Overview
Access
Domains
An
access
domain
defines
the
features
and
permissions
accorded
to
an
administrative
user,
enabling
granular
control
over
the
administrative
user’s
ability
to
switch
context
and
access
the
features
on
the
user
interface
of
the
managed
firewalls.
Access
domains
can
also
limit
access
to
a
subset
of
the
device
groups
and/or
templates
created
on
Panorama
and
therefore
restrict
the
user’s
ability
to
configure
and
manage
firewalls.
The
access
domain
is
linked
to
RADIUS
vendor
‐
specific
attributes
(VSAs)
and
is
supported
only
if
a
RADIUS
server
is
used
for
administrator
authentication.
If
RADIUS
is
not
used,
the
access
domain
settings
are
ignored.
For
information
on
defining
an
access
domain,
see
.
Administrative
Authentication
There
are
four
ways
to
authenticate
administrative
users:
Local
administrator
account
with
local
authentication
—Both
the
administrator
account
credentials
and
the
authentication
mechanisms
are
local
to
the
firewall.
To
further
secure
the
local
administrator
account,
create
a
password
profile
that
defines
a
validity
period
for
passwords
and/or
set
firewall
‐
wide
password
complexity
settings.
For
more
information,
see
.
Local
administrator
account
with
certificate
‐
or
key
‐
based
authentication
—With
this
option,
the
administrator
accounts
are
local
to
the
firewall,
but
authentication
is
based
on
SSH
keys
(for
CLI
access)
or
client
certificates/common
access
cards
(for
the
web
interface).
For
details
on
how
to
configure
this
type
of
administrative
access,
see
and
Local
administrator
account
with
external
authentication
—The
administrator
accounts
are
managed
on
the
local
firewall,
but
the
authentication
functions
are
offloaded
to
an
existing
LDAP,
Kerberos,
or
RADIUS
service.
To
configure
this
type
of
account,
you
must
first
create
an
authentication
profile
that
defines
how
to
access
the
external
authentication
service
and
then
create
an
account
for
each
administrator
that
references
the
profile.
For
more
information,
see
.
External
administrator
account
and
authentication
—Account
administration
and
authentication
are
handled
by
an
external
RADIUS
server.
To
use
this
option,
you
must
define
Vendor
Specific
Attributes
(VSAs)
on
your
RADIUS
server
that
map
to
the
admin
role.
