Cisco ASA Series CLI Configuration Guide
Chapter 1 Configuring Connection Profiles, Group Policies, and Users
Configuring User Attributes
hostname(config-webvpn)# exit
hostname(config)# username testuser nopassword
hostname(config)# username testuser attributes
hostname(config-username-webvpn)# webvpn
hostname(config-username-webvpn)# customization value 123
hostname(config-username-webvpn)#
Specifying a “Deny” Message
You can specify the message delivered to a remote user who logs into clientless SSL VPN session
successfully, but has no VPN privileges by entering the deny-message command in username webvpn
configuration mode:
hostname(config-username-webvpn)# deny-message value "message"
hostname(config-username-webvpn)# no deny-message value "message"
hostname(config-username-webvpn)# deny-message none
The no deny-message value command removes the message string, so that the remote user does not
receive a message.
The no deny-message none command removes the attribute from the connection profile policy
configuration. The policy inherits the attribute value.
The message can be up to 491 alphanumeric characters long, including special characters, spaces, and
punctuation, but not counting the enclosing quotation marks. The text appears on the remote user’s
browser upon login. When typing the string in the deny-message value command, continue typing even
if the command wraps.
The default deny message is: “Login was successful, but because certain criteria have not been met or
due to some specific group policy, you do not have permission to use any of the VPN features. Contact
your IT administrator for more information.”
The first command in the following example enters username mode and configures the attributes for the
user named anyuser. The subsequent commands enter username webvpn configuration mode and modify
the deny message associated with that user.
hostname(config)# username anyuser attributes
hostname(config-username)# webvpn
hostname(config-username-webvpn)# deny-message value "Your login credentials are OK.
However, you have not been granted rights to use the VPN features. Contact your
administrator for more information."
hostname(config-username-webvpn)
Specifying the Access List for Clientless SSL VPN Sessions
To specify the name of the access list to use for clientless SSL VPN sessions for this user, enter the filter
command in username webvpn configuration mode. To remove the access list, including a null value
created by issuing the filter none command, enter the no form of this command. The no option allows
inheritance of a value from the group policy. To prevent inheriting filter values, enter the filter value
none command.
Clientless SSL VPN access lists do not apply until you enter the filter command to specify them.
You configure ACLs to permit or deny various types of traffic for this user. You then enter the filter
command to apply those ACLs for clientless SSL VPN traffic.
hostname(config-username-webvpn)# filter {value ACLname | none}
hostname(config-username-webvpn)# no filter
hostname(config-username-webvpn)#
