Determining the Software Version
There are several ways to determine the version of software running on your Clean Access Manager (CAM), Clean Access Server (CAS), or Clean Access Agent, as described below.
•
Clean Access Manager (CAM) Version
•
Clean Access Server (CAS) Version
•
Cisco NAC Appliance Agents Versioning
•
Cisco Clean Access Updates Versioning
Clean Access Manager (CAM) Version
The top of the CAM web console displays the software version installed. After you add the CAM license, the top of the CAM web console displays the license type (Lite, Standard, Super). Additionally, the Administration > CCA Manager > Licensing page displays the types of licenses present after they are added.
The software version is also displayed as follows:
•
From the CAM web console, go to Administration > CCA Manager > System Upgrade | Current Version
•
SSH to the machine and type: cat /perfigo/build
CAM Lite, Standard, Super
The NAC Appliance Clean Access Manager (CAM) is licensed based on the number of NAC Appliance Clean Access Servers (CASes) it supports. You can view license details under Administration > CCA Manager > Licensing. The top of CAM web console identifies the type of CAM license installed:
•
Cisco Clean Access Lite Manager supports 3 Clean Access Servers (or 3 CAS HA pairs)
•
Cisco Clean Access Standard Manager supports 20 Clean Access Servers (or 20 CAS HA pairs)
•
Cisco Clean Access Super Manager supports 40 Clean Access Servers (or 40 CAS HA pairs)
Note the following:
•
The Super CAM software runs only on the Cisco NAC-3390 MANAGER.
•
Initial configuration is the same for the Standard CAM and Super CAM.
•
Software upgrades of the Super CAM use the same upgrade file and procedure as the Standard CAM. You can use web upgrade or console/SSH instructions to upgrade a Super CAM to the latest release. However, a new CD installation of the Super CAM requires a separate .ISO file.
Clean Access Server (CAS) Version
You can determine the CCA software version running on the Clean Access Server (whether NAC-3300 appliances or Cisco NAC network modules) using the following methods:
•
From the CAM web console, go to Device Management > CCA Servers > List of Servers > Manage [CAS_IP] > Misc > Update | Current Version
•
From CAS direct access console, go to Administration > Software Update | Current Version (CAS direct console is accessed via https://<CAS_eth0_IP_address>/admin)
•
SSH or console to the machine (or network module) and type cat /perfigo/build
Note
If configuring High Availability CAM or CAS pairs, see also Access Web Consoles for High Availability for additional information.
Cisco NAC Appliance Agents Versioning
On the CAM web console, you can determine versioning for the Cisco NAC Appliance Agents from the following pages:
•

Cisco NAC Appliance Agent Enhancements

See Cisco NAC Appliance Agents for enhancement details per Agent version.
General Enhancements
CAS Fallback Behavior Enhancement
In Cisco NAC Appliance Release 4.1(8), the CAS Fallback function has been enhanced to more appropriately handle CAS Fallback behavior when the CAM becomes unreachable on the network. In previous releases of Cisco NAC Appliance, the CAS determined that the CAM was unreachable after failing to successfully poll the CAM over a specified Detect Timeout period and would automatically initiate a Fallback event. Once the CAS was able to successfully contact the CAM one time following a Fallback event, the CAS would assume the CAM was "alive" again and resume normal operation (exit Fallback mode). Unfortunately, depending on the Fallback settings for the CAS, this behavior could lead to the CAS continually flapping between Fallback mode and normal operation when the network experienced even minor intermittent connectivity issues, and leave large segments of the user pool unable to log in.
With Cisco NAC Appliance Release 4.1(8), in addition to setting both the Detect Interval and Detect Timeout values in the CAS Fallback page, administrators can also specify the CAM detection Fail Percentage threshold value that helps better tune the CAS Fallback behavior to the network. When the administrator specifies a value for the Fail Percentage setting, the CAS also automatically sets the subsequent Resume Percentage success threshold value that determines when the CAS returns to normal operation following a CAS Fallback event.
For new installations of Cisco NAC Appliance Release 4.1(8), this enhancement also introduces new default value of 20 seconds for the Detect Interval setting and requires the Detect Timeout value to be at least 15 times the specified Detect Interval. If you are upgrading to release 4.1(8) and already employ CAS Fallback behavior in your system, your existing values for these settings are preserved, and you may need to reconfigure your settings to maintain expected CAS Fallback behavior in your network.
Note
Although the Detect Timeout must be at least 15 times the Detect Interval, Cisco recommends making the Detect Timeout 30 times the Detect Interval value.
This enhancement affects the following page of the CAM web console:
•
Device Management > CCA Servers > Manage [CAS_IP] > Filter > Fallback—new Fail Percentage and Restore Percentage settings and new default value of 20 seconds for the Detect Interval setting (the Detect Interval default value was 60 seconds in previous releases)
CAS HA Pair Link-Detect Configuration Enhancement
Cisco NAC Appliance Release 4.1(8) enables administrators to create and/or edit a configuration file residing on the CAS to specify link-detect interfaces to monitor on the CAS. This enhancement is designed to provide a solution for Cisco NAC Appliance networks where, due to network topology or configuration issues, CAS high-availability (HA) pairs may be unable to verify connectivity with the trusted (eth0) and/or untrusted (eth1) external interfaces specified in the CAS web console (Administration > Network Settings > Failover).
To enable this enhancement, the administrator must add or update the linkdetect.conf file residing in the /etc/ha.d/ directory on the CAS, specifying the interface(s) on which to enable Link-detect functionality. After adding/updating the file, you must stop and then restart services on the CAS using the service perfigo stop and service perfigo start commands.
For more information, see CSCsv74447.
DHCP Failover Behavior Enhancement
Cisco NAC Appliance Release 4.1(8) enhances the CAS failover behavior for DHCP when a standby CAS assumes the role of the active CAS. In the event an active HA CAS performing DHCP address assignment is in Fallback (Fail Open) state before the failover event, the standby CAS is now able to assume DHCP address management functions in addition to user login.
This enhancement addresses an issue where client machines are unable to get IP addresses or even renew address leases when the DHCP service is configured to run on an active HA CAS and the CAS goes into Fallback (Fail Open) mode when the CAM becomes unreachable for an extended period of time. This enhancement also improves Cisco NAC Appliance availability and operation when the active CAS reboots or the CAS fails over when the CAM is unreachable on the network.
For more information, see CSCsv71328.

It is updated regularly to bring the relevant information up to date and to include newly added products for new releases. Cisco recommends keeping your list current, especially when you upload a new Agent Setup version or Agent Patch version to your CAM. Having the latest Supported AV/AS list ensures your AV/AS rule configuration pages list all the new products supported in the new Agent.
Note
Cisco recommends keeping your Supported AV/AS Product List up-to-date on your CAM by configuring the Update Settings under Device Management > Clean Access > Updates > Update to Automatically check for updates starting from <x> every <y> hours.
The following charts list the AV and AS product/version support per client OS as of the latest Clean Access release:
•
Clean Access AV Support Chart (Windows Vista/XP/2000)
•
Clean Access AV Support Chart (Windows ME/98)
•
Clean Access AS Support Chart (Windows Vista/XP/2000)
The charts show which AV/AS product versions support virus or spyware definition checks and automatic update of client virus/spyware definition files via the user clicking the Update button on the Clean Access Agent.
For a summary of the product support that is added per version of the Supported AV/AS Product List or Clean Access Agent, see also:
•
Supported AV/AS Product List Version Summary
You can access additional AV and AS product support information from the CAM web console under Device Management > Clean Access > Clean Access Agent > Rules > AV/AS Support Info.
Note
Where possible, Cisco recommends using AV Rules mapped to AV Definition Update Requirements when checking antivirus software on clients, and AS Rules mapped to AS Definition Update Requirements when checking anti-spyware software on clients. In the case of non-supported AV or AS products, or if an AV/AS product/version is not available through AV Rules/AS Rules, administrators always have the option of creating their own custom checks, rules, and requirements for the AV/AS vendor (and/or using Cisco provided pc_ checks and pr_rules) through Device Management > Clean Access > Clean Access Agent (use New Check, New Rule, and New File/Link/Local Check Requirement). See the Cisco NAC Appliance - Clean Access Manager Installation and Configuration Guide, Release 4.1(8) for configuration details.
Note that Clean Access works in tandem with the installation schemes and mechanisms provided by supported AV/AS vendors. In the case of unforeseen changes to underlying mechanisms for AV/AS products by vendors, the Cisco NAC Appliance team will update the Supported AV/AS Product List and/or Clean Access Agent in the timeliest manner possible in order to support the new AV/AS product changes. In the meantime, administrators can always use the "custom" rule workaround for the AV/AS product (such as pc_checks/pr_ rules) and configure the requirement for "Any selected rule succeeds."
Clean Access AV Support Chart (Windows Vista/XP/2000)
Table 5 lists Windows Vista/XP/2000 Supported AV Products as of the latest release of the Cisco NAC Appliance software. (See Table 6 for Windows ME/98).

1 "Yes" in the AV Checks Supported columns indicates the Agent supports the AV Rule check for the product starting from the version of the Agent listed in parentheses (CAM automatically determines whether to use Def Version or Def Date for the check).
2 The Live Update column indicates whether the Agent supports live update for the product via the Agent Update button (configured by AV Definition Update requirement type). For products that support "Live Update," the Agent launches the update mechanism of the AV product when the Update button is clicked. For products that do not support this feature, the Agent displays a message popup. In this case, administrators can configure a different requirement type (such as "Local Check") to present alternate update instructions to the user.
3 For Symantec Enterprise products, the Clean Access Agent can initiate AV Update when Symantec Antivirus is in unmanaged mode. If using Symantec AV in managed mode, the administrator must allow/deny managed clients to run LiveUpdate via the Symantec management console (right-click the primary server, go to All Tasks -> Symantec Antivirus, select Definition Manager, and configure the policy to allow clients to launch LiveUpdate for agents managed by that management server.) If managed clients are not allowed to run LiveUpdate, the update button will be disabled on the Symantec GUI on the client, and updates can only be pushed from the server.

1 "Yes" in the AS Checks Supported columns indicates the Agent supports the AS Rule check for the product starting from the version of the Agent listed in parentheses (CAM automatically determines whether to use Def Version or Def Date for the check).
2 The Live Update column indicates whether the Agent supports live update for the product via the Agent Update button (configured by AS Definition Update requirement type). For products that support "Live Update," the Agent launches the update mechanism of the AS product when the Update button is clicked. For products that do not support this feature, the Agent displays a message popup. In this case, administrators can configure a different requirement type (such as "Local Check") to present alternate update instructions to the user.

Incorrect "IP lease total" displayed on editing manually created subnets
Steps to reproduce:
1.
Add a Managed Subnet having at least 2500+ IP addresses (for example 10.101.0.1/255.255.240.0) using CAM web page Device Management > Clean Access Servers > Manage [IP Address] > Advanced > Managed Subnet.
2.
Create a DHCP subnet with 2500+ hosts using CAM web page Device Management > Clean Access Servers > Manage [IP Address] > Network > DHCP > Subnet List > New.
3.
Edit the newly created subnet using CAM web page Device Management > Clean Access Servers > Manage [IP Address] > Network > DHCP > Subnet List > Edit.
4.
Click Update. The CAM displays a warning informing the administrator that the current IP Range brings IP lease total up to a number that is incorrect. The CAM counts the IP address in the subnet twice, creating the incorrect count.
The issue is judged to be cosmetic and does not affect DHCP functionality.

Configuring HA-failover synchronization settings on Secondary CAS takes an extremely long time
Once you have configured the Secondary CAS HA attributes and click Update, it can take around 3 minutes for the browser to get the response from the server. (Configuring HA-failover synchronization on the Primary CAS is nearly instantaneous.)

No
Clean Access Agent locks up when greyed out OK button is pressed
The Clean Access Agent locks up when the client machine refreshes its IP address. This only occurs when doing an IP release/renew, so the CAS must be in an OOB setup.
If the Automatically close login success screen after <x> secs option is enabled and the duration set to 0 (instantaneous) in the Clean Access > General Setup > Agent Login page and the user clicks on the greyed out OK button while the IP address is refreshing, the Clean Access Agent locks up after refreshing the IP address. The IP address is refreshed and everything else on the client machine works, but the user cannot close the Clean Access Agent without exiting via the system tray icon, thus "killing" the Agent process.
Workaround
Either uncheck the box or set that timer to a non-zero value. If it is set to anything else, and the user hits the greyed out OK button while the IP is refreshing, then the Agent window closes successfully.
CSCsi07595
No
DST fix will not take effect if generic MST, EST, HST, etc. options are specified
Due to a Java runtime implementation, the DST 2007 fix does not take effect for Cisco NAC Appliances that are using generic time zone options such as "EST," "HST," or "MST" on the CAM/CAS UI time settings.
Workaround
If your CAM/CAS machine time zone setting is currently specified via the UI using a generic option such as "EST," "HST," or "MST." change this to a location/city combination, such as "America/Denver."
Note
CAM/CAS machines using time zone settings specified by the "service perfigo config" script or specified as location/city combinations in the UI, such as "America/Denver" are not affected by this issue.

Time sync on CAS
The CAS network module (NME-NAC-K9) appears as "not connected" in CAM web console after a router/rack power outage.
This issue has been observed on a NME-NAC-K9 running Cisco NAC Appliance release 4.5(1) installed in a Cisco 2821 ISR in Out-of-Band Real-IP Gateway mode. In addition, the CAM returns the following event log message:
"AutoConnectManager failed relinking CAM with CAS-i.p.add.rs."
Note
The time on the CAS module goes back to some time in 2006.
Workaround
The administrator should manually reset the system time in the CAS web console.
CSCsk55292
No
Agent not added to system tray during boot up
When the Agent is installed on a Windows client, the Start menu is updated and Windows tries to contact AD (in some cases where the AD credentials are expired) to refresh the Start menu.
Due to the fact that the client machine is still in the Unauthenticated role, AD cannot be contacted and an approximately 60 second timeout ensues, during which the Windows taskbar elements (Start menu, System Tray, and Task Bar) are locked. As a result, the Agent displays a "Failed to add Clean Access Agent icon to taskbar status area" error message.
Workaround
There are two methods to work around this issue:
•
Allow AD traffic through the CAS for clients in the Unauthenticated role.
•
Try to start the Agent manually after the install and auto load process fails.

DHCP status does not display non-restricted scope with Relay IP restriction
When a DHCP range with no restrictions and a DHCP range with a Relay-IP restriction are created using the Clean Access Manager (CAM) GUI, the DHCP range with no restrictions does not display.
Steps to reproduce:
1.
Create a DHCP scope with no restriction, either VLAN ID or Relay-IP on the CAS using the CAM GUI.
2.
Add a static route on the CAS using the CAM GUI.
3.
Create another DHCP scope with a relay-IP restriction.
4.
Go to the DHCP Status web page.
The web page only displays the IPs for the relay-IP restriction and does not display the non-restricted IP scope.
Workaround
Avoid creating DHCP scopes having both no restrictions and Relay-IP restrictions.
Note
The issue is known to be cosmetic and does not affect functionality.

Multiple Clean Access Agent pop-ups with Multi NIC in L2 VGW OOB role-based VLAN
The user sees multiple Clean Access Agent login dialogs with two or more active NICs on the same client machine pointing to the Unauthenticated network access point (eth1 IP address).
After the first Clean Access Agent pops up and the user logs in, a second Agent login dialog pops up. If the user logs in to this additional Agent instantiation there are now two entries for the same system with both MAC addresses in the CAM's Certified Device List and Online Users List.
Workaround
The user can manually Disable Agent login pop-up after authentication.
CSCsl40626
No
Cisco NAC Web Agent should handle certificate revocation dialogs similar to Clean Access Agent
Upon logging in via the Cisco NAC Web Agent (with certificate revocation turned on or with Norton 360 installed), the user is presented with a "Revocation information for the security certificate for this site is not available. Do you want to proceed?" dialog box several times (approximately 40 to 50 times). If the user clicks Yes to proceed enough times, the Web Agent fails to login and reports "You will not be allowed to access the network due to internal error. Please contact your administrator." back to the user.

CAS duplicates HSRP packets with Cisco NAC Profiler Collector Modules enabled.
Symptom HSRP duplicate frames are sent by CAS in Real-IP Gateway with Collector modules enabled. This causes HSRP issues and the default gateway to go down.
Conditions

Can not do a minor upgrade for Clean Access Agent from MSI package.
When CCAAgent.msi is used and the Clean Access Agent is upgraded to a minor version (e.g. 4.1.2.1 to 4.1.2.2) the following error message will be displayed:
"Another version of this product is already installed. Installation of this version cannot continue. To configure or remove the existing version of this product, use Add/Remove Programs on the Control Panel."
This issue occurs because the Windows Installer uses only the first three fields of the product version. When a fourth field is included in the product version, the installer ignores the fourth field. For details refer to http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa370859(VS.85).aspx
Workaround
Uninstall the program from Add/Remove Programs before installing it.

User is told that Avast needs to be updated, but shows as up to date. This occurs when user is running Avast 4.7 and the Agent version is 4.1.3.0 or 4.1.3.1
Workaround

ActiveX fails to perform IP refresh on Windows Vista with User Account Control (UAC) turned on.
When logged in as a machine admin on Vista and using web login with IP refresh configured, IP address refresh/renew via ActiveX or Java will fail due to the fact that IE does not run as an elevated application and Vista requires elevated privileges to release and renew an IP address.
Workaround
In order to use the IP refresh feature, you will need to:
1.
Log into the Windows Vista client as an administrator.
2.
Create a shortcut for IE on your desktop.
3.
Launch it by right-clicking the shortcut and running it as administrator. This will allow the application to complete the IP Refresh/Renew. Otherwise, the user will need to do it manually via Command Prompt running as administrator.
This is a limitation of the Windows Vista OS.Alternatively, the Cisco NAC Web Agent can be used with no posture requirements enabled.
See also Known Issue for Windows Vista and IP Refresh/Renew.
CSCsm76779

CSRF tag is added to CAS specific MAC Device Filter description field upon edit
Steps to reproduce:
1.
Go to CAS-specific device filters in the CAM web console (Device Management > Clean Access Servers > Manage [IP_Address] > Filter > Devices).
2.
Edit a device filter with the description field like
"<a href='http://www.cisco.com'>Cisco</a>"3.
Click Save. A CSRF tag is appended to (and is visible in) the hypertext entry in the device filter description field.
Subsequent entry updates also append the same CSRF tag each time the administrator edits the description. After editing the description 3 times, however, the entry can no longer be edited and the CAS returns an "Updating device MAC failed" error message.
Note
This issue only addresses CAS-specific device filters and not global device filters addressed with caveat CSCsm55679.

No
Mac OS X Agent reports "Unknown user" when sending the second logout request
The Mac OS X Agent specifies an "Unknown user" when it sends a second logout request before receiving a response from the first logout request.
Steps to reproduce:
1.
Log into the network using the Mac OS X Agent.
2.
Right-click on Agent icon and choose Logout.
3.
Repeat step 2 before receiving a response for the first logout request.
The Mac Agent displays a "Cisco Clean Access Agent is having a difficulty with the server. Unknown user." error message, resulting in a situation where the client machine no longer appears in the CAM's Online Users list even though the Agent indicates that the user is logged in. In this situation, the Mac Agent essentially "freezes" as the user is no longer able to log out, ether.

SEVERE: javax.naming.CommunicationException causes no provider list
Configuration: ADSSO with LDAP Lookup
If the LDAP connection to AD drops because the lookup takes a long time or the route is lost suddenly, the Agent does not receive the list of auth providers so the user is presented with a blank provider list.
Symptom: The dropdown list of authentication providers is blank.
Conditions: LDAP server fails to respond due to network connectivity failure or a long directory search. The failure must occur after communication to the LDAP server has begun.
Workaround: None

DHCP does not work with IGNORE fallback policy and CAS Failover
If CAS Fallback policy is set to IGNORE and the CAM becomes unreachable from CAS, the CAS blocks all traffic and CAS DHCP stops working.
Workaround
Setting the CAS Fallback policy to "Allow All" or "Block All" solves the issue. Also, if you can ensure that the active CAS does not fail over when CAM is unreachable, this situation should not happen.

Clients cannot get IP addresses from CAS DHCP relay agent in CAS fail-open with CAS fallback scenario
Steps to reproduce this issue:
1.
Log into the CAM web console and set CAS Fallback policy as "Allow All."
2.
Configure DHCP relay on CAS and configure IP address of external DHCP server. All clients should be able to get the IP at this point.
3.
Make the CAM unreachable from CAS.
4.
Active CAS fails-open within 5 minutes. Clients can still get IP address assignments from the DHCP server (all traffic is allowed).
5.
Fail-over the CAS by executing "service perfigo stop" or rebooting the appliance. The HA-Secondary CAS now becomes Active and dhcprelay starts on the CAS if you enter netstat.
Even though the administrator can see dhcrelay functioning, clients are now unable to get IP addresses through new Active CAS.

MSI-based upgrade from Agent version 4.1.3.x to 4.1.8.0 requires uninstall
Attempts to upgrade MSI-based Clean Access Agents (provided either manually or via policy-based installation rather than downloaded from the CAS, directly) fails. The Cisco NAC Appliance system also returns the following error message:
"Another version of this product is already installed. Installation of this version cannot continue. To configure or remove the existing version of this product, use Add/Remove Programs on the Control Panel."
This occurs even if the installation file is correctly renamed to CCAAgent.msi prior to installation.
Note
This issue does not affect Agent upgrade when the Agent is downloaded directly from the CAS.
Workaround
Manually uninstall the previous Agent prior to upgrading to version 4.1.8.0.

CAM web console slow and Java process taking 99% CPU
While trying to access the "Device list" and "Profile" from the CAM web console Administration menu, the user interface opens very slowly and, after further investigation, it is observed that the CAM is utilizing 99.9% of the CPU for the Java process.
Workaround
Turn off the CSRF filter on CAM in /perfigo/control/tomcat/normal-webapps/admin/WEB-INF/web.xml:
+ <!--<filter-mapping><filter-name>CSRFFilter</filter-name><url-pattern>/*</url-pattern></filter-mapping>+ -->CSCso32106
Yes
Port list on CAM should be sortable by description instead of index
In the ports list on the CAM, ports are sorted by their index instead of by their slot/port number in IOS. The ports all show up in the correct order:
GigabitEthernet1/2 unassigned YES unset down downGigabitEthernet2/1 unassigned YES unset down downGigabitEthernet2/2 unassigned YES unset down downGigabitEthernet3/1 unassigned YES unset up upBut these ports are sorted by their index on the CAS, so GigabitEthernet 2/1 appears after GigabitEthernet 3/48 on the CAM. This issue has been observed with certain switch configurations, including on the Catalyst 4507R with two SupII+ modules.
Workaround
None. All the ports show up in the CAM, they are just not in the expected order.
CSCso44904
Yes
CAM does not manage CAS via the Manage icon in web console
When clicking the Manage icon in the CAM GUI, the CAM occasionally locks up and does not open the CAS web console, rendering all associated CASs unmanageable.
Note
Although the CAS web console is unreachable, operations continue normally and users are able to authenticate via the Cisco NAC Appliance.
Workaround
Restarting services on the CAM can resolve this issue.
CSCso57843
Yes
Standby CAS sends improper ARP request after bootup
This issue occurs in an HA pair environment using DHCP Synchronization.
Standby CAS sends improper ARP request from untrusted interface after bootup. The ARP request incorrectly updates ARP table on neighbor devices, then the Link Detect response on the untrusted interface is no longer able to reach the active CAS. As the result, HA is triggered.
The ARP packet contains the MAC address of the standby CAS as "Sender MAC" and the IP address of the active CAS as the "Sender IP."
1.
Sender MAC: Untrust MAC of Standby CAS—Correct Info
2.
Sender IP: Untrust IP of Active CAS— Wrong Info
3.
Target MAC: 0000.0000.0000—Correct Info
4.
Target IP: Link Detect IP for Untrusted—Correct Info
Note
There is no known workaround for this issue.
CSCsq27411
Yes
Standby CAS responds to ARP with the wrong MAC address
The CAS responds to ARPs on the untrusted interface with the MAC address of the trusted interface, thus causing the CAS to remain unreachable on the untrusted network.
This occurs if the CAS is set up in Virtual Gateway mode with both interfaces set to the same IP address and it only occurs on the standby CAS in an HA pair. Failing over causes the symptom to move to the other CAS. This issue mainly causes a problem when you are doing link detect on the untrusted side.
Note
There is no known workaround for this issue.

Nessus plug-ins greater than 10 MB size limitation
When uploading a NESSUS plug-in .tar file that is greater than 10MB, the CAM returns the following error:
"Result: Error: Failed to upload file Content Length Error (18113815 > 10485760)"
When the upload file is greater than 10MB, the upload fails.
Workaround
Make the .tar file smaller than 10MB. Split the original .tar file into several smaller files by extracting the .tar file and re-compressing smaller portions of the file collection so that the resulting .tar files are smaller.

Better handling for certificate chain in chain.crt file
Logs show SSL certificate chain errors even though the chain is present in the CAM and CAS. The issue is that the CA elements in the chain.crt file in the /root/.perfigo directory are out of sequence. The result is that the CAM is not able to manage the CAS, even though the certificate chain is present on both appliances.
Workaround
Edit the chain.crt file to correct the sequence of elements in the chain.

CAM Filters page does not display properly with limited Admin privileges
When bringing up the CAM web console Filters page, the administrator receives the following error:
"The link you requested is not present on this clean access system. If you reached this page by following a link from the user interface of the clean access manager or server then please report this as a bug."
Note
When limiting permissions for Cisco NAC Appliance administrators, if the filters page is set for read-only, but the CDL Page is set to Hidden, then administrators get the failure message when attempting to access the Filters page.
Workaround
Set the Certified Devices page to read only under the Admin Group permissions setup (Administration > Admin Users > Admin Groups > Edit).

SSL fails when Netscape Cert Type field does not contain "SSL Client"
As a result, the CAS and CAM disconnect from one another and users cannot authenticate. Report log entries show:
"SEVERE: SSLManager: client's certificate chain verification failed CN=CAS, OU=TAC, O=Cisco, L=RTP, ST=NC, C=US:Netscape cert type does not permit use for SSL client"
If certificates contain a Netscape Cert Type field and are used in release 4.1(6), that field has to contain both "SSL Server" and "SSL Client." If the field does not contain "SSL Client," communication between the CAS and CAM fails.
If the Netscape Cert Type field does not exist, then SSL succeeds. If the Netscape Cert Type field does exist, but does not contain both "SSL Server" and "SSL Client," authentication fails.
Note
This issue has been observed with Entrust certificates and another educational CA.
Workaround
There are two methods to work around this issue:
•
Get certificate reissued by CA with no Netscape Cert Type field, or ensure the field contains both "SSL Server" and "SSL Client."
•
Use temporary certificates (not recommended).
CSCsu46733
Yes
CAM/CAS does not handle blank spaces in certificate
CAM/CAS certificates containing blank spaces do not work when uploaded. You can verify whether or not your certificate contains blank spaces by viewing the certificate in a text editor application like Wordpad or Notepad.
Workaround
Ensure you remove all blank spaces from the certificate.

CAS does not accommodate RADIUS accounting packets greater than 8192 bytes
Cisco Clean Access Servers appear to have a 8192 byte limitation in the size of accounting packets they can successfully reassemble when performing VPN SSO. Packets exceeding 8192 bytes result in an "INFO: Accounting Packet - Stated packet length [10696] is less than physical packet length [8192]" error message.
This limitation means that VPN SSO users with a large amount of groups or other information specified within the RADIUS accounting packet are unable to use SSO and "fall back" to a different authentication mechanism.
Workaround
Set a local authentication fallback.

Start the DHCP server when CAM is not reachable
Clients cannot get IP addresses or even renew the leases when the DHCP service is configured to run on an active CAS (in HA) and the CAS is in Fail Open (FailOpen) due to CAM not reachable for an extended period of time.
Under the following condition the issue will show up:
•
HA CAS in RIP mode
•
DHCP is configured to run in the CAS.
•
CAM is not reachable to the CAS pair.
•
CAS has to Fail Open the traffic.
•
Clients on the untrusted side depend on the DHCP service running on the CAS.

CAS Link-detect to check interface health
For some customers, network topology restricts them from configuring external pingable IP address to handle CAS HA link detection. (When active CAS detects network interface failure, failover will be triggered.)
Workaround
We provide an alternative for the Link-detect function in the CAS web console. Cisco NAC Appliance administrators must add the /etc/ha.d/linkdetect.conf file specifying CAS interface eth0, eth1, or both to be monitored locally for link healthiness. See CAS HA Pair Link-Detect Configuration Enhancement for more information.

Upgrade should modify CAS Fallback old default settings to the new one
If you upgrade the CAS to release 4.1(8) and are using CAS Fallback with the old default settings, the upgrade script modifies those Detect Interval and Detect Timeout settings to the new default values, notifies the administrator of the change, and inserts an entry in the upgrade logs. If the administrator specified new (non-default) values for the CAS Fallback feature settings, then the upgrade script recommends that the admin user modify the CAS Fallback settings manually to maintain expected behavior.
Workaround
Modify the CAS Fallback settings by going to the Device Management > CCA Servers > Manage [CAS_IP] > Filter > Fallback web console page on the CAM.
Note
The CAS Fallback default settings for Cisco NAC Appliance releases prior to 4.1(8) are:
–
Fallback Policy: Ignore
–
Detect Interval: 60 seconds
–
Detect Timeout: 300 seconds
The new CAS Fallback default settings with 4.1(8) are:
–
Fallback Policy: Ignore
–
Detect Interval: 20 seconds
–
Detect Timeout: 300 seconds
–
Fail Percentage: 30%

Known Issue with Mass DHCP Address Deletion
An issue exists in release 4.1(8) where a Clean Access Server configured to be a DHCP server can become unmanageable if the administrator attempts to delete more than 800 DHCP addresses from the appliance using the Clean Access Manager web console. If you have more than 800 DHCP addresses, Cisco recommends deleting addresses in smaller blocks of no more than 800 addresses at a time.
In addition to ensuring you do not delete more than 800 DHCP addresses at a time, there are two methods to work around this potential issue.
Workaround 1
The DHCP IP delete can be done manually by connecting to the CLI and executing the following commands:
service perfigo stoprm -f /var/state/dhcp/dhcpd.leasestouch /var/state/dhcp/dhcpd.leasesservice perfigo startIf on an HA system, Cisco strongly recommends taking the CASs offline and performing the commands on both machines simultaneously, taking particular care to issue the service perfigo start on the two appliances at roughly the same time.
Workaround 2
If you experience this problem more than once, Cisco recommends changing the Clean Access Manager timeout value by editing the /perfigo/control/bin/starttomcat file and adding "-DRMI_READ_TIME_OUT=<new value>" to the end of the CATALINA_OPTS options string. (The current default value is 60 seconds, and Cisco does not recommend increasing the timeout value to any more than 300 seconds.) Please note that increasing the read time out value can likely lower the resiliency of WAN deployments, thus reversing the CAM/CAS connectivity improvements introduced when Cisco addressed caveat CSCsw20607.
Note
In release 4.1(8), the CAM only allows 60 seconds for a response on remote calls to the CAS. This impacts deleting hundreds of DHCP IPs at once, particularly on slower CAS hardware platforms. Cisco recommends that you do not delete any more than 3 class C address segments at once.
For more information, see CSCsx35438.
Known Issues with HP ProLiant DL140 G3 Servers
The NAC-3310 appliance is based on the HP ProLiant DL140 G3 server and is subject to any BIOS/firmware upgrades required for the DL140 G3. Refer to Supported Hardware and System Requirements for Cisco NAC Appliance (Cisco Clean Access) for detailed instructions.
Known Issue with NAC-3310 CD Installation
The NAC-3310 appliance (MANAGER and SERVER) requires you to enter the DL140 or serial_DL140 installation directive at the "boot:" prompt when you install new system software from a CD-ROM.
When following the CD-ROM system software installation procedures outlined in Chapter 2: "Installing the Clean Access Manager" of the Cisco NAC Appliance - Clean Access Manager Installation and Configuration Guide, Release 4.1(8) and Chapter 4: "Installing the Clean Access Server NAC Appliance" of the Cisco NAC Appliance - Clean Access Server Installation and Configuration Guide, Release 4.1(8), users installing release 4.1(8) on a NAC-3310 appliance (both MANAGER and SERVER) from a CD-ROM are presented with the following prompt during the installation process:
Cisco Clean Access Installer (C) 2008 Cisco Systems, Inc.Welcome to the Cisco Clean Access Installer!- To install a Cisco Clean Access device, press the <ENTER> key.- To install a Cisco Clean Access device over a serial console, enter serial at the boot prompt and press the <ENTER> key.boot:The standard procedure asks you to press "Enter" or, if installing via serial console connection, enter serial at the "boot:" prompt, For release 4.1(8), however, NAC-3310 customers are required enter one of the following, instead:
•
DL140—if you are directly connected (monitor, keyboard, and mouse) to the NAC-3310
•
serial_DL140—if you are installing the software via serial console connection
After you enter either of these commands, the Package Group Selection screen appears where you can then specify whether you are setting up a Clean Access Manager or Clean Access Server and install the system software following the standard installation process.
Known Issues with NAC-3300 Series Appliances and Serial HA (Failover) Connection
When connecting high availability (failover) pairs via serial cable, BIOS redirection to the serial port must be disabled for NAC-3300 series appliances and any other server hardware platform that supports the BIOS redirection to serial port functionality. See Supported Hardware and System Requirements for Cisco NAC Appliance (Cisco Clean Access) for more information.
Known Issues with Switches
For complete details, see Switch Support for Cisco NAC Appliance.
Known Issue with Cisco 2200/4400 Wireless LAN Controllers (Airespace WLCs)
Due to changes in DHCP server operation with Cisco NAC Appliance release 4.0(2) and later, networks with Cisco 2200/4400 Wireless LAN Controllers (also known as Airespace WLCs) which relay requests to the Clean Access Server (operating as a DHCP server) may have issues. Client machines may be unable to obtain DHCP addresses. Refer to the "Cisco 2200/4400 Wireless LAN Controllers (Airespace WLCs) and DHCP" section of Switch Support for Cisco NAC Appliance for detailed instructions.
Note
For further details on configuring DHCP options, refer to the applicable version of the Cisco NAC Appliance - Clean Access Server Installation and Configuration Guide.
Known Issues with Broadcom NIC 5702/5703/5704 Chipsets
Customers running Cisco NAC Appliance release 4.1(8) on servers with 5702/5703/5704 Broadcom NIC cards may be impacted by caveat CSCsd74376. Server models with Broadcom 5702/5703/5704 NIC cards may include: Dell PowerEdge 850, CCA-3140-H1, HP ProLiant DL140 G2/ DL360/DL380. This issue involves the repeated resetting of the Broadcom NIC cards. The NIC cards do not recover from some of the resets causing the machine to become unreachable via the network.
For details, see the Supported Hardware and System Requirements for Cisco NAC Appliance (Cisco Clean Access).
Known Issue for Windows Vista and IP Refresh/Renew
When logged in as a machine admin on Windows Vista and using web login with IP refresh configured, IP address refresh/renew via ActiveX or Java will fail due to the fact that Internet EXplorer does not run as an elevated application and Vista requires elevated privileges to release and renew an IP address.
Workaround
In order to use the IP refresh feature, you will need to:
1.
Log into the Windows Vista client as an administrator.
2.
Create a shortcut for IE on your desktop.
3.
Launch it by right-clicking the shortcut and running it as administrator. This will allow the application to complete the IP Refresh/Renew. Otherwise, the user will need to do it manually via Command Prompt running as administrator. This is a limitation of the Windows Vista OS.
See also CSCsm61077.
Known Issues for Windows Vista and Agent Stub
Use "No UI" or "Reduced UI" Installation Option
When installing the 4.1.3.0 or later Clean Access Agent via stub installation on Windows Vista machines only, Cisco recommends not to use the Full UI Stub Installation Option. To avoid the appearance of 5-minute installation dialog delays caused by the Vista Interactive Service Detection Service, Cisco recommends using the No UI or Reduced UI option when configuring Stub Installation Options for Windows Vista client machines.
"Interactive Services Dialog Detection" and Uninstall
When non-admin users install/uninstall the Clean Access Agent through the Agent Stub service on Windows Vista, they will see an "Interactive Services Dialog Detection" dialog. If the user is installing, no input is required in the dialog session—it will automatically disappear. If the client machine is fast, the user may not even see the dialog appear at all, so the resulting behavior is as if the Agent gets silently installed after a few seconds. When uninstalling, however, the uninstall process does not complete until the user responds to a prompt inside the dialog.
This is expected behavior because, unlike earlier Windows operating systems, Windows Vista services run in an isolated session (session 0) from user sessions, and thus do not have access to video drivers. As a workaround for interactive services like the Agent Stub installer, Windows Vista uses an Interactive Service Detection Service to prompt users for user input for interactive services and enable access to dialogs created by interactive services. The "Interactive Service Detection Service" will automatically launch by default and, in most cases, users are not required to do anything. However, if the service is disabled for some reason, Agent installation by non-admin users will not function.
Known Issues with MSI Agent Installer
MSI File Name
The MSI installation package for each version of the full Windows Clean Access Agent (CCAAgent-<version>.msi) is available for download from the Cisco Software Download site at http://www.cisco.com/pcgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/cca-agent
When downloading the Clean Access Agent MSI file from the Cisco Software Download site, you MUST rename the "CCAAgent-<version>.msi" file to "CCAAgent.msi" before installing it.
Renaming the file to "CCAAgent.msi" ensures that the install package can remove the previous version then install the latest version when upgrading the Agent on clients.
Minor Version Updates
You cannot upgrade minor version (4th digit) updates of the Clean Access Agent from the MSI package directly. You must uninstall the program from Add/Remove programs first before installing the new version. Refer to CSCsm20655 for details.
See also Troubleshooting for additional Agent- related information.
Known Issue with Windows 2000 Clean Access Agent/Local DB Authentication
When a user logs in via the Clean Access Agent on a Windows 2000 machine with a username/password linked to the "Local DB" provider and must validate a requirement (in a test environment, for example), the Agent returns a "The application experienced an internal error loading the SSL libraries (12157)" error message. Following the error message, the Agent remains in the login state even though it is not actually logged in and the user must either stop the process or restart the client machine for the Agent login dialog to re-appear. (Requirements are not validated and the CAM does not create an Agent report for the Windows 2000 session, so it can be difficult to determine which requirement fails.)
Known Issue with Windows 98/ME/2000 and Windows Script 5.6
Windows Script 5.6 is required for proper functioning of the Clean Access Agent in release 3.6(x) and later. Most Windows 2000 and older operating systems come with Windows Script 5.1 components. Microsoft automatically installs the new 5.6 component on performing Windows updates. Windows installer components 2.0 and 3.0 also require Windows Script 5.6. However, PC machines with a fresh install of Windows 98, ME, or 2000 that have never performed Windows updates will not have the Windows Script 5.6 component. Cisco Clean Access cannot redistribute this component as it is not provided by Microsoft as a merge module/redistributable.
In this case, administrators will have to access the MSDN website to get this component and upgrade to Windows Script 5.6. For convenience, links to the component from MSDN are listed below:
Win 98, ME, NT 4.0:
Filename: scr56en.exe
Win 2000, XP:
Filename: scripten.exe
Tip
If these links change on MSDN, try a search for the file names provided above or search for the phrase "Windows Script 5.6."
New Installation of Release 4.1(8)
If you are performing a new CD software installation of Cisco NAC Appliance on the Cisco NAC Appliance 3300 Series server hardware platform, use the steps described below.
If re-imaging a Cisco NAC Network Module, refer to the instructions in the Getting Started with Cisco NAC Network Modules in Cisco Access Routers.
If performing upgrade on an existing NAC Appliance or NAC Network Module, refer to the instructions in Upgrading to 4.1(8).
Warning
New installations of Cisco NAC Appliance release 4.1(8) no longer contain any default third-party Trusted Certificate Authorities. Therefore, after a new installation of release 4.1(8) you must obtain and import Trusted Certificate Authorities before deploying Cisco NAC Appliance in a production environment.
For New Installation:
1.
If you are going to perform a new installation but are running a previous version of Cisco Clean Access and want to preserve existing settings and/or database information, back up your current Clean Access Manager installation and save the snapshot on your local computer, as described in General Preparation for Upgrade.
2.
Follow the instructions on your welcome letter to obtain a license file for your installation. See Cisco NAC Appliance Service Contract/Licensing Support for details. (If you are evaluating Cisco Clean Access, visit http://www.cisco.com/go/license/public to obtain an evaluation license.)

Install the latest version of 4.1(8) on each Clean Access Server and Clean Access Manager, as follows:
a.
Log in to the Cisco NAC Appliance Software Download Site. You will likely be required to provide your CCO credentials.
b.
Navigate to the Cisco NAC Appliance 4.1.8 subdirectory, download the latest 4.1(8) .ISO image, and burn the image as a bootable disk to a CD-R.
c.
Insert the CD into the CD-ROM drive of each installation server, and follow the instructions in the auto-run installer.
4.
After software installation, access the Clean Access Manager web admin console by opening a web browser and typing the IP address of the CAM as the URL. The Clean Access Manager License Form will appear the first time you do this to prompt you to install your FlexLM license files.
5.
Install a valid FlexLM license file for the Clean Access Manager (either evaluation, starter kit, or individual license). You should have already acquired license files as described in Cisco NAC Appliance Service Contract/Licensing Support.
Note
If you plan to import database information from a backup snapshot after installing your new Clean Access Manager, Cisco recommends you add any new licenses to your system before creating and saving a system snapshot. If you install new licenses and then import a previously saved snapshot, any new licenses you have installed are overwritten by the license information contained in the system snapshot.
6.
At the admin login prompt, login with the default user name and password admin/cisco123 or with the web console username and password you configured when you installed the Clean Access Manager.
7.
In the web console, navigate to Administration > CCA Manager > Licensing if you need to install any additional FlexLM license files for your Clean Access Servers.
8.
For detailed software installation steps and further steps for adding the Clean Access Server(s) to the Clean Access Manager and performing basic configuration, refer to the following guides:
–
Cisco NAC Appliance - Clean Access Manager Installation and Configuration Guide, Release 4.1(8)

This section provides instructions for how to upgrade your existing Cisco NAC Appliance system to release 4.1(8).
Refer to the following general information prior to upgrade:
•
Settings That May Change With Upgrade
•
General Preparation for Upgrade
Refer to one of the following sets of upgrade instructions for the upgrade you need to perform:
•
Upgrading to Release 4.1(8)—Standalone Machines
If you need to perform a fresh installation of the software, refer instead to New Installation of Release 4.1(8).
If you need to upgrade from a much older version of Cisco NAC Appliance, you may need to perform an interim upgrade to a version that is supported for upgrade to 4.1(8). In this case, refer to the applicable Release Notes for upgrade instructions for the interim release. Cisco recommends always testing new releases on a different system first before upgrading your production system.
Notes on 4.1(8) Upgrade
If planning to upgrade to Cisco NAC Appliance release 4.1(8) ED, note the following:
•
For new installations of Cisco NAC Appliance Release 4.1(8), the CAS Fallback behavior enhancement introduces new default values for the Detect Interval and Detect Timeout settings (10 and 300 seconds, respectively) and requires that the Detect Timeout value be at least 20 times the specified Detect Interval. If you are upgrading to release 4.1(8), however, your existing values for these settings are preserved and you must specify new values for these settings to take advantage of the enhanced CAS Fallback capabilities available in release 4.1(8). For more information, see CAS Fallback Behavior Enhancement.
•
New installations of Cisco NAC Appliance release 4.1(8) no longer contain any default third-party Trusted Certificate Authorities. However, with upgrades to release 4.1(8), Cisco NAC Appliance preserves the CAM/CAS trusted certificate store to ensure all existing trusted end-entity certificates remain on that CAM/CAS after upgrade.
•
Starting from release 4.1(6), Cisco strongly recommends obtaining dual-purpose CA-signed certificates for your production CAMs/CASs to enable them to act as both SSL clients and SSL servers.
•
When upgrading to release 4.1(8) from a prior Cisco NAC Appliance release, Cisco strongly recommends that you remove any certificates issued by the "www.perfigo.com" Certificate Authority from all client machines in your production deployment after you have imported CA-signed certificates. There is a potential risk for any web browser client where the user has accepted a certificate issued by the "www.perfigo.com" Certificate Authority on their machine.
Warning
If your previous deployment uses a chain of SSL certificates that is incomplete, incorrect, or out of order, CAM/CAS communication may fail after upgrade to release 4.1(8). You must correct your certificate chain to successfully upgrade to release 4.1(8). For details on how to fix certificate errors on the CAM/CAS after upgrade to release 4.1(8), refer to the How to Fix Certificate Errors on the CAM/CAS After Upgrade Troubleshooting Tech Note.
Certificate chains can only be 10 certificates long (including intermediate and root certificates) in Cisco NAC Appliance Release 4.1(8).
•
Due to Java version dependencies in the system software, Cisco Clean Access only supports 1024- and 2048-bit RSA key lengths for SSL certificates.
•
If you are upgrading the CAS to release 4.1(8) via the CAM web console where the CAM's available memory is less than 1GB, you may see an HTTP status 500 error message reading "java.lang.OutofMemoryError."
Note
This potential issue is only a problem in non-Cisco hardware platforms with less than 1GB of memory installed (i.e. Dell 750, 850, or 860 platforms).
•
Clean Access Servers connected to a CAM can periodically appear as "deleted" or "unauthorized" in the CAM event logs even though the CAS is functioning properly and has not experienced any connection issues with the Clean Access Manager. See caveat CSCsr52953 for more details.
•
Only releases 4.1(8), 4.1(6), 4.1(3)+, 4.1(2)+, and 4.1(1)+ can be installed on Cisco NAC Appliance 3300 Series platforms.
•
You can upgrade your Cisco NAC Network Module(s) from release 4.1(2) and later to release 4.1(8) via web upgrade, just like any other Clean Access Server. If upgrading to release 4.1(8), you must also upgrade all other CAM/CAS appliances on your network.
Note
Cisco NAC Network Module is supported starting from release 4.1(2) and later only.
•
Cisco NAC Appliance release 4.1(8) ED is a major software release with Early Deployment status.
•
Cisco recommends using the console/SSH upgrade procedure to upgrade appliance hardware from release 3.6(x), 4.0(x), or 4.1(0)+, 4.1(2)+, 4.1(3)+, 4.1(6) to release 4.1(8). See Console/SSH Upgrade—Standalone Machines.
•
When upgrading from 3.6(x)/4.0(x) to the latest 4.1(x) release:
–
You can only perform web console upgrade on standalone non-HA CAM machines if they have already been patched for caveat CSCsg24153.
–
If the system has not already been patched, upgrade all your machines via console/SSH.
–
Standalone CAS machines must still be upgraded using the console/SSH upgrade procedure.
For further details on Patch-CSCsg24153, refer to the README-CSCsg24153 file under http://www.cisco.com/pcgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/cca-patches and the associated Resolved Caveats table entry in the Release Notes for Cisco NAC Appliance (Cisco Clean Access), Version 4.1(0).
Warning
Web upgrade is NOT supported for software upgrade of CAM HA pairs. Upgrade of high availability Clean Access Manager pairs must always be performed via console as described in Console/SSH Instructions for Upgrading CAM and CAS HA Pairs.
•
If you have existing users, test the ED release in your lab environment first and complete a pilot phase prior to production deployment.
Note
Your production license will reference the MAC address of your production CAM. When testing on a different machine before upgrading your production Cisco NAC Appliance environment, you will need to get a trial license for your test servers. For details, refer to Cisco NAC Appliance Service Contract/Licensing Support.
Caution"In-place" upgrade from version 3.5(11) to 4.1(8) is not supported. Customers wishing to upgrade a system from 3.5(11) to 4.1(8) must use the supported in-place upgrade procedure to upgrade from 3.5(11) to 4.0(6), and then upgrade to release 4.1(8) via the instructions in Upgrading to Release 4.1(8)—Standalone Machines or Upgrading to 4.1(8)—HA Pairs. Refer to the "In-Place Upgrade from 3.5(7)+ to 4.0(x)—Standalone Machines" or "In-Place Upgrade from 3.5(7)+ to 4.0(x)—HA-Pairs" in the Release Notes for Cisco NAC Appliance (Cisco Clean Access), Version 4.0(6) for details.
Settings That May Change With Upgrade
Refer to Notes on 4.1(8) Upgrade for additional information.
•
If you upgrade the CAS to release 4.1(8) and are using CAS Fallback with the old default settings, the upgrade script modifies those Detect Interval and Detect Timeout settings to the new default values, notifies the administrator of the change, and inserts an entry in the upgrade logs. If the administrator specified new (non-default) values for the CAS Fallback feature settings, then the upgrade script recommends that the admin user modify the CAS Fallback settings manually to maintain expected behavior.
•
AD SSO and L3 OOB Real-IP Gateway Deployments: Starting from release 4.1(3), L3 OOB Real-IP Gateway deployments using AD SSO require the CAS SSL certificate to be generated using the untrusted IP address. If the certificate is generated with the CAS trusted IP address, AD SSO will fail after upgrade to 4.1(8). You will need to regenerate the certificate. If using FQDN-based certificates, simply change the DNS entry to point to the CAS untrusted interface. This allows the Agent to send traffic to port 8910 on the untrusted interface.
•
5702/5703/5704 Broadcom NIC chipsets: If your system uses 5702/5703/5704 Broadcom NIC chipsets, and you are upgrading from 4.1(2)+, 4.1(1)+, 4.1(0)+, 4.0(x), or 3.6(x), or 3.5(x), you will need to perform a firmware upgrade from HP. See Known Issues with Broadcom NIC 5702/5703/5704 Chipsets for details.
•
Cisco 2200/4400 Wireless LAN Controllers (Airespace WLCs): If using the CAS as a DHCP server in conjunction with Airespace WLCs, you may need to configure DHCP options as described in Known Issue with Cisco 2200/4400 Wireless LAN Controllers (Airespace WLCs).
•
OOB Deployments: Because Cisco NAC Appliance can control switch trunk ports for OOB (starting from release 3.6(1) +), please ensure the uplink ports for controlled switches are configured as "uncontrolled" ports either before or after upgrade.
Note
For additional OOB troubleshooting, see Switch Support for Cisco NAC Appliance.
•
DHCP Options: When upgrading from 3.5/3.6 to 4.1(8), any existing DHCP options on the CAS are not retained. Administrators must re-enter any previously configured DHCP options using the newly-enhanced Global Options page.
•
SNMP Settings: When upgrading from 3.5 to 4.1(8), any existing SNMP traps configured on the CAM are not retained. Administrators must re-enter any previously configured SNMP settings using the SNMP page.
General Preparation for Upgrade
CautionPlease review this section carefully before commencing any Cisco NAC Appliance upgrade.
•
Homogenous Clean Access Server Software Support
You must upgrade your Clean Access Manager and all your Clean Access Servers (including NAC Network Modules) concurrently. The Cisco NAC Appliance architecture is not designed for heterogeneous support (i.e., some Clean Access Servers running 4.1(8) software and some running 4.1.(6) or 4.1(3) software).
•
Upgrade Downtime Window
Depending on the number of Clean Access Servers you have, the upgrade process should be scheduled as downtime. For minor release upgrades (e.g. 4.1(8) to 4.1.8.x), our estimates suggest that it takes approximately 10 to 20 minutes for the Clean Access Manager upgrade and 10 minutes for each Clean Access Server upgrade. Use this approximation to estimate your downtime window.
•
Upgrade Clean Access Servers Before Clean Access Manager
Starting with Cisco NAC Appliance release 4.1(6), the Clean Access Manager and Clean Access Server require encrypted communication. Therefore, you must upgrade CASs before the CAM that manages them to ensure the CASs have the same (upgraded) release when the CAM comes back online and attempts to reconnect to the managed CASs.
If you upgrade the Clean Access Manager by itself, the Clean Access Server (which loses connectivity to the CAM during Clean Access Manager restart or reboot) continues to pass authenticated user traffic only if the CAS Fallback Policy specifies that Cisco NAC Appliance should "ignore" traffic from client machines.
CautionNew users will not be able to log in or authenticate with Cisco NAC Appliance until the Clean Access Server reestablishes connectivity with the Clean Access Manager.
•
High Availability (Failover) Via Serial Cable Connection
When connecting high availability (failover) pairs via serial cable, BIOS redirection to the serial port must be disabled for NAC-3300 series appliances, and for any other server hardware platform that supports the BIOS redirection to serial port functionality. See Supported Hardware and System Requirements for Cisco NAC Appliance (Cisco Clean Access) for more information.
•
Database Backup (Before and After Upgrade)
For additional safekeeping, Cisco recommends manually backing up your current Clean Access Manager installation (using Administration > Backup) both before and after the upgrade and to save the snapshot on your local computer. Backing up prior to upgrade enables you to revert to your previous release database should you encounter problems during upgrade. Backing up immediately following upgrade preserves your upgraded tables and provides a baseline of your 4.1(8) database. After the migration is completed, go to the database backup page (Administration > Backup) in the CAM web console. Download and then delete all earlier snapshots from there as they are no longer compatible. See Create CAM DB Backup Snapshot for details.
Warning
You cannot restore a CAM database from a snapshot created using a different release. For example, you cannot restore a 4.1(6) or earlier database snapshot to a 4.1(8) CAM.
•
Software Downgrade
Once you have upgraded your software to 4.1(8), if you wish to revert to your previous release of Cisco NAC Appliance, you will need to reinstall the previous release from the CD and recover your configuration based on the backup you performed prior to upgrading to 4.1(8).
•
Passwords
For upgrade via console/SSH, you will need your CAM and CAS root user password (default CAM root password is cisco123). For web console upgrade, you will need your CAM web console admin user password (and, if applicable, CAS direct access console admin user password).
Upgrading to Release 4.1(8)—Standalone Machines
Note
"In-place" upgrade from version 3.5(x) to 4.1(8) is not supported. Customers wishing to upgrade a system from 3.5(11) to 4.1(8) must use the supported in-place upgrade procedure to upgrade from 3.5(11) to 4.0(6), and then upgrade to 4.1(8). Refer to the "In-Place Upgrade from 3.5(7)+ to 4.0(x)—Standalone Machines" in the Release Notes for Cisco NAC Appliance (Cisco Clean Access), Version 4.0(6) for details.
This section describes the upgrade procedure for upgrading your standalone CAM/CAS machine to the latest 4.1(8) release. You can upgrade 3.6(x)/4.0(x)/4.1(0)+/4.1(1)+/4.1(2)+/4.1(3)+/4.1(6) standalone machines to the latest 4.1(8) release using one of the following two methods:
•
Web Console Upgrade—Standalone Machines
•
Console/SSH Upgrade—Standalone Machines
Note
•
If upgrading high-availability (HA) pairs of CAM or CAS appliances, refer instead to Upgrading to 4.1(8)—HA Pairs.
Note
Review the following sections before proceeding with the upgrade instructions:

General Preparation for Upgrade
Summary Steps for Web Upgrade to 4.1(8)
The sequence of steps for upgrading a standalone appliance to release 4.1(8) is as follows:
1.
Create CAM DB Backup Snapshot
3.
Perform Web Console Upgrade—Standalone Machines or Console/SSH Upgrade—Standalone Machines, depending on your installation
Create CAM DB Backup Snapshot
Cisco recommends creating a manual backup snapshot of your CAM database. Backing up prior to upgrade enables you to revert to your previous database should you encounter problems during upgrade. Backing up immediately following upgrade preserves your upgraded tables and provides a baseline of your database. Make sure to download the snapshots to another machine for safekeeping.
Note that Cisco NAC Appliance automatically creates daily snapshots of the CAM database and preserves the most recent from the last 30 days (starting from release 3.5(3)). It also automatically creates snapshots before and after software upgrades and failover events. For upgrades and failovers, only the last 5 backup snapshots are kept. (For further details, see "Database Recovery Tool" in the Cisco NAC Appliance - Clean Access Manager Installation and Configuration Guide, Release 4.1(8).
Note
Only the CAM snapshot needs to be backed up. The snapshot contains all CAM database configuration and CAS configuration for all the Clean Access Servers added to the CAM's domain. The snapshot is a standard postgres data dump.
To create a manual backup snapshot:
Step 1
From the CAM web console, go to the Administration > Backup page.
Step 2
The Snapshot Tag Name field automatically populates with a name incorporating the current time and date (e.g. 06_20_08-09-36_snapshot). You can also either accept the default name or type another.
Step 3
Click Create Snapshot. The CAM generates a snapshot file and adds it to the snapshot list at the bottom of the page. The file physically resides on the CAM machine for archiving purposes. The Version field and the filename display the software version of the snapshot for convenience (e.g. 06_20_08-09-36_snapshot_VER_4_1_6.gz).
Step 4
For backup, download the snapshot to another computer by clicking the Tag Name or the Download button for the snapshot to be downloaded.
Step 5
In the file download dialog, select the Save File to Disk option to save the file to your local computer.
Download the Upgrade File
For Cisco NAC Appliance upgrades to release 4.1(8), a single .tar.gz upgrade file is downloaded to each Clean Access Manager (CAM) and Clean Access Server (CAS) machine to be upgraded. The upgrade script automatically determines whether the machine is a CAM or CAS. For Cisco NAC Appliance minor release or patch upgrades, the upgrade file can be for the CAM only, CAS only, or for both CAM/CAS, depending on the patch upgrade required.
Step 1
Log in to the Cisco NAC Appliance Software Download Site. You will likely be required to provide your CCO credentials.
Step 2
Navigate to the Cisco NAC Appliance 4.1.8 subdirectory, download the latest 4.1(8) upgrade file (e.g. cca_upgrade-<version>.tar.gz), and save it to the local computer from which you are accessing the CAM web console.
Note
Upgrade files use the following format.
•
cca_upgrade-4.1.8.x.tar.gz (CAM/CAS release upgrade file)
•
cam-upgrade-4.1.8.x.tar.gz (CAM-only patch upgrade file)
•
cas-upgrade-4.1.8.x.tar.gz (CAS-only patch upgrade file)
Major release upgrade file names do not feature the fourth (.x) digit. A major release file name example would be cca-upgrade-4.1.8.tar.gz. For patch upgrades, however, replace the .x in the file name with the minor release version number to which you are upgrading, for example, cca-upgrade-4.1.8.1.tar.gz.
Web Console Upgrade—Standalone Machines
Note
Cisco recommends using console/SSH to upgrade your machines to release 4.1(8). See Console/SSH Upgrade—Standalone Machines.
If you are upgrading the CAS to release 4.1(8) via the CAM web console where the CAM's available memory is less than 1GB, you may see an HTTP status 500 error message reading "java.lang.OutofMemoryError."
Note
This potential issue is only a problem in non-Cisco hardware platforms with less than 1GB of memory installed (i.e. Dell 750, 850, or 860 platforms).
When upgrading from 3.6(x)/4.0(x) to the latest 4.1(x) release:
•
You can only perform web console upgrade on standalone non-HA CAM machines if they have already been patched for caveat CSCsg24153.
•
If the system has not already been patched, upgrade all your machines via console/SSH.
•
Standalone CAS machines must still be upgraded using the console/SSH upgrade procedure.
For further details on Patch-CSCsg24153, refer to the README-CSCsg24153 file under http://www.cisco.com/pcgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/cca-patches and the associated Resolved Caveats table entry in the Release Notes for Cisco NAC Appliance (Cisco Clean Access), Version 4.1(0).
Warning
Web upgrade is NOT supported for software upgrade of CAM HA pairs. Upgrade of high availability Clean Access Manager pairs must always be performed via console as described in Console/SSH Instructions for Upgrading CAM and CAS HA Pairs.
With web upgrade, administrators can perform software upgrade on standalone CAS and CAM machines using the following web console interfaces:
•
To upgrade the CAM, go to: Administration > Clean Access Manager > System Upgrade
•
To upgrade the CAS go to either:
–
Device Management > CCA Servers > Manage [CAS_IP] > Misc (CAS management pages)
–
https://<CAS_eth0_IP_address>/admin (CAS direct web console)
For web console upgrade, you will need your CAM web console admin user password.
If using the CAS direct access web console, you will need your CAS direct access console admin user password.
Note
•
For web upgrade, upgrade each CAS first, then the CAM.
•
A prior release of Cisco NAC Appliance must be installed and running on your CAM/CAS(es) before you can upgrade to release 4.1(8) via web console.
•
Alternatively, you can always upgrade using the instructions in Console/SSH Upgrade—Standalone Machines.
•
If upgrading failover pairs, refer to Upgrading to 4.1(8)—HA Pairs.
With web upgrade, the CAM and CAS automatically perform all the upgrade tasks that are done manually for console/SSH upgrade (for example, untar file, cd to /store, run upgrade script). The CAM also automatically creates snapshots before and after upgrade. When upgrading via web console only, the machine automatically reboots after the upgrade completes. The steps for web upgrade are as follows:
1.
Upgrade CAS from CAS Management Pages, or
2.
Upgrade CAS from CAS Direct Access Web Console, and
3.
Upgrade CAM from CAM Web Console
Upgrade CAS from CAS Management Pages
You can upgrade your CAS to release 4.1(8) using web upgrade via the CAS management pages as described below or, if preferred, using the instructions for Upgrade CAS from CAS Direct Access Web Console.

Console/SSH Upgrade—Standalone Machines
This section describes the standard console/SSH upgrade procedure when upgrading your standalone CAM/CAS to the latest 4.1(8) release. For this procedure, you need to access the command line of the CAM or CAS machine using one of the following methods:
•
SSH connection
•
Direct console connection using KVM or keyboard/monitor connected directly to the machine
•
Serial console connection (e.g. HyperTerminal or SecureCRT) from an external workstation connected to the machine via serial cable
Note
•
If upgrading high-availability (HA) pairs of CAM or CAS appliances, refer instead to Upgrading to 4.1(8)—HA Pairs.
•
"In-place" upgrade from version 3.5(x) to 4.1(8) is not supported. Customers wishing to upgrade a system from 3.5(11) to 4.1(8) must use the supported in-place upgrade procedure to upgrade from 3.5(11) to 4.0(6), and then upgrade to 4.1(8). Refer to the "In-Place Upgrade from 3.5(7)+ to 4.0(x)—Standalone Machines" in the Release Notes for Cisco NAC Appliance (Cisco Clean Access), Version 4.0(6) for details.
For upgrade via console/SSH, you will need your CAM and CAS root user password.
Note
The default username/password for console/SSH login on the CAM/CAS is root / cisco123.
A single upgrade .tar.gz file is downloaded to each installation machine. The upgrade script automatically determines whether the machine is a Clean Access Manager (CAM) or Clean Access Server (CAS), and executes if the current system is running release 3.6(0) or later.
For patch upgrades, the upgrade file can be for the CAM only, CAS only, or for both CAM/CAS, depending on the patch upgrade required.

"In-place" upgrade from version 3.5(x) to 4.1(8) is not supported. Customers wishing to upgrade a system from 3.5(11) to 4.1(8) must use the supported in-place upgrade procedure to upgrade from 3.5(11) to 4.0(6), and then upgrade to 4.1(8). Refer to the "In-Place Upgrade from 3.5(7)+ to 4.0(x)—HA-Pairs" in the Release Notes for Cisco NAC Appliance (Cisco Clean Access), Version 4.0(6) for details.
This section describes the upgrade procedure for upgrading high-availability (HA) pairs of CAM or CAS servers to the latest 4.1(8) release.
If you have standalone CAM/CAS servers, refer instead to Upgrading to Release 4.1(8)—Standalone Machines.
Note
Your system must be running a previous Cisco NAC Appliance release to use the upgrade procedure described in this section.
Warning
If you are using serial connection for HA, do not attempt to connect serially to the CAS during the upgrade procedure. When serial connection is used for HA, serial console/login will be disabled and serial connection cannot be used for installation/upgrade.
If you are using serial connection for HA, BIOS redirection to the serial port must be disabled for NAC-3300 series appliances, and for any other server hardware platform that supports the BIOS redirection to serial port functionality. See Supported Hardware and System Requirements for Cisco NAC Appliance (Cisco Clean Access) for more information.
Warning
Web upgrade is NOT supported for software upgrade of CAM HA pairs. Upgrade of high availability Clean Access Manager pairs must always be performed via console as described in Console/SSH Instructions for Upgrading CAM and CAS HA Pairs.
Note
Review the following before proceeding with the 4.1(8) HA upgrade instructions:
•
Settings That May Change With Upgrade
•
General Preparation for Upgrade
Steps for HA + Upgrade to 4.1(8)
The steps to upgrade HA systems are described in the following sections:
•
Access Web Consoles for High Availability
•
Console/SSH Instructions for Upgrading CAM and CAS HA Pairs
Note
For additional details on CAS HA requirements, see also Supported Hardware and System Requirements for Cisco NAC Appliance (Cisco Clean Access).
Access Web Consoles for High Availability
If you are upgrading the CAS to release 4.1(8) via the CAM web console where the CAM's available memory is less than 1GB, you may see an HTTP status 500 error message reading "java.lang.OutofMemoryError."
Note
This potential issue is only a problem in non-Cisco hardware platforms with less than 1GB of memory installed (i.e. Dell 750, 850, or 860 platforms).
Determining Active and Standby CAM
Access the web console for each CAM in the HA pair by typing the IP address of each individual CAM (not the Service IP) in the URL/Address field of a web browser. You should have two browsers open. The web console for the Standby (inactive) CAM will only display the Administration module menu.
Note
The CAM configured as HA-Primary may not be the currently Active CAM.
Determining Primary and Secondary CAM
In each CAM web console, go to Administration > CCA Manager > Network & Failover | High Availability Mode.
•
The Primary CAM is the CAM you configured as the HA-Primary when you initially set up HA.
•
The Secondary CAM is the CAM you configured as the HA-Secondary when you initially set up HA.
Note
For releases prior to 4.0(0), the Secondary CAM is labeled as HA-Standby (CAM) for the initial HA configuration.
Determining Active and Standby CAS
From the CAM web console, go to Device Management > CCA Servers > List of Servers to view your CAS HA pairs. The List of Servers page displays the Service IP of the CAS pair first, followed by the IP address of the Active CAS in brackets. When a secondary CAS takes over, its IP address will be listed in the brackets as the Active server.
Note
The CAS configured in HA-Primary-Mode may not be the currently Active CAS.
Determining Primary and Secondary CAS
Open the direct access console for each CAS in the pair by typing the following in the URL/Address field of a web browser (you should have two browsers open):
•
For the Primary CAS, type: https://<primary_CAS_eth0_IP_address>/admin. For example, https://172.16.1.2/admin.
•
For the Secondary CAS, type: https://<secondary_CAS_eth0_IP_address>/admin. For example, https://172.16.1.3/admin.
In each CAS web console, go to Administration > Network Settings > Failover | Clean Access Server Mode.
•
The Primary CAS is the CAS you configured in HA-Primary-Mode when you initially set up HA.
•
The Secondary CAS is the CAS you configured in HA-Secondary-Mode when you initially set up HA.
Note
For releases prior to 4.0(0), the Secondary CAS is labelled as HA-Standby Mode (CAS) for the initial HA configuration.
Console/SSH Instructions for Upgrading CAM and CAS HA Pairs
The following steps show the recommended way to upgrade an existing high-availability (failover) pair of Clean Access Managers or Clean Access Servers.
Warning
Make sure to carefully execute the following procedure to prevent the database from getting out of sync.
Step 1
From either a console connection (keyboard/monitor/KVM) or via SSH, connect to the individual IP address of each appliance in the failover pair.
Note
Do not connect to the Service IP of the pair, as you will lose connection during the upgrade.
Step 2
Login as the root user with the root password (default is cisco123).
Warning
If you are using serial connection for HA, do not attempt to connect serially to the CAS during the upgrade procedure. When serial connection is used for HA, serial console/login will be disabled and serial connection cannot be used for installation/upgrade.
If you are using serial connection for HA, BIOS redirection to the serial port must be disabled for NAC-3300 series appliances, and for any other server hardware platform that supports the BIOS redirection to serial port functionality. See Supported Hardware and System Requirements for Cisco NAC Appliance (Cisco Clean Access) for more information.
Step 3
Verify that the upgrade package is present in the /store directory on each appliance. (Refer to Download the Upgrade File and Copy to CAM/CAS for instructions.)
Step 4
Determine which appliance is active, and which is in standby mode, and that both are operating normally, as follows:
a.
Untar the upgrade package in the /store directory of each appliance:
tar xzvf cca_upgrade-4.1.8.tar.gz
b.
CD into the "cca_upgrade-4.1.8" directory on each appliance:
cd cca_upgrade-4.1.8
c.
Run the following command on each appliance:
./fostate.sh
The results should be either "My node is active, peer node is standby" or "My node is standby, peer node is active". No nodes should be dead. This should be done on both appliances, and the results should be that one appliance considers itself active and the other box considers itself in standby mode. Future references in these instructions that specify "active" or "standby" refer to the results of this test as performed at this time.
Note
The fostate.sh command is part of the upgrade script (starting from 3.5(3)+). You can also determine which box is active or standby as follows:
•
Access the web console as described in Access Web Consoles for High Availability, or
•
SSH to the Service IP of the CAM/CAS pair, and type ifconfig eth0. The Service IP will always access the active CAM or CAS, with the other pair member acting as standby.
Step 5
Stop services on the standby appliance by entering the following command via the console/SSH terminal:
service perfigo stop
Wait until the standby appliance has suspended services.
Step 6
CD into the created "cca_upgrade-4.1.8" directory on the active appliance:
cd cca_upgrade-4.1.8
Step 7
Run the following command on the active appliance:
./fostate.sh
Make sure this returns "My node is active, peer node is dead" before continuing.
Step 8
Perform the upgrade on the active appliance, as follows:
a.
Make sure the upgrade package is untarred in the /store directory on the active appliance.
b.
From the untarred upgrade directory created on the active appliance (for example "cca_upgrade-4.1.8"), run the upgrade script on the active appliance:
./UPGRADE.sh
Note
If you are upgrading from release 4.0.0-4.0.3.2 or 3.6.0-3.6.4.2 and have not previously applied Patch-CSCsg24153 to the CAM, the upgrade script prompts you to enter and verify the shared secret. (Only the first eight characters of the shared secret are used.)
If you are performing this upgrade on the CAS, the upgrade script prompts you to enter the web console administrator password in addition to the shared secret. (As with the CAM, only the first eight characters of the shared secret are used.)
For more information on the nature and workaround for Patch-CSCsg24153, see the associated Resolved Caveats table entry in the Release Notes for Cisco NAC Appliance (Cisco Clean Access), Version 4.1(0).c.
If necessary, enter and verify the shared secret configured on the CAM, or enter and verify the shared secret and web console administrator password configured on the CAS.
Note
For CAM upgrade, the 4.1(8) upgrade script automatically upgrades the Clean Access Agent files inside the CAM to Windows version 4.1.10.0 and Mac OS X version 4.1.3.1.
Step 9
After the upgrade is completed, stop services on the active appliance by entering the following command via the console/SSH terminal:
service perfigo stop
Wait until the active appliance has suspended services.
Step 10
Restart services on the standby appliance by entering the following command via the console/SSH terminal:
service perfigo start
Step 11
Perform the upgrade to the standby appliance:
a.
Make sure the upgrade package is untarred in the /store directory on the standby appliance.
b.
CD into the untarred upgrade directory created on the standby appliance:
cd cca_upgrade-4.1.8
c.
Run the upgrade script on the standby appliance:
./UPGRADE.sh
Step 12
After the upgrade is completed, stop services on the standby appliance by entering the following command via the console/SSH terminal:
service perfigo stop
Step 13
Reboot the active appliance by entering the following command via the console/SSH terminal:
reboot
Wait until it is running normally and you are able to connect to the web console.
Step 14
Reboot the standby appliance by entering the following command via the console/SSH terminal:
reboot
Note
There will be approximately 2-5 minutes of downtime while the servers are rebooting.

Vista/IE 7 Certificate Revocation List
Note
In IE 7, the "Check for server certificate revocation (requires restart)" checkbox is enabled by default under IE's Tools > Internet Options > Advanced | Security settings
The "Network error: SSL certificate rev failed 12057" error can occur and prevent login for Clean Access Agent or Cisco NAC Web Agent users in either of the following cases:
1.
The client system is using Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 and/or Windows Vista operating system, and the certificate issued for the CAS is not properly configured with a CRL (Certificate Revocation List).
2.
A temporary SSL certificate is being used for the CAS (i.e. issued by www.perfigo.com) AND
–
The user has not imported this certificate to the trusted root store.
–
The user has not disabled the "Check for server certificate revocation (requires restart)" checkbox in IE.
To resolve the error, perform the following actions:
Step 1
(Preferred) When using a CA-signed CAS SSL certificate, check the "CRL Distribution Points" field of the certificate (including intermediate or root CA), and add the URL hosts to the allowed Host Policy of the Unauthenticated/Temporary/Quarantine Roles. This will allow the Agent to fetch the CRLs when logging in.
Step 2
Or, if continuing to use temporary certificates for the CAS (i.e. issued by www.perfigo.com), the user will need to perform ONE of the following actions:
a.
Import the certificate to the client system's trusted root store.
b.
Disable the "Check for server certificate revocation (requires restart)" checkbox under IE's Tools > Internet Options > Advanced | Security settings.
Windows Vista Agent Stub Installer Error
When initiating the Agent stub installer on the Windows Vista operating system, the user may encounter the following error message:
"Error 1722: There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor."
The possible cause is that there are remnants of a partial previous Agent stub installation present on the client machine stub. The user must take steps to remove the previous partial installation before attempting to run the Agent stub installer again.
To solve the problem:
Step 1
Disable the Windows Vista UAC and restart the computer.
Step 2
In a Command Prompt window, run C:\windows\system32\CCAAgentStub.exe install.
Step 3
Launch the Agent stub installer again and choose Remove.
Step 4
Enable the Windows Vista UAC and restart the computer.
Step 5
Run the stub installer again and it should install the Windows Vista Agent successfully.
Agent Stub Upgrade and Uninstall Error
To resolve the situation where a user receives an "Internal error 2753:ccaagentstub.exe" message during stub installation:
Step 1
Run C:\windows\system32\CCAAgentStub.exe install from a Command Prompt window.
Step 2
Launch the Clean Access Agent stub installer again and choose Remove.
Step 3
Manually delete "%systemroot%\system32\ccaagentstub.exe."
Note
Installing a previous version of stub is not recommended after uninstalling the later version.
Clean Access Agent AV/AS Rule Troubleshooting
When troubleshooting AV/AS Rules:
•
View administrator reports for the Clean Access Agent from Device Management > Clean Access > Clean Access Agent > Reports (see Cisco NAC Appliance Agents Versioning)
•
Or, to view information from the client, right-click the Agent taskbar icon and select Properties.
When troubleshooting AV/AS Rules, please provide the following information:
1.
Version of CAS, CAM, and Clean Access Agent (see Determining the Software Version).
2.
Version of client OS (e.g. Windows XP SP2).
3.
Version of Cisco Updates ruleset (see Cisco Clean Access Updates Versioning.
4.
Product name and version of AV/AS software from the Add/Remove Program dialog box.
5.
What is failing—AV/AS installation check or AV/AS update checks? What is the error message?
6.
What is the current value of the AV/AS def date/version on the failing client machine?
7.
What is the corresponding value of the AV/AS def date/version being checked for on the CAM? (See Device Management > Clean Access > Clean Access Agent > Rules > AV/AS Support Info.)
8.
If necessary, provide Agent debug logs as described in Debug Logging for Cisco NAC Appliance Agents.
9.
If necessary, provide CAM support logs as described in Creating CAM/CAS Support Logs.
Generating Windows Installer Log Files for Agent Stub
Users can compile the Windows Installer logs generated by the InstallShield application when the Windows Agent is installed on a client machine using the MSI or EXE installer packages.
MSI Installer
To compile the logs generated by a Windows Agent MSI installer session as the installation takes place, enter the following at a command prompt:
ccaagent.msi /log C:\ccainst.log
This function creates an installer session log file called "ccainst.txt" in the client machine's C:\ drive when the MSI Installer installs the Agent files on the client.
EXE Installer
You can use the Windows Installer /v CLI option to pass arguments to the msiexec installer within CCAAgent_Setup.exe by entering the following at a command prompt:
CCAAgent_Setup.exe /v"/L*v \"C:\ccainst.log\""
This command saves an installation session log file called "ccainst.log" in the client machine's C:\ drive when the embedded msiexec command installs the Agent files on the client.
For more information, refer to the Windows Installer CLI reference page.
Debug Logging for Cisco NAC Appliance Agents
This section describes how to view and/or enable debug logging for Cisco NAC Appliance Agents. Refer to the following sections for steps for each Agent type:
•
Generate Windows Agent Debug Log
•
Generate Mac OS X Agent Debug Log
Copy these event logs to include them in a customer support case.
Cisco NAC Web Agent Logs
The Cisco NAC Web Agent version 4.1.3.9 and later can generate logs when downloaded and executed. By default, the Cisco NAC Web Agent writes the log file upon startup with debugging turned on. The Cisco NAC Web Agent (see Cisco NAC Web Agent Enhancements) generates the following log files for troubleshooting purposes: webagent.log and webagentsetup.log. These files should be included in any TAC support case for the Web Agent. Typically, these files are located in the user's temp directory, in the form:
C:\Document and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Temp\webagent.log
C:\Document and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Temp\webagentsetup.log
If these files are not visible, check the TEMP environment variable setting. From a command-prompt, type "echo %TEMP%" or "cd %TEMP%".
When the client uses Microsoft Internet Explorer, the Cisco NAC Web Agent is downloaded to the C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Temporary internet files directory.
Generate Windows Agent Debug Log
For 4.1.x.x versions of the persistent Clean Access Agent (and 4.0.x.x/3.6.1.0+), you can enable debug logging on the Agent by adding a LogLevel registry value on the client with value "debug." For Windows Agents (see Cisco NAC Appliance Agents), the event log is created in the directory %APPDATA%\CiscoCAA, where %APPDATA% is the Windows environment variable.
Note
For most Windows operating systems, the Agent event log is found in <user home directory>\ Application Data\CiscoCAA\.
To view and/or change the Agent LogLevel setting:
Step 1
Exit the Clean Access Agent on the client by right-clicking the taskbar icon and selecting Exit.
Step 2
Edit the registry of the client by going to Start > Run and typing regedit in the Open: field of the Run dialog. The Registry Editor opens.
Step 3
In the Registry Editor, navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cisco\Clean Access Agent\
Note
For 3.6.0.0/3.6.0.1 and 3.5.10 and earlier, this is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Cisco\Clean Access Agent\
Step 4
If "LogLevel" is not already present in the directory, go to Edit > New > String Value and add a String to the Clean Access Agent Key called LogLevel.
Step 5
Right-click LogLevel and select Modify. The Edit String dialog appears.
Step 6
Type debug in the Value data field and click OK (this sets the value of the LogLevel string to "debug").
Step 7
Restart the Clean Access Agent by double-clicking the desktop shortcut.
Step 8
Re-login to the Clean Access Agent.
Step 9
When a requirement fails, click the Cancel button in the Clean Access Agent.
Step 10
Take the resulting "event.log" file from the home directory of the current user (e.g. C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\CiscoCAA\event.log) and send it to TAC customer support, for example:
a.
Open Start > Run.
b.
In the Open: field, enter %APPDATA%/CiscoCAA. The "event.log" file should already be there to view.
Step 11
When done, make sure to remove the newly added "LogLevel" string from the client registry by opening the Registry Editor, navigating to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cisco\Clean Access Agent\, right-clicking LogLevel, and selecting Delete.
Note
•
For 3.6.0.0/3.6.0.1 and 3.5.10 and earlier, the event.log file is located in the Agent installation directory (e.g. C:\Program Files\Cisco Systems\Clean Access Agent\).
•
For 3.5.0 and earlier, the Agent installation directory is C:\Program Files\Cisco\Clean Access\.
Generate Mac OS X Agent Debug Log
For Mac OS X Agents (see Mac OS X Clean Access Agent Enhancements), the Agent event.log file and preference.plist user preferences file are available under <username> > Library > Application Support > Cisco Systems > CCAAgent.app. To change or specify the LogLevel setting, however, you must access the global setting.plist file (which is different from the user-level preference.plist file).
Because Cisco does not recommend allowing individual users to change the LogLevel value on the client machine, you must be a superuser or root user to alter the global setting.plist system preferences file and specify a different Agent LogLevel.
Note
For versions prior to 4.1.3.0, debug logging for the Mac OS X Agent is enabled under <local drive ID> > Library > Application Support > Cisco Systems | CCAAgent.app > Show Package Contents > setting.plist.
To view and/or change the Agent LogLevel:
Step 1
Open the navigator pane and navigate to <local drive ID> > Applications.
Step 2
Highlight and right-click the CCAAgent.app icon to bring up the selection menu.
Step 3
Choose Show Package Contents > Resources.
Step 4
Choose setting.plist.
Step 5
If you want to change the current LogLevel setting using Mac Property Editor (for Mac OS 10.4 and later) or any standard text editor (for Mac OS X releases earlier than 10.4), find the current LogLevel Key and replace the exiting value with one of the following:
•
Info—Include only informational messages in the event log
•
Warn—Include informational and warning messages in the event log
•
Error—Include informational, warning, and error messages in the event log
•
Debug—Include all Agent messages (including informational, warning, and error) in the event log
Note
The Info and Warn entry types only feature a few messages pertaining to very specific Agent events. Therefore, you will probably only need either the Error or Debug Agent event log level when troubleshooting Agent connection issues.
Note
Because Apple, Inc. introduced a binary-format .plist implementation in Mac OS 10.4, the .plist file may not be editable by using a common text editor such as vi. If the .plist file is not editable (displayed as binary characters), you either need to use the Mac Property List Editor utility from the Mac OS X CD-ROM or acquire another similar tool to edit the setting.plist file.
Property List Editor is an application included in the Apple Developer Tools for editing .plist files. You can find it at <CD-ROM>/Developer/Applications/Utilities/Property List Editor.app.
If the setting.plist file is editable, you can use a standard text editor like vi to edit the LogLevel value in the file.
You must be the root user to edit the file.
Creating CAM DB Snapshot
See the instructions in Create CAM DB Backup Snapshot for details.
Creating CAM/CAS Support Logs
The Support Logs web console pages for the CAM and CAS allow administrators to combine a variety of system logs (such as information on open files, open handles, and packages) into one tarball that can be sent to TAC to be included in the support case. Administrators should Download the CAM and CAS support logs from the CAM and CAS web consoles respectively and include them with their customer support request, as follows:
•
CAM web console: Administration > CCA Manager > Support Logs
•
CAS direct access console (https://<CAS_eth0_IP_address>/admin): Monitoring > Support Logs
Note
•
CAS-specific support logs are obtained from the CAS direct console only.
•
For releases 3.6(0)/3.6(1) and 3.5(3)+, the support logs for the CAS are accessed from: Device Management > CCA Servers > Manage [CAS_IP] > Misc > Support Logs
•
For releases prior to 3.5(3), contact TAC for assistance on manually creating the support logs.
Recovering Root Password for CAM/CAS (Release 4.1.x/4.0.x/3.6.x)
Use the following procedure to recover the root password for a 4.1/4.0/3.6 CAM or CAS machine. The following password recovery instructions assume that you are connected to the CAM/CAS via a keyboard and monitor (i.e. console or KVM console, NOT a serial console)
1.
Power up the machine.
2.
When you see the boot loader screen with the "Press any key to enter the menu..." message, press any key.
3.
You will be at the GRUB menu with one item in the list "Cisco Clean Access (2.6.11-perfigo)." Press e to edit.
4.
You will see multiple choices as follows:
root (hd0,0)kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.11-perfigo ro root=LABEL=/ console=tty0 console=ttyS0,9600n8
Initrd /initrd-2.6.11-perfigo.img5.
Scroll to the second entry (line starting with "kernel...") and press e to edit the line.
6.
Delete the line console=ttyS0,9600n8, add the word single to the end of the line, then press Enter. The line should appear as follows:
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.11-perfigo ro root=LABEL=/ console=tty0 single
7.
Next, press b to boot the machine in single user mode. You should be presented with a root shell prompt after boot-up (note that you will not be prompted for password).
8.
At the prompt, type passwd, press Enter and follow the instructions.
9.
After the password is changed, type reboot to reboot the box.
No Web Login Redirect / CAS Cannot Establish Secure Connection to CAM
•
Clean Access Server is not properly configured, please report to your administrator
Clean Access Server is not properly configured, please report to your administrator
A login page must be added and present in the system in order for both web login and Clean Access Agent users to authenticate. If a default login page is not present, Clean Access Agent users will see the following error dialog when attempting login:
Clean Access Server is not properly configured, please report to your administratorTo resolve this issue, add a default login page on the CAM under Administration > User Pages > Login Page > Add.
Clean Access Server could not establish a secure connection to the Clean Access Manager at <IP/domain>
The following client connection errors can occur if the CAS does not trust the certificate of the CAM, or vice-versa:
•
No redirect after web login—users continue to see the login page after entering user credentials.
•
Agent users attempting login get the following error:
Clean Access Server could not establish a secure connection to the Clean Access Manager at <IPaddress or domain>These errors typically indicate one of the following certificate-related issues:
•
The time difference between the CAM and CAS is greater than 5 minutes
•
Invalid IP address
•
Invalid domain name
•
CAM is unreachable
To identify common issues:
1.
Check the CAM's certificate and verify it has not been generated with the IP address of the CAS
(under Administration > CCA Manager > SSL Certificate > Export CSR/Private Key/Certificate | Currently Installed Certificate | Details).2.
Check the time set on the CAM and CAS (under Administration > CCA Manager > System Time, and Device Management > CCA Servers > Manage [CAS_IP] > Misc > Time). The time set on the CAM and the CAS must be 5 minutes apart or less.
To resolve these issues:
1.
Set the time on the CAM and CAS correctly first.
2.
Regenerate the certificate on the CAS using the correct IP address or domain.
3.
Reboot the CAS.
4.
Regenerate the certificate on the CAM using the correct IP address or domain.
5.
Reboot the CAM.
