5512 ASA open Port 443

cchen
Level 1
Level 1
hello,
I have a firewall 5512 asa I need help to port forward to port 443
I already set up the forward, according this guide https://www.petenetlive.com/KB/Article/0000077,
but the port seems be blocked.
before the port forward I had to change the webvpn port 443 to another, after that I created network object and access rule
 
I use ASDM 7.1 and have ASA Version 9.1

@cchen example of NAT reflection/hairpin:-

nat (inside,inside) source static INTERNAL-LAN interface destination static SERVER01-NAT-IP SERVER01-REAL-IP

Change the objects to reflect your internal network.

Guide here for FTD but it's the same logic for ASA.

""but the port seems be blocked.""
how you know that ?

to check config use this command 
ciscoasa# sh asp table socket

Since I forwarded the Port it should open a webpage that I host on that forwarded IP
I checked it with a port scanner service

Output of sh asp table socket
Protocol Socket State Local Address Foreign Address
SSL 000065f8 LISTEN 192.168.4.1:4433 0.0.0.0:*
SSL 008928a8 ESTAB 192.168.4.1:4433 192.168.4.2:65418
SSL 008a87b8 ESTAB 192.168.4.1:4433 192.168.4.2:65424
SSL 008f4198 ESTAB 192.168.4.1:4433 192.168.4.2:50365

I see three user hence I think the issue is license where ASA come with 3 user.
so you need license to allow more users. 

which license feature do I need to increase ?

I need the Port 443 to get state listen, dont I  ?

""before the port forward I had to change the webvpn port 443 to another, after that I created network object and access rule""
so I understand that you have SSL anyconnect and you change webvpn to other port in outside interface? please confirm that.
 

No it was not outside interface, the 443 was the webvpn for ASDM access

not OUT side interface ? 
you meaning using different interface than OUT for SSL connection ??
can you share the config ?

If you have remote access VPN ("webvpn") or ASDM access enabled on port 443,those must be changed before setting up any NAT rule or port forwarding to use the interface address port 443.

Please share your current config for those options if you have any doubt.

This is what I exactly did

I will check your config today 

Hey according to @Marvin Rhoads I cant access the server if Im in the same network.

It seems like it could be solved by hairpin nat, do you know how do configure it ?
Thx for your time

@cchen example of NAT reflection/hairpin:-

nat (inside,inside) source static INTERNAL-LAN interface destination static SERVER01-NAT-IP SERVER01-REAL-IP

Change the objects to reflect your internal network.

Guide here for FTD but it's the same logic for ASA.

As @Rob Ingram noted, we can do it with hairpin NAT.

I didn't actually say you cannot do it, only that "You cannot normally connect to a public IP presented on the outside interface of a firewall if you are on the inside. You can play some tricks with DNS to get the FQDN to resolve to your internal address - that's the most common means used for such access."

Note that hairpin NAT will "trick" the traffic to come back inwards without having been actually processed by the full firewall logic. For that reason (among others) we generally try to avoid it. There are many thing an ASA CAN do; but that doesn't mean we SHOULD do them all.

totally right.
