Chapter 8 Managing VPN Remote Access
Configuring Extended Authentication (Xauth)
Note The IKE Mode Config feature also is negotiated between IKE Phase 1 and 2. If both features are
configured, Xauth is performed first.
The Xauth feature is optional and is enabled using the crypto map map-name client authentication
aaa-group-tag command. AAA must be configured on the PIX
Firewall using the aaa-server group_tag
(if_name) host server_ip key timeout seconds command before Xauth is enabled. Use the same AAA
server name within the aaa-server and crypto map client authentication command statements. See the
aaa-server command and the crypto map command in the Cisco PIX Firewall Command Reference for
more information.
Follow these steps to configure Xauth on your PIX Firewall:
Step 1 Set up your basic AAA Server:
aaa-server group_tag (if_name) host server_ip key
For example:
aaa-server TACACS+ (outside) host 10.0.0.2 secret123
This example specifies that the authentication server with the IP address 10.0.0.2 resides on the outside
interface and is in the default TACACS+ server group. The key “secret123” is used between the
PIX
Firewall and the TACACS+ server for encrypting data between them.
Step 2 Enable Xauth. Be sure to specify the same AAA server group tag within the crypto map client
authentication command statement as was specified in the aaa-server command statement.
crypto map map-name client authentication aaa-group-tag
For example:
crypto map mymap client authentication TACACS+
In this example, Xauth is enabled at the crypto map “mymap” and the server specified in the TACACS+
group will be used for user authentication.
Step 3 (Optional) Perform this step for each site-to-site VPN peer that shares the same interface as the VPN
client(s) and is configured to use a pre-shared key. This step allows the PIX
Firewall to make an
exception to the Xauth feature for the given site-to-site VPN peer.
isakmp key keystring address ip-address [netmask mask] [no-xauth] [no-config-mode]
For example:
isakmp key secretkey1234 address 10.2.2.2 netmask 255.255.255.255 no-xauth
Step 4 (Optional) To make an exception to the Xauth feature for the given site-to-site VPN peer, enter the
following command:
isakmp peer fqdn fqdn [no-xauth] [no-config-mode]
Perform this step for each site-to-site VPN peer that shares the same interface as the VPN client(s) and
is configured to use RSA-signatures.
For example:
isakmp peer fqdn hostname1.example.com no-xauth
