GlobalProtect + Client Certificate

IT-security

Setup the client certificate deployment by following this guide : https://www.virtuallyboring.com/setup-microsoft-active-directory-certificate-services-ad-cs/

Start of by exporting the CA certificate:

Install the certificate on you Palo Alto Firewall:

the certificate should look something like this:

Create a Certificate profile:


Add this profile to your Authentication settings on the GlobalProtect gateway:

Now you can access your globalprotect vpn with the required client certificate.

If you get disconnected right away you can check the debug logs undre Troubleshooting, look for this message:

indicating the client certificate is not correct or missing

Setting up Palo Alto GlobalProtect VPN 2fa-authentication using Google Authenticator

IT-security

TL;DR : Enable free 2FA using an Ubuntu server, Google authenticator and FreeRadius on service supporting radius authentication.

So, I’ve been messing around with this for a while, and I decided I’d create a post showing how to do it.

Basicly i have a small Ubuntu Server, with Free radius, and Google authenticator module. Using the users defined on the Ubuntu server as allowed-users.

Step1: Start installing the needed tools on the Ubuntu server running this command

This will install the applications and tools you need. There are different ways of setting up free-radius in terms of the user running the service, but since I hate services running as root I used the freerad user account with lower privlegdes.

Step 2: edit the /etc/freeradius/users file, and add the following:

Step3: edit the /etc/freeradius/sites-enabled/default and remove # before PAM

Step4: edit the file /etc/freeradius/clients.conf. Add these lines to the end. Change the ip-adress allowed andradius secret to whatever you need it to be, I recommend using a password generator…

Then Restart the service: sudo service freeradius restart

Step 5: Then edit the /etc/pam.d/radiusd file to define the google authenticator:

Step 6: For each user you need to create a google authenticator token. running the command google_authenticator as each user will guide you trough the process.

You can scan the QR-code in the google authenticator app, and ofcourse keep the backupcodes of later use (you can access these keys by viewing .google_authenticator file)

A file named .google_authenticator will be created in each users homefolder. We need to move this file in to the freeradius folder under /etc/freeradius/*USERNAME*

Step 6.1: Since we dont use the root user we need to allow the freerad user to access the google authenticator file for the user (the user is named TEST here):

Step 7: Test the setup using radtest:

Yellow is the google authenticator code

If the test is successfull you should see this line:

Step 8: Configure the Palo Alto firewall to use the radius server with 2FA for Global Protect VPN:

Go to Device, then Server Profiles, and select Radius. Create new radius profile:

To test the settings, commit and from CLI to the firewall type:

Ofcourse you need to change the profilename and username to what it needs to be.
At the passwordprompt type YourPassword+GoogleAuthenticatorCode
Result should look something like this.

For more troubleshooting if this does not work.

tail -f /var/log/auth.log

or

tail -f /var/log/freeradius/freeradius.log

Troubleshooting from cli (yes, i use Tmux.)

Step 9: Go to authentication profile, and add a new


Add this profile to the portal config:

Step 10: Test the config

Commit the config, visit the Globalprotect portal externally. Type in username, and in the passwordfield, type thepassword + the google authenticator code.

So if your password is MyPassword and google authenticator code is 123 456 the password you type in would be “MyPassword123456”

Step 12: Testing the authentication in the GlobalProtect client

Download and install the client, if you havent done it yet. Add the portal address, your username and password+googleauthenticator:


And you’re logged in

Remember to change password at next logon. I use this settings aswell:

LATER: I will do a turitorial on LDAP integration aswell later.

Blocking malicius IP’s automaticly with Palo Alto Firewalls

IT-security

So I’ve been thinking of creating a post of how to block ips when they try to do something bad to your system, for example a exploit related to a wordpress plugin on your dmz-webserver. It’s quite easy and extremely effective. Just setup a profile that will automaticly block the ip when it tries to do bad things.

So first of all, create a TAG. Name it something related to blocked-ips

Create a Dynamic type Address Group for this TAG:

Then create a LogForwarding profile:

I chose 1440 mins timeout, so that they will be blocked for excatly 1 day.

The result should be something like this:


You now have a setup that matches the severity Cirtical of the logtype Threat, that adds the sourceip of the traffic-log to the BLOCKED-HOSTS tag.

Now you can use your own incomming rule and add this log-forwarding profile to it. (BE SURE that you have a threat profile active on the rule)

To block these IP’s you need to create a Rule above the inbound rule to block these IPs:


And you are good to go. Get rid of those idiots (for a selected time atleast)

Using DHCP on PAN device as User-ID, based on device-name

IT-security, ,

 

If you’re using DHCP on a PAN device, and want to get a simple way to identify users machines / phone based on device names, you can do so easylie with syslog.

This setup will convert this logline from DHCP:

DHCP lease started ip 192.168.18.140 --> mac 34:02:86:XX:XX:XX - hostname PCNO00198, interface ethernet1/2

To This:

This works from 8.0.0 and up.

My setup:

Ethernet1/1 -> x.x.x.x    Untrust

Ethernet1/2 -> 192.168.18.1 INSIDE (DHCP Server)

Ethernet1/3 -> 10.198.100.1 Guest (DHCP Server)

All serviceroutes setup to use Ethernet1/2, 192.168.18.1 (since I don’t use the dedicated managementport. User Identification ACL has to be enabled for the Zone you want to monitor:

 

 

Step 1:

Under Device, Server Profiles, and Syslog. Create a syslog profile that forward logs UDP port 514 to your own devices interface ip.

Step 2: Then, go to Logsettings And create a new Log Setting-System, add (eventid eq lease-start) in filter, and the syslogprofile you created in step 1.

Step 3:

Create a syslogfilter. Go to User Identification, Usermapping, then Palo Alto Networks User-ID Agent Setup, then Syslogfilter, ADD, name it something like PA-DHCP, use Regex Identifiser,

Event Regex: DHCP\ lease\ started

Username Regex: hostname ([a-zA-Z0-9\_\[\]\-]+)

Address Regex: ip ([A-F0-9a-f:.]+)

 

Step 4:

Under User Identification, and new Server Monitoring (User Identification Monitored Server), Enabled, Type Syslog Sender, and ip of sender (in my case 192.168.18.1, because of service routes), Connection Type: UDP , and the Syslog Filter you created in step 3

Step 5:

Allow the Interface to be used as User ID syslog listener-UDP. Go to Network, then Network Profiles, and Interface Mgmt. Create a interface Management profile, and allow User-ID Syslog Listener-UDP.

Attach this profile to the interface (in my case the Ethernet1/2  192.168.18.1)

And you’re good to go!

 

TIP: Be sure to have the right service routes configured if you’re not using management-interface.
