Intrusion Prevention Services Functional Overview Intrusion Prevention Services Functional Overview The Cisco ASA 5500 series adaptive security appliance supports the AIP SSM, an intrusion prevention services module that monitors and performs real-time analysis of network traffic by looking for anomalies and misuse based on an extensive, embedded signature library. When the system detects unauthorized activity, it can terminate the specific connection, permanently block the attacking host, log the incident, and send an alert to the device manager.
Page 53: Chapter 2 Getting Started
• Getting Started with Your Platform Model This guide applies to multiple security appliance platforms and models: the PIX 500 series security appliances and the ASA 5500 series adaptive security appliances. There are some hardware differences between the PIX and the ASA security appliance. Moreover, the ASA 5505 includes a built-in switch, and requires some special configuration.

Your security appliance might already be configured for multiple security contexts depending on how you ordered it from Cisco. If you are upgrading, however, you might need to convert from single mode to multiple mode by following the procedures in this section. ASDM does not support changing modes, so you need to change modes using the CLI.

Page 360: Authentication Overview
A user at a given IP address only needs to authenticate one time for all rules and types, until the authentication session expires. (See the timeout uauth command in the Cisco Security Appliance Command Reference for timeout values.) For example, if you configure the security appliance to authenticate Telnet and FTP, and a user first successfully authenticates for Telnet, then as long as the authentication session exists, the user does not also have to authenticate for FTP.
Page 361: Static Pat And Http
Then users do not see the authentication page. Instead, the security appliance sends to the web browser an error message indicating that the user must be authenticated prior using the requested service. Enabling Network Access Authentication To enable network access authentication, perform the following steps: Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide 19-3 OL-12172-03...
Page 362 Step You can alternatively use the aaa authentication include command (which identifies traffic within the Note command). However, you cannot use both methods in the same configuration.

Secured web-client authentication has the following limitations: A maximum of 16 concurrent HTTPS authentication sessions are allowed.

Page 366: Configuring Authorization For Network Access
Because a user at a given IP address only needs to authenticate one time for all rules and types, if the authentication session hasn’t expired, authorization can occur even if the traffic is matched by an authentication statement. Cisco Security Appliance Command Line Configuration Guide 19-8 OL-12172-03...
Page 367 Alternatively, you can use the aaa authorization include command (which identifies traffic Note within the command) but you cannot use both methods in the same configuration. See the Cisco Security Appliance Command Reference for more information. The following commands authenticate and authorize inside Telnet traffic. Telnet traffic to servers other than 209.165.201.5 can be authenticated alone, but traffic to 209.165.201.5 requires authorization.

Page 369 Because the name of the downloadable access list includes the date and time it was last modified, matching the name sent by Cisco Secure ACS to the name of an access list previous downloaded means that the security appliance has the most recent version of the downloadable access list.
Page 370 An example of an attribute-value pair follows: ip:inacl#1=permit tcp 10.1.0.0 255.0.0.0 10.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 If the access list required is more than approximately 4 KB in length, Cisco Secure ACS responds with an access-challenge message that contains a portion of the access list, formatted as described above, and an State attribute (IETF RADIUS attribute 24), which contains control data used by Cisco Secure ACS to track the progress of the download.
Page 371 If this parameter is omitted, the sequence value is 0, and the order of the ACEs inside the cisco-av-pair RADIUS VSA is used. The following example is an access list definition as it should be configured for a cisco-av-pair VSA on a RADIUS server: ip:inacl#1=permit tcp 10.1.0.0 255.0.0.0 10.0.0.0 255.0.0.0...

Page 373 Alternatively, you can use the aaa accounting include command (which identifies traffic within Note the command) but you cannot use both methods in the same configuration. See the Cisco Security Appliance Command Reference for more information. The following commands authenticate, authorize, and account for inside Telnet traffic.

With the exception of the home zone on the Cisco ASA 5505, the security appliance can simultaneously support standard IPSec, IPSec over TCP, NAT-T, and IPSec over UDP, depending on the client with which it is exchanging data.
Page 570: Enabling Ipsec Over Tcp
NAT devices that do support IP fragmentation. Enabling IPSec over TCP IPSec over TCP enables a Cisco VPN client to operate in an environment in which standard ESP or ISAKMP cannot function, or can function only with modification to existing firewall rules. IPSec over TCP encapsulates both the ISAKMP and IPSec protocols within a TCP-like packet, and enables secure tunneling through both NAT and PAT devices and firewalls.
Page 571: Waiting For Active Sessions To Terminate Before Rebooting
The security appliance can notify qualified peers (in LAN-to-LAN configurations), Cisco VPN clients and VPN 3002 hardware clients of sessions that are about to be disconnected. The peer or client receiving the alert decodes the reason and displays it in the event log or in a pop-up pane.

Page 726: Assigning A Nac Policy To A Group Policy
NAC Framework support for clientless authentication is configurable. It applies to hosts that do not have a Cisco Trust Agent to fulfill the role of posture agent. The security appliance applies the default access policy, sends the EAP over UDP request for posture validation, and the request times out. If the security appliance is not configured to request a policy for clientless hosts from the Access Control Server, it retains the default access policy already in use for the clientless host.
