Chapter 1 Configuring Clientless SSL VPN
Using Single Sign-on with Clientless SSL VPN
Detailed Steps
This section presents general tasks, not a complete procedure. To configure the Cisco authentication
scheme on your SiteMinder Policy Server, perform the following steps:
Step 1
With the SiteMinder Administration utility, create a custom authentication scheme, being sure to use the
following specific arguments:
•
In the Library field, enter
smjavaapi
.
•
In the Secret field, enter the same secret configured on the ASA.
You configure the secret on the ASA using the
policy-server-secret
command at the command line
interface.
•
In the Parameter field, enter
CiscoAuthApi
.
Step 2
Using your Cisco.com login, download the file
cisco_vpn_auth.jar
from
http://www.cisco.com/cisco/software/navigator.html
and copy it to the default library directory for the
SiteMinder server. This .jar file is also available on the Cisco ASA CD.
Configuring SSO Authentication Using SAML Browser Post Profile
This section describes configuring the ASA to support Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML),
Version 1.1 POST profile Single Sign-On (SSO) for authorized users.
After a session is initiated, the ASA authenticates the user against a configured AAA method. Next, the
ASA (the asserting party) generates an assertion to the relying party, the consumer URL service provided
by the SAML server. If the SAML exchange succeeds, the user is allowed access to the protected
resource.
shows the communication flow:
