Cisco ASA 5500 Series Configuration Guide using the CLI
Chapter 36 Configuring the Identity Firewall
Task Flow for Configuring the Identity Firewall
Command Purpose
Step 1
hostname(config)# user-identity enable
Enables the Identity Firewall feature.
Step 2
hostname(config)# user-identity default-domain
domain_NetBIOS_name
Example:
hostname(config)# user-identity default-domain
SAMPLE
Specifies the default domain for the Identity
Firewall.
For
domain_NetBIOS_name, enter a name up to 32
characters consisting of [a-z], [A-Z], [0-9],
[!@#$%^&()-_=+[]{};,. ] except '.' and ' ' at the first
character. If the domain name contains a space,
enclose the entire name in quotation marks. The
domain name is not case sensitive.
The default domain is used for all users and user
groups when a domain has not been explicitly
configured for those users or groups. When a default
domain is not specified, the default domain for users
and groups is LOCAL. For multiple context modes,
you can set a default domain name for each context,
as well as within the system execution space.
Note The default domain name you specify must
match the NetBIOS domain name
configured on the Active Directory domain
controller. If the domain name does not
match, the AD Agent will incorrectly
associate the user identity-IP address
mappings with the domain name you enter
when configuring the ASA. To view the
NetBIOS domain name, open the Active
Directory user event security log in any text
editor.
The Identity Firewall uses the LOCAL domain for
all locally defined user groups or locally defined
users. Users logging in through a web portal
(cut-through proxy) are designated as belonging to
the Active Directory domain with which they
authenticated. Users logging in through a VPN are
designated as belonging to the LOCAL domain
unless the VPN is authenticated by LDAP with
Active Directory, then the Identity Firewall can
associate the users with their Active Directory
domain.
Step 3
hostname(config)# user-identity domain
domain_nickname aaa-server aaa_server_group_tag
Example:
hostname(config)# user-identity domain SAMPLE
aaa-server ds
Associates the LDAP parameters defined for the
AAA server for importing user group queries with
the domain name.
For
domain_nickname, enter a name up to 32
characters consisting of [a-z], [A-Z], [0-9],
[!@#$%^&()-_=+[]{};,. ] except '.' and ' ' at the first
character. If the domain name contains a space, you
must enclose that space character in quotation
marks. The domain name is not case sensitive.
