Hello

On a Cisco 876 i set up an auth-proxy which works fine for accessing websites.
Is it possible to block mail traffic as well until authorization?

Thanks,

Andre

Yes.

If you refrain from permitting access to mail in your interface ACL, and
only permit it in the auth-proxy ACL (downloaded upon successful
authentication), then access to mail becomes part of the security policy
controlled via auth-proxy.

Quite simple. That helped. Thanks!

Your welcome.

Although you've not indicated a need, I thought I would provide the
following observation that may prove beneficial some day:

When configuring auth-proxy ACLs in Cisco Secure ACS, I found it
necessary to use the keyword "any" as the source in an auth-proxy ACE.
The resulting temporary ACE added to the interface ACL specified the
authenticated IP address as the source.

When I tried configuring the auth-proxy ACE with a specific host address
as the source, the ACE was passed to the AAA Client, but it was not
added to the interface ACL, and therefore policy was not successfully
implemented.
