Cisco ASA Series CLI Configuration Guide
Chapter 1 Configuring the Identity Firewall
Configuring the Identity Firewall
Supported Windows servers include Windows 2003, Windows 2008, and Windows 2008 R2.
Note
Windows 2003 R2 is not supported for the AD Agent server.
For the steps to install and configure the AD Agent, see the
Installation and Setup Guide for the Active
Directory Agent
.
Before configuring the AD Agent in the ASA, obtain the secret key value that the AD Agent and the ASA
use to communicate. This value must match on both the AD Agent and the ASA.
Microsoft Active Directory
Microsoft Active Directory must be installed on a Windows server and accessible by the ASA. Supported
versions include Windows 2003, 2008, and 2008 R2 servers.
Before configuring the Active Directory server on the ASA, create a user account in Active Directory
for the ASA.
Additionally, the ASA sends encrypted log in information to the Active Directory server by using SSL
enabled over LDAP. SSL must be enabled on the Active Directory server. See the documentation for
Microsft Active Diretory for the steps to enable SSL for Active Directory.
Note
Before running the AD Agent Installer, you must install the following patches on every Microsoft Active
Directory server that the AD Agent monitors. These patches are required even when the AD Agent is
installed directly on the domain controller server. See the
README First for the Cisco Active Directory
Agent
.
