    Hey

     

    Is it possible to connect to the VPN tunnel before logon? (using the device certificate (system context) and not the user certificate)

     

    (Windows 10)

     

    Garp

    Hey

     

    Thnx for the answer

     

    I do have enabled the domain preconnect (set to 1)

     

    I'm able to connect to the VPN when logged on - but the domain preconnect does not work.

     

    (domain preconnect creates its own profile using this profile)//

     

    Where is this profile created? (in registry? - and how do I troubleshoot this?)

     

    Thnx in advance.

     

    Garp

    If you follow the guide on this link:

     

    https://community.arubanetworks.com/t5/Controller-Based-WLANs/What-is-Domain-Pre-connect-in-VIA-and-how-does-it-work/ta-p/184550

     

    It should work as described. My personal thoughts on it, use VIA 4.x (the latest for windows) and make sure the windows pc is domain joined. It will not work without a domain-joined PC. 

     

    I'm currently writing a detailed post about this, but it's not ready to share for now.

    can you share your connection profile? 

     

    Attached is mine from a test.

    I have a similar problem. 

    VIA is configured with IKEv2 and MSCHAPv2, not with TLS. 

    When the user is logged in, Windows credentials are used to establish a tunnel automatically. But when the user logs off I can't see any connection attempt in the controller log. (Enabled logging level debug)

     

    My connection profile:

     

     

    !
    aaa authentication via connection-profile "via-mschapv2"
        server addr "my.dns.name" internal-ip X.X.X.X desc "wlc1" position 1
        auth-profile "via-auth.mschapv2" position 1
        ikev2-policy "2001"
        ikev2-proto
        ikev2auth eap-mschapv2
        no save-passwords
        dns-suffix-list "domain.local"
    !

     

     

     I played around with different settings, like save-password, to no avail.

    Auth Profile:

     

     

    aaa authentication via auth-profile "via-auth.mschapv2"
        default-role "VIA-User"
        server-group "DOT1CPPM"
        radius-accounting "DOT1CPPM"
        auth-protocol mschapv2
    !

     

     

    Until now I only tested with the VIA 3 client, because I couldn't find any Release Notes about version 4.  Found it

     

    With a logged on user everything works fine, just Domain Pre-Login doesn't work at all.

     

    Edit:

    I saw one single authentication attempt in ClearPass one time the local user was logged off. But I was not able to replicate it.

    In it, I could see that the computer was trying to authenticate itself, without a user.
