Firebox Web UI Integration with AuthPoint

The steps to configure AuthPoint and your Firebox are different based on the version of Fireware that you have. Complete the steps in this section to configure AuthPoint MFA for Device Management users that log in to Fireware Web UI on a Fireboxes that run Fireware v12.7.2 or higher.

If you have Fireware v12.7.1 or lower, you must complete the steps in the Configure AuthPoint MFA for Firebox Web UI (Fireware v12.7.1 or Lower) section.

Configure AuthPoint

To configure AuthPoint, you must:

• Add a Firebox resource In AuthPoint, resources are the applications and services that your users connect to. in AuthPoint. After you configure a Firebox resource in AuthPoint, the AuthPoint authentication server on your Firebox is enabled.
• Add a Zero Trust authentication policy Authentication policies specify which resources users can authenticate to and which authentication methods they can use (Push, QR code, and OTP). for the Firebox resource or add the Firebox resource to an existing authentication policy.
• (Optional) Add users and groups.

Configure a Firebox Resource

From the AuthPoint management UI:

1. From the navigation menu, select Resources.
2. From the Choose a Resource Type drop-down list, select Firebox. Click Add Resource.
   
   The Firebox resource page opens.

3. In the Name text box, type a descriptive name for the resource.
4. From the Firebox drop-down list, select the Firebox or FireCluster that you want to connect to AuthPoint. This list only shows locally-managed Fireboxes and FireClusters that you have added to WatchGuard Cloud.
5. Click Save.

After you add the Firebox resource in AuthPoint, the AuthPoint authentication server on your Firebox is enabled.

Add a Group in AuthPoint

You must have at least one user group in AuthPoint to configure MFA. If you already have a group, you do not have to add another group.

To add a WatchGuard Cloud-hosted group to the WatchGuard Cloud Directory:

1. Go to Configure > Directories and Domain Services.
2. Click the WatchGuard Cloud Directory domain name. If you have not yet added the WatchGuard Cloud Directory, click Add Authentication Domain and select the WatchGuard Cloud Directory.
   The New Group page appears.

3. In the Groups tab, click Add Group.
4. In the Group Name text box, type a descriptive name for the group.
5. (Optional) In the Description text box, type a description of the group.

6. Click Save.
   Your group is added to the WatchGuard Cloud Directory and to AuthPoint.

Add a Zero Trust Authentication Policy

Zero Trust policies specify which resources users can authenticate to and which authentication methods they can use (Push, QR code, and OTP).

You must have at least one Zero Trust authentication policy that includes the Firebox resource. If you already have Zero Trust authentication policies, you do not have to create a new authentication policy. You can add this resource to your existing authentication policies.

Users that do not have an authentication policy for a specific resource cannot authenticate to log in to that resource.

To configure a Zero Trust authentication policy:

1. Go to Configure > Zero Trust. If you have a Service Provider account, you must select an account from Account Manager.
2. Click Add Policy.
3. Type a name for this policy.
4. In the Target section, from the Content drop-down list, select which groups this policy applies to. You can make multiple selections to add multiple groups.
5. In the Resources section, select the Firebox resource that you created. If you want this policy to apply to additional resources, select each resource this policy applies to.
6. In the Conditions section, select the conditions that apply to this policy. When you add a condition to an authentication policy, the policy applies only to user authentications that match the policy and the policy conditions. For example, if you add a time schedule to a policy, the policy only applies to user authentications that occur within that time schedule. Users who only have a policy that includes a time schedule do not get access to the resource when they authenticate outside of the allowed times (because they do not have a policy that applies, not because authentication is denied). For more information, go to About Zero Trust Conditions

   Policies that have a Network Location do apply to Firebox resources.

   1. (Optional) To create a new condition, click Add New Condition. After you create a new condition, you must still add the condition to the policy.
   2. From the Type drop-down list, select the type of condition to add to the policy.
   3. From the Name drop-down list, select which condition of the chosen type to add to the policy.
   4. To add more conditions, repeat Step 6.

      If you add conditions to a policy, we recommend that you create a second policy for the same groups and resources without the conditions. Assign a higher priority to the policy with the policy objects. For more information about priority, go to About Zero Trust Policy Precedence.

7. In the Action section, select an option to specify whether to allow or deny authentications for the resources in this policy. In our example, we want to allow authentications.
   • Allow — Allow user groups in this policy access to the resources associated with this policy.
• Deny — Deny authentications when users in the groups associated with this policy try to authenticate to the resources associated with this policy.
8. If you allow access with this policy, select the check box for each authentication option users can select when they authenticate to resources in this policy with MFA.

   With Fireware v12.7.2 and higher, if you enable the Push and OTP authentication methods for a policy, users can choose which authentication to use.

   QR code authentication is not supported for Firebox resources.

9. Click Save.
   
   Your policy is created and added to the end of the policy list.
10. Review the order of your policies and adjust as necessary. For more information about priority, go to About Zero Trust Policy Precedence.

Add Users to AuthPoint

Before you assign users to a group, you must add the users to AuthPoint. There are two ways to add AuthPoint user accounts:

• Sync users from an external user database
• Add WatchGuard Cloud-hosted AuthPoint users

Each user must be a member of a group. You must add at least one group before you can add users to AuthPoint.

Configure the Firebox

On your Firebox, you must add Device Management users with AuthPoint as the authentication server.

1. Log in to Fireware Web UI (https://<your firebox IP address>:8080)
2. Select System > Users and Roles.



3. In the Users and Roles section, click Add.
4. In the User Name text box, type a name.

   This user name must exactly match the name of the AuthPoint user or Active Directory user. This is case–sensitive.

5. In the Shared Secret text box, type the shared secret that you configured in the Configure the Firebox section.
6. Click Save.

Add a Group in AuthPoint

You must have at least one user group in AuthPoint to configure MFA. If you already have a group, you do not have to add another group.

To add a WatchGuard Cloud-hosted group to the WatchGuard Cloud Directory:

1. Go to Configure > Directories and Domain Services.
2. Click the WatchGuard Cloud Directory domain name. If you have not yet added the WatchGuard Cloud Directory, click Add Authentication Domain and select the WatchGuard Cloud Directory.
   The New Group page appears.

5. (Optional) In the Description text box, type a description of the group.

6. Click Save.
   Your group is added to the WatchGuard Cloud Directory and to AuthPoint.

Add a Zero Trust Authentication Policy

Zero Trust policies specify which resources users can authenticate to and which authentication methods they can use.

You must have at least one Zero Trust authentication policy that includes the Firebox RADIUS client resource. If you already have Zero Trust authentication policies, you do not have to create a new authentication policy. You can add this resource to your existing authentication policies.

Users that do not have an authentication policy for a specific resource cannot authenticate to log in to that resource.

To configure a Zero Trust authentication policy:

1. Go to Configure > Zero Trust. If you have a Service Provider account, you must select an account from Account Manager.
2. Click Add Policy.
3. Type a name for this policy.
4. In the Target section, from the Content drop-down list, select which groups this policy applies to. You can make multiple selections to add multiple groups.
5. In the Resources section, select the AuthPoint resources this policy applies to.
6. In the Conditions section, select the conditions that apply to this policy. When you add a condition to an authentication policy, the policy applies only to user authentications that match the policy and the policy conditions. For example, if you add a time schedule to a policy, the policy only applies to user authentications that occur within that time schedule. Users who only have a policy that includes a time schedule do not get access to the resource when they authenticate outside of the allowed times (because they do not have a policy that applies, not because authentication is denied). For more information, go to About Zero Trust Conditions

   For RADIUS authentication, policies that have a Network Location do not apply because AuthPoint does not have the IP address of the user.

   1. (Optional) To create a new condition, click Add New Condition. After you create a new condition, you must still add the condition to the policy.
   2. From the Type drop-down list, select the type of condition to add to the policy.
   3. From the Name drop-down list, select which condition of the chosen type to add to the policy.
   4. To add more conditions, repeat Step 6.

      If you add conditions to a policy, we recommend that you create a second policy for the same groups and resources without the conditions. Assign a higher priority to the policy with the policy objects. For more information about priority, go to About Zero Trust Policy Precedence.

7. In the Action section, select an option to specify whether to allow or deny authentications for the resources in this policy. In our example, we want to allow authentications.
   • Allow — Allow user groups in this policy access to the resources associated with this policy.
• Deny — Deny authentications when users in the groups associated with this policy try to authenticate to the resources associated with this policy.
8. If you allow access with this policy, select the check box for each authentication option users can select when they authenticate to resources in this policy with MFA.

   If you enable the push and OTP authentication methods for a policy, RADIUS client resources associated with that policy use push notifications to authenticate users.

   QR code authentication is not supported for RADIUS client resources.

   For RADIUS authentication, you append your OTP to the end of your password. Do not add a space. For example, password112233.

9. Click Save.
   Your policy is created and added to the end of the policy list.
10. Review the order of your policies and adjust as necessary. For more information about priority, go to About Zero Trust Policy Precedence.

Bind the RADIUS Resource to a Gateway

To use RADIUS authentication with AuthPoint, you must have the AuthPoint Gateway installed on your corporate network and you must assign your RADIUS resources to the Gateway in the AuthPoint management UI. The Gateway functions as a RADIUS server. For more information, see About Gateways.

To bind the RADIUS resource to a Gateway from the AuthPoint management UI:

1. From the navigation menu, select Gateway.
2. Select the Name of the Gateway.

3. From the RADIUS section, in the Port text box, type the port number used to communicate with the Gateway. The default ports are 1812 and 1645.
