In some environments, user accounts reside in multiple directories
(such as LDAP and RADIUS). An authentication sequence is a set of
authentication profiles that the firewall tries to use for authenticating
users when they log in. The firewall tries the profiles sequentially
from the top of the list to the bottom—applying the authentication,
Kerberos single sign-on, allow list, and account lockout values
for each—until one profile successfully authenticates the user.
The firewall only denies access if all profiles in the sequence
fail to authenticate. For details on authentication profiles, see Device
> Authentication Profile.
Configure an authentication sequence
with multiple authentication profiles that use different authentication
methods. Configure at least two external authentication methods
and one local (internal) method so connectivity issues don’t prevent
authentication. Make the local authentication profile the last profile
in the sequence so it’s only used if all external authentication
methods fail. (External authentication provides dedicated, reliable,
centralized authentication services, including logging and troubleshooting
features.)
Authentication Sequence Settings | Description |
---|---|
Name | Enter a name to identify the sequence. The
name is case-sensitive, can have up to 31 characters, and can include
only letters, numbers, spaces, hyphens, underscores, and periods.
The name must be unique in the current Location (firewall
or virtual system) relative to other authentication sequences and
to authentication profiles. In a firewall
that has multiple virtual systems, if the Location of
the authentication sequence is a virtual system (vsys), don’t enter
the same name as an authentication profile in the Shared location.
Similarly, if the sequence Location is Shared, don’t
enter the same name as a profile in a vsys. While you can commit an
authentication sequence and profile with the same names in these cases,
reference errors might occur. |
Location | Select the scope in which the sequence is
available. In the context of a firewall that has more than one virtual
system (vsys), select a vsys or select Shared (all
virtual systems). In any other context, you can’t select the Location; its
value is predefined as Shared (firewalls) or as Panorama. After
you save the sequence, you can’t change its Location. |
Exit the sequence on failed authentication
|
If the credentials that the user enters during login match any
authentication profile in the authentication sequence (either with
or without normalization), the firewall discontinues the
authentication sequence if the firewall cannot successfully
authenticate the user instead of completing the rest of the
authentication sequence in top-to-bottom order.
|
Use domain to determine authentication profile | The following option applies for LDAP authentication profiles only and is enabled by default.
Use User-ID domain to determine authentication
profile—Normalizes the domain name that the user
enters when logging in before using the domain name to check the
authentication profiles in sequence. If you do not select this
option, the firewall does not normalize the domain name that the
user enters during login before applying the authentication profile
sequence. If you disable this option, the firewall does not normalize the domain name and tries to match
the domain name with the authentication profiles in the sequence in
top-to-bottom order even if authentication is not successful. |
Authentication Profiles | Click Add and select
from the drop-down for each authentication profile you want to add
to the sequence. To change the list order, select a profile and
click Move Up or Move Down.
To remove a profile, select it and click Delete. You
cannot add an authentication profile that specifies a multi-factor
authentication (MFA) server profile or a Security Assertion Markup
Language (SAML) Identity Provider server profile. |
