Configure LDAP Authentication for a Dedicated Log Collector
Configure LDAP authentication for a Dedicated Log Collector.
You can use LDAP to authenticate end
users who access Dedicated Log Collector web interface.
- Add an LDAP server profile.The profile defines how the Dedicated Log Collector connects to the LDAP server.Only Superuser administrators are supported when configuring an administrative account for a Dedicated Log Collector. Local or Panorama Administrators with any other admin role type is not supported.
- SelectandPanoramaServer ProfilesLDAPAdda server profile.
- Enter aProfile Nameto identify the server profile.
- Addthe LDAP servers (up to four). For each server, enter aName(to identify the server),LDAP ServerIP address or FQDN, and serverPort(default 389).If you use an FQDN address object to identify the server and you subsequently change the address, you must commit the change for the new server address to take effect.
- Select the serverType.
- Select theBase DN.To identify the Base DN of your directory, open theActive Directory Domains and TrustsMicrosoft Management Console snap-in and use the name of the top-level domain.
- Enter theBind DNandPasswordto enable the authentication service to authenticate the firewall.The Bind DN account must have permission to read the LDAP directory.
- Enter theBind TimeoutandSearch Timeoutin seconds (default is 30 for both).
- Enter theRetry Intervalin seconds (default is 60).
- (Optional) If you want the endpoint to use SSL or TLS for a more secure connection with the directory server, enable the option toRequire SSL/TLS secured connection(enabled by default). The protocol that the endpoint uses depends on the server port:
- 389 (default)—TLS (Specifically, the Dedicated Log Collector uses the StartTLS operation, which upgrades the initial plaintext connection to TLS.)
- 636—SSL
- Any other port—The Dedicated Log Collector first attempts to use TLS. If the directory server doesn’t support TLS, the Dedicated Log Collector falls back to SSL.
- (Optional) For additional security, enable to the option toVerify Server Certificate for SSL sessionsso that the endpoint verifies the certificate that the directory server presents for SSL/TLS connections. To enable verification, you must also enable the option toRequire SSL/TLS secured connection. For verification to succeed, the certificate must meet one of the following conditions:
- It is in the list of Panorama certificates:If necessary, import the certificate into Panorama.PanoramaCertificate ManagementCertificatesDevice Certificates.
- The certificate signer is in the list of trusted certificate authorities:.PanoramaCertificate ManagementCertificates
- ClickOKto save the server profile.
- Configure the authentication for the Dedicated Log Collector.
- Selectand select the Dedicated Log Collector you previously added.PanoramaManaged Collectors
- Configure the authenticationTimeout Configurationfor the Dedicated Log Collector.
- Enter the number ofFailed Attempts before a user is locked out of the Dedicated Log Collector CLI.
- Enter theLockout Time, in minutes, for which the Dedicated Log Collector locks out a user account after that user reaches the configured number ofFailed Attempts.
- Enter theIdle Timeout, in minutes, before the user account is automatically logged out due to inactivity.
- Enter theMax Session Countto set how many user accounts can simultaneously access the Dedicated Log Collector.
- Enter theMax Session Timethe administrator can be logged in before being automatically logged out.
- Add the Dedicated Log Collector administrators.Administrators may either be added as a local administrator or as an imported Panorama administrator—but not both. Adding the same administrator as both a local administrator and as an imported Panorama administrator is not supported and causes the Panorama commit to fail. For example, the commit to Panorama fails if you addadmin1as both a local and Panorama administrator.
- Configure the local administrators.Configure new administrators unique to the Dedicated Log Collector. These administrators are specific to the Dedicated Log Collector for which they are created and you manage these administrators from this table.
- Addone or more new local administrator.
- Enter aNamefor the local administrator.
- Assign anAuthentication Profileyou previously created.LDAP authentication profiles are supported only for individual local administrators.
- Enable (check)Use Public Key Authentication (SSH)to import a public key file for authentication.
- Select aPassword Profileto set the expiration parameters.
- Import existing Panorama administratorsImport existing administrators configured on Panorama. These administrators are configured and managed on Panorama and imported to Dedicated Log Collector.
- Addan existing Panorama administrator
- ClickOKto save the Dedicated Log Collector authentication configuration.
- Configure the authentication for the Dedicated Log Collector.
- Selectand select the Dedicated Log Collector you previously added.PanoramaManaged Collectors
- Select theAuthentication Profileyou configured in the previous step.
- Configure the authenticationTimeout Configurationfor the Dedicated Log Collector.
- Enter the number ofFailed Attempts before a user is locked out of the Dedicated Log Collector CLI.
- Enter theLockout Time, in minutes, for which the Dedicated Log Collector locks out a user account after that user reaches the configured number ofFailed Attempts.
- Enter theIdle Timeout, in minutes, before the user account is automatically logged out due to inactivity.
- Enter theMax Session Countto set how many user accounts can simultaneously access the Dedicated Log Collector.
- Enter theMax Session Timethe administrator can be logged in before being automatically logged out.
- Add the Dedicated Log Collector administrators.You must add the administrator (admin) as either a local administrator or as an imported Panorama administrator—but not both. The push to managed collectors fails if an administrator is not added or if the administrator is added as both a local administrator and as an imported Panorama administrator.
- Addand configure new administrators unique to the Dedicated Log Collector. These administrators are specific to the Dedicated Log Collector for which they are created and you manage these administrators from this table.
- Addany administrators configured on Panorama. These administrators are created on Panorama and imported to the Dedicated Log Collector.
- ClickOKto save the Dedicated Log Collector authentication configuration.
- Commitand thenCommit and Pushyour configuration changes.
- Log in to the Panorama CLI of the Dedicated Log Collector to verify you can successfully access the Dedicated Log Collector using the local admin user.
