Authentication against Active Directory Forest

Hello Everyone,
I am new to JNDI programming and would appreciate any help in the following problem.
I am planning to write a program using JNDI APIs to authenticate users against an Active Directory (AD) forest.
Target AD forest contains multiple domains with two-way transitive trust between them. There are several users created in each of these domains.
I would like to know what should be the general approach for authenticating users against such a topology.
I have a working program which uses JNDI APIs to authenticate users against single Domain.
A sample topology would contain domains like these.
- abc.corp.net
- xyy.corp.net
- pqr.xyz.corp.net
- hrdev.xyz.corp.net
- lmn.corp.net
Thanks in advance for any help

Hi,
How does this relate to Sun Directory Server ?

The error message means that Active Directory server Reject the authentication attempt
as for some reasons the user account got locked.I guess, You should ask your AD Team to check in the AD
Event Logs why did the user account got locked.
Under Even Viewers, You can find it out

Cisco ISE Failure: 24408 User authentication against Active Directory failed since user has entered the wrong password

Hi,
Since we implemented Cisco ISE we receive the following failure on several Notebooks:
Authentication failed : 24408 User authentication against Active Directory failed since user has entered the wrong password
This happens 2 or 3 times per Day. So basically the authentications are working. But when the failure appears, the connection is lost for a short time.
The Clients are using PEAP(EAP-MSCHAPv2) for Authentication. We've got a Cisco Wireless Environment (WLC 5508).
Why is this happening?
Thanks,
Marc

The possible causes of this error message are:
1.] If the end user entered an incorrect username.
2.] The shared sceret between WLC and ISE is mismatched. With this we'll see continous failed authentication.
3.] As long as a PSN not receiving a response from the supplicant within this limit during an EAP conversation, it will throw this error code. In majority of cases it says eap session timed out.
In your cases, the 3rd option seems to be the most closest one.

How to set up authentication against Active Directory using custom account

Hi All,
Our development BPC server (version 7.0.112, MSSQL Server 2005) was installed using a local user in domain X. It is a single-server installation (meaning all services were installed on that server). The dev server always has the latest data/users by restoring the production backup on the dev server. For testing purpose, I need to allow a user of domain X to log in and do a testing.
Is there a way to configure the dev server to authenticate against an Active Directory in domain X using a special user in the domain X? If yes, how can I configure the dev server?
Thanks.

The installation user must be a domain user with rights to browse domain X.
Otherwise you are not able to add users fom domain.
In your case installation was done with a local user which means you willnot be able to use domain users.
It can be an workaround if you will change the identity for 2 COM+ components to be a domain user instead to be that local user.
Any way I don't advice you to do this. It will be better to reinstall the dev using a domain user.
The COM+ which has to be changed are:
OsoftAdminServer
OsoftUserManage
Attention domain user used must be added into administartor group of BPC server and also to have sys admin right to SQL Server.
I hope this will help you.

Client Certificate Mapping authentication using Active Directory across trusted forests

Hi,
We currently have a setup where the on-premises environment and the cloud environment are based on two separate forests linked by a 1-way trust, i.e., the exist in the on-premises AD and the 1-way trust allows them to use their
credentials to login to a cloud domain joined server. This works fine with the Windows authentication.
We are now looking at implementing a 2-Factor authentication using Certificate. The PKI infrastructure exists in the On-Premises Forest. The users are able to successfully login to on-premise servers configured with "AD CLient Certificate
Mapping".
However, we are unable to achieve the same functionality on the cloud domain joined servers. I would like to know
1. Is this possible?
2. If yes, what do we need to do to make this work.
Just to clarify, we are able to authenticate using certificates by enabling anonymous authentication. However, we are unable to do the same after turning on "Client Certificate Mapping authentication using Active Directory"

1. Yes!
2. Before answering this I need to know if your are trying to perform a smart card logon on a desktop/console or if you just want to use certificate based authentication in an application like using a web application with client certificate requirements
and mapping?
/Hasain
We will eventually need it for smartcard logon on to desktop/console. However, at present, I am trying to use this for certificate based authentication on a web application.
To simulate the scenario, I setup up two separate forests and established a trust between them.
I then setup a Windows PKI in one of the forests and issued a client certificate to a user.
I then setup a web server in both the forests and configured them for anonymous authentication with Client SSL requirement configured.
I setup a test ASP page to capture the Login Info on both the servers.
With the client and the server in the same forest, I got the following results
Login Info
LOGON_USER: CORP\ASmith
AUTH_USER: CORP\ASmith
AUTH_TYPE: SSL/PCT
With the client in the domain with the PKI and the server in the other Forest, I got the following response
Login Info
LOGON_USER:
AUTH_USER:
AUTH_TYPE:
I tried the configuration with the Anonymous Authentication turned off and the AD CLient Certificate mapping turned on.
With the client and the server in the same forest, I am able to login to the default page. However, with the server in a trusted forest, I get the following error.
401 - Unauthorized: Access is denied due to invalid credentials.
You do not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials that you supplied

Oracle 9i/10G DB authentication using Active Directory (with out OID)

Hello All,
We want to use a Single-Password authentication scheme using the Active
Directory as the primary source for userId/Password.
We don't want to use the Active Directory and OID bridge.
As we have many databases and would like to configure all Databases to use Active
Directory for Authentication. Our goal is to have single id/password across all
the databases and any user should be able to login from any computer using their
windows id/password, note that we don't want to use the OSAuthentication.
We have read the documents provided by oracle for authentication using Active
Directory, we were able to create Oracle Schema in Active Directory and were
also able to register a DB with Active Directory and then created user as global
user in Oracle Database and provided the DN of the user. When we tried
authenticate with all this setup it comes back and says invalid ID/Password !!!
And with 10G database we get the Oracle Error ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel !!
Has any one tried or have information on Integrating Oracle to Auth against Active Directory?
Envoirnment:
Oracle DB Version: 9.2.0 and also tried on 10.0.1 with same results
Operating System: Windows 2000/ Windows 2000 Server
Constraint: We don't want to user OID ( as we don't have license for this
product ! )

I have a thread started similar to your request.
OS Authenication on Windows
Somewhere I read this. It works on Oracle 9i on Linux, but I have not tried it with Oracle 9i on Windows.
SHOW PARAMETER OS_AUTHENT_PREFIX;
SHOW PARAMETER REMOTE_OS_AUTHENT;
CREATE USER OPS$SOMEUSER IDENTIFIED EXTERNALLY;
GRANT CREATE SESSION TO OPS$SOMEUSER;
For the username, I wonder if we are supposed to put the Windows Domain name as part of the username? Such as, for a Windows domain user MyDomain\SomeUser
CREATE USER OPS$MYDOMAIN\SOMEUSER IDENTIFIED EXTERNALLY;
I really wish Oracle or somebody created a guide or book on how to do this.

Portal Authentication using Active Directory

I am trying to set up authentication using Active Directory. Can anyone provide me with instructions on what to do ? I know that I have to go to System Admin - > System Configuration - > UM configuration and change the Data Source. What else do I need to do...How do specify which domain to authenticate against. Do I have to change the XML file. Please help.

It depends on what you wanna do with the AD server. If you want to read/write on the AD then you have to first setup SSL connection between the two boxes.Else if you just want to read from AD server you don't require a SSL connection. Then you have to select the hierarchy type in the System Admin - > System Configuration - > UM configuration. Save.
Next thing you do is to open the config tool and modify your xml file accordingly.
And restsart the server.
Hope this helps.

Use Profile Manager to configure 802.1x authentication to Active Directory

I have an OS X Lion Server running profile manager, and I want to authenticate Macs against Active Directory. My test machine is running Lion as well.
If I configure the profile to for WPA/WPA2 Enterprise security type and PEAP protocol with a generic user name and password with explicit access on the RADIUS server, the machine can get on the 802.1x network
If I configure the profile to "Use as a Login Window configuration", the machine can get on the 802.1x network after entering the user name and password of an authorized RADIUS user.
Here's my problem:
I want to enable authentication for machines that are members of the Active Directory domain, but when I use the "Use Directory Authentication" option to authenticate with the target machine's directory credentials, the machine does not connect to my 802.1x network.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!!!!

I'm trying to do the same thing, but I'm using Mountain Lion Profile Manager. If I can't get this to work I'm going to try SCEP and certificate authentication.

ACS 5.3, EAP-TLS Machine Authentication with Active Directory

I have ACS 5.3. I am testing EAP-TLS Machine Authentication using Active Directory as an external Identity Store. II was testing and everything was going fine until I did some failure testing.
My problem: I deleted my computer account out of Active Directory and tried to authenticate my wireless laptop and it still worked when it should have failed.
Here is some of the output of the ACS log. You can see that the computer could not be found in AD and this was returned to the ACS. However, ACS still went ahead and authenticated the computer successfully.
Evaluating Identity Policy
15006 Matched Default Rule
22037 Authentication Passed
22023 Proceed to attribute retrieval
24433 Looking up machine/host in Active Directory - LAB-PC-PB.VITS.attcst.sbc.com
24437 Machine not found in Active Directory
22016 Identity sequence completed iterating the IDStores
Evaluating Group Mapping Policy
12506 EAP-TLS authentication succeeded
11503 Prepared EAP-Success
Evaluating Exception Authorization Policy

15016 Selected Authorization Profile - Permit Access
22065 Max sessions policy passed
22064 New accounting session created in Session cache
11002 Returned RADIUS Access-Accept
I was assuming that if the computer was not found, the Identity Policy would fail, so I did not configure any authorization policy. Do I need an authorization policy to tell the ACS to fail the authentication if the machine cannot be found in AD? If I need an authorization policy, how do I configure it?
Note: In my Identity Store Sequence, I did enable the option:
For Attribute Retrieval only:
If internal user/host not found or disabled then exit sequence and treat as "User Not Found"
but this only seems to work for internal identity stores (at least based on my testing)
Under my Access Policy Identity tab, I configured the following Advanced features:
Advanced Options
If authentication failed
RejectDropContinue
If user not found
RejectDropContinue
If process failed
RejectDropContinue
And that didn't do anything either.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Can try the following. Define an attribute to be retrieved from Active Directory and that exists for all objects. When defining the attribute it can be given a default value. Assign a default value which is a value that will never be returned for a real machine entry (eg "DEFAULTVALUE") and give it a "Policy Condition Name"
Then can make a rule in the authorization policy such as
If "Policy Condition Name" equals "DEFAULTVALUE" then "DenyAccess"

Active Directory Forests Publishing Status

Hello,
I installed SCCM and my active directory Forest has Publishing Status: Insufficient access rights
Any idea how I can fix this? I searched on the internet and can not find it. Thanks.

You need to give your SCCM server computer account in AD permissions to publish to the SystemsManagement container. That's where it publishes information to the forest.

Active Directory forest which need to be sync with Office 365 E1 plan

Hiya,
you need to use either FIM or AAD. I would recommend the AAD, even though it's in beta, it will properly be a better choice.

Authentication on Active Directory

How can I force a Mac with Tiger OS to "remember" to be able to log in to
an Active Directory domain after it's rebooted? I can set it, and log out
of the administrator account, and then until it reboots I can authenticate
against the AD, but when it reboots I can't do that any longer.
A clunky fix for this that I've found is if I log in as the local apple
administrator account, then log out, the option to log in to the Active
Directory is restored.

A clunky fix for this that I've found is if I log in
as the local apple
administrator account, then log out, the option to

The "option"? What "option"? Run Directory Access, configure AD, bind to the domain, then add the AD as an authentication source. There's no "option" on the login dialog.

Solaris authentication with Active Directory

Our shop is a mixed environment of Unix and Windows users. Many use both environments daily and there has been a desire to have a common authentication scheme. We have been able to successfully configure our RH Linux clients to authenticate against our Windows or NIS environment using pam and krb5, but have not been able to successfully adapt this to our Solaris (9/10) environment. Our Unix/Linux client environment is in a common NIS domain. We want to continue to use NIS for account management and add AD for authentication only i.e. if the username/password authenticates against AD or NIS, then the user login proceeds.
On Solaris I have been able to successfully configure the /etc/krb5/krb5.conf file so that a kinit can be done successfully. klist list out the info and kdestroy removes it. However, figuring out how to properly configure the /etc/pam.conf file to use this login/rlogin/ssh authentication is not making any progress. Various attempts to add the pam_krb5.so.1 plugin in various sections of the file have not worked. Can you advise me on the proper configuration for this to work and or the means to get it working?

Read up on Enterprise User Security (EUS), a feature of Oracle Enterprise Database.
Mark Wilcox also has several posts related to OVD/AD/EUS integration on his blog:

SAP R/3 Authentication with Active Directory on Win2k server.

Hello list ,
We are running SAP R/3 4.7 with WebAS 6.2 on Solaris and a Windows 2000 Active Directory domain. Our users access SAP in 3 ways
1) SAP GUI .
2) SAP BW
3) Travel & Expense - a java application that records users travel details and posts a transaction to SAP using the SAP userid and password.
Wish to implement SSO for all our users.
Some research we have done suggests
1) Using Kerberos for authentication. while it appears that microsoft krb 5 implementation will work only on windows servers, it is not clear how well are other krb implementations supported by SAP. OSS note # 150380 and link http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/44/0ebf6c9b2b0d1ae10000000a114a6b/content.htm
2) OSS note # 352295 suggest there could be some issue using KRB 5 shipped with unixes.
"All of the major Unix vendors seem to be shipping a version of Kerberos 5 these days. These implementations should be wire-interoperable with each other and with Microsoft W2K (not necessarily W2K3!), however they may not be interoperable with SAP's shared library interface to GSS-API v2 mechanisms."
3) There are some commercial solutions like - CyberSafe that provides krb based SSO at a fee. Has anyone tried this software ?
I have created an OSS ticket but we are still in a queue since 5 days already.
Has any one from the list implemented a similar solution ? What are the best practices and way to go for a robust solution.
4) Another option that we have is to start with user synchronization. Where in Users created in Active Directory get synchronized with SAP .
What is mandatory for us is that Users marked disabled in Active Directory should be blocked in SAP by synchronizing user information at regular interval. If anyone has implemented this solution I will appreciate if they give me some pointers.
Thanks in advance.

Tim,
you are perfectly right: that Vintela product is not certified (as SNC solution).
But you are not quite right regarding the separate treatment. The major difference between that product and the SNC certified products (such as CyberSafe, Entrust, ...) is: Vintela uses different SNC libraries on the client side (=> our Windows SSPI wrappers, see <a href="http://service.sap.com/~iron/fm/011000358700000431401997E/352295">SAP note 352295</a>) and the server side (=> their own SNC library, not certified). And that is actually also one reason why that solution cannot be certified ...
Well, those Windows SSPI wrappers provided by SAP (=> gsskrb5.dll, for example) are also not "SNC certified", but SAP provides support (being in contact with Microsoft). Well, as some people might know, there are also some interoperability issues between different Microsoft OS versions ... - resulting in reactive patches of our SSPI wrappers.
I really do <u>not</u> want to promote <u>any</u> product - neither the one of Quest Software Inc., nor the one of <a href="http://www.cybersafe.ltd.uk/">CyberSafe Ltd</a>, nor <a href="http://www.entrust.com">Entrust Inc.</a>, nor <a href="http://www.secude.com/">SECUDE IT Security GmbH</a>, nor ...
I do not even want to disencourage anyone from implementing his own Kerberos-based solution (or any other solution which provides an GSS API), provided that this person is able to help himself. Reason: if products of different vendors are used and interoperability problems occur the usual finger-pointing will start. In the end you'll not get support by anyone ... - as long as you are aware of this (and capable of helping yourself) you can go ahead. Some (known) universities are belonging to that group ... - but it might not be appropriete to the vast majority of customers.
