FMC Integration with Active Directory

modular182 — Tue, 18 Feb 2025 23:32:56 GMT

Once I set up FMC Integration with Active Directly will the Firepowers managed by the FMC now be accessible using AD credentials? I understand how to integrate AD with FMC, but once you do this will I be able to SSH to the individual Firepowers managed by FMC using AD credentials? Or is there another process that you must go through to allow this?

Thank you!

@modular182 you need to configure External Authentication under the Platform Settings policy that is applied to the FTDs. You can use either LDAP or RADIUS. https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/security/secure-firewall/management-center/device-config/740/management-center-device-config-74/interfaces-settings-platform.html#task_hx5_5hy_1cb

Yes that is correct. Please check this post of mine where you can see all the configuration steps required to make that happens. It is similar to my post shared by @MHM Cisco World the only difference is that this one is more focused on the FTD accesses. In both posts I used RADIUS via ISE which was integrated with my AD.
