Chapter: SSL VPN

SSL VPN

The SSL VPN feature or WebVPN provides support in the Cisco IOS software for remote user access to enterprise networks from anywhere on the Internet. Remote access is provided through a Secure Socket Layer (SSL)-enabled SSL VPN gateway. The SSL VPN gateway allows remote users to establish a secure VPN tunnel using a web browser. This feature provides a comprehensive solution that allows easy access to a broad range of web resources and web-enabled applications using native HTTP over SSL (HTTPS) browser support. SSL VPN delivers three modes of SSL VPN access: clientless, thin-client, and full-tunnel client support.

This document is primarily for system administrators. If you are a remote user, see the document“SSL VPN Remote User Guide”.


Note

The Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client is introduced in Cisco IOS Release 12.4(15)T. This feature is the next-generation SSL VPN Client. If you are using Cisco software earlier than Cisco IOS Release 12.4(15)T, you should be using the SSL VPN Client and use the GUI for the SSL VPN Client when you are web browsing. However, if you are using Cisco Release 12.4(15)T or a later release, you should be using the Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client and use the GUI for Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client when you are web browsing.


Note

Security threats, as well as the cryptographic technologies to help protect against them, are constantly changing. For more information about the latest Cisco cryptographic recommendations, see the Next Generation Encryption (NGE) white paper.

Prerequisites for SSL VPN

To securely access resources on a private network behind an SSL VPN gateway, the remote user of an SSL VPN service must have the following:

  • An account (login name and password)

  • An SSL-enabled browser (for example, Internet Explorer, Netscape, Mozilla, or Firefox)

  • Operating system support

  • “Thin-client” support used for TCP port-forwarding applications requires administrative privileges on the computer of the remote user.

  • “Tunnel mode” for Cisco SSL VPN requires administrative privileges for initial installation of the full-tunnel client.

  • The remote user must have local administrative privileges to use thin-client or full-tunnel client features.

  • The SSL VPN gateway and context configuration must be completed before a remote user can access resources on a private network behind an SSL VPN. For more information, see the “How to Configure SSL VPN Services on a Router” section.

  • Access control list (ACL) Support—The time range should have already been configured.

  • Single SignOn Netegrity Cookie Support—A Cisco plug-in must be installed on a Netegrity SiteMinder server.

  • Licensing—In Cisco IOS Release 15.0(1)M, the SSL VPN gateway is a seat-counted licensing feature on Cisco 880, Cisco 890, Cisco 1900, Cisco 2900, and Cisco 3900 platforms. A valid license is required for a successful SSL VPN session.

  • SSL VPN-supported browser—The following browsers have been verified for SSL VPN. Other browsers might not fully support SSL VPN features.

    Note

    Later versions of the following browsers are also supported.

    • Firefox 2.0 (Windows and Linux)
    • Internet Explorer 6.0 or 7.0
    • Linux (Redhat RHEL 3.0 +, FEDORA 5, or FEDORA 6)
    • Macintosh OS X 10.4.6
    • Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Windows Vista
    • Safari 2.0.3

Restrictions for SSL VPN

General Restrictions for SSL VPN

  • URLs referred by the Macromedia Flash player cannot be modified for secure retrieval by the SSL VPN gateway.

  • Cisco Secure Desktop (CSD) 3.1 and later versions are not supported.

  • MS Silverlight Plugin is not supported.

PKI AAA Authorization Using the Entire Subject Name

  • Some AAA servers limit the length of the username (for example, to 64 characters). As a result, the entire certificate subject name cannot be longer than the limitation of the server.

  • Some AAA servers limit the available character set that may be used for the username (for example, a space [ ] and an equal sign [=] may not be acceptable). This functionality will not work for a AAA server having such a character-set limitation.

  • The subject-name command in the trust point configuration may not always be the final AAA subject name. If the fully qualified domain name (FQDN), serial number, or IP address of the router are included in a certificate request, the subject name field of the issued certificate will also have these components. To turn off the components, use the fqdn, serial-number, and ip-address commands with the none keyword.

  • Certificate Authority (CA) servers sometimes change the requested subject name field when they issue a certificate. For example, CA servers of some vendors switch the relative distinguished names (RDNs) in the requested subject names to the following order: CN, OU, O, L, ST, and C. However, another CA server might append the configured Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) directory root (for example, O=cisco.com) to the end of the requested subject name.

  • Depending on the tools you choose for displaying a certificate, the printed order of the RDNs in the subject name could be different. Cisco IOS software always displays the least significant RDN first, but other software, such as Open Source Secure Socket Layer (OpenSSL), does the opposite. Therefore, if you are configuring a AAA server with a full DN (subject name) as the corresponding username, ensure that the Cisco IOS software style (that is, with the least-significant RDN first) is used.

Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client

The Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client is not supported on Windows Mobile when the client connects to a Cisco IOS headend router (supported in Cisco IOS Release 15.0(1)M and later releases). The Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client does not support the following:

  • Client-side authentication (supported in Cisco IOS Release 15.0(1)M and later releases)

  • Compression support

  • IPsec

  • IPv6 VPN access

  • Localization

  • Sequencing

  • Standalone mode (supported in Cisco IOS Release 12.4(20)T and later releases)

Thin-Client Control List Support

Although there is no limitation on the maximum number of filtering rules that can be applied for each ACL entry, keeping the number below 50 should have no impact on router performance.

HTTP Proxy

The HTTP Proxy feature works only with Microsoft Internet Explorer.

The HTTP Proxy feature will not work if the browser proxy setup cannot be modified because of any security policies that have been placed on the client workstation.

Lightweight Directory Access Protocol

SSL VPN supports Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) authentication.

Features Not Supported on the Cisco IOS SSL VPN

The following features are not supported on the Cisco IOS SSL VPN:

  • Application Profile Customization Framework (APCF): an XML-based rule set for clientless SSL VPN

  • Cisco Unified Communications Manager (Cisco UCM) 8.0.1 VPN-enabled 7900 series IP phones

  • Dynamic Access Policies (DAP)

  • Java and ActiveX Client Server Plugins

  • On Board Built-in Single Sign On

  • Portal Page Customization

  • SharePoint Support

  • Smart Tunnels

  • Support for External Statistics Reporting and Monitoring Tools

  • Using Smartcard for Authentication (supported in Cisco IOS Release 15.0(1)M and later releases)

  • The following features were introduced in the AnyConnect 2.5.217 release:
    • AnyConnect Profile Editor
    • Captive Portal Hotspot Detection
    • Captive Portal Remediation
    • Client Firewall with Local Printer and Tethered Device Support
    • Connect Failure Policy
    • Optimal Gateway Selection
    • Post Log-in Always-on VPN
    • Quarantine

Note

The features introduced in AnyConnect 2.5 are not supported although you can connect to a Cisco IOS headend using AnyConnect 2.5. However, features introduced in AnyConnect 2.4 and earlier releases are supported when you are connected to a Cisco IOS headend using AnyConnect 2.5 or AnyConnect 3.0.

Information About SSL VPN

SSL VPN Overview

Cisco IOS SSL VPN provides SSL VPN remote-access connectivity from almost any Internet-enabled location using only a web browser that locally supports SSL encryption. This feature allows your company to extend access to any authorized user/corporate resources to its secure enterprise network by providing remote-access connectivity from any Internet-enabled location.

Cisco IOS SSL VPN can also support access from noncorporate-owned machines, including home computers, Internet kiosks, and wireless hot spots. These locations are difficult places to deploy and manage VPN client software and the remote configuration required to support IPsec VPN connections.

The figure below shows how a mobile worker (For example, a lawyer at the courthouse) can access protected resources from a main office and its branch offices. Site-to-site IPsec connectivity between the main and remote sites is unaltered. The mobile worker needs only Internet access and supported software (web browser and operating system) to securely access the corporate network.

Figure 1. Secure SSL VPN Access Model

SSL VPN delivers the following modes of SSL VPN access:

  • Clientless—Clientless mode provides secure access to private web resources and will provide access to web content. This mode is useful for accessing most content that you would expect to access in a web browser, such as Internet access, databases, and online tools that employ a web interface.

  • Thin client (port-forwarding Java applet)—Thin-client mode extends the capability of the cryptographic functions of the web browser to enable remote access to TCP-based applications such as Post Office Protocol version 3 (POP3), Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP), Internet Message Access protocol (IMAP), Telnet, and Secure Shell (SSH).

  • Tunnel mode—Full-tunnel client mode offers extensive application support through its dynamically downloaded Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client (next-generation SSL VPN Client) for SSL VPN. Full tunnel client mode delivers a lightweight, centrally configured and easy-to-support SSL VPN tunneling client that provides network layer access to virtually any application.

SSL VPN application accessibility is somewhat constrained relative to IPsec VPNs; however, SSL-based VPNs provide access to a growing set of common software applications, including web page access, web-enabled services such as file access, e-mail, and TCP-based applications (by way of a downloadable thin-client applet). SSL-based VPN requires slight changes to user workflow because some applications are presented through a web browser interface, not through their native GUI. The advantage for SSL VPN comes from accessibility from almost any Internet-connected system without the need to install additional desktop software.

Licensing

SSL VPN supports the following types of licenses:

  • Permanent licenses—No usage period is associated with these licenses. All permanent licenses are node locked and validated during installation and usage.

  • Evaluation licenses—These are metered licenses that are valid for a limited period. The usage period of a license is based on a system clock. The evaluation licenses are built into the image and are not node locked. The evaluation licenses are used only when there are no permanent, extension or grace period licenses available for a feature. An end-user license agreement (EULA) has to be accepted before using an evaluation license.

  • Extension licenses—Extension licenses are node-locked metered licenses. These licenses are installed using the management interfaces on the device. A EULA has to be accepted as part of installation.

  • Grace-rehost licenses—Grace period licenses are node locked metered licenses. These licenses are installed on the device as part of the rehost operation. A EULA has to be accepted as a part of the rehost operation.

For all the license types, except the evaluation license, a EULA has to be accepted during the license installation. This means that all the license types except the evaluation license are activated after installation. In the case of an evaluation license, a EULA is presented during an SSL VPN policy configuration or an SSL VPN profile configuration.

An SSL VPN session corresponds to a successful login of a user to the SSL VPN service. An SSL VPN session is created when a valid license is installed and the user credentials are successfully validated. On a successful user validation, a request is made to the licensing module to get a seat. An SSL VPN session is created only when the request is successful. If a valid license is not installed, the SSL VPN policy configuration and SSL VPN profile configuration can be successful, but the user cannot log in successfully. When multiple policies and profiles are configured, the total number of sessions are equal to the total sessions allowed by the license. A seat count is released when a session is deleted. A session is deleted because of reasons such as log out by the user, session idle timeout or Dead Peer Detection (DPD) failure.


Note

Rarely a few sessions which do not have active connections may appear to be consuming licenses. This typically denotes that this is a transition state and the session will get expired soon.

The same user can create multiple sessions and for each session a seat count is reserved. The seat reservation does not happen in the following cases:

  • Full-tunnel session creation from a browser session.

  • Full-tunnel session is up and a crypto rekey is done.

When the total active sessions are equal to the maximum license count of the current active license, no more new sessions are allowed.

The reserved seat count or session is released when the following occurs:

  • a user logs out.

  • a DPD failure happens.

  • a session timeout occurs.

  • an idle timeout occurs.

  • a session is cleared administratively using the clear webvpn session command.

  • a user is disconnected from the tunnel.

  • a profile is removed even when there are active sessions.

You can use the show webvpn license command to display the available count and the current usage. To display the current license type and time period left in case of a nonpermanent license, use the show license command. To get information related to license operations, events, and errors, use the debug webvpn license command.

New Cisco IOS SSL VPN licenses that are generated are cumulative. Therefore the old licenses become inactive when a new license is applied. For example, when you are upgrading your license from 10 counts to 20 counts (an increase of 10 counts on the current 10 counts), Cisco provides a single 20 count license. The old license for 10 counts is not required when a permanent license for a higher count is available. However, the old license will exist in an inactive state as there is no reliable method to clear the old license.

Licensing in Cisco IOS Release 15.x

Starting in Cisco IOS Release 15.0(1)M, the SSL VPN gateway is a seat-counted licensing feature on the Cisco 880, Cisco 890, Cisco 1900, Cisco 2900, and Cisco 3900 platforms. A license count is associated with each license, and the count indicates the instances of the feature available for use in the system. In the case of SSL VPN, a seat refers to the maximum number of sessions allowed at a time.

You can get the license at http:/​/​www.cisco.com/​go/​license.

For instructions on installing a license using Cisco License Manager (CLM), see the User Guide for Cisco License Manager, Release 2.2 at http:/​/​www.cisco.com/​en/​US/​docs/​net_mgmt/​license_manager/​lm_2_2/​2.2_user_guide/​clm_​book.html.

For instructions on installing a license using Cisco CLI, see the “Cisco IOS Software Activation Tasks and Commands” chapter of the Software Activation Configuration Guide at http:/​/​www.cisco.com/​en/​US/​docs/​ios/​csa/​configuration/​guide/​csa_​commands_​ps6441_​TSD_​Products_​Configuration_​Guide_​Chapter.html.

For migrating from any Cisco IOS 12.4T release to Cisco IOS 15.x release, use the license migration tool at https:/​/​tools.cisco.com/​SWIFT/​Licensing/​LicenseAdminServlet/​migrateLicense.

In Cisco IOS Release 15.1(4)M1 and later releases, a Crypto Export Restrictions Manager (CERM) license is reserved only after the user logs in. If you have an Integrated Services Router Generation 2 (ISR G2) router with a CERM license, you must upgrade to Cisco IOS Release 15.1(4)M1 or later releases. Before Cisco IOS Release 15.1(4)M1, a CERM license is reserved for every SSL or Transport Layer Security (TLS) session.

Modes of Remote Access

Remote Access Overview

End-user login and authentication is performed by the web browser to a secure gateway using an HTTP request. This process creates a session that is referenced by a cookie. After authentication, the remote user is shown a portal page that allows access to the SSL VPN networks. All requests sent by the browser include the authentication cookie. The portal page provides all the resources available on the internal networks. For example, the portal page could provide a link to allow the remote user to download and install a thin-client Java applet (for TCP port forwarding) or a tunneling client.

Clientless Mode

In a clientless mode, the remote user accesses the internal or corporate network using the web browser on the client machine. The PC of the remote user must run the Windows 2000, Windows XP or Linux operating systems.

The following applications are supported in a clientless mode:

  • Web browsing (using HTTP and HTTPS)—provides a URL box and a list of web server links in the portal page that allows the remote user to browse the web.

  • File sharing [using common Internet file system (CIFS)]—provides a list of file server links in the portal page that allows the remote user to do the following operations:
    • Browse a network (listing of domains)
    • Browse a domain (listing of servers)
    • Browse a server (listing of shares)
    • List the files in a share
    • Create a new file
    • Create a directory
    • Rename a directory
    • Update a file
    • Download a file
    • Remove a file
    • Rename a file

Note

Linux requires that the Samba application is installed before CIFS file shares can be remotely accessed.

  • Web-based e-mail, such as Microsoft Outlook Web Access (OWA) 2003 (using HTTP and HTTPS) with Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV) extensions—provides a link that allows the remote user to connect to the exchange server and read web-based e-mail.

Thin-Client Mode

Thin-client mode, also called TCP port forwarding, assumes that the client application uses TCP to connect to a well-known server and port. In thin-client mode, the remote user downloads a Java applet by clicking the link provided on the portal page, or the Java applet is downloaded automatically (see the Options for Configuring HTTP Proxy and the Portal Page and Options for Configuring HTTP Proxy and the Portal Page section). The Java applet acts as a TCP proxy on the client machine for the services that you configure on the gateway.

The applications that are supported in thin-client mode are mainly e-mail-based (SMTP, POP3, and Internet Map Access Protocol version 4 [IMAP4]) applications.


Note

The TCP port-forwarding proxy works only with the Sun Microsystems Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version 1.4 or later versions. A Java applet is loaded through the browser that verifies the JRE version. The Java applet will refuse to run if a compatible JRE version is not detected.

The Java applet initiates an HTTP request from the remote user client to the SSL VPN gateway. The name and port number of the internal e-mail server is included in the HTTP request (POST or CONNECT). The SSL VPN gateway creates a TCP connection to that internal e-mail server and port.

The Java applet starts a new SSL connection for every client connection.

You should observe the following restrictions when using thin-client mode:

  • The remote user must allow the Java applet to download and install.

  • You cannot use thin-client mode for applications such as FTP, where the ports are negotiated dynamically. You can use TCP port forwarding only with static ports.


Note

There is a known compatibility issue with the encryption type and Java. If the Java port-forwarding applet does not download properly and the configuration line ssl encryption 3des-sha1 aes-sha1 is present, you should remove the line from the WebVPN gateway subconfiguration.

Options for Configuring HTTP Proxy and the Portal Page

Effective with Cisco IOS Release 12.4(11)T, administrators have more options for configuring the HTTP proxy and the portal page. If HTTP proxy is enabled, the Java applet acts as the proxy for the browser of the user, thereby connecting the client workstation with the gateway. The home page of the user (as defined by the user group) is opened automatically or, if configured by the administrator, the user is directed to a new website.

HTTP proxy supports both HTTP and HTTPS.

Benefits of Configuring HTTP Proxy

HTTP supports all client-side web technologies (including HTML, Cascading Style Sheets [CSS], JavaScript, VBScript, ActiveX, Java, and flash), HTTP Digest authentication, and client certificate authentication. Remote users can use their own bookmarks, and there is no limit on cookies. Because there is no mangling involved and the client can cache the objects, performance is much improved over previous options for configuring the HTTP proxy and portal page.

Illustrations of Port Forwarding with and Without an HTTP Proxy Configuration

The figure below illustrates TCP port forwarding without HTTP proxy configured.

Figure 2. TCP Port Forwarding Without HTTP Proxy Configured

In the figure above, the following steps occur:

  1. User downloads the proxy applet.

  2. Applet updates the registry to add HTTP as a Remote Procedure Call (RPC) transport.

  3. Applet examines the registry to determine the exchange (and local catalog) server and create server entries that refer to those servers.

  4. Applet opens local port 80 and listens for connections.

  5. User starts Outlook, and Outlook connects to 10.0.0.254:80.

  6. Applet opens a connection to the secure gateway and delivers the requests from Outlook.

  7. Secure gateway examines the requests to determine the endpoint exchange server.

  8. Data flows from Outlook, through the applet and the secure gateway, to the exchange server.

  9. User terminates Outlook.

  10. User closes the applet. Before closing, the applet undoes configuration Steps 3 and 4.

The figure below illustrates TCP port forwarding when HTTP proxy is configured.

Figure 3. HTTP Proxy

In the figure above, the following steps occur:

  1. Proxy applet is downloaded automatically.

  2. Applet saves the original proxy configuration of the browser.

  3. Applet updates the proxy configuration of the browser to be the local loopback address with an available local port (by default, port 8080).

  4. Applet opens the available local port and listens for connections.

  5. Applet, if so configured, opens the home page of the user, or the user browses to a new website.

  6. Applet accepts and looks at the HTTP or HTTPS request to determine the destination web server.

  7. Applet opens a connection to the secure gateway and delivers the requests from the browser.

  8. Secure gateway examines the requests to determine the endpoint web server.

  9. Data flows from the browser, through the applet and the secure gateway, to the web server.

  10. User closes applet. Before closing, the applet undoes configuration Steps 2 and 3.


Note

HTTP proxy can also be enabled on an authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) server. See the table SSL VPN RADIUS Attribute-Value Pairs in the Configuring RADIUS Attribute Support for SSL VPN section (port-forward-http-proxy and port-forward-http-proxy-url attributes).

Tunnel Mode

In a typical clientless remote access scenario, remote users establish an SSL tunnel to move data to and from the internal networks at the application layer (for example, web and e-mail). In tunnel mode, remote users use an SSL tunnel to move data at the network (IP) layer. Therefore, tunnel mode supports most IP-based applications. Tunnel mode supports many popular corporate applications (for example, Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Exchange, Lotus Notes E-mail, and Telnet).

The tunnel connection is determined by the group policy configuration. The Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client is downloaded and installed on the remote user PC, and the tunnel connection is established when the remote user logs into the SSL VPN gateway.

By default, the Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client is removed from the client PC after the connection is closed. However, you have the option to keep the Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client installed on the client PC.

SSL VPN Features

Access Control Enhancements

Effective with Cisco IOS Release 12.4(20)T, administrators can configure automatic authentication and authorization for users. Users provide their usernames and passwords via the gateway page URL and do not have to reenter their usernames and passwords from the login page. Authorization is enhanced to support more generic authorization, including local authorization. In previous releases, only RADIUS authorization was supported.

For information about configuring this feature, see the “Configuring Automatic Authentication and Authorization” section.

SSL VPN Client-Side Certificate-Based Authentication

This feature enables SSL VPN to authenticate clients based on the client’s AAA username and password and also supports WebVPN gateway authentication of clients using AAA certificates.

SSL VPN Client-Side Certificate-Based Authentication feature includes the following features:

Certificate-Only Authentication and Authorization Mode

Certificate-only authorization requires the user to provide a authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) authentication certificate as part of the WebVPN request, but does not require the username and password for authorization. The user requests WebVPN access with the AAA authentication certificate from the WebVPN gateway. The WebVPN gateway validates the identity of the client using the AAA authentication certificate presented to it. The WebVPN extracts the username from the AAA authentication certificate presented to it and uses it as the username in the AAA request. AAA authentication and AAA authorization are then completed with a hard-coded password. To configure certificate-only authorization use the authentication certificate command.

Users also need to configure public key infrastructure (PKI) AAA authorization using the entire subject name to retrieve the user name from the subject name in the certificate and use it for authorization. When using PKI AAA functionality, users sometimes have attribute-value (AV) pairs that are different from those of every other user. As a result, a unique username is required for each user. The PKI AAA authorization using the entire subject name provides users with the ability to query the AAA server using the entire subject name from the certificate as a unique AAA username.

Users should ensure that the AAA username being used by the device is the same as the username on the AAA server. Users can use the debug crypto pki transactions command to see which username is being used by the device.

Two-Factor Authentication and Authorization Mode

Two-factor authorization requires the user to request WebVPN access and present a AAA authentication certificate. The AAA authentication certificate is validated and the client’s identity is verified. The WebVPN gateway then presents the login page to the user. The user enters their username and password and WebVPN sends AAA authentication and AAA authorization requests to the AAA server. The AAA authentication list and the AAA authorization lists configured on the server are then used for authentication and authorization. To configure two-factor authentication and authorization mode use the authentication certificate aaa command.


Note

If the username-prefill command is configured, the username textbox on the login page will be disabled. The user will be asked only for their password on the login page.

Identification of WebVPN Context at Runtime Using Certificate Map Match Rules

Certificate map match rules are used by SSL VPN to identify the WebVPN context at runtime. The WebVPN context is required for AAA authentication and authorization mode and trustpoint configuration. When the user does not provide the WebVPN context, the identification of the WebVPN context at runtime is possible using certificate map matching by matching the certificate presented by the client with the certificate map match rules. To configure certificate map matching in WebVPN use the match-certificate command.

Support for AnyConnect Client to Implement Certificate Matching Based on Client Profile Attributes

Cisco AnyConnect client has certificate match functionality allowing it to select a suitable certificate while initiating tunnel connection with SSL VPN. In the case of standalone mode, the certificate selection is made based on the certificate match. When selecting a certificate, Cisco AnyConnect client can select the appropriate certificate based on the AnyConnect client profile attributes. This requires SSL VPN to support AnyConnect client profiles. The profile file is imported after modification by the administrator using the svc profile command. To create an AnyConnect client profile use the template that appears after installing Cisco AnyConnect in this location: \Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Cisco\ CiscoAnyConnectVPNClient\Profile\AnyConnectProfile.tmpl.


Note

When an AnyConnect client profile is modified and is uploaded to the router with the same name, the profile on the client is not updated unless the cache is cleared/reset by re-applying the crypto vpn anyconnect profile SSL flash:/SSL.xml command.

The following are the certificate match types available with Cisco AnyConnect client:

Certificate Key Usage Matching

Certificate key usage matching offers a set of constraints based on the broad types of operations that can be performed with a given certificate.

Extended Certificate Key Usage Matching

This matching allows an administrator to limit the certificates that can be used by the client based on the Extended Key Usage fields.

Certificate Distinguished Name Mapping

This certificate matching capability allows an administrator to limit the certificates that can be used by the client to those matching the specified criteria and criteria match conditions. This includes the ability to specify that a certificate must or must not have a specified string and also if wild carding for the string should be allowed.

AnyConnect Client Support

Effective with Cisco IOS Release 12.4(20)T, AnyConnect Client support is added for several client-side platforms, such as Microsoft Windows, Apple-Mac, and Linux. The ability to install AnyConnect in a standalone mode is also added. In addition, the Release 12.4(20)T allows you to install multiple AnyConnect VPN client packages to a gateway. For information on configuring multiple packages, see the “Configuring the SSL VPN Gateway to Distribute CSD and Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client Package Files” section.


Note

The IOS WebVPN gateway can randomly generate syslog and debug errors when an AnyConnect connection is established. You can ignore these errors as the client is able to connect and send or receive data traffic successfully.

Application ACL Support

Effective with Cisco IOS Release 12.4(11)T, the Application ACL Support feature provides administrators with the flexibility to fine-tune access control at the application layer level, for example, on the basis of a URL.

For information about configuring this feature, see the “Configuring ACL Rules” section, and “Associating an ACL Attribute with a Policy Group” section.

Automatic Applet Download

Effective with Cisco IOS Release 12.4(9)T, administrators have the option of automatically downloading the port-forwarding Java applet. The Automatic Applet Download feature must be configured on a group policy basis.


Note

Users still have to allow the Java applet to be downloaded. The dialog box appears, asking for permission.

To configure the automatic download, see the “Configuring an SSL VPN Policy Group” section.

Backend HTTP Proxy

The Backend HTTP Proxy feature, added in Cisco IOS Release 12.4(20)T, allows administrators to route user requests through a backend HTTP proxy, providing more flexibility and control than routing requests through internal web servers. This feature adds the following new AAA attributes: 

http-proxy-server
http-proxy-server-port

For information about configuring this feature, see the “Configuring a Backend HTTP Proxy” section.

Front-Door VRF Support

Effective with Cisco IOS Release 12.4(15)T, front-door virtual routing and forwarding (FVRF) support, coupled with the already supported internal virtual routing and forwarding (IVRF), provides for increased security. The feature allows the SSL VPN gateway to be fully integrated into a Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) or non-MPLS network (wherever the VRFs are deployed). The virtual gateway can be placed into a VRF that is separate from the Internet to avoid internal MPLS and IP network exposure. This placement reduces the vulnerability of the router by separating the Internet routes or the global routing table. Clients can now reach the gateway by way of the FVRF, which can be separate from the global VRF. The backend, or IVRF, functionality remains the same.

This FVRF feature provides for overlapping IP addresses.

The figure below is a scenario in which FVRF has been applied.

Figure 4. Scenario in Which FVRF Has Been Applied

To configure FVRF, see the “Configuring FVRF” section.

Full-Tunnel Cisco Express Forwarding Support

Effective with Cisco IOS Release 12.4(20)T, Full-Tunnel Cisco Express Forwarding support is added for better throughput performance than in earlier releases. This feature is enabled by default. To turn off full-tunnel Cisco Express Forwarding support, use the no webvpn cef command.


Note

To take full advantage of Cisco Express Forwarding support, the hardware crypto engine is required.

For sample output showing Cisco Express Forwarding-processed packets, see the Example Cisco Express Forwarding-Processed Packets.

Network Address Translation (NAT) configuration is sometimes used to forward TCP port 443 traffic destined to the WAN interface of a router through an internal webserver.

There are two methods of implementing Cisco IOS SSL VPN on a preexisting NAT configuration. The Cisco-recommended method is to use the WebVPN gateway IP address as the secondary address on the WAN interface. This method helps improve the WebVPN throughput performance. The following is a sample configuration of the recommended method on Cisco IOS SSL VPN: 

interface GigabitEthernet 0/0
  ip address 10.1.1.1 255.255.255.0
  ip address 10.1.1.2 255.255.255.0 secondary !
webvpn gateway ssl_vpn
  ip address 10.1.1.2 port 443

In the second method the WebVPN gateway uses a private IP address configured on a loopback interface and performs a NAT operation to convert the private IP address to a publically routable address. The following configuration is not supported on Cisco IOS SSL VPN because this configuration causes packets to become process-switched instead of being Cisco Express Forwarding-switched: 

interface Loopback 10
  ip address 192.0.2.1 255.255.255.0
!
interface GigabitEthernet 0/0
  description WAN interface
  ip address 10.1.1.1 255.0.0.0
!
ip nat inside source static 192.0.2.1 10.1.1.2 !
webvpn gateway ssl_vpn
  ip address 192.0.2.1 port 443

GUI Enhancements

In Cisco IOS Release 12.4(15)T, ergonomic improvements are made to the GUI of the Cisco IOS SSL VPN gateway. The improved customization of the user interface provides for greater flexibility and the ability to tailor portal pages for individualized views. Enhancements are made to the following web screens:

With the Internationalization feature, administrators can import their own attribute files in an XML format so that other languages can be imported using an editor that supports multilanguages.

The figure below shows a portal page in English. Users can select any language you have imported for certain SSL VPN web pages (login message, title page, and URL lists).

Figure 10. Portal Page in English

The figure below shows that an administrator has imported files in Japanese; a user has selected Japanese as the language for certain SSL VPN web pages (login message, title, and URL lists).

Figure 11. Portal Page in Japanese

For information about configuring this feature, see the “Configuring Internationalization” section. For examples relating to this feature, see the “Examples Internationalization” section.

Max-User Limit Message

A “Max user limit reached” message displays when a user logs in to a Web VPN context that has already reached the maximum users limit.

Netegrity Cookie-Based Single SignOn Support

The Netegrity SiteMinder product provides a Single SignOn feature that allows a user to log in a single time for various web applications. In this feature, a cookie is set in your browser for the first time when you are prompted to log in so that only a one-time login is required to access various web applications.

Effective with Cisco IOS Release 12.4(11)T, Netegrity cookie-based SSO is integrated with SSL VPN. It allows administrators to configure an SSO server that sets a SiteMinder cookie in a user's browser when the user initially logs in. This cookie is validated by a SiteMinder agent on subsequent user requests to resources that are protected by a SiteMinder realm. The agent decrypts the cookie and verifies user authentication.

For information about configuring SSO Netegrity Cookie Support and associating it with a policy group using the CLI, see the “Configuring SSO Netegrity Cookie Support for a Virtual Context” section and “Associating an SSO Server with a Policy Group” section.

The following example shows that an SSO server can also be associated with a policy group using RADIUS attributes: 

webvpn:sso-server-name=server1

For a list of RADIUS attribute-value (AV) pairs that support SSL VPN, see the “Configuring RADIUS Attribute Support for SSL VPN” section.

NTLM Authentication

NT LAN Manager (NTLM) is supported for SSL VPN effective with Cisco IOS Release 12.4(9)T. The feature is configured by default.

RADIUS Accounting

Effective with Cisco IOS Release 12.4(9)T, this feature provides for RADIUS accounting of SSL VPN user sessions.

For information about configuring SSL VPN RADIUS accounting for SSL VPN user sessions, see the “Configuring RADIUS Accounting for SSL VPN User Sessions” section.

For more information about configuring RADIUS accounting, see the “Configuring RADIUS” chapter in the Cisco IOS Security Configuration Guide: Securing User Services.

For a list of RADIUS AV pairs that support SSL VPN, see the “Configuring RADIUS Attribute Support for SSL VPN” section.

Stateless High Availability with Hot Standby Router Protocol

Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP) provides high network availability by routing IP traffic from hosts on Ethernet networks without having to rely on the availability of any single router. HSRP is particularly useful for hosts that do not support a router discovery protocol, such as ICMP Router Discovery Protocol (IRDP), and that do not have the functionality to switch to a new router when their selected router reloads or loses power. Without this functionality, a router that loses its default gateway because of a router failure is unable to communicate with the network.

HSRP is configurable on LAN interfaces using standby CLI. It is possible to use the standby IP address from an interface as the local IPsec identity, or local tunnel endpoint.

You can use the standby IP address as the SSL VPN gateway address to apply failover to VPN routers by using HSRP. Remote SSL VPN users connect to the local VPN gateway using the standby address that belongs to the active device in the HSRP group. In the event of a failover, the standby device takes over ownership of the standby IP address and begins to service remote VPN users.

Using the Stateless High Availability with Hot Standby Router Protocol feature, the remote user has to be aware of only the HSRP standby address instead of a list of gateway addresses.

The figure below shows the enhanced HSRP functionality topology. Traffic is serviced by the active Router P, the active device in the standby group. In the event of failover, traffic is diverted to Router S, the original standby device. Router S assumes the role of the new active router and takes ownership of the standby IP address.

Figure 12. Stateless High Availability with HSRP for SSL VPN

For information about configuring Stateless High Availability with HSRP, see the “Configuring Stateless High Availability with HSRP for SSL VPN” on section .


Note

In the case of a failover, HSRP does not facilitate SSL VPN state information transfer between VPN gateways. Without this state transfer, existing SSL VPN sessions with the remote users will be deleted, requiring users to reauthenticate and establish SSL VPN sessions with the new active gateway.

TCP Port Forwarding and Thin Client


Note

The TCP Port Forwarding and Thin Client feature requires the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version 1.4 or later releases to properly support SSL connections.


Note

Because this feature requires installing JRE and configuring the local clients, and because doing so requires administrator permissions on the local system, it is unlikely that remote users will be able to use applications when they connect from public remote systems.

When the remote user clicks the Start button of the Thin Client Application (under “Application Access), a new window is displayed. This window initiates the downloading of a port-forwarding applet. Another window is then displayed. This window asks the remote user to verify the certificate with which this applet is signed. When the remote user accepts the certificate, the applet starts running, and port-forwarding entries are displayed (see the figure below ). The number of active connections and bytes that are sent and received is also listed on this window.


Note

When remote users launch Thin Client, their system may display a dialog box regarding digital certificates, and this dialog box may appear behind other browser windows. If the remote user connection hangs, tell the remote user to minimize the browser windows to check for this dialog box.

You should have configured IP addresses, Domain Name System (DNS) names, and port numbers for the e-mail servers. The remote user can then launch the e-mail client, which is configured to contact the e-mail servers and send and receive e-mails. POP3, IMAP, and SMTP protocols are supported.

The window attempts to close automatically if the remote user is logged out using JavaScript. If the session terminated and a new port forwarding connection is established, the applet displays an error message.

Figure 13. TCP Port Forwarding Page


Caution

Users should always close the Thin Client window when finished using applications by clicking the close icon. Failure to quit the window properly can cause Thin Client or the applications to be disabled. See the “Application Access—Recovering from Hosts File Errors” section in the document SSL VPN Remote User Guide.

The table below lists remote system requirements for Thin Client.

Table 2 SSL VPN Remote System Thin-Client Requirements

Remote User System Requirements

Specifications or Use Suggestions

Client applications installed.

-

Cookies enabled on browser.

-

Administrator privileges.

You must be the local administrator on your PC.

Sun Microsystems JRE version 1.4 or later installed.

SSL VPN automatically checks for JRE whenever the remote user starts Thin Client. If it is necessary to install JRE, a popup window displays directing remote users to a site where it is available.

Client applications configured, if necessary.

Note   

The Microsoft Outlook client does not require this configuration step.

To configure the client application, use the locally mapped IP address and port number of the server. To find this information, do the following:

  • Start SSL VPN on the remote system and click the Thin-Client link on the SSL VPN home page. The Thin-Client window is displayed.

  • In the Name column, find the name of the server that you want to use, and then identify its corresponding client IP address and port number (in the Local column).

  • Use this IP address and port number to configure the client application. The configuration steps vary for each client application.

Windows XP SP2 patch.

If you are running Windows XP SP2, you must install a patch from Microsoft that is available at the following address:

http:/​/​support.microsoft.com/​?kbid=884020

This is a known Microsoft issue.

URL Obfuscation

The URL Obfuscation feature provides administrators with the ability to obfuscate, or mask, sensitive portions of an enterprise URL, such as IP addresses, hostnames, or part numbers. For example, if URL masking is configured for a user, the URL in the address bar could have the port and hostname portion obfuscated, as in this example:

https://slvpn-gateway.examplecompany.com/http/cF9HxnBjRmSFEzBWpDtfXfigzL559MQo51Qj/cgi-bin/submit.p

For information about configuring this feature, see the “Associating an SSO Server with a Policy Group” section.

URL Rewrite Splitter

Effective with Cisco IOS Release 12.4(20)T, the URL Rewrite Splitter feature allows administrators to mangle selective URLs. Mangling is a CPU-intensive and time-consuming process, so mangling only selective URLs can result in a savings of memory and time.

For information about configuring this feature, see the “Configuring a URL Rewrite Splitter” section.

User-Level Bookmarking

Effective with Cisco IOS Release 12.4(15)T, users can bookmark URLs while connected through an SSL VPN tunnel. Users can access the bookmarked URLs by clicking the URLs.

User-level bookmarking is turned by default. There is no way to turn it off. To set the storage location, administrators can use the user-profile location command. If the user-profile location command is not configured, the location flash:/webvpn/{context name}/ is used.

Virtual Templates

A virtual template enables SSL VPN to interoperate with IP features such as Network Address Translation (NAT), firewall, and policy-based routing.

For information about configuring this feature, see Configuring a_​Virtual_​Template section.

License String Support for the 7900 VPN Client

The Cisco IOS SSL VPN accepts license strings from Cisco IP Phones. Cisco IOS VPN concentrators support the VPN license type linksys-phone in order to support the Galactica VPN client on 79x 2 and 79x 5 phones.

In the case of a transformer platform, response to the license message (linksys-phone) will succeed if the license requirements are met. However, an Integrated Services Routers (ISR) router must always respond with a success message so that the Galactica VPN client can attempt to establish a VPN connection.

SSL VPN DVTI Support

The SSL VPN DVTI Support feature adds Dynamic Virtual Tunnel Interface (DVTI) support to the Secure Socket Layer Virtual Private Network (SSL VPN) and hence enables seamless interoperability with IP features such as Firewall, Network Address Translation (NAT), access Control Lists (ACLs), and Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF). This feature also provides DVTI support, which allows IP feature configuration on a per-tunnel basis.

SSL VPN provides three modes to access a VPN: clientless, thin client, and full tunnel. The full tunnel mode uses an internal virtual interface to route the traffic to and from the SSL VPN tunnel. Before the SSL VPN DVTI Support feature was introduced, the virtual interface was created during the SSL VPN virtual interface configuration and users were not allowed to apply IP features to the SSL VPN traffic.

The SSL VPN DVTI Support feature uses a virtual template infrastructure to provide DVTI support for SSL VPN. IP features are configured in a virtual template that is associated with the SSL VPN or WebVPN context. The IP features configured in the virtual template are used to create a virtual access interface that is internally used to tunnel SSL VPN traffic. Virtual templates in a WebVPN context are applied in two ways: per-context and per-tunnel.


Note

You can configure any IP feature with SSL VPN. However, in the Cisco IOS Release 15.1(1)T, interoperability has been tested only with the firewall, NAT, ACL, policy-based routing (PBR), and VRF IP features.

The SSL VPN DVTI Support feature contains the following:

Prerequisites for SSL VPN DVTI Support

  • You must have the IP features configured in a virtual template. See the “Configuring a Virtual Template” section for information on configuring a virtual template.

  • SSL VPN must be able to fetch configurations from the AAA server.

  • The SSL VPN gateway and context configurations must be enabled and operational.

  • If VRF is needed, configure it before creating the virtual template.

Restrictions for SSL VPN DVTI Support

  • In order for a virtual template to work with SSL VPN, the ip unnumbered command must be configured on the virtual template.

Virtual Template Infrastructure

A generic interface template service is required with features such as stackability, Virtual Private Dialup Network (VPDN), Multilink PPP (MLP), and virtual profiles. Virtual template interface service delivers a generic interface template service. The virtual template interface, command buffer, and virtual access interface functions enables you to populate a virtual-access interface using a pre-defined configuration that is stored in a virtual template interface and security servers such as TACACS+ and RADIUS.

For example, in stackability, a virtual template interface is assigned to a stack group. Whenever a stack member needs a virtual interface, the virtual template interface service is called by a member to obtain a virtual access interface cloned with the same configuration as the configuration of the assigned virtual template interface.

In a virtual profile, the per-user configuration can be stored in a security server. That is, when the user dials in, the desired configuration can be cloned into the virtual access interface associated with the user. The virtual template service provides an application programming interface (API) for a virtual profile to clone a buffer of commands to a virtual access interface. The virtual profile does the actual interaction with the security server.


Note

If you do not configure a virtual template, then the default virtual template (VT0) will be used for cloning the virtual access interface.

SSL VPN Phase-4 Features

The SSL VPN Phase-4 Features feature provides the following enhancements to the Cisco IOS Secure Sockets Layer Virtual Private Network (SSL VPN):

  • ACL support for split tunneling

  • IP mask for IP pool address assignment

  • Undoing the renaming of AnyConnect or SSL VPN Client (SVC) Full Tunnel Cisco package during installation on a Cisco IOS router

  • Adding per-user SSL VPN session statistics

  • "Start before logon" option for the Cisco IOS SSL VPN headend

The SSL VPN Phase-4 features contains the following:

Prerequisites for SSL VPN Phase-4 Features

You must use a valid K9 image to configure the SSL VPN Phase-4 Features.

Full Tunnel Package

When you install the AnyConnect or SVC full tunnel package using the crypto vpn command on the Cisco IOS headend, the package name gets renamed to svc_pkg_<number>. This renaming omits package information and Base Station Ethernet (BSE) operating system information, and thus makes you difficult to remove or uninstall the package. This functionality was modified in Cisco IOS Release 15.1(1)T to retain the name during installation of the package.

The limit on the filename size on the Cisco IOS file system (IFS) is 120 bytes. Unless the package name is greater than this limit, the package name does not change. If the filename exceeds this limit, then the installation fails. The following error message is displayed on the router console: 

Error: Package name exceeds 120 characters
SSL VPN per-User Statistics

Per-user statistics functionality provides an option to filter the cumulative statistics on a per-user basis for the Cisco IOS SSL VPN sessions. Use the show webvpn session user command to enable this functionality. This command is applicable only for user session statistics and tunnel statistics. See Cisco Cisco IOS Security Command Reference for more information on the show webvpn session command.

DTLS Support for IOS SSL VPN

The DTLS Support for IOS SSL VPN feature enables DTLS as a transport protocol for the traffic tunneled through SSL VPN.

An AnyConnect client with a Transport Layer Security (TLS) tunnel can face problems for real-time traffic and the traffic that is not sensitive to data loss, such as VoIP. This happens because of the delay introduced by the TCP channel (AnyConnect client uses TLS over TCP channel). Also, when the TCP sessions are channeled over the TLS tunnel we have TCP in TCP. Here both the TCPs try to control the flow and achieve in-sequence reliable delivery. This causes slow down of the application and also increases the network bandwidth utilization. DTLS solves this problem by hosting TLS over UDP after making the necessary changes to TLS.

The DTLS Support for IOS SSL VPN feature is enabled by default on the Cisco IOS SSL VPN. You can use the no svc dtls command in the WebVPN group policy configuration mode to disable the DTLS support on the SSL VPN.

Prerequisites for DTLS Support for IOS SSL VPN

You must use a valid K9 image to have the DTLS Support for IOS SSL VPN feature.

Restrictions for DTLS Support for IOS SSL VPN

  • Cisco IOS gateway supports the DTLS Support for IOS SSL VPN feature only with an AnyConnect clients.

  • The DTLS Support for IOS SSL VPN feature is supported on AnyConnect clients with version 2.x.

  • The DTLS Support for IOS SSL VPN feature is not supported on SSL VPN Client (SVC) with version 1.x.

Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client Full Tunnel Support

Remote Client Software from the SSL VPN Gateway

The Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client software package is pushed from the SSL VPN gateway to remote clients when support is needed. The remote user (PC or device) must have either the Java Runtime Environment for Windows (version 1.4 later), or the browser must support or be configured to permit Active X controls. In either scenario, the remote user must have local administrative privileges.

Address Pool

The address pool is first defined with the ip local pool command in global configuration mode. The standard configuration assumes that the IP addresses in the pool are reachable from a directly connected network.

Address Pools for Nondirectly Connected Networks

If you need to configure an address pool for IP addresses from a network that is not directly connected, perform the following steps:

  1. Create a local loopback interface and configure it with an IP address and subnet mask from the address pool.

  2. Configure the address pool with the ip local pool command. The range of addresses must fall under the subnet mask configured in Step 1.

  3. Set up the route. If you are using the Routing Information Protocol (RIP), configure the router rip command and then the network command, as usual, to specify a list of networks for the RIP process. If you are using the Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) protocol, configure the ip ospf network point-to-point command in the loopback interface. As a third choice (instead of using the RIP or OSPF protocol), you can set up static routes to the network.

  4. Configure the svc address-pool command with the name configured in Step 2.

Manual Entry to the IP Forwarding Table

If the SSL VPN software client is unable to update the IP forwarding table on the PC of the remote user, the following error message will be displayed in the router console or syslog: 

Error : SSL VPN client was unable to Modify the IP forwarding table ......

This error can occur if the remote client does not have a default route. You can work around this error by performing the following steps:

  1. Open a command prompt (DOS shell) on the remote client.

  2. Enter the route print command.

  3. If a default route is not displayed in the output, enter the route command followed by the add and mask keywords. Include the default gateway IP address at the end of the route statement. See the following example: 

C:\>route ADD 0.0.0.0 MASK 0.0.0.0 10.1.1.1

How to Configure SSL VPN Services on a Router

Configuring an SSL VPN Gateway

The SSL VPN gateway acts as a proxy for connections to protected resources. Protected resources are accessed through an SSL-encrypted connection between the gateway and a web-enabled browser on a remote device, such as a personal computer. Entering the webvpn gateway command places the router in SSL VPN gateway configuration mode. The following configuration are accomplished in this task:

  • The gateway is configured with an IP address.

  • A port number is configured to carry HTTPS traffic (443 is default).

  • A hostname is configured for the gateway.

  • Crypto encryption and trust points are configured.

  • The gateway is configured to redirect HTTP traffic (port 80) over HTTPS.

  • The gateway is enabled.


Note

Security threats, as well as the cryptographic technologies to help protect against them, are constantly changing. For more information about the latest Cisco cryptographic recommendations, see the Next Generation Encryption (NGE) white paper.

The SSL VPN provides remote-access connectivity from almost any Internet-enabled location using only a web browser and its native SSL encryption. The ssl encryption command is configured to restrict the encryption algorithms that SSL uses in Cisco IOS software.


Note

There is a known compatibility issue with the encryption type and Java. If the Java port-forwarding applet does not download properly and the configuration line ssl encryption 3des-sha1 aes-sha1 is present, you should remove the line from the WebVPN gateway subconfiguration.

The configuration of the ssl trustpoint command is required only if you need to configure a specific certification authority (CA) certificate. A self-signed certificate is automatically generated when an SSL VPN gateway is put in service.

    What to Do Next

    SSL VPN context and policy group configurations must be configured before an SSL VPN gateway can be operationally deployed. Proceed to the “Configuring an SSL VPN Context” section to see information on SSL VPN context configuration.

    Configuring a Generic SSL VPN Gateway

    To configure a generic SSL VPN gateway, perform the following steps in privileged EXEC mode.


    Note

    The advantage of this configuration over the one in the configuration task in the “Configuring an SSL VPN Gateway” section on section is that basic commands and context can be configured quickly using just the webvpn enable command.

      Device> enable
       

      Enables privileged EXEC mode.

      • Enter your password if prompted.

       
      Step 2 webvpn enable gateway-addr ip-address


      Example:
      Device# webvpn enable gateway-addr 10.1.1.1
       

      Configures a generic SSL VPN gateway.

       
      Step 3 end


      Example:
      Device(config-webvpn-gateway)# end
       

      Exists the webvpn gateway configuration mode and enters the privileged EXEC mode.

       

      Configuring an SSL VPN Context

      The SSL VPN context defines the virtual configuration of the SSL VPN. Entering the webvpn context command places the router in SSL VPN configuration mode. The following configurations are accomplished in this task:

      • A gateway and domain is associated.

      • The AAA authentication method is specified.

      • A group policy is associated.

      • The remote user portal (web page) is customized.

      • A limit on the number users sessions is configured.

      • The context is enabled.

      The ssl authenticate verify all command is enabled by default when a context configuration is created. The context cannot be removed from the router configuration while an SSL VPN gateway is in an enabled state (in service).

      A virtual hostname is specified when multiple virtual hosts are mapped to the same IP address on the SSL VPN gateway (similar to the operation of a canonical domain name). The virtual hostname differentiates host requests on the gateway. The host header in the HTTP message is modified to direct traffic to the virtual host. The virtual hostname is configured with the gateway command in WebVPN context configuration mode.

      Before You Begin

      The SSL VPN gateway configuration has been completed.

        Configuring an SSL VPN Policy Group

        The policy group is a container that defines the presentation of the portal and the permissions for resources that are configured for a group of remote users. Entering the policy group command places the router in WebVPN group policy configuration mode. After it is configured, the group policy is attached to the SSL VPN context configuration by configuring the default-group-policy command. The following tasks are accomplished in this configuration:

        • The presentation of the SSL VPN portal page is configured.

        • A NetBIOS server list is referenced.

        • A port-forwarding list is referenced.

        • The idle and session timers are configured.

        • A URL list is referenced.

        Outlook Web Access (OWA) 2003 is supported by the SSL VPN gateway upon completion of this task. The Outlook Exchange Server must be reachable by the SSL VPN gateway via TCP/IP.

        A URL list can be configured under the SSL VPN context configuration and then separately for each individual policy group configuration. Individual URL list configurations must have unique names.

            What to Do Next

            The database that is configured for remote-user authentication on the SSL VPN gateway can be a local database, as shown in this task, or the database can be accessed through any RADIUS or TACACS+ AAA server.

            It is recommended that you use a separate AAA server, such as a Cisco ACS. A separate AAA server provides a more robust security solution. It allows you to configure unique passwords for each remote user and accounting and logging for remote-user sessions. Proceed to the “Configuring_​AAA_​for_​SSL_​VPN_​Users_​Using_​a_​Secure_​Access_​Control_​Server” section to see more information.

            Configuring AAA for SSL VPN Users Using a Secure Access Control Server

            The steps in this task show how to configure AAA using a separate RADIUS or TACACS+ server. AAA is configured in global configuration mode.

              What to Do Next

              Proceed to the section “Configuring_​RADIUS_​Attribute_​Support_​for_​SSL_​VPN” section to see RADIUS attribute-value pair information introduced to support this feature.

              Configuring PKI Integration with a AAA Server

              Perform this task to generate a AAA username from the certificate presented by the peer and specify which fields within a certificate should be used to build the AAA database username.


              Note

              The following restrictions should be considered when using the all keyword as the subject name for the authorization username command:

              • Some AAA servers limit the length of the username (for example, to 64 characters). As a result, the entire certificate subject name cannot be longer than the limitation of the server.

              • Some AAA servers limit the available character set that may be used for the username (for example, a space [ ] and an equal sign [=] may not be acceptable). You cannot use the all keyword for a AAA server having such a character-set limitation.

              • The subject-name command in the trustpoint configuration may not always be the final AAA subject name. If the fully qualified domain name (FQDN), serial number, or IP address of the router are included in a certificate request, the subject name field of the issued certificate will also have these components. To turn off the components, use the fqdn, serial-number, and ip-address commands with the none keyword.

              • CA servers sometimes change the requested subject name field when they issue a certificate. For example, CA servers of some vendors switch the relative distinguished names (RDNs) in the requested subject names to the following order: CN, OU, O, L, ST, and C. However, another CA server might append the configured LDAP directory root (for example, O=cisco.com) to the end of the requested subject name.

              • Depending on the tools you choose for displaying a certificate, the printed order of the RDNs in the subject name could be different. Cisco IOS software always displays the least significant RDN first, but other software, such as Open Source Secure Socket Layer (OpenSSL), does the opposite. Therefore, if you are configuring a AAA server with a full distinguished name (DN) (subject name) as the corresponding username, ensure that the Cisco IOS software style (that is, with the least significant RDN first) is used.

                Router (ca-trustpoint)# enrollment url http://[2001:DB8:1:1::1]:80
                 

                Specifies the following enrollment parameters of the CA:

                • (Optional) The mode keyword specifies the registration authority (RA) mode, if your CA system provides an RA. By default, RA mode is disabled.

                • (Optional) The retry period keyword and minutes argument specifies the period, in minutes, in which the router waits before sending the CA another certificate request. Valid values are from 1 to 60. The default is 1.

                • (Optional) The retry count keyword and number argument specifies the number of times a router will resend a certificate request when it does not receive a response from the previous request. Valid values are from 1 to 100. The default is 10.

                • The url argument is the URL of the CA to which your router should send certificate requests.
                  Note   

                  With the introduction of Cisco IOS Release 15.2(1)T, an IPv6 address can be added to the http: enrolment method. For example: http://[ipv6-address]:80. The IPv6 address must be enclosed in brackets in the URL. See the enrollment url (ca-trustpoint) command page for more information on the other enrollment methods that can be used.

                • (Optional) The pem keyword adds privacy-enhanced mail (PEM) boundaries to the certificate request.

                 
                Step 7 revocation-check method

                Example:

                      What to Do Next

                      See the Configuring_​Microsoft_​File_​Shares_​for_​Clientless_​Remote_​Access section for information about configuring clientless remote access to file shares.

                      Configuring Microsoft File Shares for Clientless Remote Access

                      In clientless remote access mode, files and directories created on Microsoft Windows servers can be accessed by the remote client through the HTTPS-enabled browser. When clientless remote access is enabled, a list of file server and directory links is displayed on the portal page after login. The administrator can customize permissions on the SSL VPN gateway to provide limited read-only access for a single file or full-write access and network browsing capabilities. The following access capabilities can be configured:

                      • Network browse (listing of domains)

                      • Domain browse (listing of servers)

                      • Server browse (listing of shares)

                      • Listing files in a share

                      • Downloading files

                      • Modifying files

                      • Creating new directories

                      • Creating new files

                      • Deleting files

                      Common Internet File System Support—CIFS is the protocol that provides access to Microsoft file shares and support for common operations that allow shared files to be accessed or modified.

                      NetBIOS Name Service Resolution—Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) uses NetBIOS name resolution to map and establish connections between Microsoft servers. A single server must be identified by its IP address in this configuration. Up to three servers can be added to the configuration. If multiple servers are added, one server should be configured as the master browser.

                      Samba Support—Microsoft file shares can be accessed through the browser on a Linux system that is configured to run Samba.

                      Before You Begin

                      • SSL VPN gateway and context configurations are enabled and operational.

                      • A Microsoft file server is operational and reachable from the SSL VPN gateway over TCP/IP.


                      Note

                      File shares configured on Windows 2008 is not supported. Only file shares configured on Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows 2003, Windows XP, and Red Hat Linux servers are supported.

                        What to Do Next

                        See the Configuring_​Citrix_​Application_​Support_​for_​Clientless_​Remote_​Access section for information about configuring clientless remote access for Citrix- enabled applications.

                        Configuring Citrix Application Support for Clientless Remote Access

                        Clientless Citrix support allows the remote user to run Citrix-enabled applications through the SSL VPN as if the application were locally installed (similar to traditional thin-client computing). Citrix applications run on a MetaFrame XP server (or server farm). The SSL VPN gateway provides access to the remote user. The applications run in real time over the SSL VPN. This task shows how to enable Citrix support for policy group remote users.

                        The Independent Computing Architecture (ICA) client carries keystrokes and mouse clicks from the remote user to the MetaFrame XP server. ICA traffic is carried over TCP port number 1494. This port is opened when a Citrix application is accessed. If multiple application are accessed, the traffic is carried over a single TCP session.

                        Before You Begin

                        • A Citrix MetaFrame XP server is operational and reachable from the SSL VPN gateway over TCP/IP.

                        • SSL VPN gateway and context configurations are enabled and operational.

                          What to Do Next

                          Support for standard applications that use well-known port numbers, such as e-mail and Telnet, can be configured using the port forwarding feature. See the Configuring_​Application_​Port_​Forwarding section for more information.

                          Configuring Application Port Forwarding

                          Application port forwarding is configured for thin-client mode SSL VPN. Port forwarding extends the cryptographic functions of the SSL-protected browser to provide remote access to TCP and UDP-based applications that use well-known port numbers, such as POP3, SMTP, IMAP, Telnet, and SSH.

                          When port forwarding is enabled, the hosts file on the SSL VPN client is modified to map the application to the port number configured in the forwarding list. The application port mapping is restored to default when the user terminates the SSL VPN session.

                          When you are enabling port forwarding, the SSL VPN gateway will modify the hosts file on the PC of the remote user. Some software configurations and software security applications will detect this modification and prompt the remote user to choose “Yes” to permit. To permit the modification, the remote user must have local administrative privileges.


                          Note

                          There is a known compatibility issue with the encryption type and Java. If the Java port-forwarding applet does not download properly and the configuration line ssl encryption 3des-sha1 aes-sha1 is present, you should remove the line from the WebVPN gateway subconfiguration.

                          Before You Begin

                          SSL VPN gateway and SSL VPN context configurations are enabled and operational.

                            Configuring the SSL VPN Gateway to Distribute CSD and Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client Package Files

                            The SSL VPN gateway is preconfigured to distribute Cisco Secure Desktop (CSD) or Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client software package files to remote users. The files are distributed only when CSD or Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client support is needed. The administrator performs the following tasks to prepare the gateway:

                            • The current software package is downloaded from www.cisco.com.

                            • The package file is copied to a local file system.

                            • The package file is installed for distribution by configuring the crypto vpn command.

                            The remote user must have administrative privileges, and the JRE for Windows version 1.4 or later must be installed before the CSD client package can be installed.

                            For Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client software installation, the remote user must have either the Java Runtime Environment for Windows (version 1.4 or later), or the browser must support or be configured to permit Active X controls.

                            CSD and Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client software packages should be installed for distribution on the SSL VPN gateway. Download the latest version that supports your device and the image you are using (consult a compatibility matrix for your particular setup).

                            The CSD software package can be downloaded at the following URL:

                            The Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client software package can be downloaded at the following URL:

                              What to Do Next

                              Support for CSD and Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client can be enabled for remote users after the gateway has been prepared to distribute CSD or Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client software.

                              Configuring Cisco Secure Desktop Support

                              CSD provides a session-based interface where sensitive data can be shared for the duration of an SSL VPN session. All session information is encrypted. All traces of the session data are removed from the remote client when the session is terminated, even if the connection is terminated abruptly. CSD support for remote clients is enabled in this task.

                              The remote user (PC or device) must have administrative privileges, and the JRE for Windows version 1.4 or later must be installed before the CSD client packages can be installed.

                              Before You Begin

                              • SSL VPN gateway and context configurations are enabled and operational.

                              • The CSD software package is installed for distribution on the SSL VPN gateway.

                                Upon completion of this task, the SSL VPN gateway has been configured to provide clientless and thin-client support for remote users. The SSL VPN feature also has the capability to provide full VPN access (similar to IPsec). Proceed to the Configuring_​Cisco_​AnyConnect_​VPN_​Client_​Full_​Tunnel_​Support section to see more information.

                                Configuring Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client Full Tunnel Support

                                The Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client is an application that allows a remote user to establish a full VPN connection similar to the type of connection that is established with an IPsec VPN. Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client software is pushed (downloaded) and installed automatically on the PC of the remote user. The Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client uses SSL to provide the security of an IPsec VPN without the complexity required to install IPsec in your network and on remote devices. The following tasks are completed in this configuration:

                                • An access list is applied to the tunnel to restrict VPN access.

                                • Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client tunnel support is enabled.

                                • An address pool is configured for assignment to remote clients.

                                • The default domain is configured.

                                • DNS is configured for Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client tunnel clients.

                                • Dead peer timers are configured for the SSL VPN gateway and remote users.

                                • The login home page is configured.

                                • The Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client software package is configured to remain installed on the remote client.

                                • Tunnel key refresh parameters are defined.

                                Before You Begin

                                • SSL VPN gateway and context configurations are enabled and operational.

                                • The Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client software package is installed for distribution on the SSL VPN gateway.

                                • The remote client has administrative privileges. Administrative privileges are required to download the SSL VPN software client.

                                See the Configuring the SSL VPN Gateway to Distribute CSD and Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client Package Files section if you have not already prepared the SSL VPN gateway to distribute SSL VPN software.

                                Note

                                Only Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Apple-Mac, and Linux are supported on the remote client.

                                  Configures a pool of IP addresses to assign to remote users in a policy group.

                                  • The address pool is first defined with the ip local pool command in global configuration mode.

                                  • If you are configuring an address pool for a network that is not direc tly connected, an address from the pool must be configured on a locally loopback interface. See the third example at the end of this section.

                                  Device(config-webvpn-group)# svc dpd-interval gateway 30
                                   

                                  Configures the dead peer detection (DPD) timer value for the gateway or client.

                                  • The DPD timer is reset every time a packet is received over the SSL VPN tunnel from the gateway or remote user.

                                   
                                  Step 11 svc keepalive seconds


                                  Example:
                                  Device(config-webvpn-group)# svc keepalive 300
                                   

                                  (Optional) Enables the SVC to send keepalive messages by default with a frequency of 30 seconds.

                                  • Use this command to adjust the frequency of keepalive messages to ensure that an SVC connection through a proxy, Cisco IOS firewall, or NAT device remains active, even if the device limits the time that the connection can be idle. Adjusting the frequency also ensures that the SVC does not disconnect and reconnect when the remote user is not actively running a socket-based application, such as Microsoft Outlook or Microsoft Internet Explorer.

                                  • If the svc keepalive command is configured with a value of 0 seconds, then the keepalive function is disabled.

                                   
                                  Step 12 svc homepage string


                                  Example:
                                  Device(config-webvpn-group)# svc homepage www.cisco.com
                                   

                                  Configures the URL of the web page that is displayed upon successful user login.

                                  • The string argument is entered as an HTTP URL. The URL can be up to 255 characters in length.

                                   
                                  Step 13 svc keep-client-installed


                                  Example:
                                  Device(config-webvpn-group)# svc keep-client-installed
                                   

                                  Configures the remote user to keep Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client software installed when the SSL VPN connection is not enabled.

                                   
                                  Step 14 svc rekey {method {new-tunnel | ssl} | time seconds}


                                  Example:
                                  Device(config-webvpn-group)# svc rekey method new-tunnel
                                   

                                  Configures the time and method that a tunnel key is refreshed for policy group remote users.

                                  • The tunnel key is refreshed by renegotiating the SSL connection or initiating a new tunnel connection.

                                  • The time interval between tunnel refresh cycles is configured in seconds.

                                   
                                  Step 15 end


                                  Example:
                                  Device(config-webvpn-group)# end

                                  Tunnel Filter Configuration

                                  The following example, starting in global configuration mode, configures a deny access filter for any host from the 172.16.2/24 network: 

                                  Device(config)# access-list 101 deny ip 172.16.2.0 0.0.0.255 any
Device(config)# webvpn context context1
Device(config-webvpn-context)# policy group ONE
Device(config-webvpn-group)# filter tunnel 101
Device(config-webvpn-group)# end
                                  Address Pool (Directly Connected Network) Configuration

                                  The following example, starting in global configuration mode, configures the 192.168.1/24 network as an address pool: 

                                  Device(config)# ip local pool ADDRESSES 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.254

Device(config-webvpn-group)# end
                                  Address Pool (Nondirectly Connected Network) Configuration

                                  The following example, starting in global configuration mode, configures the 172.16.1/24 network as an address pool. Because the network is not directly connected, a local loopback interface is configured. 

                                  Device(config)# interface loopback 0 
Device(config-int)# ip address 172.16.1.126 255.255.255.0 
Device(config-int)# no shutdown 
Device(config-int)# exit 
Device(config)# ip local pool ADDRESSES 172.16.1.1 172.16.1.254 
Device(config)# webvpn context context1 
Device(config-webvpn-context)# policy group ONE 
Device(config-webvpn-group)# svc address-pool ADDRESSES 
Device(config-webvpn-group)# end
                                  Full Tunnel Configuration

                                  The following example, starting in global configuration mode, configures full Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client tunnel support on an SSL VPN gateway: 

                                  Device(config)# webvpn context context1
Device(config-webvpn-context)# policy group ONE
Device(config-webvpn-group)# functions svc-enabled

                                  What to Do Next

                                  Proceed to the Configuring_​Advanced_​SSL_​VPN_​Tunnel_​Features section to see advanced Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client tunnel configuration information.

                                  Configuring Advanced SSL VPN Tunnel Features

                                  This section describes advanced Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client tunnel configurations. The following configuration steps are completed in this task:

                                  • Split tunnel support and split DNS resolution are enabled on the SSL VPN gateway.

                                  • SSL VPN gateway support for Microsoft Internet Explorer proxy settings is configured.

                                  • WINS resolution is configured for Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client tunnel clients.

                                  Microsoft Internet Explorer Proxy Configuration—The SSL VPN gateway can be configured to pass or bypass Microsoft Internet Explorer (MSIE) proxy settings. Only HTTP proxy settings are supported by the SSL VPN gateway. MSIE proxy settings have no effect on any other supported browser.

                                  Split Tunneling—Split tunnel support allows you to configure a policy that permits specific traffic to be carried outside of the Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client tunnel. Traffic is either included (resolved in tunnel) or excluded (resolved through the Internet service provider [ISP] or WAN connection). Tunnel resolution configuration is mutually exclusive. An IP address cannot be both included and excluded at the same time. Entering the local-lans keyword permits the remote user to access resources on a local LAN, such as network printer.

                                  Before You Begin

                                  • SSL VPN gateway and context configurations are enabled and operational.

                                  • The Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client software package is installed for distribution on the SSL VPN gateway.


                                  Note

                                  Only Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Apple-Mac, and Linux are supported on the remote client.

                                    Device(config-webvpn-group)# svc msie-proxy option auto
                                     

                                    Configures MSIE browser proxy settings for policy group remote users.

                                    • Entering the option auto keywords configures the browser of the remote user to autodetect proxy settings.

                                    • Entering the option bypass-local keywords configures local addresses to bypass the proxy.

                                    • Entering the option none keywords configures the browser on the remote client to not use a proxy.

                                     
                                    Step 8 svc msie-proxy server host

                                    Example:
                                    Device(config-webvpn-group)# end
                                     

                                    Exists the WebVPN group policy configuration mode and enters the privileged EXEC mode.

                                     

                                    Examples

                                    Split DNS Configuration

                                    The following example, starting in global configuration mode, configures the following DNS names to be resolved in the Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client tunnel: 

                                    Device(config)# webvpn context context1 
Device(config-webvpn-context)# policy group ONE
Device(config-webvpn-group)# svc split dns www.example.com
Device(config-webvpn-group)# svc split dns myexample.com
                                    Including and Excluding IP Prefixes

                                    The following example configures a list of IP addresses to be resolved over the tunnel (included) and a list to be resolved outside of the tunnel (excluded): 

                                    Device(config-webvpn-group)# svc split exclude 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0

                                    Configuring VRF Virtualization

                                    VRF Virtualization allows you to associate a traditional VRF with an SSL VPN context configuration. This feature allows you to apply different configurations and reuse address space for different groups of users in your organization.

                                    Before You Begin

                                    • A VRF has been configured in global configuration mode.

                                    • SSL VPN gateway and context configurations are enabled and operational.

                                    • A policy group has been configured and associated with the WebVPN context.


                                    Note

                                    Only a single VRF can be configured for each SSL VPN context configuration.

                                      Associates a VRF with an SSL VPN context.

                                      Note   

                                      When you configure the VRF Virtualization feature in Cisco IOS Release 12.4(24)T1 and later releases, the following message is displayed: 

                                      % IP VRF vrf1 configuration applied.
% But please use Virtual-Template to configure VRF.

                                      See the Configuring SSLVPN DVTI Support section for the procedure to configure IP features using virtual template.

                                      Configuring ACL Rules

                                      The ACL rules can be overridden for an individual user when the user logs in to the gateway (using AAA policy attributes). If a user session has no ACL attribute configured, all application requests from that user session are permitted by default.

                                      Before You Begin

                                      Before configuring the ACL rules, you must have first configured the time range using the time-range command (this prerequisite is in addition to optionally configuring the time range, in the task table, as part of the permit or deny entries).


                                      Note

                                      There is no limitation on the maximum number of filtering rules that can be configured for each ACL entry, but keeping the number below 50 should have no significant impact on router performance.

                                        Exists the WebVPN ACL configuration mode and enters the privileged EXEC mode.

                                         

                                        Associating an ACL Attribute with a Policy Group


                                        Note

                                        Associating an ACL attribute for an individual user must be performed as part of a AAA operation.

                                        • The ACL rules can be overridden for an individual user when the user logs in to the gateway (using AAA policy attributes).

                                        • If a user session has no ACL attribute configured, all application requests from that user session are permitted by default.

                                                      To configure FVRF so that the SSL VPN gateway is fully integrated into an MPLS network, perform the following steps.

                                                      Before You Begin

                                                      As the following configuration task shows, IP VRF must be configured before the FVRF can be associated with the SSL VPN gateway. For more information about configuring IP VRF, see the Configuring IP VRF (ip vrf command) in the Cisco IOS IP Application Services Command Reference section.

                                                                                        Configuring per-Tunnel Virtual Templates

                                                                                        Perform this task to configure per-tunnel virtual templates. This task describes how to provide DVTI support for an SSL VPN.

                                                                                        A virtual template is configured with the desired IP features. This virtual template is configured in a WebVPN context on a per-tunnel or per-user basis (because a user will have only one tunnel established at a time). Hence the virtual template configuration is applied on a per-tunnel basis for each SSL VPN full tunnel established in the WebVPN context. This configuration also helps you apply a distinct configuration to each user connecting to the WebVPN context using a AAA server.

                                                                                        The distinct per-user policy configuration is downloaded from the AAA server. This configuration includes group policy attributes and ACLs, and is applied to every user connecting to the WebVPN context on a per-user basis.

                                                                                        If a per-user attribute such as ACL is configured both on the AAA server and the virtual template, then the attribute configured on the AAA server takes precedence. The users logged in to the client computer will have the ACL configuration from the AAA server but will have other configurations, such as firewalls and VRF, from the virtual template. That is, the configuration applied to the users will be a combination of the virtual template configuration and the configuration available on the AAA server.

                                                                                        For example, if IP features such as firewalls, ACLs, and VRF are configured in a virtual template and user attributes such as ACLs are configured on the AAA server, the attributes configured on the AAA server take precedence. The users logged in to the client computer will have the ACL configuration from the AAA server but will have firewall and VRF configurations from the virtual template. That is, the configuration applied to the users will be a combination of virtual templates and AAA, where AAA attributes have a higher priority when there is a configuration conflict.

                                                                                        See the “Configuring_​RADIUS_​Attribute_​Support_​for_​SSL_​VPN” section for a list of AAA attributes that support SSL VPN.

This virtual template is configured in a WebVPN context, and enables SSL VPN to interoperate with the IP features configured. This configuration is applied to all users connecting to that WebVPN context.

                                                                                            The secure gateway administrator maintains the AnyConnect profile file and distributes it to the clients.

This functionality allows the administrator to run the logon scripts even if the user is not connected to the enterprise network. This is useful for a number of deployment scenarios where the user is outside the physical corporate network and cannot access the resources until his system is connected to the corporate network.

                                                                                            Only an administrator can enable or disable SBL. The end users accessing the client PC are not allowed to enable or disable this functionality.

                                                                                            Before You Begin

                                                                                                          Example: Configuring per-Tunnel Virtual Templates

                                                                                                          The figure below shows an example network where remote users User1 and User2 belong to a context called Context1, User3 belongs to a context called Context2, and they connect to the SSL VPN gateway and access the backend server in the corporate network.

                                                                                                          Figure 15. Topology Showing a per-Tunnel Virtual Template

                                                                                                          This section contains the following examples:

                                                                                                          Example: Configuring in the per-Tunnel Context Using Virtual Templates

                                                                                                          The following example shows how to apply VRF, a firewall policy, and ACLs to each user based on the virtual template configuration.

                                                                                                          If the VRF, firewall policy, and ACL features are configured in the virtual template and user policies are not configured on the AAA server, then only the IP features configured in the virtual template are applied to the users. In this example, User1 and User2 belonging to Context1 have zone1, vrf1, and ACL 1 configured whereas User3 belonging to Context2 has zone3, vrf3, and ACL 3 configured. Hence, different users have different IP features configured.

                                                                                                          The following example shows how to apply the IP feature configuration to the users based on the user-specific configuration available on the AAA server. The user-specific attributes configured on the AAA server are applied to the users when an SSL VPN session establishes a virtual tunnel. The configuration applied to the users will be a combination of the configurations in the virtual template and the AAA server, where AAA attributes have a higher priority when there is a configuration conflict.

                                                                                                          In this example, ACL 1 is configured for User1, ACL 2 is configured for User2, and ACL 3 is configured for User3 on the AAA server using the inacl attribute. Even though ACL 4 is applied to all the users in the virtual template, User1 has ACL 1, User2 has ACL 2, and User3 has ACL 3 configured along with zone and VRF configurations available in the virtual template.

                                                                                                          Virtual Template for User1 and User2

Here, the IP feature configuration is applied to each user based on the configuration applied to the WebVPN context of the user.

                                                                                                          Figure 16. Topology Showing a per-Context Virtual Template
