Creating Cisco pxGrid connectors
Cisco pxGrid for FortiManager centralizes the updates from pxGrid for all FortiGate devices, and leverages the efficient FSSO protocol to apply dynamic policy updates to FortiGate.
You can create multiple Cisco pxGrid connectors per ADOM.
Requirements:
- FortiManager version 6.0 ADOM or later.
- FortiGate is managed by FortiManager.
- The managed FortiGate unit is configured to work with Cisco pxGrid.
- The Cisco ISE server is configured, and the certificate is downloaded.
|
When the pxGrid connector is created, FortiManager will only process events with state " Additionally, a Security Group must be defined. See steps below. Users with null a Security Group are ignored by FortiManager. |
To configure Cisco ISE server:
- Create a Security Group: Go to ISE > Work Centers > TrustSec > Components > Security Groups. Click Add.
- Create a User Identity Group: Go to ISE > Administration > Identity Management > Groups > User Identity Groups. Click Add.
- Create a user and add it to User Identity Group: Go to ISE > Administration > Identity Management > Identities. Click Add.
- Match the Security Group with User Identity Group in the policy: Go to ISE > Work Centers >TrustSec > Components > Policy Sets. Right-click and go to Authorization policy > Basic_Authenticatied _Access and click Edit to match the Security Group with the User Identity Group.
- Generate the pxGrid certificate and download it to the local computer: Go to ISE > Administration > pxGrid Services > Certificate and select Generate pxGrid Certificates.
- See log for current users: Go to ISE > Operations > RADIUS > Live Logs.
- See live sessions of current users: Go to ISE > Operations > RADIUS > Live Sessions.
To configure FortiManager:
- Go to System Settings > Local Certificates > Import. Import the downloaded certificate.
- Go to Fabric View > Fabric > External Connectors, and click Create New. The Create New Fabric Connector wizard is displayed.
- Under Endpoint/Identity, select User pxGrid.
- Configure the following options and click OK to create the User pxGrid connector:
Name
Type a name for the fabric connector object.
Status
Toggle On to enable the fabric connector object. Toggle OFF to disable the fabric connector object.
Server
Type the IP address for Cisco ISE server.
CA Certificate
Select the imported CA Certificate.
Client Certificate
Select the imported Client Certificate.
- Go to Policy & Objects > Object Configuration > Single Sign-On.
- Select the connector and click Import.
The pxGrid connector is imported.
- Click Close to close the import dialog.
- Click User Groups and create a new group. Set the type as FSSO/Cisco TrustSec, and select pxGrid user as a member.
- Create a policy with the ISEgroup user group and install the policy to FortiGate.
- Go to Fabric View > Fabric > External Connectors. Click Monitor to see the users currently logged in.
- Log on to FortiGate to view the ISE user group.
- On the FortiGate command line, use the
diagnose debug authd fssolist to monitor the current user list.
