5. Partner ACE/Agent configuration Supported authentication types with RSA SecurID product Client-initiated authentication Client initiated authentication means that the user starts the authentication process. It can be done with two tools: Authentication Client software (part of StoneGate VPN Client software) or using Telnet to connect to the firewall cluster on port 2543. It is possible to authorize the client's IP address for a period of time with client initiated authentication. It

StoneGate Firewall / RSA SecurID Configuration – User Authentication The following steps can be carried out using the Stonegate User Manager GUI: • Create an Authentication service (type can be Radius or Tacacs+). • Create Authentication Server/Servers with correct type. 5

• All Created Authentication Servers must be bound to the Authentication Service. Having created your Service(s) and Server(s), you must now create users within the StoneGate user Database. If you want to use ACE/Server authentication as your default Authentication Service for all users, create a special user with the UserName: *external* within the StoneGate user database and bind it to the previously created Authentication Service. 6

Using this generic method of authentication, *external* is the only user you will be required to create within the StoneGate user database. If there is a need to configure Authentication Services on a per user basis, it can be done by creating individual user records within the StoneGate user database and binding them to the appropriate Authentication Service. Using the Security Policy Manager, associate the appropriate access rules to the users or user group being authenticat

7. Known Issues • If a clustered StoneGate firewall solution is used with RSA SecurID then an Agent Host entry must be defined within the ACE/Server database for each firewall cluster member. • The Firewall cluster members share configured authentication service/server information. As a result of this when configuring Agents Hosts on the ACE/Server database, the same Shared Secret value must be used for each cluster member. 11
