Introduction

This document describes Duo push integration with Active Directory (AD) and ISE as 2-Factor Authentication for AnyConnect clients connected to ASA.

Prerequisites

Requirements

Cisco recommends that you have knowledge of these topics:

- RA VPN configuration on Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA)

- RADIUS configuration on ASA

- Identity Services Engine (ISE)

- Active Directory (AD)

- Duo applications

Components Used

The information in this document is based on these software and hardware versions:

- Microsoft 2016 Server

- ASA 9.14(3)18

- ISE Server 3.0

- Duo Server

- Duo Authentication Proxy Manager

The information in this document was created from the devices in a specific lab environment. All of the devices used in this document started with a cleared (default) configuration. If your network is live, ensure that you understand the potential impact of any command.

Network Diagram and Scenario

Communication Process

Duo Two-Factor RADIUS Authentication for Cisco ISE:

1. Primary authentication initiated to Cisco ISE.

2. Cisco ASA sends authentication request to the Duo Authentication Proxy.

3. Primary authentication uses Active Directory or RADIUS.

4. Duo Authentication Proxy connection established to Duo Security over TCP port 443.

5. Secondary authentication via Duo Security’s service.

6. Duo authentication proxy receives authentication response.

7. Cisco ISE access granted.

User Accounts:

- Active Directory Admin: This is used as the directory account to allow the Duo Auth Proxy to bind to the Active Directory server for primary authentication.

- Active Directory test user

- Duo test user for secondary authentication

Active Directory Configurations

Windows server is pre-configured with Active Directory Domain services.

Note: If RADIUS Duo Auth Proxy Manager runs on the same Active Directory host machine, Network Policy Server (NPS) Roles must be uninstalled/deleted. If both RADIUS services run, they can conflict and impact performance.

In order to achieve AD configuration for authentication and user identity on Remote Access VPN users, a few values are required.

All these details must be created or collected on the Microsoft Server before configuration can be done on the ASA and Duo Auth proxy server.

The main values are:

- Domain Name. This is the domain name of the server. In this configuration guide, agarciam.cisco is the domain name.

- Server IP/Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) Address. The IP address or FQDN used to reach the Microsoft server. If an FQDN is used, a DNS server must be configured within ASA and Duo Auth proxy to resolve the FQDN.

In this configuration guide, this value is agarciam.cisco (which resolves to 10.28.17.107).

- Server port. The port used by the LDAP service. By default, LDAP and STARTTLS uses TCP port 389 for LDAP, and LDAP over SSL (LDAPS) uses TCP port 636.

- Root CA. If LDAPS or STARTTLS is used, the root CA used to sign the SSL certificate used by LDAPS is required.

- Directory Username and Password. This is the account used by Duo Auth proxy server to bind to the LDAP server and authenticate users and search for users and groups.

- Base and Group Distinguished Name (DN). The Base DN is the point of departure for Duo Auth proxy and it tells the Active directory to begin the search for and authenticate users.

In this configuration guide, the root domain agarciam.cisco is used as the Base DN and Group DN is Duo-USERS.

1. In order to add a new Duo user, on Windows Server, navigate to Windows icon at the bottom left and click Windows Administrative tools, as shown in the image.

2. On Windows Administrative tools window, navigate to Active Directory Users and Computers.

On the Active Directory Users and Computers panel, expand the domain option and navigate to Users folder.

In this configuration example, Duo-USERS is used as the target group for secondary authentication.

3. Right click on the Users folder and select New > User, as shown in the image.

4. On the New Object-User window, specify the identity attributes for this new user and click Next, as shown in the image.

5. Confirm password and click Next, then Finish once user information is verified.

6. Assign the new user to an specific group, right click it and select Add to a group, as shown in the image.

7. On the Select groups panel, type the name of the desired group and click Check names.

Then, select the name that matches your criteria and click Ok.

8. This is the user that is used on this document as an example.

8. Click Generate Duo Mobile Activation Code.

9. Select Email in order to receive the instructions via email, type your email address and click Send Instructions by email.

10. You receive an email with the instructions, as shown in the image.

11. Open the Duo Mobile App from your mobile device and click Add, then select Use QR code and scan the code from the instructions email.

12. New user is added to your Duo Mobile App.

Duo Auth Proxy Configuration

1. Download and Install Duo Auth Proxy Manager from Cisco Duo Authentication.

Note: In this document, the Duo Auth Proxy Manager is installed on the same Windows Server that hosts Active Directory services.

2. On the Duo Admin Panel, navigate to Applications and click Protect an Application.

3. On the search bar, look for Cisco ISE Radius.

4. Copy the Integration key, Secret key, and the API Hostname. You need this information for the Duo Authentication Proxy configuration.

5. Run the Duo Authentication Proxy Manager application and complete the configuration for both Active Directory client and ISE Radius Server and click Validate.

Note: If validation is not successful, refer to the debug tab for details and correct accordingly.

Cisco ISE Configurations

1. Log into the ISE Admin portal.

2.Expand Cisco ISE tab and Navigate to Administration, then click Network Resources, and click External RADIUS Servers.
