Cisco WSA Policies

Leave a comment

In this and other posts we’ll discuss the Cisco Web Security Appliance. This is the blog agenda:
Part 1: Introduction
Part 2: Installing
Part 3: Deploying Proxy Services
Part 4: Policies
Part 5: Acceptable use & HTTPS Inspection
Part 6: Authentication
Part 7: Defending malware
This is the 4th part of the series.
Creating policies is one the major (en most fun) part of the WSA. In this blog I’ll cover the configuration of access policies and identities.
Click  Web Security Manager > Access Policies
access policy default
Only one policy can be applied. This is based on first match (top-down). If no policy matches, the Global Policy will be used.
First, you have to create a identity. An identity doesn’t identify a user, but it identifies a client or transaction that may require authentication. Identity membership is determined before authentication is done. Policy group membership is determined after authentication is performed.
Click  Web Security Manager > Identities > add identity and create the identity, based on IP’s ip ranges or IP subnets. Possible identities are:

  • Kiosk users
  • Update agents
  • Company users

How to: Cisco WLC Tacacs/radius for management

Leave a comment

It took some time this morning for configuring a RADIUS or TACACS server for management access to a Cisco WLC. So, let’s write a short how-to:

  1. Login into the WLC and click Security – AAA – TACACS+ (or Radius) – Authentication
  2. Click New and enter:
    • Server IP Address – IP address of the TACACS server
    • Shared secret – The configured shared secret on the TACACS server
  3. If you’re using TACACS, click Authorization and enter the same Server IP address and Shared Secret. Configuring accounting is optional
  4. Click Security – Priority order – Management user and make sure TACACS (or radius) is in top of the list
