Chapter 11 Configuring AAA Servers and the Local Database
AAA Server and Local Database Support
Note
NT servers have a maximum length of 14 characters for user passwords. Longer passwords are truncated.
This is a limitation of NTLM Version 1.
Kerberos Server Support
The FWSM can use Kerberos servers for VPN-based management connections. When a user attempts to
establish VPN access, and the traffic matches an authentication statement, the FWSM consults the
Kerberos server for user authentication and grants or denies user access based on the response from the
server.
The FWSM supports 3DES, DES, and RC4 encryption types.
Note
The FWSM does not support changing user passwords during tunnel negotiation. To avoid this situation
happening inadvertently, disable password expiration on the Kerberos/Active Directory server for users
connecting to the FWSM.
LDAP Server Support
The FWSM can use LDAP servers for authorization of VPN-based management connections. When user
authentication for VPN access has succeeded and the applicable tunnel-group record specifies an LDAP
authorization server group, the FWSM queries the LDAP server and applies to the VPN session the
authorizations it receives.
Local Database Support
The FWSM maintains a local database that you can populate with user profiles.
This section contains the following topics:
•
User Profiles, page 11-6
•
Fallback Support, page 11-6
User Profiles
User profiles contain, at a minimum, a username. Typically, a password is assigned to each username,
although passwords are optional.
The
username attributes
command enables you to enter the username mode. In this mode, you can add
other information to a specific user profile. The information you can add includes VPN-related
attributes, such as a VPN session timeout value.
Fallback Support
With the exception of fallback for network access authentication, the local database can act as a fallback
method for the functions in
Table 11-1
. This behavior is designed to help you prevent accidental lockout
from the FWSM.
