Release Notes for Cisco Security Manager 3.2.2


Revised: October 11, 2010

Note Do not use this version of Security Manager to manage ASA 8.3 devices. This version of Security Manager configures ASA 8.3 devices in downward-compatibility mode, meaning that the device configuration does not use the new features introduced in version 8.3. Because of the extensive changes introduced with version 8.3, it is not downwardly-compatible with older ASA releases. If you want to manage ASA 8.3 devices with Security Manager, you must upgrade to Security Manager 4.0.


Introduction


Note This document is to be used in conjunction with the documents listed in Related Documentation. The online versions of the user documentation are also occasionally updated after the initial release. As a result, the information contained in the User Guide for Cisco Security Manager 3.2.2 supersedes any information contained in the context-sensitive help included with the product. For more information about specific changes, please see Where To Go Next.


This document contains release note information for the following:

Cisco Security Manager 3.2.2 (Including Service Packs 1, 2, 3, and 4)

Cisco Security Manager (Security Manager) enables you to manage security policies on Cisco security devices. Security Manager supports integrated provisioning of firewall, VPN, and IPS services across IOS routers, PIX and ASA security appliances, and Catalyst 6500/7600 services modules (FWSM, VPNSM, VPN SPA, and ISDM-2). Security Manager also supports provisioning of many platform-specific settings, for example, interfaces, routing, identity, QoS, logging, and so on.

Security Manager efficiently manages a wide range of networks, from small networks consisting of a few devices to large networks with thousands of devices. Scalability is achieved through a rich feature set of device grouping capabilities and objects and policies that can be shared.

Security Manager supports multiple configuration views optimized around different task flows and use cases.

Auto Update Server 3.2.2

The Auto Update Server (AUS) is a tool for upgrading PIX security appliance software images, ASA software images, PIX Device Manager (PDM) images, Adaptive Security Device Manager (ASDM) images, and PIX security appliance and ASA configuration files. Security appliances with dynamic IP addresses that use the auto update feature connect to AUS periodically to upgrade device configuration files and to pass device and status information.

To manage the devices in Security Manager, you must provide the device identity and the AUS information when you add a device. Security Manager uses the device identity information to retrieve the device IP address from an AUS that can be reached.


Note Before using Cisco Security Manager 3.2.2, we recommend that you read this entire document. However, it is critical that you read the "Important Notes" section, the "Installation and Upgrade" section, and the Installation Guide for Cisco Security Manager 3.2.2 before installing or upgrading to Cisco Security Manager 3.2.2.


This release note document includes ID numbers and headlines for each known problem identified in the document and a description of each. This document also includes a list of resolved problems. If you accessed this document from Cisco.com, you can click any ID number, which takes you to the appropriate release note enclosure in the Bug Toolkit. The release note enclosure contains symptoms, conditions, and workaround information.

Installation Notes 

You can install Security Manager 3.2.2 server software directly, or you can upgrade the software on a server where either Security Manager 3.1, 3.1.1, 3.2, 3.2.1 is installed. In addition to reading these installation notes, we strongly recommend that you refer to the Installation Guide for Cisco Security Manager 3.2.2 for important information regarding server requirements, server configuration, and post-installation tasks.

Before you can successfully upgrade to Security Manager 3.2.2 from a prior version of Security Manager (versions 3.1, 3.1.1, 3.2, or 3.2.1 only), you must make sure that the Security Manager database does not contain any pending data, in other words, data that has not been committed to the database. If the Security Manager database contains pending data, you must commit or discard all uncommitted changes, then back up your database before you perform the upgrade. For instructions, see "Upgrading Server Applications" in the Installation Guide for Cisco Security Manager 3.2.2.

Service Packs: Service packs cannot be installed by themselves. They are intended for installation on an existing installation of Cisco Security Manager 3.2.2. For more information, see Cisco Security Manager 3.2.2 Service Pack 4 Download and Installation Instructions.

If you have installed any service packs on your server and you restore a database that was backed up prior to installing those services packs, you must reapply the service packs after restoring the database.

Cisco Security Manager 3.2.2 Service Pack 4 Download and Installation Instructions

Service pack 4 is a cumulative update that also includes the updates that were found in service packs 1, 2 and 3. You can apply Cisco Security Manager 3.2.2 Service Pack 4 to a Cisco Security Manager 3.2.2 installation whether that installation has previous service packs installed or not.


Note The Cisco Security Manager 3.2.2 Sybase Patch has been integrated in Cisco Security Manager 3.2.2 Service Pack 4 and is no longer available as a standalone patch. If you have already installed the Sybase Patch, you can install Cisco Security Manager 3.2.2 Service Pack 4 on top of your patched 3.2.2 installation. However, you do not need to install the Sybase Patch before installing Service Pack 4.

Cisco Security Manager 3.2.2 Download and Installation Instructions

To download and install Cisco Security Manager 3.2.2:


Step 1 Log in to Cisco.com.

Step 2 Go to http://www.cisco.com/go/csmanager, then click Download Software.


Note RME is not included in the downloadable version of the installation utility. For information on installing Resource Manager Essentials, please refer to the Installation Guide for Cisco Security Manager 3.2.2.


Step 3 Download fcs-csm-322-win-k9.exe.


Note Save the installation utility on a disk that is local to your server. Installation cannot succeed over a network connection to a remote volume, even if installation seems to succeed.


Step 4 Run the file that you downloaded. The InstallShield Wizard extracts files to a temporary directory and checks their integrity while it constructs the Cisco Security Manager Setup application, which starts automatically.


Note For detailed installation instructions, refer to the Installation Guide for Cisco Security Manager 3.2.2.



Tip If an error message says the file contents cannot be unpacked, we recommend that you empty the Temp directory, scan for viruses, delete the C:\Program Files\Common Files\InstallShield directory, then reboot and retry.


Important Notes

If you have made any changes to the DCS.properties file in the \CSCOpx\MDC\athena\config folder in the installation directory (usually C:\Program Files), you should make a backup of the file prior to applying service pack 3and then reapply those properties after applying service pack 3.

If you are installing Cisco Security Manager 3.2.2 SP1, SP2, or SP3 in a high-availability (HA) environment, you must manually copy the monitor.pl script from NMSROOT to VERITAS bin folder.

copy %NMSROOT%\MDC\athena\ha\agent\monitor.pl %VCS_HOME%\BIN\CSManager\bin\monitor.pl

for example,

 copy C:\Program Files\CSCOpx\MDC\athena\ha\agent\monitor.pl  
    C:\Program Files\Veritas\cluster server\bin\CSManager\monitor.pl

Cisco Configuration Engine 3.0 is not backward-compatible to older versions of Cisco Configuration Engine. Therefore, you will need to migrate to Cisco Configuration Engine 3.0 to work with Security Manager 3.2.2 SP1, SP2, or SP3.

With the introduction of AUS 3.2.2, the CNS Event Gateway feature is no longer supported. As a result, IOS devices will not be managed by AUS. When you upgrade Security Manager with AUS—both inline and restore-based—all IOS devices that were previously linked with AUS will appear as not linked. The workaround for this is to use the CNS Config Engine. However, Config Engine does not support interactive commands. Also IOS routers must be configured for event mode to work with Config Engine. Config Engine discovery will not be supported if the IOS routers are running on callhome mode.

Interface names are not case-sensitive in Security Manager, although they are case-sensitive in a Cisco Security Monitoring, Analysis, and Response System Appliance (MARS appliance). For example, outside and Outside are considered exclusive by a MARS appliance, while they are equivalent in Security Manager. As a result, when you perform a query for a Security Manager policy from an event generated in MARS, an interface name logged in the syslog event might not match the interface name of that policy in Security Manager. Syslog messages use lowercase for all interface names. To work around this problem, use lowercase for all interface names and in the definition of interface roles in MARS.

If the client system used to access the MARS GUI is not on the same side of the NAT boundary as the MARS appliance and the Security Manager server, you can perform policy lookup in read-only mode. However, you cannot start the Security Manager client from the read-only policy lookup table to modify matching policies. The client system must be on the same side of the NAT as the MARS appliance and the Security Manager if you want to start the Security Manager client from MARS to modify the matching policy.

Security Manager client must be on the same side of the NAT boundary as the MARS appliance and the Security Manager server to query MARS events from policies.

For a list of known problems in MARS related to policy table lookup from MARS syslogs and events lookup from Security Manager policies, see Release Notes for Cisco Security MARS Appliance 4.3.4 and 5.3.4. The known problems in Security Manager related to these features are documented in the Diagnostics, Monitoring, and Troubleshooting Tools.

In IOS 12.3(14)T, many of the predefined inspection protocols were introduced; however, certain commands are not generated if inspection rules configured in Security Manager conflict with port definitions of predefined inspection protocols.

You might receive a persistent error message such as "Internal Error, please save the logs and contact TAC." If this should occur, please select Tools  > Security Manager Diagnostics and send the resulting CSMDiagnostics.zip file to the Technical Assistance Center.

If you have a device that uses commands that were unsupported in previous versions of Security Manager, these commands are not automatically populated into Security Manager as part of the upgrade to Security Manager 3.2.2. If you deploy back to the device, these commands are removed from the device because the commands are not part of the target policies configured in Security Manager. We recommend that you set the correct values for the newly added attributes in the Security Manager GUI so that the next deployment will correctly provision these commands. You can also rediscover the platform settings from the device; however, you will need to take necessary steps to save and restore any shared Security Manager policies that are assigned to the device.

If you changed the HTTP or HTTPS port number on your Security Manager server to any port number other than the default value, connection to the server from the Security Manager client fails because the client tries to contact the server using the default port values. In Security Manager, two properties, HTTP_PORT and HTTPS_PORT, can be added to the client.info file located in the ..\Cisco Systems\Cisco Security Manager Client\jars folder on your client system to configure the port numbers you configured on your server. Add the following lines to the client.info file after opening it in a text editor such as Notepad and save the changes:

HTTP_PORT=<port_number> 
HTTPS_PORT=<port_number> 

When you start the client the next time, it uses the updated port numbers, based on the protocol selected, to communicate with the server.

For the Cisco Security Monitoring, Analysis, and Response System Appliance (MARS) cross-launch panel to appear on the Cisco Security Manager Suite home page, you need to manually register the MARS appliance on the Common Services application registration page. To do this, perform the following:

1. From the Cisco Security Manager Suite home page, click the Server Administration link. The Common Services Admin page appears.

2. Select HomePage Admin > Application Registration. The Application Registrations Status page appears.

3. Click Register. The Choose Location for Registrations page appears.

4. Select Register From Templates, then click Next.

5. Select Monitoring, Analysis and Response System, then click Next.

6. Enter the server name, server display name, and port and protocol information for the MARS appliance, then click Next.

7. Verify registration information, then click Finish. The MARS launch point will now appear from the Cisco Security Manager Suite homepage.


Note If you choose to add the cross-launch to MARS later, simply launch your web browser and enter http://SecManServer:1741, where SecManServer is the name of the computer where Cisco Security Manager Suite is installed. If you are using SSL, the default URL is https://SecManServer:443.


A Cisco Services for IPS service license is required for the installation of signature updates on IPS 5.x appliances, Catalyst and ASA service modules, and router network modules.

Avoid connecting to the database directly, because doing so can cause performance reductions and unexpected system behavior.

Do not run SQL queries against the database.

If an online help page displays blank in your browser view, refresh the browser.

With the release of the S227 signature update on May 12, 2006, the minimum required version for 5.x signature updates was incremented from IPS version 5.0(5) to 5.0(6). Sensors running IPS 5.x software versions earlier than the minimum required version will fail until the sensor is upgraded to the supported level. Note that the minimum required version for 5.x signature updates is generally set to the latest available service pack within 30 to 45 days of that service pack's release.


Caution If you did not set Category CLI commands on your IOS IPS device to select a subset of IPS signatures that the device will attempt to compile, Security Manager will push CLI commands to enable the IOS IPS Basic category to prevent the device resources from being overloaded. These CLI commands are not managed by Security Manager after they are deployed. You can change these manually on the device to select another set of signatures to compile.
