Overview

Cisco ISE supports protocol standards like RADIUS, its associated RFC Standards, and TACACS+. For more information, see the ISE Community Resources.

Cisco ISE supports interoperability with any Cisco or non-Cisco RADIUS client network access device (NAD) that implements common RADIUS behavior for standards-based authentication.

Cisco ISE interoperates fully with third-party TACACS+ client devices that adhere to the governing protocols. Support for TACACS+ functions depends on the device-specific implementation.

Validated Network Access Devices

RADIUS

Cisco ISE interoperates fully with third-party RADIUS devices that adhere to the standard protocols. Support for RADIUS functions depends on the device-specific implementation.

Certain advanced use cases, such as those that involve posture assessment, profiling, and web authentication, are not consistently available with non-Cisco devices or may provide limited functionality. We recommend that you validate all network devices and their software for hardware capabilities or bugs in a particular software release.

If the network device does not support both dynamic and static URL redirects, Cisco ISE provides an Auth VLAN configuration by which URL redirect is simulated. For more information, see "Third-Party Network Device Support in Cisco ISE" section in Chapter "Secure Wired Access" in the Cisco Identity Services Engine Administrator Guide.

TACACS+

Cisco ISE interoperates fully with third-party TACACS+ client devices that adhere to the governing protocols. Support for TACACS+ functions depends on the device-specific implementation.

For information on enabling specific functions of Cisco ISE on network switches, see the “Switch and Wireless LAN Controller Configuration Required to Support Cisco ISE Functions” chapter in Cisco Identity Services Engine Administrator Guide.


ISE Community Resource Does ISE Support My Network Access Device? For information about third-party NAD profiles, see ISE Third-Party NAD Profiles and Configs. For information on how to configure TACACS+ for Nexus devices, see Cisco ISE Device Administration Prescriptive Deployment Guide.

Note

Some switch models and IOS versions may have reached the end-of-life date and interoperability may not be supported by Cisco TAC.
You must use the latest version of NetFlow for the Cisco ISE profiling service. If you use NetFlow Version 5, you can use it only on the primary NAD at the access layer.

For Wireless LAN Controllers, note the following:

MAC authentication bypass (MAB) supports MAC filtering with RADIUS lookup.
Support for session ID and COA with MAC filtering provides MAB-like functionality.
DNS-based ACL feature is supported for WLC 8.0 and above. Not all Access Points support DNS-based ACL. See the Cisco Access Points Release Notes for more details.

For information about the devices that are validated with Cisco ISE, see Network Device Capabilities Validated with Cisco Identity Services Engine.

The following notations are used to mark the device support:

√ : Fully supported
X : Not supported
! : Limited support, some functionalities are not supported.

The following functionalities are supported by each feature:

³ Minimum OS is the version in which the features got introduced.

⁴ The IOS 12.x version does not fully support the Posture and Guest flows because of CSCsx97093. As a workaround, when you configure URL redirect in Cisco ISE, assign a value to “coa-skip-logical-profile.”

Cisco ISE supports SNMP CoA for Cisco Catalyst switches. The following features are supported with SNMP CoA for Cisco Catalyst switches:

Posture
BYOD

Note

Some of the OS versions for Android, Apple, and Windows devices might require additional access to the ISE servers for CWA and BYOD flows post authentication. In such cases, you must allow access to the PSN in the post authentication ACL using the same TCP port where the portal is hosted.
Due to CSCvi10594, IPv6 RADIUS CoA fails in AireOS Release 8.1 and later. As a workaround, you can use IPv4 RADIUS or downgrade Cisco Wireless LAN Controller to AireOS Release 8.0.
Cisco Wireless LAN Controllers (WLCs) and Wireless Service Modules (WiSMs) do not support downloadable ACLs (dACLs), but support named ACLs. Autonomous AP deployments do not support endpoint posturing. Profiling services are supported for 802.1X-authenticated WLANs starting from WLC release 7.0.116.0 and for MAB-authenticated WLANs starting from WLC 7.2.110.0. FlexConnect, previously known as Hybrid Remote Edge Access Point (HREAP) mode, is supported with central authentication configuration deployment starting from WLC 7.2.110.0. For additional details regarding FlexConnect support, refer to the release notes for the applicable wireless controller platform.

In addition to these personas, Cisco ISE contains other types of personas within Policy Service, such as Profiling Service, Session Services, Threat-Centric NAC Service, SXP Service for TrustSec, TACACS+ Device Admin Service, and Passive Identity Service.

Caution

*Cisco ISE 3.1 Patch 6 and above versions support Cisco SNS 3700 series appliances.
Cisco ISE 3.1 and later releases do not support Cisco Secured Network Server (SNS) 3515 appliance.
Cisco SNS 3400 Series appliances are not supported in Cisco ISE, Release 2.4, and later.
Memory allocation of less than 16 GB is not supported for VM appliance configurations. In the event of a Cisco ISE behavior issue, all the users will be required to change the allocated memory to at least 16 GB before opening a case with the Cisco Technical Assistance Center.
Legacy Access Control Server (ACS) and Network Access Control (NAC) appliances (including the Cisco ISE 3300 Series) are not supported in Cisco ISE, Release 2.0, and later.

Validated Virtual Environments

Cisco ISE supports the following virtual environment platforms:

VMware ESXi 5.x (5.1 U2 and later support RHEL 7), 6.x, 7.x

Note

If you are installing or upgrading Cisco ISE on an ESXi 5.x server, update the VMware hardware version to 9 or later to support RHEL 7 as the Guest OS. RHEL 7 is supported with VMware hardware Version 9 and later.

KVM on QEMU 1.5.3-160
Microsoft Hyper-V on Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 and later

Caution

Cisco ISE does not support VMware snapshots for backing up ISE data because a VMware snapshot saves the status of a VM at a given point in time. In a multi-node Cisco ISE deployment, data in all the nodes are continuously synchronized with current database information. Restoring a snapshot might cause database replication and synchronization issues. We recommend that you use the backup functionality included in Cisco ISE for archival and restoration of data.

Using VMware snapshots to back up ISE data results in stopping Cisco ISE services. A reboot is required to bring up the ISE node.

Validated Client Machine Operating Systems, Supplicants, and Agents

This section lists the validated client machine operating systems, browsers, and agent versions for each client machine type. For all devices, you must also have cookies enabled in the web browser. Cisco AnyConnect-ISE Posture Support Charts are available at: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/security/identity-services-engine/products-device-support-tables-list.html

The following client machine types have been validated for Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) and Posture workflows:

Apple iOS
Apple macOS
Google Android
Google Chromebook
Microsoft Windows

Cisco ISE 2.7 Patch 8 and above, Cisco ISE 3.0 Patch 7 and above, Cisco ISE 3.1 Patch 5 and above, Cisco ISE 3.2 Patch 1 and above, and Cisco ISE 3.3 and above releases support both AnyConnect and Cisco Secure Client for Windows, macOS, and Linux operating systems.

All standard 802.1X supplicants can be used with Cisco ISE, Release 2.4 and above standard and advanced features as long as they support the standard authentication protocols supported by Cisco ISE. For the VLAN change authorization feature to work in a wireless deployment, the supplicant must support IP address refresh on VLAN change.

Posture and Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) flows are supported by the General Availability releases of the operating systems that are listed in the Cisco ISE UI, based on the latest Posture Feed Update. The Posture and BYOD flows may also work in the Beta macOS releases that are listed in the Cisco ISE UI. For example, if macOS 12 Beta (all) is listed in the Cisco ISE UI, Posture and BYOD flows may work on macOS 12 Beta endpoints. Support is provided on a best-effort basis as beta operating system releases often undergo significant changes between the initial and General Availability releases.

Note that when you update your Operating System (OS) to a new version, you may experience a delay (of a few hours or a day) in support and refection of the updated OS version in the Posture Feed Server.

Google Android

This client machine type has been validated for BYOD and posture workflows.

Cisco ISE may not support certain Android OS version and device combinations due to the open access-nature of Android implementation on certain devices.

The following Google Android versions have been validated with Cisco ISE:

Google Android 13.x
Google Android 12.x
Google Android 11.x
Google Android 10.x
Google Android 9.x
Google Android 8.x
Google Android 7.x

The following Android devices have been validated with Cisco ISE. See the Validated Network Access Devices section for the list of devices for which BYOD flow is supported in Cisco ISE.

Table 13. Validated Android Devices
Device Model	Android Version
Google Pixel 3	10
OnePlus 6	10
Samsung S9	9
Google Nexus 6P	8.1
Huawei Mate Pro 10	8

Ensure that the Location service is enabled on the Android 9.x and 10.x devices before starting the supplicant provisioning wizard (SPW).

Android no longer uses Common Name (CN). The Hostname must be in the subjectAltName (SAN) extension, or trust fails. If you are using self-signed certificates, regenerate Cisco ISE self-signed certificate by selecting Domain Name or IP Address option from the SAN drop-down list for Portals (under Administration > System > Certificates > System Certificates).

If you are using Android 9.x, you must update the posture feed in Cisco ISE to get the NSA for Android 9.

Note

Cisco ISE 2.7 and earlier versions do not support Android 13+ with NSA to deploy BYOD flow. You can upgrade to Cisco ISE 3.0 and later versions to resolve this issue.

Apple iOS

This client machine type has been validated for BYOD and posture workflows.

While Apple iOS devices use Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol (PEAP) with Cisco ISE or 802.1x, the public certificate includes a CRL distribution point that the iOS device needs to verify but it cannot do it without network access. Click “confirm/accept” on the iOS device to authenticate to the network.

The following Apple iOS versions have been validated with Cisco ISE:

Apple iOS 16.x
Apple iOS 15.x
Apple iOS 14.x
Apple iOS 13.x
Apple iOS 12.x
Apple iOS 11.x

The following iPhone/iPad devices have been validated with Cisco ISE. See the Validated Network Access Devices section for the list of devices for which BYOD flow is supported in Cisco ISE.

iPhone 8	iOS 12.3
iPhone 7	iOS 13.2
iPhone 6	iOS 12.6
iPhone 5s	iOS 12, iOS 10.3
iPad	iPad OS 13.1

Note

If you are using Apple iOS 12.2 or later version, you must manually install the downloaded Certificate/Profile. To do this, choose Settings > General > Profile in the Apple iOS device and Click Install.
If you are using Apple iOS 12.2 or later version, RSA key size must be 2048 bits or higher. Otherwise, you might see an error while installing the BYOD profile.
If you are using Apple iOS 13 or a later version, regenerate the self-signed certificate for portal role by adding the <<FQDN>> as DNS Name in the SAN field.
If you are using Apple iOS 13 or a later version, ensure that SHA-256 (or greater) is selected as the signature algorithm.

Apple macOS

This client machine type has been validated for BYOD and posture workflows.

Table 15. Apple macOS
Client Machine Operating System	AnyConnect
Apple macOS 13.x	4.10.05111 or later
Apple macOS 12.6	4.10.05111 or later

Apple macOS 10.14	4.8.01090 or later
Apple macOS 10.13	4.8.01090 or later

Cisco ISE does work with earlier release of AnyConnect 4.x. However, only newer AnyConnect releases support newer features.

Note

For Apple macOS 11, you must use Cisco AnyConnect 4.9.04043 or above and MAC OSX compliance module 4.3.1466.4353 or above.

If you are using Apple macOS 11, you might see a prompt to install the profiles manually when you are installing the Cisco Network Setup Assistant. In this case, you must do the following:

Navigate to the Downloads folder.
Double-click the cisco802dot1xconfiguration.mobileconfig file.
Choose System > Preferences.
Click Profiles.
Install the profiles.
Click OK in the prompt that is displayed in the Cisco Network Setup Assistant to proceed with installation.

Note

The Supplicant Provisioning Wizard bundle for MAC OSX version 3.1.0.1 is common for all Cisco ISE releases. It has been verified with Cisco ISE 2.4 patch 12, Cisco ISE 2.6 patch 8, Cisco ISE 2.7 patch 3, and Cisco ISE 3.0 patch 2.

For information about the Windows and MAC OSX anti-malware, patch management, disk encryption, and firewall products that are supported by the Cisco ISE Posture Agent, see the Cisco AnyConnect-ISE Posture Support Charts.

Note

All browsers have capped the reported Apple macOS version to 10.15.7 and increased user privacy.
During provisioning we won’t be able to identify Apple macOS 11 endpoints. This leads to an issue with CP policy matching in Posture and BYOD flows when client is running Apple macOS 11. As a workaround, proceed with Posture and BYOD flows for Apple macOS 11 as Map CP policy as macOS All.
During classification we won’t be able to identify Apple macOS 11 endpoints. This leads to an issue with profiling policy matching when client is running Apple macOS 11.

Table 17. Google Chromebook
Client Machine Operating System	Web Browser	Cisco ISE
Google Chromebook	Google Chrome version 49 or later	Cisco ISE 2.4 Patch 8

Cisco ISE BYOD or Guest portal may fail to launch in Chrome Operating System 73 even though the URL is redirected successfully. To launch the portals in Chrome Operating System 73, follow the steps below:

Generate a new self-signed certificate from ISE GUI by filling the Subject Alternative Name field. Both DNS and IP Address must be filled.
Export and copy the certificate to the end client (chrome book).
Choose Settings > Advanced > Privacy and Security > Manage certificates > Authorities.
Import the certificate.
Open the browser and try to redirect the portal.

In Chromebook 76 and later, if you are configuring EAP-TLS settings using an internal CA for EAP, upload the CA certificate chain with SAN fields to the Google Admin Console Device Management > Network > Certificates. Once the CA chain is uploaded, the Cisco ISE generated certificate with SAN fields is mapped under Chromebook Authorities section to consider your Cisco ISE certificate as trusted.

If you are using a third-party CA, you do not have to import CA chain to Google Admin Console. Choose Settings > Advanced > Privacy and Security > Manage certificates > Server certificate Authority and select Use any default Certificate Authority from the drop-down list.

Requirements for CA to Interoperate with Cisco ISE

Client Certificate Requirements for Certificate-Based Authentication

While using a CA server with Cisco ISE, make sure that the following requirements are met:

Key size should be 1024, 2048, or higher. In CA server, the key size is defined using certificate template. You can define the key size on Cisco ISE using the supplicant profile.
Key usage should allow signing and encryption in extension.
While using GetCACapabilities through the SCEP protocol, cryptography algorithm and request hash should be supported. It is recommended to use RSA and SHA1.

Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) is supported. This is not directly used in BYOD, but a CA which can act as an OCSP server can be used for certificate revocation.

Note

Enterprise Java Beans Certificate Authority (EJBCA) is not supported by Cisco ISE for proxy SCEP. EJBCA is supported by Cisco ISE for standard EAP authentication like PEAP, EAP-TLS, and so on.

If you use an enterprise PKI to issue certificates for Apple iOS devices, ensure that you configure key usage in the SCEP template and enable the Key Encipherment option.

If you use Microsoft CA, edit the Key Usage Extension in the certificate template. In the Encryption area, click the Allow Key Exchange only with Key Encryption (Key encipherment) radio button and check the Allow Encryption of User Data check box.
Cisco ISE supports the use of RSASSA-PSS algorithm for trusted certificates and endpoint certificates for EAP-TLS authentication. When you view the certificate, the signature algorithm is listed as 1.2.840.113549.1.1.10 instead of the algorithm name.

Note

If you use the Cisco ISE internal CA for the BYOD flow, the Admin certificate should not be signed using the RSASSA-PSS algorithm (by an external CA). The Cisco ISE internal CA cannot verify an Admin certificate that is signed using this algorithm and the request would fail.

For certificate-based authentication with Cisco ISE, the client certificate should meet the following requirements:
