Azure MFA ADFS Adapter registration service account password

When we register the MFA Adapter using a username/password in the configuration file where is this password stored and is it encrypted at rest?
We have a security requirement that passwords at rest must be encrypted and we must verify this via the vendor's documentation.
Randy

The username and password used to connect to the web service SDK is stored in the ADFS data store and is not encrypted. To meet your requirements, you will need to use client certificates to connect to the web service SDK, or will need to install
the MFA Server on each ADFS server so that the adapter can communicate with the MultiFactorAuth service via RPC instead of using the web service SDK. If using client certificates, IIS on the MFA Server stores the password for the identity associated with
the certificate mapping. It stores it encrypted in a config file. See option 2 under "Install the AD FS Adapter Standalone using the Web Service SDK" section at

  • AADSync and Azure Active Directory Device Registration Service

    Now I try to implement Azure Active Directory Device Registration Service with AADSync.

    Unfortunately, AADsync doestn't have "Enable-MSOnlineObjectManagement", and can't find similar cmdlet.
    I'm looking for cmdlet for device object synchronization.
     Does anyone know alternate cmdlet?

    Hi,
    Thanks for your post.
    You need to use the command import-module DirSync in PowerShell, then running the command "get-command -m Microsoft.Online.Conexistence.PS.config", you will find the cmdlet "Enable-MSOnlineObjectManagement"

  • Changed service account passwords, now can't image

    sccm 2012 sp1 with cu2, on server 2012.  
    everything's been working as expected since pilot began in january.  As part of routine maintenance, we changed the passwords on our sccm service accounts last week (early may). Now we can't image anything, so we had to change the passwords back to
    what they used to be.  
    I can't find any place in sccm other than the domain join step in the task sequence that actually has a password field.  as part of troubleshooting, we changed only one of the service account passwords (left the one in the TS used for domain join as-is)
    but imaging still failed - one of the first steps in the task seq (while in winpe) tries to download a package and fails with a 401 authentication error per the smstslog.  
    thing is, i don't know where in sccm to specify the password used at that point.  because of the way we changed only one account password and then it failed, we know which account it's trying to use, but have no idea where to set that account or its
    password in sccm.  i couldn't find any options in winpe config, and not even under the network access account in the console's admin section.  seems the naa screen only lets you choose WHICH AD account to use, but doesn't let you give it the pw for
    that account.  
    suggestions?

    Hi,
    It sounds like it is the Network access password you need to change, you can change it in the admin console under \Administration \ Site Configuration\ Security\ Accounts there you can set the password by selecting the account and set then set the password.

    @ccmexec
    i haven't tested it yet but that's probably it.  i'd been to that screen but hadn't clicked the SET button, which of course has a password field.  
    one minor correction though - the tree to get to that section is just administration/ security/ accounts.  site configuration is a different node a little higher on the tree.  

  • Service account password change

    Hi.
    we have ADFS 3.0 ( 1 server, not a farm ) with groupmanaged service account. All Works fine. Now - i see on DC,  on one moment that password for this object has been changed.
    Description:
    An attempt was made to reset an
    account's password. Subject: Security ID: NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM Account Name:
    DC1$ Account Domain: DOMAIN Logon ID: 0x3e7 Target Account: Security ID:
    DOMAIN\First_gMSA$ Account Name: First_gMSA$ Account Domain: DOMAIN
    . And about ~40 min later login via ADFS to third party saas stopped to work.
    In security log on ADFS server following events started to show up.
    An account failed to log on.
    Subject:
    Security ID:  DOMAIN\First_gMSA$
    Account Name: First_gMSA$
    Account Domain:  DOMAIN
    Logon ID: 0x872CA
    Logon Type: 3
    Account For Which Logon Failed:
    Security ID: NULL SID
    Account Name:
    Account Domain:
    Failure Information:
    Failure Reason: An Error occured during Logon.
    Status: 0xC000018D
    ADFS service runs under this account and after restarting service all was fine again.
    Error code should be - STATUS_TRUSTED_RELATIONSHIP_FAILURE
    So - the question is - HOW should service proceed password change or should any additional configurations performed ( which are missed by me.

    Try this: "STATUS_TRUSTED_RELATIONSHIP_FAILURE" error when you log on to Office 365 from AD FS proxy in Windows

  • SharePoint Service Accounts - Passwords have expiration date when they are set to never expire

    The managed accounts in my farm all have the Enable automatic password change
    unchecked.  Also these same accounts in AD have the Password never expires
    checked. 
    If I use get-spmanagedaccount to view the accounts, some passwords show as already expired or have a future expiration date.  The automatic change is set to False and nothing is listed under the Change Schedule. 
    The strange thing to me is that the passwords listed as expired are still valid and haven't been changed.  I even ran an iisreset just to check and there were no issues.  When I look in CA the next password change area is blank for all accounts.
    My question is why do the accounts list a password expiration date if it's set to
    not automatically change passwords.  If you do change the password through AD you will see a new expiration date set for 90 days later.  I'm just wondering how much I should worry about the service accounts that are listed
    as having expired passwords even though the passwords aren't expired.  My sites and services are running but I'm just curious if this could potentially cause other errors.
    Thoughts?  Prayers?  Condolences?
    Jennifer Knight (MCITP, MCPD)

    I checked the My farm as well, you are correct. Even you did not select the automatic password change still it showed 90 days as expiry. 
    You don't need to worry about it, it will not hurt, one of the dev farm having account which  expired almost 10 months ago. :)
    you can double check with in central admin and you will see no expiration set over their.

  • Update Farm account password & Service account password

    Hi,
    I am using one account for the farm, which is used as service and managed account and would like to update the password.
    Can anyone of you provide me script or steps to update the password.
    Thanks,
    Nick 

    If you're using as a managed account, yes it will (because it updates the managed account and any services it runs). What it won't update is the Default Content Access account information (your "crawl" account) in Search or the User Profile Synchronization
    connection information. You'll have to update those two manually.

  • Are Group Managed Service Accounts supported by BizTalk?

    Hi all,
    I saw that there is already a discussion about the Managed Service Accounts support in BizTalk (http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/ffcea33b-652b-4866-8bb2-21ffc7d8bffa/are-managed-service-accounts-supported-in-biztalk?forum=biztalkgeneral) with
    a clear response to NO.
    But Windows 2012 R2 introduced the "Group Managed Service Accounts" which seems to be a better way to workaround the MSA limitations.
    Are the gMSA supported in BizTalk?
    Thanks.

    While the documentation mentions that gMSA are managed by the Domain Controller and is introduced in Windows Server 2012. I interpret this to imply that this functionality would be AVAILABLE ONLY if you're running your DOMAIN CONTROLLERS on a Windows Server
    2012 or higher DOMAIN.
    If you just setup BizTalk on a Windows Server 2012 machine but in a domain which is running on Windows Server 2003 or 2008 compatibility mode because of other things such as Exchange, etc. then you WOULD NOT be able to leverage the gMSA functionality.
    If on the other hand, your domain controllers are running Windows Server 2012 and Domain Level is Windows Server 2012 then you should be able to leverage gMSA accounts for BizTalk/SQL/IIS Service accounts.
    Regards.
    NOTE: The effect of a gMSA account on the Enterprise SSO service which has a serious dependency on the service account password and encryption however would still need to be evaluated.

  • Changing Reporting Services Account via SMO

    I am in the process of changing our Service Accounts to use virtual accounts in place of using local accounts.  I am using SMO to change the SQL Server, SQL Server Agent and Analysis Services accounts to the virtual account and works great.  Question
    I have, can the Reporting Services account be changed via SMO without disrupting Reporting Services?  In the past, an DBA change the reporting services account password without going through Reporting Services Configuration manager, and we lost all of
    the data sources for the reports.  I was wondering whether or not using SMO will result in the same thing happening or not.
    Thanks.

    I've not tried this on SSRS but the below link talks about your problem. I would recommend you to have rollback plan in case of any issues. Try this on less critical servers.

  • SQL 2012 service accounts best practice

    I'm installing SQL Server 2012 for ConfigMgr 2012 r2 and I wonder what is the best practice for SQL service accounts.
    During the installation of SQL Server, in the server configuration/Service accounts menu I'm allowed to configure following service accounts: SQL Server Agent, SQL Server Agent Database Engine, SQL Server Reporting Services, SQL Server Browser.
    Do I have to create separate domain user (not admin) accounts for each service and configure service principal name (SPN) for all of them?
    For example: Domain user account named SQLSA for SQL Server Agent, another domain user account
    SQLADBE for SQL Server Agent Database Engine etc.

    During the installation of SQL Server 2012, the user is prompted to provide service account
    credentials. The default service accounts suggested vary depending on whether SQL Server
    2012 is installed on a computer running Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008 or on a computer
    running Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2. On computers running Windows Vista
    or Windows Server 2008 operating systems, the following default service accounts are used:
    - NETWORK SERVICE Database Engine, SQL Server Agent, Analysis Services,
    Integration Services, Reporting Services, SQL Server Distributed Replay Controller,
    SQL Server Distributed Replay Client
    - LOCAL SERVICE SQL Server Browser, FD Launcher (Full-Text Search)
    - LOCAL SYSTEM SQL Server VSS Writer
    On computers running Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2 operating systems, the following
    default accounts are used:
    - Virtual Account or Managed Service Account Database Engine, SQL Server Agent,
    Analysis Services, Integration Services, Replication Services, SQL Server Distributed
    Replay Controller, SQL Server Distributed Replay Client, FD Launcher (Full-Text Search)
    - LOCAL SERVICE SQL Server Browser
    - LOCAL SYSTEM SQL Server VSS Writer
    For Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2, you can use a Managed Service Account
    (MSA) or a Managed Local Account. The differences between these account types are as
    follows:
    - Managed Service Account (MSA) This special kind of domain account managed
    by a domain controller is assigned to a single member computer and used for running
    services. The MSA password is managed by the domain controller. MSAs can register
    a Service Principal Name (SPN) with Active Directory. MSAs use a $ name suffix; for
    example, CONTOSO\SQL-A-MSA$. You must create the MSA prior to running SQL
    Server Setup if you want to use an MSA with SQL Server services.
    - Virtual Accounts or Managed Local Accounts These virtual accounts can access
    the network in a domain environment and are used by default for service accounts
    during SQL Server 2012 setup when run on Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2.
    Such accounts use the NT SERVICE\<SERVICENAME>format. You don’t need to specify
    a password when using virtual accounts with SQL Server 2012 because this is handled
    automatically by the operating system.
    You should run SQL Server services, using the minimum possible user rights, and use an
    MSA or virtual account when possible. If you are manually configuring service accounts, use
    separate accounts for different SQL Server services. If it is necessary to change the properties
    of service accounts used for SQL Server 2012, use SQL Server tools such as SQL Server
    Configuration Manager. This ensures that all necessary dependencies are
    updated, which does not happen if you use only the Services console.
    Although you can configure domain accounts as service accounts, this strategy requires
    more effort because you must ensure that service account passwords are changed regularly.
    You must also manage SPNs, which are required for Kerberos authentication.

  • Service accounts locked out issue.

    Hi,
    While monitoring production servers, I noticed that all the Host Instances were stopped. In the Event log, I could see several Account Locked notifications (Service accounts for Hosts). Below are the relevant error messages that I could see in the event
    log for this exception.
    "The BTSSvc$My_Host service was unable to log on as mydomain\SvcAccount with the currently configured password due to the following error:
    The referenced account is currently locked out and may not be logged on to."
    "Windows saved user mydomain\SvcAccount registry while an application or service was still using the registry during log off. The memory used by the user's registry has not been freed. The registry will be unloaded when it is no longer in use.
    This is often caused by services running as a user account, try configuring the services to run in either the LocalService or NetworkService account."
    I am not able to figure out the root cause and the possible remedy. Please let me know your thoughts about the issue.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Ujjwal

    If this is the first time this has occured then it is possible that someone did change the service account passwords. Can you logon onto the BizTalk Machine using the Account & Password? If someone has changed the passwords you will need to go to each
    machine, services.mmc and manually enter the password for each of the affected services.
    If this is a recurring problem, it may be because of a Downadup.B infection and you'd need to take it up with the AntiVirus control team to help identify/rectify this.

  • Difference Between Service Account and User Account

    What is the Difference Between Service Account and User Account

    Hello Mohit,
    Basically there are two types of approches which you should understand.
    In many environments, administrators prefer to simply create a domain user account and assign appropriate privileges to it. Then this user account is used in order to start a specific service on a computer.
    In that case there is really no difference between a user account and the so called service accounts. Since this service account is simply a domain user, all the task related to managing the domain users apply to it. For example you
    should keep the password up to date manually. Some environment move step forward and assign
    Deny Logon Locally of this type of service account in order to enhance the security.
    The second concept is Managed Service Accounts. There are plenty of differences between a Managed Service Account and a User Account.
    The Display Icon is different from a view perspective.
    The type of object is different. 
    Managed service accounts password management is automatic.
    You can not create Managed Service Accounts using GUI. They are only created using Powershell.
    You can refer to link below for more inormation:

  • Can't create eprint service account, says already exists, won't send password to my email ????

    When I try to create an ePrint service account it tells me there is already an account with my email address. I do have an account on the hp website but it does not accept that password. When I request that is send the password it asks for my email and when I type it in and submit it comes back with the error message to give the email address associated with the account.
    This is crazy and frustrating. If the email address has an account associated with it then why won't it send password info to that email address.
    Any suggestions would be welcome.

    Hi,
    More likely your ePC account was assigned to the SnapFish service during its first registration and therefore the described behavior appears.
    Please try the following steps and check if that may help:
    1. Go to http://www.snapfish.com and click the Log In option at the top.
    2. Click 'Forgot your password?' and follow the directions.
    3. Make sure to log in to Snapfish using the temporary password and complete the proccess to select a new password.
    4. Go to http://www.eprint.com and login using the modified account details
