User-ID agent, 802.1x and Windows 2008 NPS - help needed!

mcocat — Fri, 15 Nov 2013 20:11:51 GMT

I followed the following guide here:

PANOS 5.0 User-ID Installation and configuration including integration guide with Microsoft NPS

I am able to capture the 6272 Windows Events and pass them to the UIDRADIUSScript.vbs, but I am having issues at that point. I have debugging enabled in UIDConfig.xml, and here is a sample of the output I get, it appears I am unable to obtain the DHCP scopes.

Here is my UIDConfig.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<user-id-script-config>

<wireless-lan-controllers>

</wireless-lan-controllers>

<domain>NSCORP</domain>

<LogPath>C:\Windows\System32\LogFiles\npsaccounting\</LogPath>

<DHCPServer>dc.nscorp.local</DHCPServer>

</user-id-script-config>

I am running the script as a domain admin, and I also added the domain admin to the DHCP Users group as instructed in the guide. My NPS server and User-ID agent are running on the same server, my DHCP server is running on another server.

Hi,

can you modify the script and add the green line please

Function PostToAgent(strUserAgentData)

         sUrl = "https://" & strAgentServer & ":" & strAgentPort & "/"

         On Error Resume Next

         xmlHttp.open "put", sUrl, False

         xmlhttp.setRequestHeader "Content-type", "text/xml"

         xmlHttp.setOption 2, 13056

         WScript.Echo(strUserAgentData)

         xmlHttp.send(strUserAgentData)

         xmlHttp.close

End Function

then can you run the script manually by executing the below command from command prompt ?

UIDRADIUSScript.vbs "test" 001b631c023c

you need to replace the MAC address with a valid one. check your DHCP server for a valid mac address.

also try to run this command manually and see if you can get the result "netsh dhcp server \\<dhcpserver> show scope"

you do not need to set <agent>1</agent> since you are not using agentless User-ID, change that to 0

also are you using the latest script ? the latest script supports multiple DHCP scope.

Thank you for the help. I realized my first mistake when I tried to run "nets DHCP" manually (from the server) - Since I didn't have a DHCP role or RSAT tools installed I didn't have the necessary helper DLL to run the command. I've since installed the tools and now I can run nets DHCP, and I see my MAC in the list. I added the "echo" line to my script and manually ran the script with my MAC, but I never did get an echo to the screen. Here is my latest debug after making the change. Any other suggestions?

I laid down a new copy of the script and it appears to be working now! I may have altered the script somewhere in my troubleshooting. Ultimately the problem was with the DHCP tools. Also, I tried setting the agent to "0" and that failed. Once I set it back to "1" it worked. It looks like "0" is for agent less and "1" is for agent-based. Thanks for the help on this!

yes, you are correct, sorry my mistake

an agent/agentless flag, 1 = software agent, 0 = agentless, submitting to device

I have the same problem with Windows 2012 NPS. Here is my UIDConfig.

<useridscriptconfig>
<wireless-lan-controllers>
<wlc>1.1.1.1</wlc>
<wlc>1.1.1.2</wlc>
</wireless-lan-controllers>
<Domain>RACHAPREUK</Domain>
<LogPath>C:\Windows\System32\LogFiles\</LogPath>
<LogFormat>DHCP</LogFormat>
<AgentServer>192.168.1.31</AgentServer>

<Key>Key</Key>
<VSYS>vsys1</VSYS>
<Agent>1</Agent>

</useridscriptconfig>

And I got this from UIDDebug

Please anyone help?
