RE: Cisco NAC and posture agent vs. GPOs, drive mappings, etc.!?
Any bites with this? We've hit a brick wall and are stuck with logging the issue with Citrix. Not a huge amount of hope in getting them to redesign their product for us so that it actually works a From: Alan Davies [mailto:adav...@cls-services.com] Sent: 08 August 2011 16:39 To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Cisco NAC and posture agent vs. GPOs, drive mappings, etc.!? Hi all, Does anyone use Cisco's NAC with the posture checking agent out there for windows endpoints? If so, I would love to hear about how you managed to get it to play nicely with your AD environment! Because the agent doesn't run until *after* you pass the GINA, it stops certain GPO based settings that require trusted network resources (eg. folder redirection) and then gets in a race condition with other scripts and software that may need access to trusted network resourced (eg. login scripts that map drives and any other agents that log into internal servers). If it loads last, everything is broken. Even if it loads quickly, some things are broken. This seems to be a fundamental architectural issue - defeats me as to why the agent doesn't check in as a machine based entity on boot, rather than waiting for user login. I know there are options that can be based on user or group, but that should be an additional option, not a design assumption! The only alternative appears to be to defeat the purpose of the unauthenticated group and blow a load of firewall holes through it, thus rendering it semi-useless when inline since you're no longer protecting your network from unauthorised hosts (MAC address can only come from the agent in a VPN setup, unlike the L2 functionality on internal switches). a WARNING: The information in this email and any attachments is confidential and may be legally privileged.

RE: Almost, but not quite OT: Passwords
This is simplistic. Typically a large bank has many, many, systems bought over time. 20 years ago, SAML, ADFS etc didn't exist. A hashed password gets you into the first system. How does that system then integrate with 20 other systems, some of which are 20-30 years (or more) older? They might not support the same hashing mechanism (or not support hashes at all). They may have completely different password requirements/limitations. It's one thing for a personal online banking site to have some password requirements, but changing a bank's core systems is a $500m-$1bn dollar project (having worked on two), and a multi-year project. It's not something that a bank can just provide at the drop of a hat. And whilst there are technical solutions to all of this it's not as simple as saying hash all passwords or they don't know anything about security Cheers Ken From: kz2...@googlemail.com [mailto:kz2...@googlemail.com] Sent: Saturday, 13 August 2011 5:37 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Almost, but not quite OT: Passwords The stored password must be hashed (and preferably salted too) otherwise I would change banks. When you enter your password, that is hashed and compared to the stored hash. If it matches, then you are allowed in. But yes, they need to capture the hashes somehow, in that situation, either by sniffing or getting access to the database. But once that compromise is done, its usually only a matter of time.

Question on ESX VM issue, NEED HELP
Has anyone seen an issue with this months patches causing the TCP/IP Stack on Windows 2003 to blow up? I have already did the following. http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_UScmd =displayKCexternalId=1014169 I have even uninstall and rebooted and reinstalled the Virtual NIC and upgraded the VM tools and I get the following issue. I can assign the IP address of the physical system. I can ping 127.0.0.1 and the address. I can't ping the gateway its set correctly, 255.255.255.128 and the gateway is .129 which is also correct, also the VLAN ID for the NIC is correct accordingly. Change the IP address on that VLAN segment same issue so I knows its going down the stack issue. Any ideas? Z Edward E.

RE: Question on ESX VM issue, NEED HELP
I had a similar issue during a migration. It had to do with the way we had the NICs trunked up to our Cisco switch. I had to change the vswitch to 'Route based on IP hash'. Something to check anyway. Machines would work fine until a reboot, then I had to do all kinds of messing around with the IP stack to get it to reconnect. -John Kelsey From: Ziots, Edward [mailto:ezi...@lifespan.org] Sent: Monday, August 15, 2011 1:55 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Question on ESX VM issue, NEED HELP Has anyone seen an issue with this months patches causing the TCP/IP Stack on Windows 2003 to blow up?

RE: Question on ESX VM issue, NEED HELP
Here was the solution in our case, pretty darn obsecure. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/870910 Basically when I compared with a known good system after doing a netsh int ip reset command that the IPSEC policies key was not on the system in question but was on the system that was known good. So the regsvr32 command took care of re-registering the default ipsec policy and things came up as expected. Look for event ID 4292 with Source IPSEC accordingly. I think between the patching and an issue with the VMTools not updating correctly, that was the issue that caused the Registry to go funky. That coupled with WinPcap from a installation of Wireshark ( which was already on the machine) Z Edward E.

RE: GOT IT! (RE: Citrix nightmare after changing ISPs)

(RE: Citrix nightmare after changing ISPs) In a similar vein, I have WI 5.2 and the latest CSG installed on the same Virtual machine. Has been running wonderfully even against a PS 4.0 farm. I'm getting the same error noted previously ( Unable to launch) when my primary ISP goes down temporarily. I have a load balancer that does some DNS trickery, so the main citrix.doman.comhttp://citrix.doman.com page loads fine after the primary ISP fails, but I can't open applications. I presume during app launch the ica file is trying to access the primary ISP's IP address of either CSG or WI and it fails since it's down. I surmise the load balancer may present the secondary link's IP during app launch while the primary ISP is down, but I haven't confirmed. Is there a way to add multiple entries inside WI to accommodate this type of scenario? Thanks! Harry.

Re: DHCP Server and multiple subnets
One thing I did long ago is to put up a VLAN and a layer2 switch (which I called a 'transit' switch - I don't know if that's a correct term, but it seemed descriptive to me, and still does) between the firewall and the core switch. When it came time to put up our Barracuda web filter, I in-lined the Barracuda between switch for that subnet and the core switch. The in-line configuration was required because the new manager wanted to require zero configuration for clients. It got complicated because the firewall is actually two units in Active/Passive HA configuration, and there were multiple VLANs running through that physical subnet by that time, and the Barracuda required some special configuration, but that arrangement has served me very well. But, when I put up a guest network, I just had to put in one more L2 VLAN on the core switch, the WAPs and their associated PoE switches, and the transit switch (and a small FreeBSD box on the guest network with a DHCP server) and that was it. I'm sure someone with more/better knowledge could come up with a better arrangement, but this does work... Kurt On Fri, Aug 12, 2011 at 16:01, Matthew W.

More detail for the interested: I have a ProCurve 5308xl standing as the core swtich in our district. All of the schools connect to it over gigabit fiber, save one 100mbit school. I am trying to get a guest vlan working so I can put visitors and non-work related wifi devices on a separate network, but I want them to be forced to use our content filter. Our content filter can't support multiple networks/vlans, but it can support multiple routed subnets. (Note I've complained to the manufacturer about this, but I don't seem to be getting anywhere on this front.) So, I need to route all of this Guest network through our normal network, while applying an ACL that prevents any traffic to/from this network except to/from our gateway/content filter. I've got it working... sorta. I can get on the network, I get an IP from our DHCP server (Thanks guys!) and I can ping the other subnet and even the gateway. I just can't ping past the gateway. I have a few theories I'm working through: Is my gateway/content filter somehow blocking the traffic? (Possibly) Is the gateway/content filter not setup to route traffic that originates in a subnet? (Also possibly) The only odd thing I can see is that I can ping another subnet's interface on the 5308xl... and my route should not allow that. Thus, I'm looking at that as well...

(You can run multiple subnets without a router, but it's really a bad idea.) For instance, on my HP 3400cl core switch, two of my vlans are set up as follows: vlan 111 name VLAN111 ip address 192.168.xx.xx 255.255.255.0 ip helper-address 192.168.xx.xx tagged 25-47 exit vlan 112 name VLAN112 ip address 192.168.xx.xx 255.255.255.0 ip helper-address 192.168.xx.xx tagged 25-47 exit It'll be very similar syntax on a Cisco switch for the helper address.

When it came time to put up our Barracuda web filter, I in-lined the Barracuda between switch for that subnet and the core switch. The in-line configuration was required because the new manager wanted to require zero configuration for clients. It got complicated because the firewall is actually two units in Active/Passive HA configuration, and there were multiple VLANs running through that physical subnet by that time, and the Barracuda required some special configuration, but that arrangement has served me very well. But, when I put up a guest network, I just had to put in one more L2 VLAN on the core switch, the WAPs and their associated PoE switches, and the transit switch (and a small FreeBSD box on the guest network with a DHCP server) and that was it. I'm sure someone with more/better knowledge could come up with a better arrangement, but this does work... Kurt On Fri, Aug 12, 2011 at 16:01, Matthew W.

More detail for the interested: I have a ProCurve 5308xl standing as the core swtich in our district. All of the schools connect to it over gigabit fiber, save one 100mbit school. I am trying to get a guest vlan working so I can put visitors and non-work related wifi devices on a separate network, but I want them to be forced to use our content filter. Our content filter can't support multiple networks/vlans, but it can support multiple routed subnets. (Note I've complained to the manufacturer about this, but I don't seem to be getting anywhere on this front.) So, I need to route all of this Guest network through our normal network, while applying an ACL that prevents any traffic to/from this network except to/from our gateway/content filter. I've got it working... sorta. I can get on the network, I get an IP from our DHCP server (Thanks guys!) and I can ping the other subnet and even the gateway. I just can't ping past the gateway. I have a few theories I'm working through: Is my gateway/content filter somehow blocking the traffic? (Possibly) Is the gateway/content filter not setup to route traffic that originates in a subnet? (Also possibly) The only odd thing I can see is that I can ping another subnet's interface on the 5308xl... and my route should not allow that. Thus, I'm looking at that as well... Does the default route take over even if I specify a route for a VLAN? --Matt Ross Ephrata School District - Original Message - From: Kurt Buff [mailto:kurt.b...@gmail.com] To: NT System Admin Issues [mailto:ntsysadmin@lyris.sunbelt-software.com] Sent: Fri, 12 Aug 2011 11:53:01 -0700 Subject: Re: DHCP Server and multiple subnets Are you meaning that you need to forward a DHCP request over more than 1 router? That is, requestor is on subnet1, makes a request, router2 forwards it over subnet2 to router2, which then forwards it to the DHCP server on subnet3. I haven't done that, nor heard of anyone who does, but it might be possible. That would be interesting. If that's the situation, however, I'd use it to make a case to collapse those two routers into one, if circumstances permitted. Or do you mean that you have other routing issues?

But to my original question, DHCP passes along as prescribed and I can ping between subnets.

Assuming that there's a router in your environment, you need to put a helper address on the router for each subnet for which the DHCP server will be serving addresses. (You can run multiple subnets without a router, but it's really a bad idea.) For instance, on my HP 3400cl core switch, two of my vlans are set up as follows:
