Configuring Identity Service Templates
Identity service templates contain a set of policy attributes or features that can be applied to one or more subscriber sessions through a control policy, a RADIUS Change of Authorization (CoA) request, or a user profile or service profile. This module provides information about how to configure local service templates for Identity-Based Networking Services.

Finding Feature Information
Your software release may not support all the features documented in this module. For the latest caveats and feature information, see Bug Search Tool and the release notes for your platform and software release. To find information about the features documented in this module, and to see a list of the releases in which each feature is supported, see the feature information table at the end of this module.
Use Cisco Feature Navigator to find information about platform support and Cisco software image support. To access Cisco Feature Navigator, go to www.cisco.com/go/cfn. An account on Cisco.com is not required.
Prerequisites for Identity Service Templates
For downloadable service templates, the switch uses the default password “cisco123” when downloading the service templates from the authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) server, Cisco Secure Access Control Server (ACS), or Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE). The AAA, ACS, and ISE server must include the password “cisco123” in the service template configuration.
Information About Identity Service Templates
Service Templates for Identity-Based Networking Services
A service template contains a set of service-related attributes or features, such as access control lists (ACLs) and VLAN assignments, that can be activated on one or more subscriber sessions in response to session life-cycle events. Templates simplify the provisioning and maintenance of network session policies where policies fall into distinct groups or are role-based.
A service template is applied to sessions through its reference in a control policy, through RADIUS Change of Authorization (CoA) requests, or through a user profile or service profile. User profiles are defined per subscriber; service profiles can apply to multiple subscribers.
Identity-Based Networking Services supports two types of service templates:
Downloadable Service Templates
Identity-Based Networking Services can download a service template defined on an external AAA server. The template defines a collection of AAA attributes. These templates are applied to sessions through the use of vendor-specific attributes (VSAs) included in RADIUS CoA messages received from the external AAA server or ACS. The name of the template is referenced in a user profile or a control policy, which triggers a download of the service template during processing.
The downloadable template is cached on the device and subsequent requests for a download will refer to the available cached template. The template however is cached only for the duration of its active usage. The downloaded template cached on the device is protected and cannot be deleted through the command line interface or through other applications. This ensures that the template is deleted only when there are no active references to it.
Locally Configured Service Templates
Service templates can be configured locally through the CLI. These service templates can be applied to subscriber sessions by a reference in a control policy.
When an active local template is updated, changes to that local template will be reflected across all sessions for which the template is active. If a template is deleted, all content from that template that is applied against sessions is removed.
How to Configure Identity Service Templates
Configuring a Local Service Template
A service template defines the local policies that can be applied to a subscriber session. Activate this service template on sessions on which the local policies must be applied.

DETAILED STEPS
Example: Service Template
service-template SVC_2 description label for SVC_2 access-group ACL_2 redirect url www.cisco.com vlan 215 inactivity-timer 15 absolute-timer 15 tag TAG_2
To activate a service template on a subscriber session, specify the service template in a control policy. See “Configuring a Control Policy.”
Configuration Examples for Identity Service Templates
Example: Activating a Service Template and Replace All
Local Service Template Configuration
The following example shows the configuration of a service template defined locally on the device. This template contains attributes that are applied to sessions that use the control policy named POSTURE_VALIDATION, shown below:
service-template DOT1X access-group SVC1_ACL redirect url www.cisco.com match URL_REDIRECT_ACL inactivity-timer 60 absolute-timer 300 ! ip access-list extended URL_REDIRECT_ACL permit tcp any host 5.5.5.5 eq www
Control Policy Configuration
The following example shows a control policy that activates the service template named DOT1X with replace-all enabled. The successfully activated template will replace the existing authorization data and any service template previously applied to the session.
policy-map type control subscriber POSTURE_VALIDATION event session-started match-all 10 class always do-until-failure 10 authenticate using dot1x priority 10 20 authenticate using webauth priority 20 event authentication-success match-all 10 class DOT1X do-all 10 terminate webauth 20 activate service-template DOT1X replace-all
Example: Activating a Service Template for Fallback Service
Local Service Template Configuration
The following example shows the configuration of a service template defined locally on the device. This template contains attributes that are applied to sessions that use the control policy named POSTURE_VALIDATION, shown below:
service-template FALLBACK description fallback service access-group ACL_2 redirect url www.cisco.com inactivity-timer 15 absolute-timer 15 tag TAG_2
Control Policy Configuration
The following example shows a control policy that runs authentication methods dot1x and MAB. If dot1x authentication fails, MAB authentication is attempted. If MAB fails, the system provides a default authorization profile using the FALLBACK template.
policy-map type control subscriber POSTURE_VALIDATION event session-started match-all 10 class always do-all 10 authenticate using dot1x event authentication-failure match-all 10 class DOT1X do-all 10 authenticate using mab 20 class MAB do-all 10 activate service-template FALLBACK
Example: Deactivating a Service Template
Access Control List Configuration
The following example shows the configuration of an access control list (ACL) that is used by the local service template named LOW_IMPACT_TEMPLATE, shown below.
ip access-list extended LOW_IMPACT_ACL permit udp any any eq bootps permit tcp any any eq www permit tcp any any eq 443 permit ip any 172.30.0.0 0.0.255.255
Local Service Template Configuration
The following example shows the configuration of the local service template that provides limited access to all hosts even when authentication fails.
service-template LOW_IMPACT_TEMPLATE description Service template for Low impact mode access-group LOW_IMPACT_ACL inactivity-timer 60 tag LOW_IMPACT_TEMPLATE
Control Policy Configuration
The following example shows the configuration of a control policy that uses the template named LOW_IMPACT_TEMPLATE to provide limited access to all hosts even when authentication fails. If authentication succeeds, the policy manager removes the service template and provides access based on the policies downloaded by the RADIUS server.
class-map type control subscriber match-all DOT1X_MAB_FAILED no-match result-type method dot1x success no-match result-type method mab success ! policy-map type control subscriber CONCURRENT_DOT1X_MAB_LOW_IMP_MODE event session-started match-all 10 class always do-until-failure 10 authorize 20 activate service-template LOW_IMPACT_TEMPLATE 30 authenticate using mab 40 authenticate using dot1x event authentication-success match-all 10 class always do-until-failure 10 deactivate service-template LOW_IMPACT_TEMPLATE event authentication-failure match-first 10 class DOT1X_MAB_FAILED do-until-failure 10 authorize 20 terminate dot1x 30 terminate mab event agent-found match-all 10 class always do-until-failure 10 authenticate using dot1x event inactivity-timeout match-all 10 class always do-until-failure 10 clear-session
