F5 Big IP APM Two Factor Authentication

[Music] hi my name is Diego and I'm from cipher Corps the makers of login TC in this video we will show you how to add logging TC strong authentication to your f5 big-ip APM by deploying a login TC radius connector virtual appliance and modifying your f5 big-ip APM using the web UI interface I recommend to follow along this video with our online documentation please see the video description for a list of relevant links login to the login TC admin panel online to get started with the installation process click domains and then click create for your first domain enter a relevant name and pick an icon for your domain your users will see the name and icon each time the Authenticator click create to complete this step you now have a domain ready to be used for logging TC authentication now install and configure the login TC radius connector appliance in your virtualization infrastructure virtual appliance images are available in OVF / OVA and VHD format for both vmware esxi and hyper-v you should first download the login see radius connector virtual appliance image from the download section of our documentation website see the video description for a list of relevant links login to your vmware esxi console click create / register vm select deploy virtual machine from an OVF or OVA file click Next then click to add the relevant OVF files name for the appliance and click Next select your relevant storage and select your desired provisioning now that you've completed the new VM wizard click finish to view the newly deployed virtual appliance select the new instance and then open up the console the login TC radius connector virtual appliance is now ready for configuration deployed logon TC radius connector virtual appliance hit the Escape key and pick a password for the login TC - user user this password will be used when logging into the virtual appliances web-based interface next setup the network configuration it is important to pick a static IP address so that DHCP does don't affect functionality next configure the DNS you can select an external or internal DNS server finally turn on the web server now that the web server is turned on open up a new tab in your browser and navigate to the URL indicated in the bottom right hand corner enter the same password you configured originally to log in now you're logging see radius connector virtual appliance is ready to be configured to accept authentication requests now you're going to add a new configuration to accept authentication requests click create your first configuration retrieve your application ID and application API key from the login TC administration pan copy the application ID and paste it next get the application API key by clicking click to view copy the API key and paste it click test and next now configure first factor authentication if you use a radius server for first factor authentication you can select radius for this video first factor authentication will be configured using Active Directory instance enter the Active Directory host and port then entered the distinguished name of a read access user of a user that has read access to the directory in the binding field enter the password as well this account will be used by the radius connector to connect the active directory and validate the users password in the query details enter the base DN where all your users reside fill out the user name name and email attributes as well scroll down click text and then next pass-through is an optional feature where you can configure which users must be challenged with second factor you can use a static list of user names or Active Directory group memberships this is useful for testing in a production environment or to control the two-factor authentication roll out to your user base in this video all users will be challenged finally configure the radius client which in this case is your f5 big-ip APM enter the name of the client which will appear in your configuration list enter the IP address of the f5 big IP APM remember to pick the IP address from the network perspective of the deployed login TC radius connector virtual appliance enter a secret that will be shared between your f5 big IP APM and the logging TC radius connector pick iframe as the authentication mode for the most streamlined user experience scroll down click test and save now the configuration is added and ready to be used now create a user and test your configuration go to the administration panel and from the domains tab click your newly created domain scroll down and click create member the user name must match the user name in your Active Directory or Sam account name then enter their full name their email address and click create and how issue a token so that the user can authenticate with log in TC an email with instructions on how to load a token is usually sent to users for this video the token will be issued without an email load the new token on your test of us launch the log in TC app click Add token and enter the activation code you see in the administration panel click Next and click Add now the user has a token for your login TC domain and will be able to authenticate against any service you protect with logging TC click the user to confirm the token is loaded now click test token to open the test token modal click send notification a simulated request will be sent to your device approve the request to confirm authentication is working you can also perform a test from the login TC radius connector virtual appliance this tests verifies that both first and second factor authentication configurations are accurate this is a great way to confirm that the configuration is correct before modifying your radius client click test configuration to open the test configuration motor enter the user name and password and click test configuration approve the request this test confirms that both first and second factor authentication are configured properly now configure your f5 big IP APN using the web UI interface on the log in TC radius connector under the settings tab you can see the configured IP address and the radius authentication and accounting ports now navigate to the f5 web UI interface enter your administrator credentials and log in on the left hand menu click access then open up authentication and click radius click create to add the login TC radius connector as a radius authentication server enter a name for the new radius authentication server make sure the mode is set to authentication and select direct for the server connection this mode can also be set to use pool if you wish to deploy multiple logon TC radius authentication appliances 100 server address enter the IP address of the loggin TC radius connector ensure the authentication service port is set to 1812 and enter the same radius server secret used when creating the configuration on the log in TC radius connector set the timeout to 90 seconds set retries to 1 and click finished now you will update the access policy to begin using this new radius authentication server on the left hand menu open up profiles and click access profiles select your desired access profile open the access policy tab and click Edit access policy for profile there are a variety of ways to implement access policies with x5 big-ip APM for this video we will be assuming that the login TC radius connector virtual appliance will be performing first and second factor authentication see the documentation for examples on how to split up that work between the f5 and the logging TC paradius connector after the ad off successful path click the add item click authentication select radius auth and click add item change the name to login TC radius off make sure the triple-a server is the newly created authentication server pointing to the logging TC radius connector click Save remove the ad auth box since the logging TC radius connector will be performing first factor authentication click X then click delete now close the policy click apply access policy then apply now you will customize the login page of the f5 web portal in order to display the login TC iframe authentication prompt on the left hand menu select profile slash policies customization then advanced switch to advanced customization view expand access profiles your access profile and the access policy expand the login pages and select logon dot a and C on your keyboard type control F then enter /h e ad navigate to the log in TC f5 documentation and copy the JavaScript snippet paste the snippet right above the head tag from the log in TC admin panel navigate to the f5 application page and copy the application ID replace the placeholder application ID with your application ID click Save then click apply access policy click apply to save your changes your f5 big-ip APM is now configured to use plugin TC f-five big-ip APM using the f5 web portal with both first factor authentication against Active Directory and second factor using login TC navigate to the f5 web portal enter the username and password and then click log on now users will be presented with an authentication prompt in order to authenticate with log in TC second factor authentication next to login TC push click send me a request to receive a notification on your device tap approve to complete the authentication request users can now access your f5 big-ip EPM protected web portals securely using login TC multi-factor authentication you
