The Juniper SRX Services Gateway VPN must uniquely identify and authenticate non-organizational users (or processes acting on behalf of non-organizational users).

Overview

Finding ID	Version	Rule ID	IA Controls	Severity
V-214688	JUSX-VN-000021	SV-214688r385519_rule		Medium

Description
Lack of authentication and identification enables non-organizational users to gain access to the network or possibly a network element that provides opportunity for intruders to compromise resources within the network infrastructure. This requirement only applies to components where this is specific to the function of the device or has the concept of a non-organizational user.

On an Internet search engine, search for ldp.exe, which is a very basic LDAP browser. When using LDAP groups to authenticate a user, or a user belonging to a group in the active directory, include the following statement: set access profile session-options client-group Note: Without the above statement, users are not searched based on the group name or group string. The IP address pool configuration is as follows (the user will be assigned the IP from this pool): set access address-assignment pool dyn-vpn-pool family inet network (e.g.. 192.168.100.0/24) set access address-assignment pool dyn-vpn-pool family inet range dyn-vpn-pool-range low (e.g.. 192.168.100.1) set access address-assignment pool dyn-vpn-pool family inet range dyn-vpn-pool-range high (e.g.. 192.168.100.100) Note: The IP network used for dynamic VPN users should be different from the IP network of the external interface used in the IKE configuration. The access profile is linked to the xauth of the gateway for dynamic VPN. set security ike gateway xauth access-profile Under security >> dynamic-vpn, add all the users that are going to use the dynamic VPN. The command is as follows: set security dynamic-vpn clients all user Note: Users who are going to use dynamic VPN. This will be the AD user logon name for each user.

When using LDAP groups to authenticate a user, or a user belonging to a group in the active directory, include the following statement:

set access profile session-options client-group

Note: Without the above statement, users are not searched based on the group name or group string.

The IP address pool configuration is as follows (the user will be assigned the IP from this pool):

set access address-assignment pool dyn-vpn-pool family inet network (e.g.. 192.168.100.0/24)
set access address-assignment pool dyn-vpn-pool family inet range dyn-vpn-pool-range low (e.g.. 192.168.100.1)
set access address-assignment pool dyn-vpn-pool family inet range dyn-vpn-pool-range high (e.g.. 192.168.100.100)

Note: The IP network used for dynamic VPN users should be different from the IP network of the external interface used in the IKE configuration.

The access profile is linked to the xauth of the gateway for dynamic VPN.

set security ike gateway xauth access-profile

Under security >> dynamic-vpn, add all the users that are going to use the dynamic VPN. The command is as follows:

set security dynamic-vpn clients all user

Note: Users who are going to use dynamic VPN. This will be the AD user logon name for each user.
