Securing the network by ensuring the right users, the right access, to the right set of resources is the core function of Cisco’s Identity Services Engine (ISE). ISE builds context about users (Who), device type (What), access time (When), access location (Where), access type (wired/wireless/VPN) (How), and most important threats, and vulnerabilities. All of these pieces of contextual data is fed into defining logical policy groups, called Scalable Group Tags, for every connected endpoint. These context-aware tags are then used to form the basis of security policies, centrally managed on ISE and enforced on different parts of the network in a traditional way or using the network fabric- as part of Software Defined Access (SDA).
Duo Security is highly aligned to our intent-based networking vision and strategy, and reinforces our existing ISE and DNA Center capabilities. Additionally, it will help accelerate the adoption of SDA, by extending policy into the cloud and by unifying network segmentation with cloud access control. We are bringing together zero trust workforce capabilities from Duo, with zero trust workplace capabilities from SDA, to create the industry's only comprehensive Zero Trust capable network
“I have employees and contractors on my network. My objective is to securely connect these users by using MFA and then assign them a secure network policy by using ISE for segmentation. Employees and Contractor’s are on the same network but they cannot talk to each other. Employee’s get full access to my on-prem network resources or network resources in my data center, Contractors get limited network access.
Configure ISE’s web-based authentication portal as a protected application with Duo MFA. After successful 2FA, ISE grants users network access based upon Group-Based Policies.
The Duo terminology “protecting an application” simply means that access to that application is redirected through the Duo Access Gateway. This redirection is necessary to add in second factor authentication before allowing application access (this assumes that network layer access is not restricted). In addition, the DAG can also enforce additional application policies such as checking the user, device, and network permissions specified by the DUO Administration panel.
Note: Before proceeding it is assumed that an identity source has been configured. If this step has not been done, please reference Duo Access Gateway for more details.
The steps below ties in the ISE Guest web portal as a protected application to add in the secondary authentication sequence with Duo PUSH. ISE Guest allows users to gain network access via a HTTP or HTTPS login. Duo Single Sign on will then initiate the 2nd authentication back to the user via DUO push.
8. Navigate to Work Centers->Guest Access->Portals & Components->Guest Portals
9. Click the link Sponsored Guest Portal (default)
10. Expand “Portal Settings” and select the profile name configured in step 5a. (e.g. duoSAML)
11. Click Save
12. Navigate back to Administration->Identity Management->External Identity Sources->SAML ID Providers-duoSAML
13. From the Service Provider Info tab, click Export and save the resulting zip file.
Note: The files in this zip contain the application configuration data required to bind Duo to the ISE guest portal
15. Extract the zip and view the extracted xml file
16. Search for the "Entity ID" string and copy the resulting string ( the string would look something link this: "http://CiscoISE/f079c670-7159-11e7-a355-005056aba474")
17. Log in to the Duo Admin Panel and click Applications, and then click Protect an Application
18. Locate SAML Service Provider in the list of applications, and then click the Protect this Application link.
19. Enter the following information:
Name | Description |
Service Provider Name | e.g. ISE Portal |
Entity ID | copied string from Step 16 |
Assertion Consumer Service | https://<ISE FDQN>:8443/portal/SSOLoginResponse.action |
20. Scroll to the bottom and click Save Configuration button and download the configuration file.
21. Log in to the Duo Access Gateway
22. Navigate to Applications. Upload the .json configuration file from Step 20
23. On ISE, navigate to Work Centers->Guest Access->Portals -> Components->Guest Portals
24. Click the link Sponsored Guest Portal (default)
25. Right click and copy the link for “Portal Test URL”
Note: These steps are to workaround an ISE defect
26. Paste the edited link into a browser. After successfully authenticating, you should see the following pop up
27. Click Continue. This concludes the test
In the steps below, you will enable web authentication so that users are redirected to the ISE Guest Portal to start the MFA process.
28. Log into ISE, navigate to Policy->Policy Elements->Results->Authorization->Authorization Profiles
29. Create an authorization profile, such as “WebAuth Wired DUO”, with the following configuration:
30. Continue to scroll down within Common Tasks to select “Web Redirection”. Configure as follows:
31. Click Submit
32. Navigate to Policy->Policy Sets
33. Expand the default policy set by clicking the > on the right of the screen
The resulting view will look like this:
34. Expand Authorization Policy. Add new policies that reference the SAML groups from Step 7. Also modify the Default policy to user the "WebAuth Wired DUO" profile rather than "Deny Access"
Note: Also disable the Basic_Authenticated_Access rule
In the previous exercise you configured ISE and DUO to work together to secure the network connection process with Duo MFA. Now that the user is connected, in the steps below you will further secure network access using group-based segmentation. In the example below, the policy created will mitigate the spread of malware between Employees and Contractors.
Note: For clarity, configuration specific to backend TrustSec functions is omitted from the steps below. Please reference the Appendix for TrustSec specific configuration details.
1. On ISE, navigate to Work Centers->TrustSec->TrustSec Policy
2. Select ADD in the policy matrix menu
3. Configure new policies as follows:
4. Click Save
Note: The “Anti-Malware SGACL” contains rules that deny specific tcp and udp traffic. To review the rules contained within this SGACL, navigate to Work Centers->TrustSec->Components->Security Group ACLs
Every TrustSec deployment starts with classification. Classification is the process of defining and assigning a Security Group Tag (SGT) that is used to represent the group a server or user belongs to. These classifications are downloaded to TrustSec devices that will either forward them to other TrustSec devices and/or use them for enforcement.
This example has the users categorized as employees and contractors which are pre-defined security groups in ISE. By default, ISE has 16 pre-defined, commonly used, security groups.
1.
ISE communicates with network devices for many tasks. In the classification phase, network device queries ISE to authenticate and authorize users and devices. For enforcement, the enforcement device queries ISE to retrieve access policy and keeps its policy table up-to-date. In the following section you will register the 3k-access switch to exchange these pieces of information
1. Navigate to Work Centers→TrustSec→Components→Network Devices
2. Edit/Add your access layer switch
3. Select the Advance TrustSec Settings checkbox. This expands the SGT attributes of the Network Device definition.
4. Set the password
5. Click Save
In a TrustSec enabled network, all switches that join the TrustSec domain are classified with a SGT (commonly referred as the “device SGT”). This classification occurs as result of the switches authenticating to ISE, a process called Network Device Admission Control (NDAC). Once the switches have this SGT, traffic that is initiated from the switch will be tagged with this SGT.
1. Navigate to Workcenters->TrustSec->Policy->Network Device Authorization
2. Click “Edit” (you may need to scroll to the right to see this)
3. Modify the rule to use the TrustSec_Device_SGT tag as shown below
4. Click Save
Policy Acquisition phase in the TrustSec architecture is to establish pipeline between network device and ISE, and eventually download necessary policies for enforcement. Information exchanged in this pipeline would be Security Group Tag value and its name, Device SGT, and other policy expiration timer to keep the policy up-to-date on each device.
In order for network device to query ISE and obtain appropriate policies or policy elements, network devices authenticate to ISE, claiming its privilege to download such policies. We are going through configurations based on the network device type.
1. Configure the credentials that will used for NDAC
3k-access#cts credentials id 3k-access password ISEisC00L
2. Configure the 3650 to obtain policy from ISE. Enter configuration mode (configure terminal) and enter the following commands:
aaa authorization network CTS-MLIST group radius
cts authorization list CTS-MLIST
radius server ise-1
address ipv4 10.1.100.21 auth-port 1812 acct-port 1813
