Configuring Role-Based Access Control

Configuring Role-Based Access Control

This chapter includes the following sections:

Role-Based Access Control

Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) is a method of restricting or authorizing system access for users based on user roles and locales. A role defines the privileges of a user in the system and the locale defines the organizations (domains) that a user is allowed access. Because users are not directly assigned privileges, management of individual user privileges is simply a matter of assigning the appropriate roles and locales.

A user is granted write access to desired system resources only if the assigned role grants the access privileges and the assigned locale allows access. For example, a user with the Server Administrator role in the Engineering organization could update server configurations in the Engineering organization but could not update server configurations in the Finance organization unless the locales assigned to the user include the Finance organization.

User Accounts for Cisco UCS Manager

User accounts are used to access the system. Up to 48 user accounts can be configured in each Cisco UCS instance. Each user account must have a unique username and password.

A user account can be set with a SSH public key. The public key can be set in either of the two formats: OpenSSH and SECSH.

Default User Account

Each Cisco UCS instance has a default user account, admin, which cannot be modified or deleted. This account is the system administrator or superuser account and has full privileges. There is no default password assigned to the admin account; you must choose the password during the initial system setup.

The admin account is always active and does not expire. You cannot configure the admin account as inactive.

Local User Accounts

Local user accounts can be enabled or disabled by anyone with admin or aaa privileges. Once a local user account is disabled, the user cannot log in. Configuration details for disabled local user accounts are not deleted by the database. I fyou re-enable a disabled local user account, the account becomes active again with the existing configuration, including username and password.

Expiration of User Accounts

User accounts can be configured to expire at a predefined time. When the expiration time is reached, the user account is disabled.

By default, user accounts do not expire.


Note


After you configure a user account with an expiration date, you cannot reconfigure the account to not expire. You can, however, configure the account with the latest date available.


Guidelines for Cisco UCS Manager Usernames

The username is also used as the login ID for Cisco UCS Manager. When you assign usernames to Cisco UCS Manager user accounts, consider the following guidelines and restrictions:


  • The login ID can contain between 1 and 32 characters, including the following:


    • Any alphabetic character

    • Any digit

    • _ (underscore)

    • - (dash)

    • . (dot)

  • The unique username for each user account cannot be all-numeric. You cannot create a local user with an all-numeric username.

  • The unique username must start with an alphabetic character. It cannot start with a number or a special character, such as an underscore.

After you create a user account, you cannot change the username. You must delete the user account and create a new one.

Reserved Words: Local User Accounts

The following words cannot be used when creating a local user account in Cisco UCS Manager.


  • root

  • bin

  • daemon

  • adm

  • ip

  • sync

  • shutdown

  • halt

  • news

  • uucp

  • operator

  • games

  • gopher

  • nobody

  • nscd

  • mailnull

  • mail

  • rpcuser

  • rpc

  • mtsuser

  • ftpuser

  • ftp

  • man

  • sys

  • samdme

  • debug

Guidelines for Cisco UCS Manager Passwords

A password is required for each locally authenticated user account. A user with admin or aaa privileges can configure Cisco UCS Manager to perform a password strength check on user passwords. If the password strength check is enabled, each user must have a strong password.

Cisco recommends that each user have a strong password. If you enable the password strength check for locally authenticated users, Cisco UCS Manager rejects any password that does not meet the following requirements:


  • Must contain a minimum of 8 characters and a maximum of 64 characters.

  • Must contain at least three of the following:


    • Lower case letters

    • Upper case letters

    • Digits

    • Special characters

  • Must not contain a character that is repeated more than 3 times consecutively, such as aaabbb.

  • Must not be identical to the username or the reverse of the username.

  • Must pass a password dictionary check. For example, the password must not be based on a standard dictionary word.

  • Must not contain the following symbols: $ (dollar sign), ? (question mark), and = (equals sign).

  • Should not be blank for local user and admin accounts.

Web Session Limits for User Accounts

Web session limits are used by Cisco UCS Manager to restrict the number of web sessions (both GUI and XML) a given user account is permitted to access at any one time.

By default, the number of concurrent web sessions allowed by Cisco UCS Manager is set to 32; although this value can be configured up to the system maximum of 256.

User Roles

User roles contain one or more privileges that define the operations allowed for the user who is assigned the role. A user can be assigned one or more roles. A user assigned multiple roles has the combined privileges of all assigned roles. For example, if Role1 has storage related privileges, and Role2 has server related privileges, users who are assigned to both Role1 and Role2 have storage and server related privileges.

A Cisco UCS instance can contain up to 48 user roles, including the default user roles.

All roles include read access to all configuration settings in the Cisco UCS instance. The difference between the read-only role and other roles is that a user who is only assigned the read-only role cannot modify the system state. A user assigned another role can modify the system state in that user's assigned area or areas.

Roles can be created, modified to add new or remove existing privileges, or deleted. When a role is modified, the new privileges are applied to all users assigned to that role. Privilege assignment is not restricted to the privileges defined for the default roles. That is, you can use a custom set of privileges to create a unique role. For example, the default Server Administrator and Storage Administrator roles have different set of privileges, but a new Server and Storage Administrator role can be created that combines the privileges of both roles.

If a role is deleted after it has been assigned to users, it is also deleted from those user accounts.

User profiles on AAA servers (RADIUS or TACACS+) should be modified to add the roles corresponding to the privileges granted to that user. The attribute is used to store the role information. The AAA servers return this attribute with the request and parse it to get the roles. LDAP servers return the roles in the user profile attributes.


Note


If a local user account and a remote user account have the same username, any roles assigned to the remote user are overridden by those assigned to the local user.


Default User Roles

The system contains the following default user roles:

AAA Administrator

Read-and-write access to users, roles, and AAA configuration. Read access to the rest of the system.

Administrator

Complete read-and-write access to the entire system. The default admin account is assigned this role by default and it cannot be changed.

Facility Manager

Read-and-write access to power management operations through the power-mgmt privilege. Read access to the rest of the system.

Network Administrator

Read-and-write access to fabric interconnect infrastructure and network security operations. Read access to the rest of the system.

Operations

Read-and-write access to systems logs, including the syslog servers, and faults. Read access to the rest of the system.

Read-Only

Read-only access to system configuration with no privileges to modify the system state.

Server Equipment Administrator

Read-and-write access to physical server related operations. Read access to the rest of the system.

Server Profile Administrator

Read-and-write access to logical server related operations. Read access to the rest of the system.

Server Security Administrator

Read-and-write access to server security related operations. Read access to the rest of the system.

Storage Administrator

Read-and-write access to storage operations. Read access to the rest of the system.

Reserved Words: User Roles

The following words cannot be used when creating custom roles in Cisco UCS Manager.


  • network-admin

  • network-operator

  • vdc-admin

  • vdc-operator

  • server-admin

User Locales

A user can be assigned one or more locales. Each locale defines one or more organizations (domains) the user is allowed access, and access would be limited to the organizations specified in the locale. One exception to this rule is a locale without any organizations, which gives unrestricted access to system resources in all organizations.

A Cisco UCS instance can contain up to 48 user locales.

Users with AAA privileges (AAA Administrator role) can assign organizations to the locale of other users. The assignment of organizations is restricted to only those in the locale of the user assigning the organizations. For example, if a locale contains only the Engineering organization then a user assigned that locale can only assign the Engineering organization to other users.


Note


You cannot assign a locale to users with one or more of the following privileges:


  • aaa

  • admin

  • operations


You can hierarchically manage organizations. A user that is assigned at a top level organization has automatic access to all organizations under it. For example, an Engineering organization can contain a Software Engineering organization and a Hardware Engineering organization. A locale containing only the Software Engineering organization has access to system resources only within that organization; however, a locale that contains the Engineering organization has access to the resources for both the Software Engineering and Hardware Engineering organizations.
