configured for the user to the WLC. In this case, the ACL User1 is returned to the WLC.

The Wireless LAN Controller applies this ACL to User1. This ping output shows that User1 is able to access only server 172.16.1.100, but not any other device.

Similarly, when User2 tries to access the WLAN, the RADIUS server, upon successful authentication, returns the ACL User2 to the WLC.

The Wireless LAN Controller applies this ACL to User2. This ping output shows that User2 is able to access only server 172.16.1.50, but not any other device.

Troubleshoot

This section provides information you can use to troubleshoot your configuration.

On the Wireless LAN Controller, you can also use these debug commands in order to troubleshoot AAA authentication

- debug aaa all enable—Configures the debug of all AAA messages

- debug dot1x packet enable—Enables the debug of all dot1x packets

- debug client <MAC Address>—Enables wireless client debugging

Here is an example of the debug aaa all enable command

Inserting new RADIUS override into chain for station 00:40:96:af:3e:93

You can use a combination of the show wlan summary command in order to recognize which of your WLANs employs RADIUS server authentication. Then you can view the show client summary command in order to see which MAC addresses (clients) are successfully authenticated on the RADIUS WLANs. You can also correlate this with your Cisco Secure ACS passed attempts or failed attempts logs.

Cisco recommends that you test your ACL configurations with a wireless client in order to ensure that you have configured them correctly. If they fail to operate correctly, verify the ACLs on the ACL web page and verify that your ACL changes were applied to the interface of the controller.

You can also use these show commands in order to verify your configuration:

- show acl summary—In order to display the ACLs that are configured on the controller, use the show acl summary command.

Here is an example:

(Cisco Controller) >show acl summary

ACL Name                         Applied

-------------------------------- -------

User1                                  Yes

User2                                  Yes

- show acl detailed <ACL_Name> —Displays detailed information on the configured ACLs.

Here is an example:

Note: Some of the lines in the output have been moved to the second line due to space constraints.

- show client detail <MAC Address of the client> - Displays detailed information about the Wireless client.

Troubleshooting Tips

Use these tips to troubleshoot:

- Verify on the controller that the RADIUS server is in active state, and not on standby or disabled.

- On the controller, check if the RADIUS server is chosen from the drop-down menu of the WLAN (SSID).

- Check if the RADIUS server receives and validates the authentication request from the wireless client.

- Check the Passed Authentications and Failed Attempts reports on the ACS server in order to accomplish this. These reports are available under Reports and Activities on the ACS server.
