Cisco ASA 5500 Series Configuration Guide using the CLI

Chapter 67 Configuring Connection Profiles, Group Policies, and Users

Configuring Connection Profiles

The authentication-server-group name identifies a previously configured authentication server or group
of servers. Use the aaa-server command to configure authentication servers. The maximum length of
the group tag is 16 characters.

You can also configure interface-specific authentication by including the name of an interface in
parentheses before the group name. The following interfaces are available by default:

inside—Name of interface GigabitEthernet0/1

outside— Name of interface GigabitEthernet0/0

Other interfaces you have configured (using the interface command) are also available. The following
command configures interface-specific authentication for the interface named outside using the server
servergroup1 for authentication:

hostname(config-tunnel-general)# authentication-server-group (outside) servergroup1

hostname(config-tunnel-general)#

Step 3

Optionally, specify the name of the authorization-server group, if any, to use. If you are not using
authorization, go to Step 6. When you configure this value, users must exist in the authorization database
to connect:

hostname(config-tunnel-general)# authorization-server-group groupname

hostname(config-tunnel-general)#

Use the aaa-server command to configure authorization servers. The maximum length of the group tag
is 16 characters.

For example, the following command specifies the use of the authorization-server group FinGroup:

hostname(config-tunnel-general)# authorization-server-group FinGroup

hostname(config-tunnel-general)#

Step 4

Specify whether to require a successful authorization before allowing a user to connect. The default is
not to require authorization.

hostname(config-tunnel-general)# authorization-required

hostname(config-tunnel-general)#

Step 5

Specify the attribute or attributes to use in deriving a name for an authorization query from a certificate.
This attribute specifies what part of the subject DN field to use as the username for authorization:

hostname(config-tunnel-general)# authorization-dn-attributes {primary-attribute

[secondary-attribute] | use-entire-name}

For example, the following command specifies the use of the CN attribute as the username for
authorization:

hostname(config-tunnel-general)# authorization-dn-attributes CN

hostname(config-tunnel-general)#

The authorization-dn-attributes are C (Country), CN (Common Name), DNQ (DN qualifier), EA
(E-mail Address), GENQ (Generational qualifier), GN (Given Name), I (Initials), L (Locality),
N (Name), O (Organization), OU (Organizational Unit), SER (Serial Number), SN (Surname),
SP (State/Province), T (Title), UID (User ID), and UPN (User Principal Name).

Step 6

Optionally, specify the name of the accounting-server group, if any, to use. If you are not using
accounting, go to Step 7. Use the aaa-server command to configure accounting servers. The maximum
length of the group tag is 16 characters.:

hostname(config-tunnel-general)# accounting-server-group groupname

hostname(config-tunnel-general)#

For example, the following command specifies the use of the accounting-server group comptroller:
