  • 1.  CPPM 6.12.5 not sending CoA-Disconnect messages even though Access Tracker shows the message was created

    Posted Sep 18, 2025 10:21 AM

    I have an enforcement profile that is supposed to send a RFC3576 Disconnect-Request:

    The Access Tracker shows that it processed the profile and generated the request:

    And the Access Tracker log shows no problems generating the message and shows this:

    2025-09-18 08:09:28,348    [RequestHandler-1-0x7ff6453e9700 h=345 c=W00000001-01-68cbf677] DEBUG Core.PETaskRadiusCoAEnfProfileBuilder - sendRadiusCoAResponse: Sending CoAEnfRequest={"content":{"cnc_actions":{"display_name":"Terminate Session - Custom","id":1,"name":"Meraki-Terminate-Session","params":{"name":"Calling-Station-Id","value":"B8-31-B5-87-2D-2D"},{"name":"Acct-Session-Id","value":"09CC655335FEE694"},{"name":"Event-Timestamp","value":"1758197368"},{"name":"NAS-IP-Address","value":"10.28.128.209"}],"type":"RADIUS"}],"mac_address":"b831b5872d2d"},"id":"R00000000-01-68cbf653","name":"cnc_request"}

    2025-09-18 08:09:28,348    [RequestHandler-1-0x7ff6453e9700 h=345 c=W00000001-01-68cbf677] DEBUG Core.PETaskRadiusCoAEnfProfileBuilder - sendRadiusCoAResponse: Done sending the CoAEnfRequest

    But a packet trace on ClearPass shows no evidence that the CoA-Disconnect message was sent.

    Has anyone else seen this issue and found a solution?

    I found similar issues in other forum posts, but no solution was mentioned.

    Is there a low-level log on CPPM that might indicate why it didn't send the packet after building it?

    Thanks in advance for any advice.

    If you, just for the test, change to one of the built in Dynamic authorization profiles, do you get the same behavior or is it just with this profile?

    What does the XML for that DynAuth profile look like?

    Thanks for all the replies!

    As it turns out, for some as-yet unknown reason, removing the custom profile I created and using the [Cisco - Reauthenticate-Session] profile instead allows it to work.  I don't understand it, but I'll take the win and hope for clearer understanding in the future.

    The most likely reason is because of a mismatch in the vendor ID, which is why I'd asked you to share the XML.
