Page 180 highlights

ProSafe Gigabit Quad WAN SSL VPN Firewall SRX5308 Reference Manual Configuring XAUTH for VPN Clients Once the XAUTH has been enabled, you must establish user accounts on the User Database to be authenticated against XAUTH, or you must enable a RADIUS-CHAP or RADIUS-PAP server. Note: You cannot modify an existing IKE policy to add XAUTH while the IKE policy is in use by a VPN policy. The VPN policy must be disabled before you can modify the IKE policy. To enable and configure XAUTH: 1. Select VPN > IPSec VPN from the menu. The IPsec VPN submenu tabs display, with the IKE Policies screen in view (see Figure 5-20 on page 5-22). 2. In the List of IKE Policies table, click the Edit table button to the right of the IKE policy for which you want to enable and configure XAUTH. The Edit IKE Policy screen displays. This screen shows the same fields as the Add IKE Policy screen (see Figure 5-21 on page 5-24). 3. In the Extended Authentication section of the screen, complete the fields, select the radio buttons, and make your selections from the drop-down lists as explained Table 5-13. Table 5-13. Extended Authentication Settings Item Description (or Subfield and Description) Select one of the following radio buttons to specify whether or not Extended Authentication (XAUTH) is enabled, and-if enabled-which device is used to verify user account information: • None. XAUTH is disabled. This the default setting. • Edge Device. The VPN firewall functions as a VPN concentrator on which one or more gateway tunnels terminate. The authentication modes that are available for this configuration are User Database, RADIUS PAP, or RADIUS CHAP. • IPSec Host. The VPN firewall functions as a VPN client of the remote gateway. In this configuration the VPN firewall is authenticated by a remote gateway with a user name and password combination. Authentication Type For an Edge Device configuration: from the drop-down list, select one of the following authentication types: • User Database. XAUTH occurs through the VPN firewall's user database. Users must be added through the Add User screen (see "User Database Configuration" on page 5-39). • Radius PAP. XAUTH occurs through RADIUS Password Authentication Protocol (PAP). The local user database is first checked. If the user account is not present in the local user database, the VPN firewall connects to a RADIUS server. For more information, see "RADIUS Client Configuration" on page 5-39. • Radius CHAP. XAUTH occurs through RADIUS Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP). For more information, see "RADIUS Client Configuration" on page 5-39. 5-38 Virtual Private Networking Using IPsec Connections v1.0, April 2010

Configuring XAUTH for VPN Clients
Once the XAUTH has been enabled, you must establish user accounts on the User Database to be
authenticated against XAUTH, or you must enable a RADIUS-CHAP or RADIUS-PAP server.
To enable and configure XAUTH:
1.
Select
VPN
>

Policies screen in view (see
Figure 5-20 on page 5-22
).
2.
In the List of IKE Policies table, click the
Edit
table button to the right of the IKE policy for
which you want to enable and configure XAUTH. The Edit IKE Policy screen displays. This
screen shows the same fields as the Add IKE Policy screen (see
Figure 5-21 on page 5-24
).
3.
In the Extended Authentication section of the screen, complete the fields, select the radio
buttons, and make your selections from the drop-down lists as explained
Table 5-13
.
Note:
You cannot modify an existing IKE policy to add XAUTH while the IKE policy is
in use by a VPN policy. The VPN policy must be disabled before you can modify
the IKE policy.
Table 5-13.
