Authentication Proxy Authentication Outbound - No Cisco IOS Firewall or NAT Configuration

Introduction

The Authentication Proxy feature allows users to log in to the network or access the Internet via HTTP, with their specific access profiles automatically retrieved and applied from a RADIUS, or TACACS+ server. The user profiles are active only when there is active traffic from the authenticated users.

This sample configuration blocks traffic from the host device (at 40.31.1.47) on the internal network to all devices on the Internet until browser authentication is performed with the use of Authentication Proxy. The access control list (ACL) passed down from the server (permit tcp|ip|icmp any any) adds dynamic entries post-authorization to access list 116 that temporarily allow access from the host PC to the Internet.

Refer to Configuring Authentication Proxy for more information on Authentication Proxy.

Prerequisites

Requirements

There are no specific requirements for this document.

Components Used

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

• Cisco IOS® Software Release 12.2(15)T

• Cisco 7206 router

Note: The ip auth-proxy command was introduced in Cisco IOS Firewall Software Release 12.0.5.T.

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, make sure that you understand the potential impact of any command.

Conventions

Refer to Cisco Technical Tips Conventions for more information on document conventions.

Configure

In this section, you are presented with the information to configure the features described in this document.

Authentication on the PC

This section provides screen captures taken from the PC that show the authentication procedure. The first capture shows the window where a user enters the username and password for authentication and presses OK.

If authentication is successful, this window appears.

The RADIUS server must be configured with the proxy ACLs that are applied. In this example, these ACL entries are applied. This permits the PC to connect to any device.

permit tcp host 192.168.10.200 any
permit udp host 192.168.10.200 any
permit icmp host 192.168.10.200 any

This Cisco ACS window shows where to enter the proxy ACLs.

Note: Refer to Configuring Authentication Proxy for more information on how to configure the RADIUS/TACACS+ server.

Verify

This section provides information you can use to confirm your configuration works properly.

The Output Interpreter Tool (registered customers only) (OIT) supports certain show commands. Use the OIT to view an analysis of show command output.

• show ip access-lists—Displays the standard and extended ACLs configured on the firewall (includes dynamic ACL entries). The dynamic ACL entries are added and removed periodically based on whether the user authenticates or not.

• show ip auth-proxy cache—Displays either the Authentication Proxy entries or the running Authentication Proxy configuration. The cache keyword to list the host IP address, the source port number, the timeout value for the Authentication Proxy, and the state for connections that use Authentication Proxy. If the Authentication Proxy state is HTTP_ESTAB, the user authentication is a success.

Troubleshoot

This section provides information you can use to troubleshoot your configuration.

For these commands, along with other troubleshooting information, refer to Troubleshooting Authentication Proxy.

Note: Refer to Important Information on Debug Commands before you use debug commands.
