Enrolling Cisco ASA for certificates via SCEP


1. Install CA cert

ciscoasa(config)# crypto ca trustpoint CA
ciscoasa(config-ca-trustpoint)# revocation-check crl
ciscoasa(config-ca-trustpoint)# enrollment url http://10.0.0.6/certsrv/mscep/mscep.dll
ciscoasa(config)# crypto ca authenticate CA 

 Debug output:
CRYPTO_PKI: HTTP response header:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Length: 4170
Content-Type: application/x-x509-ca-ra-cert
Server: Microsoft-IIS/8.0
Date: Mon, 29 Apr 2013 11:13:14 GMT
Connection: close

 Content-Type indicates we have received CA and RA certificates.

 CRYPTO_PKI:crypto_process_ca_ra_cert(trustpoint=CA)

 INFO: Certificate has the following attributes:

 Fingerprint:     537adc87 22cc6e2b 07fdf2e0 18d8ba8b
The PKCS #7 message contains 4 certificates.

 CRYPTO_PKI:crypto_pkcs7_extract_ca_cert found cert
CRYPTO_PKI: transaction GetCACert completed
CRYPTO_PKI: CA certificate received.
CRYPTO_PKI: crypto_pki_authenticate_tp_cert()
CRYPTO_PKI: trustpoint CA authentication status = 0
Trustpoint 'CA' is a subordinate CA and holds a non self-signed certificate.
Trustpoint CA certificate accepted.
CRYPTO_PKI: Verifying certificate with serial number: 4D00000002924DEC093140270B000000000002, subject name: cn=IssuingCA-DC1,dc=kp,dc=local, issuer_name: cn=ORCA1-CA, signature alg: SHA1/RSA.


2. Request and install identity certificate:

 Depending on SCEP server configuration, a challenge password may be required to obtain certificate  In Microsoft's SCEP implementation - NDES - we browse to 
http://scepserver /CertSrv/mscep_admin to obtain the password

ASA config:
ciscoasa(config)# crypto ca trustpoint CA
ciscoasa(config-ca-trustpoint)# keypair testKey
ciscoasa(config-ca-trustpoint)#password C972703054ED1301
ciscoasa(config)# crypto ca enroll CA
% Start certificate enrollment ..
% The fully-qualified domain name in the certificate will be: ciscoasa.kp.local
% Include the device serial number in the subject name? [yes/no]: yes
% The serial number in the certificate will be: 123456789AB
Request certificate from CA? [yes/no]: yes


Debug output:


CRYPTO_PKI: Found a subject match - inserting the following cert record into certList
CRYPTO_PKI: Found a subject match - inserting the following cert record into certList
CRYPTO_PKI: Found a subject match - inserting the following cert record into certListThe certificate has been granted by CA!

x.509 Certificates - Critical vs non-critical extensions

Extensions are used to associate additional information with the user or the key.  Each certificate extension has three attributes - extnID, critical, extnValue extnID - Extension ID - an OID that specifies the format and definitions of the extension critical - Critical flag - Boolean value extnValue - Extension value  Criticality flag specifies whether the information in an extension is important. If an application doesn't recognize the extension marked as critical, the certificate cannot be accepted. If an extension is not marked as critical (critical value False) it can be ignored by an application. In Windows, critical extensions are marked with a yellow exclamation mark,  View certificate extensions using OpenSSL: # openssl x509 -inform pem -in cert.pem -text -noout (output abbreviated)         X509v3 extensions:             X509v3 Key Usage: critical                 Digital Signature, Key Encipherment             X509v3 Subject Key Identifier

Count number of lines - 'findstr'

How do I count number of lines in a command output? findstr /r/n "^" | find /c ":" Above commands will display number of lines output by whatever command (well, nearly whatever) you specify in the front.  For example:  C:\>ping localhost | findstr /r/n "^" | find /c ":" FINDSTR: // ignored 12 This comes handy if you want to find out how many OUs you have in Active Directory: dsquery ou  -limit 0 | findstr /r/n "^" | find /c ":" How many user accounts there are: dsquery user -limit 0 | findstr /r/n "^" | find /c ":" Computers: dsquery computer -limit | findstr /r/n "^" | find /c ":"

Cisco ASA Certificate Revocation Checking

ASA supports status verification using CRLs and OCSP. CRL can be retrieved using HTTP, LDAP or SCEP. Revocation checking using CRL: Over HTTP: ciscoasa(config)# crypto ca trustpoint ASDM_TrustPoint2 ciscoasa(config-ca-trustpoint)# revocation-check crl ciscoasa(config-ca-crl)# protocol http By default ASA will use address listed in CDP extension of the certificate that is being validated.  To override default behaviour we need to add the following in the CRL configuration context. ciscoasa(config-ca-crl)# policy static ciscoasa(config-ca-crl)# url 1 http://cdpurl.kp.local/crl.crl Over LDAP: Certificate I'm using for this lab, doesn't have LDAP address in its CDP extension. Therefore I'm using "policy static"  to specify LDAP URL where CRL can be retrieved.  ciscoasa(config)# crypto ca trustpoint ASDM_TrustPoint2 ciscoasa(config-ca-trustpoint)# revocation-check crl ciscoasa(config-ca-trustpoint)# crl configure ciscoasa
