This is off the cuff, but in the past I’ve had issues with Cisco WLCs taking 
CoAs when the Event-Timestamp attribute was present.

thx,

Subject: [WIRELESS-LAN] Advanced NAC question regarding RFC3587 (Change of 
Authorization)

We currently use Extreme Network Access Control.  We have had this for 14 years 
and it works very well.  We integrated it with Aruba wireless years ago, and we 
are able to send back filter IDs on the initial authentication to change roles, 
as well as issue disconnects to the user, forcing them to reauthenticate to 
their new policy (for example, a user is online and doing something bad, we 
send a disconnect message to the controllers and the user reconnects and 
authenticates with the new role).

We are now having to integrate with another institutions Cisco wireless 
controllers.  We have the authentication stuff working great.  But we are 
unable to get the disconnect/CoA to work.  We believe we have the correct 
format (xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx) and we are utilizing the correct port for 3587 (I 
think it is UDP 3799 off the top of my head).  We are getting back NAKs, and 
the message indicated is ‘invalid attributes’.  We aren’t sure what attributes 
to send back for the disconnect.  Obviously the other third party NACs have to 
do this correctly, but I’ve been unable to find documentation.  Extreme has 
some old documentation, but it appears wrong.  Any experts out there on this?  
Anyone willing to do a reauthentication from their NAC to their controllers and 
send us the packet trace?  If we know what attributes you are sending, that is 
likely what we need to make this work.

I’ve opened a ticket to Extreme, and I’ve asked the other institution to open a 
ticket with Cisco.  But this may get me results quicker.

Thanks!
