Install External Certificate Authority (CA)
Install External Certificate Authority (CA) on Cisco ISE | CSR in ISE | Windows 2012 R2
Today we are gonna have a look at Installing External CA's Signed Certificate on Cisco ISE
Essentially, the goal of this Lab is to see how we get rid of the certificate issues while accessing or communicating with Cisco ISE using an external Certificate Authority Server for certificate signing , which will be Windows 2012 in our case.
The end result will be that you won't be getting HTTPS errors or essentially “Certificate errors” while accessing Cisco ISE via the GUI & alongside that, we can use the same certificate for Authentication purposes for any mechanism that uses TLS.
Why Certificate or HTTPS Errors occur?
================================
The most common one is that your device like windows & android have literally trust issues
How this works is that, All of the devices have a Trusted Root certificate store in which a bunch of trusted CA’s of the world exist. Any certificate presented to the device that has their stamp of approval on it, will essentially pass the untrusted root CA error which is the most common for HTTPS or Certificate errors.
But there are many more reasons you might get an HTTPS or certificate error, for example.
InValid VA error (which we just discussed)
Common name invalid (Caused by mismatch in domain names & common names)
Weak Signature error ( caused by weak algorithms i.e SHA1 used instead of SHA2)
Expired Certificate error, that’s kind a self explaining
So Our main focus in the lab will be on the Root Certificate issue alongside the common name problem that may occur.
Now Basically, three key players are present in the lab, namely, Windows 10 Machine acting as the client, The Cisco ISE server itself & the WIndows Server 2012 acting as the Certificate Authority Server.
Neither the ISE Nor the Windows Machine know about this CA server yet, so they don’t trust it.
For the action items of this lab, we are going to download & install the CA’s certificate into the Trusted Certificate Authority store of the windows 10 Machine, so that from here on out, it trusts any certificate that has this CA’s approval or sign on it.
Next up just like the Windows machine, ISE too has a Trusted Certificate Authority Store called “Trusted Certificates” & before we move on to Signing ISE’s certificate from it, it needs to be present there as a trusted CA entity. So we will be installing the same Certificate on ISE as well.
Lastly CIsco ISE will generate a CSR or a Certificate Signing Request & get it signed from the CA & Finally we will move on to the installation of that certificate stamped by the CA that both the Windows & ISE trust.
