Configuring an External Server for Authorization and Authentication


This appendix describes how to configure an external LDAP or RADIUS server to support the authentication and authorization of security appliance, VPN3000, and PIX users. Authentication determines who the user is and authorization determines what the user can do. Before you configure the security appliance to use an external server, you must configure the server with the correct security appliance authorization attributes and, from a subset of these attributes, assign specific permissions to individual users.

Selecting LDAP, RADIUS, or Local Authentication and Authorization

To help you decide which authentication or authorization method is right for your platform, this section describes the LDAP and RADIUS support provided with the security appliance (ASA), PIX, and the VPN 3000 platforms.

LDAP Authentication

Supported on PIX 7.1.x and the security appliance only. VPN 3000 does not support native LDAP authentication. The LDAP server retrieves and searches for the username and enforces any defined attributes as part of the authorization function.

LDAP Authorization

Supported on PIX, VPN 3000, and the security appliance. The LDAP server retrieves/searches the username and enforces any defined attributes.

RADIUS Authentication

Supported on PIX, VPN 3000, and the security appliance. The RADIUS server retrieves/searches the username and enforces any defined attributes as it performs the authorization function.

RADIUS Authorization

Supported on PIX, VPN 3000, and the security appliance. The RADIUS server retrieves/searches the username and enforces any defined attributes.

Local Authentication

Supported on PIX, VPN 3000, and the security appliance. The Local/Internal server retrieves/searches the username and enforces any defined attributes as part of the authorization function.

Local Authorization

Supported on PIX 7.1.x and the security appliance only. The Local/Internal server retrieves/searches the username and enforces any defined attributes.

Understanding Policy Enforcement of Permissions and Attributes

You can configure the security appliance to receive user attributes from either the LOCAL/internal database, a RADIUS/LDAP authentication server, or a RADIUS/LDAP authorization server. You can also place users into group-policies with different attributes, but the user attributes will always take precedence. After the device authenticates the user and group(s), the security appliance combines the user and group attribute sets into one aggregate attribute set. The security appliance uses the attributes in the following order and applies the aggregate attribute set to the authenticated user.

1. User attributes—The server returns these after successful user authentication or authorization. These take precedence over all others.

2. Group policy attributes—These attributes come from the group policy associated with the user. You identify the user group policy name in the local database by the ' vpn-group-policy' attribute or from an external RADIUS/LDAP server by the value of the RADIUS CLASS attribute (25) in the format 'OU=GroupName;'. The group policy provides any attributes that are missing from the user attributes. User attributes override group policy attributes if both have a value.

3. Tunnel group default-group-policy attributes—These attributes come from the default-group-policy (Base group) that is associated with the tunnel group. After a lookup of that group policy, the Tunnel Group's default-group-policy provide any attributes that are missing from the user or group policy attributes. User attributes override group policy attributes if both have a value.

4. System default attributes—System default attributes provide any attributes that are missing from the user, group, or tunnel group attributes.

Configuring an External LDAP Server


Note For more information on the LDAP protocol, see RFCs 1777, 2251, and 2849.


This section describes the structure, schema, and attributes of an LDAP server. It includes the following topics:

Reviewing Examples of Active Directory Configurations

Reviewing the LDAP Directory Structure and Configuration Procedure

An LDAP server stores information as entries in a directory. An LDAP schema defines what types of information such entries store. The schema lists classes and the set of (required and optional) attributes that objects of each class can contain.

To configure your LDAP server to interoperate with the security appliance, define a security appliance authorization schema. A security appliance authorization schema defines the class and attributes of that class that the security appliance supports. Specifically, it comprises the object class (cVPN3000-User-Authorization) and all its possible attributes that may be used to authorize a security appliance user (such as access hours, primary DNS, and so on). Each attribute comprises the attribute name, its number (called an object identifier or OID), its type, and its possible values.

Once you have defined the security appliance authorization schema and loaded it on your server, define the security appliance attributes and permissions and their respective values for each user who will be authorizing to the server.

In summary, to set up your LDAP server:

Design your security appliance LDAP authorization schema based on the hierarchical set-up of your organization

Define the security appliance authorization schema

Load the schema on the LDAP server

Define permissions for each user on the LDAP server

The specific steps of these processes vary, depending on which type of LDAP server you are using.

Organizing the Security Appliance LDAP Schema

Before you actually create your schema, think about how your organization is structured. Your LDAP schema should reflect the logical hierarchy of your organization.

For example, suppose an employee at your company, Example Corporation, is named Terry. Terry works in the Engineering group. Your LDAP hierarchy could have one or many levels. You might decide to set up a shallow, single-level hierarchy in which Terry is considered a member of Example Corporation. Or, you could set up a multi-level hierarchy in which Terry is considered to be a member of the department Engineering, which is a member of an organizational unit called People, which is itself a member of Example Corporation. See Figure E-1 for an example of this multi-level hierarchy.

A multi-level hierarchy has more granularity, but a single level hierarchy is quicker to search.

Figure E-1 A Multi-Level LDAP Hierarchy

Searching the Hierarchy

The security appliance lets you tailor the search within the LDAP hierarchy. You configure the following three fields on the security appliance to define where in the LDAP hierarchy your search begins, its extent, and the type of information it is looking for. Together these fields allow you to limit the search of the hierarchy to just the part of the tree that contains the user permissions.

LDAP Base DN defines where in the LDAP hierarchy the server should begin searching for user information when it receives an authorization request from the security appliance.

Search Scope defines the extent of the search in the LDAP hierarchy. The search proceeds this many levels in the hierarchy below the LDAP Base DN. You can choose to have the server search only the level immediately below, or it can search the entire subtree. A single level search is quicker, but a subtree search is more extensive.

Naming Attribute(s) defines the Relative Distinguished Name (RDN) that uniquely identifies an entry in the LDAP server. Common naming attributes are: cn (Common Name) and ui (user identification).

Figure E-1 shows a possible LDAP hierarchy for Example Corporation. Given this hierarchy, you could define your search in different ways. Table E-1 shows two possible search configurations.

In the first example configuration, when Terry establishes his or her IPSec tunnel with LDAP authorization required, the security appliance sends a search request to the LDAP server indicating it should search for Terry in the Engineering group. This search is quick.

In the second example configuration, the security appliance sends a search request indicating the server should search for Terry within Example Corporation. This search takes longer.

Table E-1 Example Search Configurations

1

group= Engineering,ou=People,dc=ExampleCorporation, dc=com

Subtree

Binding the Security Appliance to the LDAP Server

Some LDAP servers (including the Microsoft Active Directory server) require the security appliance to establish a handshake via authenticated binding before they accept requests for any other LDAP operations. The security appliance identifies itself for authenticated binding by attaching a Login DN field to the user authentication request. The Login DN field defines the authentication characteristics of the security appliance; these characteristics should correspond to those of a user with administration privileges. An example Login DN field could be: cn=Administrator, cn=users, ou=people, dc=example, dc=com.

Defining the Security Appliance LDAP Schema

Once you have decided how to structure your user information in the LDAP hierarchy, define this organization in a schema. To define the schema, begin by defining the object class name. The class name for the security appliance directory is cVPN3000-User-Authorization. The class has the object identifier (OID) 1.2.840.113556.1.8000.795.1.1. Every entry or user in the directory is an object of this class.

Some LDAP servers (for example, the Microsoft Active Directory LDAP server) do not allow you to reuse the class OID once you have defined it. Use the next incremental OID. For example, if you incorrectly defined the class name as cVPN3000-Usr-Authorization with OID 1.2.840.113556.1.8000.795.1.1, you can enter the correct class name cVPN3000-User-Authorization with the next OID, for example, 1.2.840.113556.1.8000.795.1.2.

For the Microsoft Active Directory LDAP server, define the schema in text form in a file using the LDAP Data Interchange Format (LDIF). This file has an extension of .ldif, for example: schema.ldif. Other LDAP servers use graphical user interfaces or script files to define the object class and its attributes. For more information on LDIF, see RFC-2849.


NoteAll LDAP attributes for all three appliances begin with the letters cVPN3000; for example: cVPN3000-Access-Hours.

The appliances enforce the LDAP attributes based on attribute name, not numeric ID. RADIUS attributes, on the other hand, are enforced by numeric ID, not by name.

Authorization refers to the process of enforcing permissions or attributes. An LDAP server defined as an authentication or authorization server will enforce permissions or attributes if they are configured.


For a complete list of attributes for the security appliance, the PIX Firewall and the VPN 3000, see Table E-2.

All strings are case-sensitive and you must use an attribute name as capitalized in the table even if it conflicts with how a term is typically written. For example, use cVPN3000-IETF-Radius-Class, not cVPN3000-IETF-RADIUS-Class.

Thus, the OID of the first attribute in the table, cVPN3000-Access-Hours, is 1.2.840.113556.8000.795.2.1. Likewise, the OID of the last attribute in the table, cVPN3000-WebVPN-SVC-Compression, is 1.2.840.113556.8000.795.2.115.


Cisco -AV-Pair Attribute Syntax

The syntax of each Cisco-AV-Pair rule is as follows:

[Prefix] [Action] [Protocol] [Source] [Source Wildcard Mask] [Destination] [Destination Wildcard Mask] [Established] [Log] [Operator] [Port]:

Field
Description

Prefix

A unique identifier for the AV pair. For example: ip:inacl#1= (used for standard ACLs) or webvpn:inacl# (used for WebVPN ACLs). This field only appears when the filter has been sent as an AV pair.

Action

Action to perform if rule matches: deny, permit.

Protocol

Number or name of an IP protocol. Either an integer in the range 0-255 or one of the following keywords: icmp, igmp, ip, tcp, udp.

Source

Network or host that sends the packet. It is specified as an IP address, a hostname, or the keyword "any". If specified as an IP address, the source wildcard mask must follow.

Source Wildcard Mask

The wildcard mask applied to the source address.

Destination

Network or host that receives the packet. It is specified as an IP address, a hostname, or the keyword "any". If specified as an IP address, the source wildcard mask must follow.

Destination Wildcard Mask

The wildcard mask applied to the destination address.

Log

Generates a FILTER log message. You must use this keyword to generate events of severity level 9.

Operator

Logic operators: greater than, less than, equal to, not equal to.

Port

The number of a TCP or UDP port in the range 0-65535.


For example:

ip:inacl#1=deny ip 10.155.10.0 0.0.0.255 10.159.2.0 0.0.0.255 log 
ip:inacl#2=permit TCP any host 10.160.0.1 eq 80 log 

webvpn:inacl#1=permit url http://www.cnn.com
webvpn:inacl#2=deny smtp any host 10.1.3.5
webvpn:inacl#3=permit url cifs://mar_server/peopleshare1


NoteUse Cisco-AV pair entries with the ip:inacl# prefix to enforce ACLs for remote IPsec and SSL VPN Client (SVC) tunnels.

Use Cisco-AV pair entries with the webvpn:inacl# prefix to enforce ACLs for WebVPN clientless (browser-mode) tunnels.


Table E-3 lists the tokens for the Cisco-AV-Pair attribute:
