User Accounts
User accounts are used to access the system. You can configure up to 48 local user accounts. Each user account must have a unique username and password.
Admin Account
The admin account is a default user account and cannot be modified or deleted. This account is the system administrator or superuser account and has full privileges. There is no default password assigned to the admin account; you must choose the password during the initial system setup.
The admin account is always active and does not expire. You cannot configure the admin account as inactive.
Locally Authenticated User Accounts
A locally authenticated user account is authenticated directly through the chassis and can be enabled or disabled by anyone with admin or AAA privileges. Once a local user account is disabled, the user cannot log in.
Cisco FXOS Firepower Chassis Manager Configuration Guide, 2.0(1)

User Management
Guidelines for Usernames
Configuration details for disabled local user accounts are not deleted by the database. If you reenable a disabled local user account, the account becomes active again with the existing configuration, including username and password.
Remotely Authenticated User Accounts
A remotely authenticated user account is any user account that is authenticated through LDAP, RADIUS, or
TACACS+.
If a user maintains a local user account and a remote user account simultaneously, the roles defined in the local user account override those maintained in the remote user account.
See the following topics for more information on guidelines for remote authentication, and how to configure and delete remote authentication providers:
•
Guidelines for Remote Authentication, on page 21
•
Configuring LDAP Providers, on page 101
•
Configuring RADIUS Providers, on page 104
•
Configuring TACACS+ Providers, on page 106
Expiration of User Accounts
You can configure user accounts to expire at a predefined time. When the expiration time is reached, the user account is disabled.
By default, user accounts do not expire.
After you configure a user account with an expiration date, you cannot reconfigure the account to not expire.
You can, however, configure the account with the latest expiration date available.
Guidelines for Usernames
The username is also used as the login ID for Firepower Chassis Manager and the FXOS CLI. When you assign login IDs to user accounts, consider the following guidelines and restrictions:
• The login ID can contain between 1 and 32 characters, including the following:
◦ Any alphabetic character
◦ Any digit
◦ _ (underscore)
◦ - (dash)
◦ . (dot)
• The login ID must be unique.
• The login ID must start with an alphabetic character. It cannot start with a number or a special character, such as an underscore.
• The login ID is case-sensitive.
• You cannot create an all-numeric login ID.
20
Cisco FXOS Firepower Chassis Manager Configuration Guide, 2.0(1)
User Management
Guidelines for Passwords
• After you create a user account, you cannot change the login ID. You must delete the user account and create a new one.
Guidelines for Passwords
A password is required for each locally authenticated user account. A user with admin or AAA privileges can configure the system to perform a password strength check on user passwords. If the password strength check is enabled, each user must have a strong password.
We recommend that each user have a strong password. If you enable the password strength check for locally authenticated users, the Firepower eXtensible Operating System rejects any password that does not meet the following requirements:
• Must contain a minimum of 8 characters and a maximum of 80 characters.
Note
You can optionally configure a minimum password length of 15 characters on the system, to comply with Common Criteria requirements. For more information, see
Minimum Password Length Check, on page 28
.
• Must include at least one uppercase alphabetic character.
• Must include at least one lowercase alphabetic character.
• Must include at least one non-alphanumeric (special) character.
• Must not contain a character that is repeated more than 3 times consecutively, such as aaabbb.
• Must not contain three consecutive numbers or letters in any order, such as passwordABC or password321.
• Must not be identical to the username or the reverse of the username.
• Must pass a password dictionary check. For example, the password must not be based on a standard dictionary word.
• Must not contain the following symbols: $ (dollar sign), ? (question mark), and = (equals sign).
• Must not be blank for local user and admin accounts.
Guidelines for Remote Authentication
If a system is configured for one of the supported remote authentication services, you must create a provider for that service to ensure that the FXOS chassis can communicate with the system. The following guidelines impact user authorization:
User Accounts in Remote Authentication Services
User accounts can exist locally in the FXOS chassis or in the remote authentication server.
You can view the temporary sessions for users who log in through remote authentication services from the FXOS Chassis Manager GUI and from the FXOS CLI.
Cisco FXOS Firepower Chassis Manager Configuration Guide, 2.0(1)
21
User Management
Guidelines for Remote Authentication
User Roles in Remote Authentication Services
If you create user accounts in the remote authentication server, you must ensure that the accounts include the roles those users require for working in the FXOS chassis and that the names of those roles match the names used in FXOS. Based on the role policy, a user might not be allowed to log in, or is granted only read-only privileges.
User Attributes in Remote Authentication Providers
For RADIUS and TACAS+ configurations, you must configure a user attribute for the FXOS chassis in each remote authentication provider through which users log in to Firepower Chassis Manager and the FXOS CLI.
This user attribute holds the roles and locales assigned to each user.
When a user logs in, FXOS does the following:
1
Queries the remote authentication service.
2
Validates the user.
3
If the user is validated, checks the roles and locales assigned to that user.
The following table contains a comparison of the user attribute requirements for the remote authentication providers supported by FXOS:
Authenication Provider
LDAP
Custom Attribute
Optional
Schema Extension Attribute ID Requirements
You can choose to do one of the following:
The Cisco LDAP implementation requires a unicode type attribute.
• Do not extend the
LDAP schema and configure an existing, unused attribute that meets the requirements.
If you choose to create the
CiscoAVPair custom attribute, use the following attribute ID:
1.3.6.1.4.1.9.287247.1
A sample OID is provided in the following section.
• Extend the LDAP schema and create a custom attribute with a unique name, such as
CiscoAVPair.

Schema Extension Attribute ID Requirements
You can choose to do one of the following:
•
• Do not extend the
RADIUS schema and use an existing, unused attribute that meets the requirements.
Extend the
RADIUS schema and create a custom attribute with a unique name, such as cisco-avpair.
The vendor ID for the
Cisco RADIUS implementation is 009 and the vendor ID for the attribute is 001.
The following syntax example shows how to specify multiples user roles and locales if you choose to create the cisco-avpair attribute: shell:roles="admin,aaa" shell:locales="L1,abc"
.
Use a comma "," as the delimiter to separate multiple values.
You must extend the schema and create a custom attribute with the name cisco-av-pair.
The cisco-av-pair name is the string that provides the attribute ID for the
TACACS+ provider.
The following syntax example shows how to specify multiples user roles and locales when you create the cisco-av-pair attribute: cisco-av-pair=shell:roles="admin aaa" shell:locales*"L1 abc"
. Using an asterisk
(*) in the cisco-av-pair attribute syntax flags the locale as optional, preventing authentication failures for other Cisco devices that use the same authorization profile. Use a space as the delimiter to separate multiple values.
Sample OID for LDAP User Attribute
The following is a sample OID for a custom CiscoAVPair attribute:

User Roles
The system contains the following user roles:
Administrator
Complete read-and-write access to the entire system. The default admin account is assigned this role by default and it cannot be changed.
Read-Only
Read-only access to system configuration with no privileges to modify the system state.
Operations
Read-and-write access to NTP configuration, Smart Call Home configuration for Smart Licensing, and system logs, including syslog servers and faults. Read access to the rest of the system.
AAA Administrator
Read-and-write access to users, roles, and AAA configuration. Read access to the rest of the system.
Password Profile for Locally Authenticated Users
The password profile contains the password history and password change interval properties for all locally authenticated users. You cannot specify a different password profile for each locally authenticated user.
Password History Count
The password history count allows you to prevent locally authenticated users from reusing the same password over and over again. When this property is configured, the Firepower chassis stores passwords that were previously used by locally authenticated users up to a maximum of 15 passwords. The passwords are stored in reverse chronological order with the most recent password first to ensure that the only the oldest password can be reused when the history count threshold is reached.
24
Cisco FXOS Firepower Chassis Manager Configuration Guide, 2.0(1)
User Management
Configuring User Settings
A user must create and use the number of passwords configured in the password history count before being able to reuse one. For example, if you set the password history count to 8, a locally authenticated user cannot reuse the first password until after the ninth password has expired.
By default, the password history is set to 0. This value disables the history count and allows users to reuse previously passwords at any time.
If necessary, you can clear the password history count for a locally authenticated user and enable reuse of previous passwords.
Password Change Interval
The password change interval enables you to restrict the number of password changes a locally authenticated user can make within a given number of hours. The following table describes the two configuration options for the password change interval.
Interval Configuration
No password change allowed
Description
This option does not allow passwords for locally authenticated users to be changed within a specified number of hours after a password change.
You can specify a no change interval between 1 and 745 hours. By default, the no change interval is 24 hours.
Example
For example, to prevent passwords from being changed within 48 hours after a locally authenticated user changes his or her password, set the following:
• Change during interval to disable
• No change interval to 48
Password changes allowed within change interval
This option specifies the maximum number of times that passwords for locally authenticated users can be changed within a pre-defined interval.
You can specify a change interval between 1 and 745 hours and a maximum number of password changes between 0 and 10. By default, a locally authenticated user is permitted a maximum of 2 password changes within a 48 hour interval.
For example, to allow a password to be changed a maximum of once within 24 hours after a locally authenticated user changes his or her password, set the following:
•
•
• Change during interval to enable
Change count to 1
Change interval to 24
