Cisco ASA VPN and SNMP

$

Since the ASA devices do not current allow us to access the crasUsername OID, Cisco has offered a work around o fusing the OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.392.1.3.21.1.2, and then parsing/converting the ASCII portion to a user name.

 

I am a dunce when it comes to using the Universal Device Polling interface - I am lucky I have any of the pollers I use function - but - I REALLY would like to be able to show the actual users names that are connected via VPN (as would the helpdesk here).

 

SO -  based on the link here - ASA RA VPN user information using SNMP - Cisco Support Community, we need to an ASCII conversion.. And now I am lost.  How do we create a transformation poller in Orion to convert this stuff?

 

Here is the example they use -

  1. snmpwalk.exe -c public -v 2c 192.168.16.xx "1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.392.1.3.21.1.2"

 

SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.9.9.392.1.3.21.1.2.8.97.115.116.114.105.112.97.116.290817 = STRING: "puneet"

 

 

This tells us the name of "tunnel-group" and the "username" used to connect to the ASA.

 

 

In this output “puneet” is the name of the tunnel-group.

Now we need to Convert name from ASCII based indexing

 

 

 

  1. 9.9.392.1.3.21.1.2.8.97.115.116.114.105.112.97.116.290817

                                     a      s      t      r     i       p      a      t

 

ASCII translation:

 

  97 = a

115 = s

116 = t

114 = r

105 = i

112 = p

  97 = a

116 = t

 

 

Any suggestions/assistance appritiated.
