The ip auth-proxy name Command

The ip auth-proxy name Command

The ip auth-proxy name command is used to create a named authentication proxy rule. The command includes several options that increase the administrator’s ability to control access. The rule is applied to an interface on a router using the ip auth-proxy command. To create an authentication proxy rule, use the global configuration mode command ip auth-proxy name.

Use the no form of this command with a rule name to remove the specific authentication proxy rules. If no rule name is specified, the no form of this command removes all the authentication rules on the router and disables the proxy on all interfaces. The syntax is

Rtr1(config)#ip auth-proxy name auth-proxy-name http [list {acl# | acl-name}] [auth-cache-time min]
Rtr1(config)#no ip auth-proxy [name auth-proxy-name]

auth-proxy-name

Associates a name, up to 16 alphanumeric characters long, with an authentication proxy rule.

http

The protocol that triggers the authentication proxy—only HTTP is supported.

list {acl# | acl-name}

(Optional) Uses a standard (1–99), extended (100–199), or named ACL with the authentication proxy rule to control which hosts can use the authentication proxy. Traffic not matching the ACL is blocked. If no list is specified, all HTTP traffic connections arriving at the interface are subject to authentication.

auth-cache-time min

(Optional) Overrides the global default authentication proxy cache timer for the named authentication proxy rule. Values can be 1 to 2,147,483,647. The default value is set by the ip auth-proxy auth-cache-time command.

This command was introduced in IOS 12.0(5)T. Support for named and extended access lists was added with the IOS 12.2 release. Until then, only standard ACLs could be used.

The first example creates the authentication proxy rule net_users. Because no ACL is specified in the command, all connection sessions using HTTP traffic will trigger the authentication window and process.

Rtr1(config)#ip auth-proxy name net_users http

The next example creates the authentication proxy rule sales_users. The auth-cache- time 15 sets the idle timer for this rule only to 15 minutes. The “list 77” reference and related ACL defines the hosts, the 192.168.3.0 network that is allowed to authenticate. All other traffic is blocked.

Rtr1(config)#ip auth-proxy name sales_users http auth-cache-time 15 list 77 Rtr1(config)#access-list 77 permit 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.255

In this last example, the first command disables only the sales_users rule, while the last line disables the authentication proxy on all interfaces and removes any rules from the router configuration, as well as any related ACL entries.

Rtr1(config)#no ip auth-proxy name sales_users
Rtr1(config)#no ip auth-proxy
