Enable Authentication Using Two-Factor Authentication

Enable Authentication Using Two-Factor Authentication

1. Set up the IPsec tunnel that the GlobalProtect gateway will use for communicating with a strongSwan client.
   1. Select NetworkGlobalProtectGateways.
   2. Select an existing gateway or Add a new one.
   3. On the Authentication tab of the GlobalProtect Gateway Configuration dialog, select the Certificate Profile and Authentication Profile that you want to use.
   4. Select AgentTunnel Settings to enable Tunnel Mode and specify the following settings to set up the tunnel:
      • Select the check box to Enable X-Auth Support.
      • If a Group Name and Group Password are already configured, remove them.
      • Click OK to save these tunnel settings.
2. Verify that the default connection settings in the conn %default section of the IPsec tunnel configuration file (ipsec.conf) are correctly defined for the strongSwan client.
   The ipsec.conf file usually resides in the /etc folder.

   The configurations in this procedure are tested and verified for the following releases:

   • Ubuntu 14.0.4 with strongSwan 5.1.2 and CentOS 6.5 with strongSwan 5.1.3 for PAN-OS 6.1.
   • Ubuntu 14.0.4 with strongSwan 5.2.1 for PAN-OS 7.0.

   Use the configurations in this procedure as a reference if you are using a different version of strongSwan. Refer to the strongSwan wiki for more information.

   Configure the following recommended settings in the ipsec.conf file:

   ikelifetime=20m 
   reauth=yes 
   rekey=yes 
   keylife=10m 
   rekeymargin=3m 
   rekeyfuzz=0% 
   keyingtries=1 
   type=tunnel 
3. Modify the strongSwan client’s IPsec configuration file (ipsec.conf) and the IPsec password file (ipsec.secrets) to use recommended settings.
   The ipsec.secrets file is usually found in the /etc folder.

   Use the strongSwan client username as the certificate’s common name.

   Configure the following recommended settings in the ipsec.conf file:

   conn <connection name> 
   keyexchange=ikev1 
   authby=xauthrsasig 
   ike=aes-sha1-modp1024 
   esp=aes-sha1 
   xauth=client 
   left=<strongSwan/Linux-client-IP-address> 
   leftcert=<client-certificate-without-password> 
   leftsourceip=%config 
   right=<GlobalProtect-gateway-IP-address> 
   rightid=%anyCN=<Subject-name-of-gateway-cert>” 
   rightsubnet=0.0.0.0/0 
   leftauth2=xauth 
   xauth_identity=<LDAP username> 
   auto=add 

   Configure the following recommended settings in the ipsec.secrets file:

   <username> :XAUTH “<user password>” 
   ::RSA <private key file> “<passphrase if used>” 
4. Start strongSwan IPsec services and connect to the IPsec tunnel that you want the strongSwan client to use when authenticating to the GlobalProtect gateway.
   • Ubuntu:

     ipsec start  
     ipsec up <name> 

   • CentOS:

     strongSwan start 
     strongswan up <name> 
5. Verify that the tunnel is set up correctly and the VPN connection is established to both the strongSwan client and the GlobalProtect gateway.
   1. Verify the detailed status information on a specific connection (by naming the connection) or verify the status information for all connections from the strongSwan client:
      • Ubuntu:

        ipsec statusall [<connection name>]

      • CentOS:

        strongswan statusall [<connection name>]

   2. Select NetworkGlobalProtectGateways. In the Info column, select Remote Users for the gateway configured for the connection to the strongSwan client. The strongSwan client should be listed under Current Users.
