Defining local user-roles for use in event cppm not contactable

    Posted Jul 04, 2022 08:52 AM
    Hi,
    I'm successfully using downloadable user roles  via clearpass and now need to configure some local ones  in the event cppm is not accessible. (Switch code WC.16.10.21)
    Thought I'd try something simple  so the allowall roole below should just let the client  connect via the statically defined vlan/port assignment. Got DHCP/DNS and allowall classes, at a later date the allowall class will be replaced with something   more representative

    Unfortunately, it doesnt work.
    I have
    ......
    aaa port-access 1/1 critical-auth user-role allowall
    ......

    Looking through the session logs when i forcve a reauth I can see

    "dca: ST1-CMDR: Failed to apply user role to macAuth client <macaddress> on port 1/1: user role is invalid"

    Aruba-2930F# show user-role allowall detailed

    Should say that cppm is in monitor mode and not sending back a user-role. Even get the message when  I've assigned an explicit initial user-role, so is the log just telling me that it hasnt seen a downloaded user-role?

    if I do show port-access 1/1 client

    it shows that it has role "allowall" applied

    Hi Alex,

    For me it looks like the CPPM is returning access accept messages only (CPPM Monitor mode: https://community.arubanetworks.com/community-home/digestviewer/viewthread?MID=22277) and these messages are having the wrong/or missing VSAs (https://community.arubanetworks.com/blogs/esupport1/2020/04/10/arubaos-switch-error-message-05204-dca-failed-to-apply-user-role-reported-in-the-log-file).

    The error message is kind of confirming this (Description: User role VSA received for the client is invalid or does not exist.)

    Event ID: 5204: https://support.hpe.com/hpesc/public/docDisplay?docId=a00093582en_us

    Did you try the critical authentication with no connection to the CPPM?

    Hi,
    Yes I tried that on my dev server nasty home.
    At home I have
    class ipv4 "DNS"
    10 match udp 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 192.168.1.152 0.0.0.0 eq 53
    20 match udp 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 192.168.2.4 0.0.0.0 eq 53
    30 match udp 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 192.168.1.88 0.0.0.0 eq 53
    exit
    class ipv4 "DHCP"
    10 match udp 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 eq 67
    exit
    class ipv4 "ICMP"
    10 match icmp 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255
    exit
    class ipv4 "allowall"
    10 match ip 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255
    exit
    policy user "AllowAll"
    10 class ipv4 "DHCP" action permit
    20 class ipv4 "DNS" action permit
    30 class ipv4 "ICMP" action permit
    60 class ipv4 "allowall" action permit
    exit

    aaa authorization user-role name "servers"
    policy "AllowAll"
    reauth-period 3600
    vlan-name "servers"
    exit
    aaa authorization user-role name "allowall"
    policy "AllowAll"
    reauth-period 3600
    exit
    aaa authorization user-role name "critical-role"
    policy "AllowAll"
    reauth-period 3600
    exit
    aaa authorization user-role name "aruba-instant-ap"
    policy "AllowAll"
    reauth-period 3600

    device

    port-mode
    exit
    exit

    And finally …..

    aaa port-access 2 auth-order authenticator mac-based
    aaa port-access 3 controlled-direction in
    aaa port-access 3 auth-order authenticator mac-based
    aaa port-access 3 auth-priority authenticator mac-based

    aaa port-access 4 auth-priority authenticator mac-based
    aaa port-access 4 critical-auth user-role "aruba-instant-ap"
    aaa port-access 5 controlled-direction in
    aaa port-access 5 auth-order authenticator mac-based
    aaa port-access 5 auth-priority authenticator mac-based
    aaa port-access 5 critical-auth user-role "aruba-instant-ap"
    aaa port-access 6 controlled-direction in
    aaa port-access 6 auth-order authenticator mac-based
    aaa port-access 6 auth-priority authenticator mac-based
    aaa port-access 7 controlled-direction in
    aaa port-access 7 auth-order authenticator mac-based
    aaa port-access 7 auth-priority authenticator mac-based
    aaa port-access 7 critical-auth user-role "servers"
    aaa port-access 8 controlled-direction in
    aaa port-access 8 auth-order authenticator mac-based
    aaa port-access 8 auth-priority authenticator mac-based
    aaa port-access 8 critical-auth user-role "aruba-instant-ap”


    Had a power cut at home and switches came back before cppm and ended up getting the following

    W 07/06/22 09:58:23 05204 dca: Failed to apply user role to macAuth client
    5AC41408495B on port 4: user role is invalid.

    The above relate to an Aruba instant AP which should have been in port mode so I shouldn’t have seen them. When cppm is there and I’m using DUP, works just fine

    Hi Alex,

    Have you tried to enable debugging to see more details? 
    You can try the debugs for port-access and radius (debug security port-access/radius).
