Introduction to Cisco Identity Services Engine

Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) is a security policy management platform that provides secure access to network resources. Cisco ISE allows enterprises to gather real-time contextual information from networks, users, and devices. An administrator can then use this information to make proactive governance decisions by creating access control policies for the various network elements, including access switches, wireless controllers, Virtual Private Network (VPN) gateways, Private 5G networks, and data center switches. Cisco ISE acts as the policy manager in the Cisco TrustSec solution and supports TrustSec software-defined segmentation.

Cisco ISE is available on secure network server appliances with different performance characterizations, and also as software that can be run on a virtual machines (VMs). Note that you can add more appliances to a deployment for better performance.

Cisco ISE has a scalable architecture that supports standalone and distributed deployments, but with centralized configuration and management. It also enables the configuration and management of distinct personas and services, thereby giving you the ability to create and apply services where needed in a network, but operate the Cisco ISE deployment as a complete and coordinated system.

For detailed Cisco ISE ordering and licensing information, see the Cisco Identity Services Engine Ordering Guide.

For information on monitoring and troubleshooting the system, see the "Monitoring and Troubleshooting Cisco ISE" section in the Cisco Identity Services Engine Administrator Guide.

What is New in Cisco ISE, Release 3.1?

This section lists the new and changed features in Cisco ISE 3.1.


Note


Cisco ISE 3.1 OVA, ISO, and upgrade bundle files have been replaced on the Software Download site. For more information, see Cisco ISE 3.1 Files Replaced on Software Download Site.


Android Settings for Native Supplicant Profile

Android settings are added for native supplicant profile. You can select one of the following options for Certificate Enrollment Protocol:

  • Enrollment over Secure Transport (EST)

  • Simple Certificate Enrollment Protocol (SCEP)

If you choose the EST protocol, Cisco ISE will ask for additional password inputs from Android users while issuing certificates.

For more information, see "Native Supplicant Profile Settings" in the Chapter "Compliance" in the Cisco ISE Administrator Guide, Release 3.1.

Enhancements in Audit Logs

The following audit logs have been enhanced to include more details about relevant events:

  • Posture audit logs now include information regarding:

    • Creation and deletion of posture policies.

    • Changes made to existing posture policies, such as changes in fields such as Conditions, Rule Name, and so on.

    • Addition, deletion, or modification in posture configurations such as Conditions, Remediation Actions, Requirements, and so on.

  • RBAC audit logs now include information regarding creation and deletion of existing menu access and data access content.

  • Network Access and Admin Users audit logs now include information regarding creation, edition, and deletion of Network Access and Admin Users.

Posture State Synchronization

You can configure AnyConnect to probe Cisco ISE at specified intervals when the posture status is not compliant. This helps prevent a client from being stuck in pending state.

The posture state synchronization is supported for Windows, Linux, and MacOS clients.

For more information, see "Posture State Synchronization" in the Chapter "Compliance" in the Cisco ISE Administrator Guide, Release 3.1.

Obtain Configuration Backup Using Cisco Support Diagnostics Connector

You can use Cisco Support Diagnostics Connector to trigger configuration backup and upload the backup files to the Cisco Support Diagnostics folder. After uploading the backup files to the Cisco Support Diagnostics folder, you can delete the backup files from the Cisco ISE local disk. To use this feature, you must enable smart licensing and Cisco Support Diagnostics in Cisco ISE.

For more information, see "Obtain Configuration Backup Using Cisco Support Diagnostics Connector" in the Chapter "Troubleshoot" in the Cisco ISE Administrator Guide, Release 3.1.

Configuration of Authorization Result Alarm

You can configure alarms based on the results of authorization policies. This allows you to monitor the impact of any networking, infrastructure, or application changes on endpoint authorizations. You can define the scope of your alarms by choosing specific Network Device Groups (NDGs). For each NDG you choose, a new Authorization Result alarm is created.

You can filter the authorization logs to be monitored for an alarm by choosing specific authorization profiles and Security Group Tags (SGTs). Only endpoints that have met authorization policy sets with the specified authorization profiles and SGTs are monitored by the alarm.

For more information, see "Configure Authorization Result Alarm" in the Chapter "Troubleshoot" in the Cisco ISE Administrator Guide, Release 3.1.

Configuration of Preferred Domain Controllers

You can specify the domain controllers that you want to use in case of domain failover. If a domain fails, Cisco ISE compares the priority scores of the domain controllers that are added to the preferred list and selects the one with the highest priority score. If that domain controller is offline or is not reachable because of an issue, the next one in the preferred list with the highest priority score is used. If all the domain controllers in the preferred list are down, a domain controller outside the list is selected based on the priority score. When the domain controller that was used before the failover is restored, Cisco ISE switches back to that domain controller.

For more information, see "Configure Preferred Domain Controllers" in the Chapter "Asset Visibility" in the Cisco ISE Administrator Guide, Release 3.1.

Context Visibility Enhancements

  • In the Export Endpoints dialog box, you can now check the Importable Only check box if you want to export only the attributes that can be imported to Cisco ISE without any modification to the CSV file. Using this option prevents the need to modify the columns or metadata in the exported CSV file before importing it to Cisco ISE.

  • While using the Quick Filter or Advanced Filter option, you can use the Export Filtered option to export only the filtered endpoints.

For more information, see "Export Endpoints Using CSV File" in the Chapter "Asset Visibility" in the Cisco ISE Administrator Guide, Release 3.1.

Full Upgrade and Split Upgrade Options Added to Cisco ISE GUI

In the Administration > System > Upgrade> Upgrade Selection window, you can choose one of the following options based on your requirements:

  • Full Upgrade: Full upgrade is a multistep process that enables a complete upgrade of your Cisco ISE deployment sequentially. This upgrades all the nodes in parallel and in lesser time compared to the split upgrade process. Because all the nodes are upgraded parallelly, services will be down during the upgrade process.

  • Split Upgrade: Split upgrade is a multistep process that enables the upgrade of your Cisco ISE deployment while allowing services to remain available during the upgrade process for users. With the split upgrade option, you will be able to choose the nodes to be upgraded.

For more information, see "Upgrade a Cisco ISE Deployment from the GUI" in the Chapter "Upgrade Method" in Cisco Identity Services Engine Upgrade Journey, Release 3.1.

Cisco ISE on Amazon Web Services

You can launch a Cisco ISE instance on the Amazon Web Services (AWS) platform using a Cloud Formation Template (CFT) or an Amazon Machine Image (AMI).

For more information, see the Chapter "Install Cisco ISE with AmazonWeb Services" in Cisco ISE Installation Guide, Release 3.1.

Virtual Appliance Licenses

Cisco ISE Release 3.1 and later supports the ISE VM license, which replaces the VM Small, VM Medium, and VM Large licenses that were supported in releases prior to Release 3.1. The new ISE VM license covers the Cisco ISE VM nodes in both on-premises and cloud deployments.

For more information, see "Cisco ISE Licenses" in the Chapter "Licensing" in the Cisco ISE Administrator Guide for your release.

Download or Upload Files from Local Disk

You can easily add, download, or delete the files that are used for local disk management.

For more information, see "Download and Upload Files from Local Disk" in the Chapter "Maintain and Monitor" in the Cisco ISE Administrator Guide, Release 3.1.

MacOS Versions in Posture Policy Configurations

In Cisco ISE 3.0 and earlier, you could configure posture policies and requirements with minor MacOS versions such as MacOS 11.1, MacOS 11.2, and so on. In Cisco ISE 3.1, you can only choose major MacOS versions such as MacOS 11 (All) to configure posture policies and requirements.

When you upgrade to Cisco ISE 3.1, any posture condition that includes a minor MacOS version is automatically updated to the corresponding major MacOS version. For example, a posture condition that was configured for MacOS 11.1 will be updated to MacOS 11 (All).

OpenAPI Service

OpenAPIs are REST APIs based on HTTPS operating over port 443. From Cisco ISE 3.1 onwards, newer APIs are available in the OpenAPI format. For more information on Cisco ISE OpenAPIs, see https://<ise-ip>/api/swagger-ui/index.html.

The following OpenAPIs have been introduced in Cisco ISE 3.1:

  • Repository Management

  • Configuration Data Backup and Restore

  • Certificate Management

  • Policy Management

    • RADIUS Policy

    • TACACS+ Policy

For more information, see "Enable API Service" in the Chapter "Basic Setup" in Cisco ISE Administrator Guide, Release 3.1.

For more information, see the Chapter "Compliance" in Cisco ISE Administrator Guide, Release 3.1.

ERS Service Auto Enabled on VMware Cloud Environment

The External RESTful Services (ERS) API service is enabled by default when the Amazon Machine Image (AMI) version of Cisco ISE is deployed on a VMware Cloud environment. This helps in easy integration of Cisco ISE with other Cisco products and third-party applications, without the need to enable the ERS service from the Cisco ISE GUI.

For more information, see "Enable API Service" in the Chapter "Basic Setup" in the Cisco ISE Administrator Guide, Release 3.1.

pxGrid Client Auto Approval API

pxGrid can be used to share context-sensitive information from the Cisco ISE session directory with other network systems such as Cisco ISE ecosystem partner systems and other Cisco platforms. The pxGrid Client Auto Approval API can be used to:

  • Enable automatic approval of certificate-based connection requests from new pxGrid clients. Enable this option only when you trust all the clients in your environment.

  • Enable username or password-based authentication for the pxGrid clients. When this option is enabled, pxGrid clients cannot be automatically approved. A pxGrid client can register itself with the pxGrid controller by sending the username through a REST API. The pxGrid controller generates a password for the pxGrid client during client registration. An administrator can approve or deny the connection request.

For more information about the PxGrid Client Auto Approval API, see the “pxGrid Settings” section in the ERS SDK. You can access the ERS SDK with the following URL:

https://<ISE-Admin-Node>:9060/ers/sdk


Note


Only users with ERS Admin role can access the ERS SDK.


Configuration of Maximum Password Attempts for Active Directory Account

You can configure the badPwdCount attribute to prevent Active Directory account lockout due to too many bad password attempts. Before authenticating the user, Cisco ISE compares the maximum bad password attempts configured in Cisco ISE with the current value of the badPwdCount attribute on Active Directory. When the maximum bad password attempts configured in Cisco ISE is equal to the value of the badPwdCount attribute, the authentication is dropped and not sent to Active Directory.

For more information, see "Configure Maximum Password Attempts for AD Account" in the Chapter "Asset Visibility" in the Cisco ISE Administrator Guide, Release 3.1.

Handle Random and Changing MAC Addresses with Mobile Device Management Servers

As a privacy measure, mobile devices and some desktop operating systems increasingly use random and changing MAC addresses for each SSID that they connect to. In Cisco ISE, you can now work around this problem by configuring Cisco ISE to use a unique device identifier called GUID instead of MAC addresses. When an endpoint enrolls with a Mobile Device Management (MDM) server, the MDM server sends a certificate with a GUID value to the endpoint. The endpoint uses this certificate for authentication with Cisco ISE. Cisco ISE receives the GUID for the endpoint from the certificate. All communications between Cisco ISE and the MDM server now use the GUID to identify the endpoint, ensuring accuracy and consistency between the two systems.

For more information, see "Handle Random and Changing MAC Addresses With Mobile Device Management Servers" in the Chapter "Secure Wired Access" in Cisco ISE Administrator Guide, Release 3.1

MAC Randomization for BYOD

Android and iOS devices increasingly use random and changing MAC addresses for each SSID that they connect to. Cisco ISE and MDM systems see different MAC addresses for the same device depending on which SSID they use to connect to the service. Therefore, a unique identifier is generated by the Cisco ISE Provisioning service to identify these endpoints.

For more information, see "MAC Randomization for BYOD" in the Chapter "Basic Setup" in Cisco ISE Administrator Guide, Release 3.1.

Endpoint API Enhancement

The logicalProfileName filter can be used to get endpoints that belong to a specific Logical Profile. The supported operator for logicalProfileNamefilter is EQ (equal to). The syntax to invoke the API with this filter is:

/ers/config/endpoint?filter={filter name}.{operator}.{logical profile name}

For more information, see Cisco ISE API Reference Guide.

Posture Script Remediation

You can create and upload posture remediation scripts to Cisco ISE to resolve non-compliance issues in endpoints.

For more information, see "Add a Script Remediation" in the Chapter "Compliance" in Cisco ISE Administrator Guide, Release 3.1.

RHEL 8.2 Support

Cisco ISE runs on the Cisco Application Deployment Engine Operating System (ADEOS), which is based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). For Cisco ISE 3.1, ADEOS is based on RHEL 8.2.

RHEL 8.2 supports the following VMware ESXi versions:

  • VMware ESXi 6.5

  • VMware ESXi 6.5 U1

  • VMware ESXi 6.5 U2

  • VMware ESXi 6.5 U3

  • VMware ESXi 6.7

  • VMware ESXi 6.7 U1

  • VMware ESXi 6.7 U2

  • VMware ESXi 6.7 U3

  • VMware ESXi 7.0

  • VMware ESXi 7.0 U1

  • VMware ESXi 7.0 U2

  • VMware ESXi 8.0

For more information, see the Chapter "Overview" in Cisco Identity Services Engine Upgrade Journey, Release 3.1.

SAML-Based Admin Login

SAML-based admin login adds a single sign on capability to Cisco ISE using the SAML 2.0 standard. You can use an external Identity Provider such as Okta or any Identity Provider that implements SAML 2.0.

For more information, see "SAML-based Admin Login" in the Chapter "‘Asset Visibility" in Cisco ISE Administrator Guide, Release 3.1.

Specific License Reservation

Specific License Reservation is a smart licensing method that helps you manage your smart licensing when your organization's security requirements do not allow a persistent connection between Cisco ISE and the Cisco Smart Software Manager (CSSM). Specific License Reservation allows you to reserve specific license entitlements on a Cisco ISE node.

You can create a Specific License Reservation by defining the type and number of licenses you need to reserve, and then activate the reservation on a Cisco ISE node. The Cisco ISE node on which you register and enable the reservation then tracks license usage and enforces license consumption compliance.

For more information, see "Specific License Reservation" in the Chapter "Licensing" in the Cisco ISE Administrator Guide, Release 3.1.

Upgrade to pxGrid 2.0

From Cisco ISE Release 3.1, all pxGrid connections must be based on pxGrid 2.0. pxGrid 1.0-based (XMPP-based) integrations will cease to work on Cisco ISE from Release 3.1 onwards.

pxGrid Version 2.0, which is based on WebSockets, was introduced in Cisco ISE Release 2.4. We recommend that you plan and upgrade your other systems to pxGrid 2.0-compliant versions in order to prevent potential disruptions, if any, to integrations.

For more information, see the Chapter "pxGrid" in Cisco ISE Administrator Guide, Release 3.1.


Note


The output of show application status ise command reflects only the status of pxGrid 1.0 services.


Zero Touch Provisioning

Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP) refers to the uninterrupted provisioning mechanism that helps to automate Cisco ISE installation, infrastructure service enablement, patching, and hot patching without manual intervention.

For more information, see "Zero Touch Provisioning" in the Chapter "Additional Installation Information" in Cisco ISE Installation Guide, Release 3.1.

Validated OpenSSL Version

Cisco ISE 3.1 is validated with OpenSSL 1.1.1k.

OpenSSL Update Requires CA:True in CA Certificates

For a certificate to be defined as a CA certificate, the certificate must contain the following property:

basicConstraints=CA:TRUE

This property is mandatory to comply with recent OpenSSL updates.

Known Limitations and Workarounds

This section provides information about the various known limitations and the corresponding workarounds.

Microsoft Compliance Retrieval API Support for Ethernet MAC Address-based APIs

Microsoft Compliance Retrieval API currently does not support the Ethernet MAC attribute for MAC address-based APIs. This limitation will be addressed by Microsoft in January 2024. For wired deployments, we recommended that you to migrate to GUID-embedded certificates before upgrading to the following patches: Cisco ISE Release 3.1 Patch 8, Cisco ISE Release 3.2 Patch 4, or Cisco ISE Release 3.3 Patch 1.

Incorrect Smart Licensing Consumption Reports

After you upgrade to Cisco ISE Release 3.1 Patches 5 or 6, if your smart licensing configuration uses the connection methods Direct HTTPS or HTTPS Proxy, you may witness incorrect compliance statuses being reported. Incorrect license consumption counts may be reported due to a communication error between Cisco ISE and CSSM.

To troubleshoot the communication error, in the Licensing window of the Cisco ISE administration portal, deregister and then reregister your smart licensing.

CSCwc74531 Hot Patch Affects Cisco ISE Application Server

Installing the CSCwc74531 hot patch affects the Cisco ISE application server if all the following conditions are met:

  • You installed Cisco ISE Release 3.1 using the ise-3.1.0.518.SPA.x86_64.iso file

  • You are running Cisco ISE Release 3.1 Patch 3 or earlier

  • You have applied Log4j hot patch

In this scenario, reach out to Cisco TAC for node recovery.

We recommend that you upgrade to Patch 5 or later versions instead of applying the Log4j or CSCwc74531 hot patches while using Cisco ISE Release 3.1 Patch 3 or earlier.

If you have installed Cisco ISE Release 3.1 using the ise-3.1.0.518b.SPA.x86_64.iso file, this limitation does not affect your Cisco ISE.

Antimalware Condition for ClamWin Products

You might see the following error message while trying to add an antimalware condition for ClamWin Pty Ltd vendor:

class com.cisco.cpm.posture.exceptions.PostureException:Check am_linux_def_v4_ClamWinPtyLtd is not found

When multiple ClamWin products with 0.x version are listed in the Baseline Condition tab, if you select any of those products and configure an antimalware condition, the above error message might be displayed.

In such a scenario, you must run the posture feed update one or more times to remove the multiple entries for 0.x version.

As a workaround, you can select a product from the Advanced Condition tab and configure an antimalware condition for ClamWin Pty Ltd vendor.

Authentication Might Fail for SNMP Users After Upgrade due to Wrong Hash Value

If you are upgrading from Cisco ISE 2.7 or earlier release to Cisco ISE 3.1, you must reconfigure the settings for SNMP users after the upgrade. Otherwise, authentication might fail for SNMP users because of wrong hash value.

Use the following commands to reconfigure the settings for SNMPv3 users:

no snmp-server user <snmp user> <snmp version> <auth password> <priv password>

snmp-server user <snmp user> <snmp version> <auth password> <priv password>

Special Characters Usage Limitations in Name and Description Fields

  • These special characters cannot be used in the Description field for TACACS+ profiles and Device Administration Network conditions—[%\<>*^:"|',=/()$.@;&-!#{}.?]. Supported characters are alphanumeric, underscore, and space.

  • These special characters cannot be used in the Name and Description fields for Authorization profiles—%\<>*^:\"|',=. Supported characters for the Name and Description fields are alphanumeric, hyphen, dot, underscore, and space.

  • These special characters cannot be used in the Name and Description fields for Time and Date conditions—[%\#$&()~+*@{}!/?;:',=^`]"<>". Supported characters for the Name and Description fields are alphanumeric, hyphen, dot, underscore, and space.

Make a Wish Option not Available in Japanese

If you have configured your localization settings to enable Japanese in your Cisco ISE, note that the Make a Wish option will not be available in Japanese.

Radius Logs for Authentication

Details of an authentication event can be viewed in the Details field of the Radius Authentications window. The details of an authentication event are available only for 7 days, after which no data on the authentication event will be visible. All the authentication log data will be removed when a purge is triggered.

Server IP Update Under Trustsec AAA Server List

When the IP address of the Cisco ISE instance is changed using the CLI, Cisco ISE services are restarted. After the services are up, you must change the IP address of the Trustsec AAA server. In the Cisco ISE GUI, click the Menu icon () and choose Workcenters > TrustSec > Components > Trustsec Servers > Trustsec AAA Servers.

EAP-TLS Authentication Might Fail for Certificates Using TPM Module

In Cisco ISE Release 3.1, EAP-TLS authentication might fail for certificates using TPM module on Windows 10. This is an issue with the TPM module and not with Cisco ISE.

From Cisco ISE Release 3.1 Patch 6, the configuration option
application configure ise
in the Cisco ISE Admin CLI to enable or disable the current status of RSA_PSS signature for EAP TLS. It is as follows:
[33]Enable/Disable/Current_status of RSA_PSS signature for EAP-TLS.

3.1P8 SLR registered Node shows SL registered post patch rollback

If you install Cisco ISE Release 3.1 Patch 8 or later releases on a Cisco ISE node, enable Specific License Registration (SLR), and then roll back to an earlier release, the node is automatically registered to Smart Licensing (SL) instead of SLR. In this case, you cannot return SLR because deregistration or update operations will not work due to incorrect licensing configuration. This issue can be resolved through TAC intervention.

To avoid this, you must return SLR before rolling back to an earlier release. Each node has a unique code that you must submit in the Cisco Smart Software Manager (CSSM) to return SLR. If you had enabled SLR before installing Cisco ISE Release 3.1 Patch 8 or later, you do not have to return SLR before rolling back to an earlier release.

Upgrade Information

Upgrading to Release 3.1

You can directly upgrade to Release 3.1 from the following Cisco ISE releases:

  • 2.6

  • 2.7

  • 3.0

If you are on a version earlier than Cisco ISE, Release 2.6, you must first upgrade to one of the releases listed above, and then upgrade to Release 3.1.

We recommend that you upgrade to the latest patch in the existing version before starting the upgrade.

Cisco ISE 3.1 has parity with 2.6 Patch 9, 2.7 Patch 4​, and 3.0 Patch 2.

Upgrade Procedure Prerequisites

  • Run the Upgrade Readiness Tool (URT) before the upgrade to check whether the configured data can be upgraded to the required Cisco ISE version. Most upgrade failures occur because of data upgrade issues. The URT validates the data before the actual upgrade and reports the issues, if any. The URT can be downloaded from the Cisco ISE Download Software Center.

  • We recommend that you install all the relevant patches before beginning the upgrade.

For more information, see the Cisco Identity Services Engine Upgrade Guide.

Telemetry

After installation, when you log in to the Admin portal for the first time, the Cisco ISE Telemetry banner is displayed. Using this feature, Cisco ISE securely collects nonsensitive information about your deployment, network access devices, profiler, and other services that you are using. This data will be used to provide better services and more features in the forthcoming releases. By default, telemetry is enabled. To disable or modify the account information, choose Administration > Settings > Network Settings Diagnostics > Telemetry. The account is unique for each deployment. Each admin user need not provide it separately.

It may take up to 24 hours after the Telemetry feature is disabled for Cisco ISE to stop sharing telemetry data.

Types of data collected include Product Usage Telemetry and Cisco Support Diagnostics.

Cisco Support Diagnostics

The Cisco Support Diagnostics Connector enables Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) and Cisco support engineers to obtain support information on the deployment through the primary administration node. By default, this feature is disabled. See the Cisco Identity Services Engine Administrator Guide for instructions on how to enable this feature.

Cisco ISE Live Update Portals

Cisco ISE Live Update portals help you to automatically download the Supplicant Provisioning wizard, AV/AS support (Compliance Module), and agent installer packages that support client provisioning and posture policy services. These live update portals are configured in Cisco ISE during the initial deployment to retrieve the latest client provisioning and posture software directly from Cisco.com to the corresponding device using Cisco ISE.

If the default Update portal URL is not reachable and your network requires a proxy server, configure the proxy settings. In the Cisco ISE GUI, click the Menu icon () and choose Administration > System > Settings > Proxy before you access the Live Update portals. If proxy settings allow access to the profiler, posture, and client-provisioning feeds, access to a Mobile Device Management (MDM) server is blocked because Cisco ISE cannot bypass the proxy services for MDM communication. To resolve this, you can configure the proxy services to allow communication to the MDM servers. For more information on proxy settings, see the "Specify Proxy Settings in Cisco ISE" section in the Cisco Identity Services Engine Administrator Guide.

Client Provisioning and Posture Live Update Portals

You can download Client Provisioning resources from:

In the Cisco ISE GUI, click the Menu icon () and choose Work Centers > Posture > Settings > Software Updates > Client Provisioning.

The following software elements are available at this URL:

  • Supplicant Provisioning wizards for Windows and Mac OS X native supplicants

  • Windows versions of the latest Cisco ISE persistent and temporal agents

  • Mac OS X versions of the latest Cisco ISE persistent agents

Cisco ISE Integration with Cisco Catalyst Center

Cisco ISE can integrate with Cisco Cisco Catalyst Center. For information about configuring Cisco ISE to work with Cisco Catalyst Center, see the Cisco DNA Center documentation.

For information about Cisco ISE compatibility with Cisco Catalyst Center, see the Cisco SD-Access Compatibility Matrix.

Cisco AI Endpoint Analytics

Cisco AI Endpoint Analytics is a solution on Cisco DNA Center that improves endpoint profiling fidelity. It provides fine-grained endpoint identification and assigns labels to various endpoints. Information gathered through deep-packet inspection, and probes from sources such as Cisco ISE, Cisco SD-AVC, and network devices, is analyzed for endpoint profiling.

Cisco AI Endpoint Analytics also uses artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning capabilities to intuitively group endpoints with similar attributes. IT administrators can review such groups and assign labels to them. These endpoint labels are then available in Cisco ISE if your Cisco ISE account is connected to on-premises Cisco DNA Center.

These endpoint labels from Cisco AI Endpoint Analytics can be used by Cisco ISE administrators to create custom authorization policies. You can provide the right set of access privileges to endpoints or endpoint groups through such authorization policies.

Install a New Patch

For instructions on how to apply the patch to your system, see the "Cisco ISE Software Patches" section in the Cisco Identity Services Engine Upgrade Journey.

For instructions on how to install a patch using CLI, see the "Patch Install" section in the Cisco Identity Services Engine CLI Reference Guide.


Note


If you have installed a hot patch on your previous Cisco ISE Release, you must roll back the hot patch before installing a patch. Otherwise, the services might not be started due to integrity check security issue.


Caveats

The Caveats section includes the bug ID and a short description of the bug. For details on the symptoms, conditions, and workaround for a specific caveat, use the Cisco Bug Search Tool (BST).


Note


The Open Caveats sections list the open caveats that apply to the current release and might apply to releases earlier than Cisco ISE 3.1. A caveat that is open for an earlier release and is still unresolved applies to all future releases until it is resolved.


New Features in Cisco ISE Release 3.1 - Cumulative Patch 8

Microsoft Intune Ends Support for UDID-Based Queries for Its MDM Integrations

From March 24, 2024, Microsoft Intune will not support UDID-based queries for its MDM integrations, as detailed in this Field Notice. The Cisco ISE APIs that fetch required endpoint information from Microsoft Intune MDM integrations have changed in response to this end of support.

From Cisco ISE Release 3.1 Patch 8, Microsoft Intune only provides the following endpoint details in response to compliance APIs:

  • Device compliance status

  • Managed by Intune

  • MAC address

  • Registration status

For more information on these changes, see Integrate MDM and UEM Servers with Cisco ISE.

Wi-Fi Device Analytics Data from Cisco Catalyst 9800 Wireless LAN Controller

You can create profiling policies, authorization conditions, and authentication conditions and policies for Apple, Intel, and Samsung endpoints, using device analytics data from the Cisco Wireless LAN Controllers integrated with your Cisco ISE.

For more information, see "Wi-Fi Device Analytics Data from Cisco Catalyst 9800 Wireless LAN Controller" in the Chapter "Asset Visibility" in the Cisco ISE Administration Guide, Release 3.1.

Support for Cisco Secure Network Server 3700 Series Appliance

The Cisco Secure Network Server (SNS) 3700 series appliances are based on the Cisco Unified Computing System (Cisco UCS) C220 Rack Server and are configured specifically to support Cisco ISE. Cisco SNS 3700 series appliances are designed to deliver high performance and efficiency for a wide range of workloads.

The Cisco SNS 3700 series appliances are available in the following models:

  • Cisco SNS 3715 (SNS-3715-K9)

  • Cisco SNS 3755 (SNS-3755-K9)

  • Cisco SNS 3795 (SNS-3795-K9)

Cisco SNS 3715 appliance is designed for small deployments. Cisco SNS 3755 and Cisco SNS 3795 appliances have several redundant components such as hard disks and power supplies and are suitable for larger deployments that require highly reliable system configurations.

For more information, see the Cisco Secure Network Server 3700 Series Appliance Hardware Installation Guide.


Note


Cisco ISE 3.1 patch 6 and later versions support Cisco SNS 3700 series appliances. Hence, you cannot rollback to ISE 3.1 after installing the first patch (ISE 3.1 patch 6 or later) on an SNS 3700 series appliance. Rollback will fail in this case. You can re-install ISE 3.1 patch 6 or later from the CLI to recover the node.

Enhancement to the Groups tab in the REST Identity Store

You can now retrieve, filter, and delete REST identity store groups while configuring Resource Owner Password Credentials in Cisco ISE.

While adding the groups, click Retrieve Groups to import the user groups from the connected identity source. Check the check boxes next to the groups that you want to select and click Save. You can also select all the groups, if needed. The selected groups are listed in the Groups tab.

You can filter the results using the filter option.

To delete a user group, check the check box next to the group that you want to delete and click Delete.

For more information, see "Configure Resource Owner Password Credentials Flow" in the Chapter "Asset Visibility" in the Cisco ISE Administrator Guide, Release 3.1

.

Changes to IP Default Gateway Require Restart

Cisco ISE 3.1 Patch 4 onwards, when you add or change a gateway, the CLI warns the administrator that service restart may be required, and proceeds to execute the comand only if the Yes option is selected.

Open Caveats in Cisco ISE Release 3.1 - Cumulative Patch 4

The following table lists the open caveats in Release 3.1 - Cumulative Patch 4

Bug ID Description
CSCwc62413 Cisco Identity Services Engine Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability.

CSCwh92366

In 3.1 Patch 8: Observing Insufficient Virtual Machine Resource Alarm in 3.1Patch 8 Longevity setup.

New Features in Cisco ISE, Release 3.1 - Cumulative Patch 3

Support for Cisco pxGrid Cloud

Cisco ISE 3.1 patch 3 supports Cisco pxGrid Cloud. Cisco pxGrid Cloud is a new Cisco cloud offer that extends pxGrid, ERS and OpenAPI access to cloud-based applications. To allow connectivity between a Cisco ISE deployment and Cisco pxGrid Cloud, pxGrid Cloud service must be enabled on one or more pxGrid nodes in the Cisco ISE deployment. For more information on Cisco pxGrid Cloud, see Cisco pxGrid Cloud Solution Guide.

Update of OCSP Responder Certificates

From Cisco ISE Release 3.1 Cumulative Patch 3 onwards, the following rules are applicable for the renewal of OCSP certificates:

  • For a multi-node Cisco ISE deployment, OCSP certificates are renewed automatically if you install the patch through the Cisco ISE GUI. If you install the patch through the Cisco ISE CLI, we recommend you to renew the OCSP certificate manually.

  • For a standalone Cisco ISE deployment, OCSP certificates are renewed automatically irrespective of whether you install the patch through the Cisco ISE GUI or the Cisco ISE CLI.

  • If you uninstall Patch 3, you have to renew the OCSP certificate manually.

    This one-time OCSP certificate renewal process is because of the change in certificate hierarchy. For more information, see Update of OCSP Responder Certificates in the "Basic Setup" chapter of the Cisco Identity Services Engine Administrator Guide, Release 3.1.

Microsoft Intune Integration Changes Due to Microsoft Graph Updates

Microsoft is deprecating Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) Graph and will not support Azure AD Graph-enabled integrations after June 30, 2022. You must migrate any integrations that use Azure AD Graph to Microsoft Graph. Cisco ISE typically uses the Azure AD Graph for integration with the endpoint management solution Microsoft Intune.

For more information on the migration from Azure AD Graph to Microsoft Graph, see the following resources:

Cisco ISE Release 3.1 Patch 3 supports Microsoft Intune integrations that use Microsoft Graph. To avoid any disruption in the integration between Cisco ISE and Microsoft Intune, update your Cisco ISE to Cisco ISE Release 3.1 Patch 3. Then, update your Cisco ISE integration in Microsoft Azure to use Microsoft Graph instead of Azure AD Graph, before June 30, 2022. In Cisco ISE, you must update your Microsoft Intune integrations to update the Auto Discovery URL field—Replace https://graph.windows.net<Directory (tenant) ID> with https://graph.microsoft.com.

See Connect Microsoft Intune to Cisco ISE as a Mobile Device Management Server for more information on the configuration steps.

Opening TAC Support Cases in Cisco ISE

You can now open TAC Support Cases for Cisco ISE and other Cisco products from the Cisco ISE GUI.

For more information, see "Open TAC Support Cases in Cisco ISE" in the Chapter "Troubleshoot" in Cisco ISE Administrator Guide, Release 3.1.

SHA1 Ciphers Disabled by Default

From Cisco ISE Relase 3.1 Patch 2, SHA1 ciphers on port 443 are disabled by default.

Cisco ISE 3.1 Files Replaced on Software Download Site

Cisco ISE 3.1 OVA, ISO, and upgrade bundle files have been replaced on the Cisco ISE Software Download site.

What Changes are Made?

  • The following bugs are resolved in this build:

    • CSCwa04370: ISE 3.1 shows incorrect outgoing interface for the default interface if two interfaces are configured with IP addresses and the default gateway references the subnet on eth1

    • CSCwa82553: ISE 3.1 default route is on the incorrect interface if bonding is configured

  • Option to skip ICMP, DNS, and NTP checks in the ZTP tool. For more information, see "Zero Touch Provisioning" in the Chapter "Additional Installation Information" in Cisco ISE Installation Guide, Release 3.1.


Note


  • The filenames of the new files will have "b" appended to the build number (for example, ise-3.1.0.518b.SPA.x86_64.iso).

  • If you want to import the SNS 3695 OVA template to the VMware vCenter content library, you can use the ISE-3.x.x.xxx-virtual-SNS3695-1800.ova template. This OVA template is similar to the ISE-3.x.x.xxx-virtual-SNS3695-2400.ova template, except for the reserved disk size, which has been reduced from 2400 GB to 1800 GB to workaround a limitation in the Vmware vCenter content library that prevents import of OVAs with disk size larger than 2 TB.
