Password Safe & Cisco ISE - Unsupported MAC Algorithms

Does anyone else face an issue with not being able to SSH from Password Safe to network devices running Cisco ISE after an update to Cisco ISE 17.10+?

The reason is that from that version onwards, Cisco ISE only supports hmac-sha2-256-etm@openssh.com & hmac-sha2-512-etm@openssh.com as default MAC algorithms, which are not supported by Password Safe. The devices are running in a special SD-WAN controller mode where it is not possible to enable additional algorithms.

It would be interesting to know if anyone has been in a similar situation and how the problem could be resolved.

    Hi!

    I faced a similar issue a time ago. In my case we faced the issue after a fortinet upgrade. We fixed the issue adding a new registry key and after reboot appliances.

     

    Try with BeyondInsight / Password Safe - ERROR: SSH client: No matching key exchange algorithm found - No matching cipher found - No matching MAC algorithm found (service-now.com)
