Overview of the Identity Firewall
In an enterprise, users often need access to one or more server resources. Typically, a firewall is not
aware of the users’ identities and, therefore, cannot apply security policies based on identity. To
configure per-user access policies, you must configure a user authentication proxy, which requires user
interaction (a user name/password query).
The Identity Firewall in the ASA provides more granular access control based on users’ identities. You
can configure access rules and security policies based on user names and user groups name rather than
through source IP addresses. The ASA applies the security policies based on an association of IP
addresses to Windows Active Directory login information and reports events based on the mapped user
names instead of network IP addresses.
