Using Active Directory - either Secure or Distribution Groups

Reviewing the security documentation for UCM 10g R3, it appears that we should only map to Active Directory Secure Groups and not Distribution Groups, perhaps even if they are marked "secure"? Does anyone know if this is a technical limitation or a best practice? Our organization has processes in place to prevent ad-hoc updates to Distribution lists and I'd like to map UCM using this group type in AD because SQL statements can keep the membership list current in a Distribution Group.

dll is not a good candidate for the Agent, this has to be an application(exe), and the server onces it identifies the PCs should push this Agent to those PCs and the Application should have the logic to Phone home etc...

Change to active directory based security

Hi,
I have installed and configured Essbase with shared services based security and not in standalone mode.
The client is now wanting to use active directory based security.
I have seen John Goodwin's (I'm not worthy!) excellent blog on active directory with standalone ( More to life than this...: Standalone Essbase using external authentication ), but as stated I am not on standalone.
Can anyone advise me how the config differs from what you need to do in standalone mode and also how to reinvoke the configuration tool post install / configuration?
Many thanks,
Robert.

You can add the external directory in Shared Services at any point.
Just follow the documentation - Oracle Enterprise Performance Management System Security Configuration Guide
Cheers

Connected to Domain but can't log in using Actived Directory Credentials

Hey everyone. I've been working on this issue for two weeks now, and I don't know what else to try. I'm connected to my domain but cannot get my Macbooks to log in using Active Directory credenitals both through our wireless network, and hard wired with an ethernet cable. The weird part about it is that it is not uniform all across our network. This only happens to certain Macbooks and as of right now there doesn't seem to be a pattern. I can say that it has happened to all new Macbook Pros that we have ordered lately though.
We use Jamf to manage our Macs on our network, and ever since upgrading to a new version (9.01 and now 9.1) we have had this issue. However I can't connect after manually adding the domain either, so for now it makes me think it is not a Jamf issue. Has anyone dealt with this issue before, that might know of a fix? Thanks!

Hi Burnettb1,
I have come across a similar issue as yours. I have included the instructions that I use to bind the Mac at my institution. In regards to wifi, I have not tried binding the Mac over wifi. Should you need to log in to a Mac with domain user credentials I would suggest to bind the Mac over ethernet. Once you get to the:
*Click on triangle to the left of Show Advanced Options to expand"
portion of the instructions click on the Mappings tab and select the checkbox for creating a mobile account at login. This will create a domain user profile on the machine that you can log into when not connected to the domain.
Hope this helps.

Hi,
We are also facing the issue stated in the first thread. We followed everything specified in the LDAP PDF under TechNotes and still not able to access the BAM console successfully.
The error we get is pasted at the end of this post. The request doesn't even seem to reach our LDAP server (configured in a remote system).
A couple of clarifications required:
1. Does our windows logon need to be the same as BAM console logon?
2. I do not know the LDAP setting for my actual windows logon. But i have retained my same usrId and have configured a user in LDAP with my own organization and other hierarchies. I have configured this userId with the complete hierarchy in BAM login management and have given admin access also to this user. Is this correct?

ThinkVantage Technology Deployment using Active Directory

I am attempting to automate the deployment of Rescue and Recovery using Active Directory for about 50 laptops. So far, I've read through all of the Lenovo documentation for RnR deployments, none of which is useful. The deployment guide has broken links, the section "Corporate Active Directory Rollout" is incomplete, the command line options aren't clearly written, and the AD instructions end with 'then deply settings using a registry edit'.
My goal is to configure the laptops to automatically backup to a network share once a week, in the background, without any user intervention. So far, almost everything that I've tried in my test environment has led to failure.
First step, install the software. I can't deploy via Group Policy, as the installation doesn't seem to end up working. I did the administrative install to a network location, then published the program via AD. After the reboot, I'll click the RnR shortcut in the start menu, and nothing happens. I've also tried creating a batch file that runs rrcmd.exe to create a backup, but that fails too "Service not found". So I resort to installing manually.
Next, I try to configure the network location via Group Policy and the supplied ADM file. I set the destination path for MND to \\server\%computername%\, but that fails, as MND tries to connect to a share called %computername% instead of what the system variable says. To get around this, I had to create an MND batch file that edits the MND info right before the backup, which doesn't seem to always work.
Now, if mid-backup the user disconnects from the network, there is a series of Delayed Write errors. That's not acceptable.
Also, if I set the backup location to local via GP, then change it to network, the backup command still reads "L", even after a reinstall of the software with the "local" location set to 0 in group policy.
Are there any tips to help ease this deployment?
Thank You

I think I figured it out! You can do exactly what I was doing.
The solution seemed to be I was missing:
orcluserprincipalname=<ADUser>@<domain>
orclsamaccountname=<name>
objectclass=orclADUser
You need at least the first and third one in order for it to work ( adding them is another story - you are on your own for that :-) ).
FYI I found this in the document that I have been using all day (but I didn't pay close enough attention as I missed that part) Doc ID: Note:277382.1
which can be found on metalink.

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.

Using Active-Directory PW at SAP logon procedure

Hello,
I have the requirement no to use single sign on for some systems with sensitive data, but would like to check during sap logon procedure the from our central active directory password.
is there any best practice configuration or SAP / AD Win Addon solution available to connect SAP NW abap 7.40 at Win2012 sever with our active directory. Nearly all win based applications can handle a PW check from application to AD. Is there any SAP or Partner implementation helpful to expand the SAP client internal User-PW check?
Thanks in advanced for alternatives to the standard client SSO or any idea in the direction using active directory password within sap-logon.
Please give me a short feedback if you need more details.
regards,
Bernhard Mair
Goethe-Institut München

The SAP NetWeaver ABAP app server only accepts SAP user id and password or it can use SNC to authenticate the user when SAP GUI is used on workstation. So, if you want the user to be prompted to enter their Active Directory credentials during a logon using SAP GUI, and you don't want SSO, then you need to purchase a third party product.
Please note, that SAP is not JUST a Windows based application, as it can also be installed on Unix and Linux, so SAP have made it work in same way on all platforms without any 'special' windows authentication capabilities.
Thanks

Time Machine Backup using Active Directory account

I have two macbook pros (running 10.6.4) using Active Directory accounts and I am trying to backup them up to an Active Directory integrated XServe (running 10.6.4) with a shared Time Machine backup point. I open Time Machine preferences, select the disk, entering username and password, and it starts trying to make the backup disk available. However, it quits and gives me the following error - the network backup disk could not be accessed because there was a problem with the network username and password. The username and password are correct. I have tried three different accounts and they all produce this error.

This happened to an issue AFP. I had AFP authentication set to use Kerberos. I changed it to use "Any Method" and it is working properly.

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.

Hassan

Best practice for Active Directory User Templates regarding Distribution Lists

Hello All
I am looking to implement Active Directory User templates for each department in the company to make the process of creating user accounts for new employees easier. Currently when a user is created a current user's Active directory account is copied, but
this has led to problems with new employees being added to groups which they should not be a part of.
I have attempted to implement this in the past but ran into an issue regarding Distribution Lists. I would like to set up template users with all group memberships that are needed for the department, including distribution lists. Previously I set this up
but received complaints from users who would send e-mail to distribution lists the template accounts were members of.
When sending an e-mail to the distribution list with a member template user, users received an error because the template account does not have an e-mail address.
What is the best practice regarding template user accounts as it pertains to distribution lists? It seems like I will have to create a mailbox for each template user but I can't help but feel there is a better way to avoid this problem. If a mailbox is created
for each template user, it will prevent the error messages users were receiving, but messages will simply build up in these mailboxes. I could set a rule for each one that deletes messages, but again I feel like there is a better way which I haven't thought
of.
Has anyone come up with a better method of doing this?
Thank you

You can just add arbitrary email (not a mailbox) to all your templates and it should solve the problem with errors when sending emails to distribution lists.
If you want to further simplify your user creation process you can have a look at Adaxes (consider it's a third-party app). If you want to use templates, it gives you a slightly better way to do that (http://www.adaxes.com/tutorials_WebInterfaceCustomization_AllowUsingTemplatesForUserCreation.htm)
and it also can automatically perform tasks such as mailbox creation for newly created users (http://www.adaxes.com/tutorials_AutomatingDailyTasks_AutomateExchangeMailboxesCreationForNewUsers.htm).
Alternatively you can abandon templates at all and use customizable condition-based rules to automatically perform all the needed tasks on user creation such as OU allocation, group membership assignment, mailbox creation, home folder creation, etc. based on
the factors you predefine for them.

}when i try to connect into Active directory the new one, im unable to get authenticate, user not found error is coming! (data 525)
im unable to continue!
i tried changing the DN to : [email protected]
also DN: mydomain\vijayvignesh
then im getting error:
java.lang.Exception: istar login failure : javax.naming.AuthenticationNotSupportedException: [LDAP: error code 8 - 00002028: LdapErr: DSID-0C09018A, comment: The server requires binds to turn on integrity checking if SSL\TLS are not already active on the connection, data 0, vecei almost tried everything!
if any one can find a solution pls do come forward!
remember my code works fine in Mixed mode active directory, when we shift that to native mode, it is not working!

If you would read the Active Directory error message, it actually gives you a hint:
"The server requires binds to turn on integrity checking if SSL\TLS are not already active on the connection"
There was a security feature introduced in Windows Server 2003 that would allow administrators to only allow connections over encrypted sessions (eg. SSL/TLS or Kerberos signing and sealing). This setting is configured somewhere in the Domain Controller's Group Policy, called something like "LDAP Server signing"
One solution is to use SSL/TLS. Refer to my previous post titled "JNDI, Active Directory & Authentication (part 2) (SSL)" at
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=581425&tstart=50

Using Active Directory to control WLS administration console access

Hello,
We have bound our WLS 12c instance to our Active Directory service for authentication, and this appears to be working. Next I would like to create an AD group - let's call it "WebLogic-Admin" - whose members (in AD) will have access to the WLS admin console just as if they were a member of the local Administrators group. When I load my WebLogic-Admin group and click on the Membership tab, I have no option to add it to any Parent Groups.
So how can I use my AD group to delegate administrator privilege?
Thanks,
Bill

Logging into weblogic console using Active directory users?

Hi,
We developed a portal application using BEA 8.1 by getting users from embidded LDAP provided with the weblogic server.Now we need to access the users accounts stored in active directory.we configured new active directory authenticator and able to see the user and group names in the weblogic console. when we try to login to the console using one of the active directory user names, we are unable to login.
I would be thankful if any one can help on this.
Thanks & Regards
Surendranath Reddy

Hi Surendranath,
I am trying to attempt the same task, but have been unsuccessful so far. If you have had any luck with this, please let me know.
I can get MS AD to work just fine in the Security Provider and it works via the developers application, but I cannot login using the Active Directory users from the Admin Console.
Thanks,
Kevin.

Managing Office 365 Components for a large enterprise using Active Directory

Opening Office 365 to a large enterprise (7000 users) implies some controls be placed around who can subscribe to what and which Add-Ons a user might have/need/desire access to.
To place these controls around, for example, licensing Project Online to individual users, we are proposing creation of Active Directory groups for each add-on and use powershell or other method to read the AD FS user groups, then flip the bit on the O365
user profile for that member to allow them to select the Add-On.
At any point in time, our Asset Management team can use the AD group to determine licensing distribution and chargeback to internal cost centers.
Does this seem like a viable approach?
Any other approaches that have worked?

John,
After your users and home profile paths are created in AD - have your tried running the createhomedir command from Terminal? Assuming your AD plugin settings are correct on your server - specifically the 'Use UNC path...' - try running the command (in Terminal) below on your document (home folder) server:
sudo createhomedir -s
This command should query your server's search path (check the path using Directory Utility - located in /SystemLibrary/CoreServices) and find any users (preferably your AD network accounts - that's the -s option) that should have home folders on that server and create them. Note that this command nust be run as root - hence the sudo
To test - try creating a new AD user and point their profile to your Mac sharepoint - then run the command. You could also run the command on your Mac server to create an account for just the new user - just add their name at the end of the command above:
sudo createhomedir -s newusername
Hopefully one of these suggestions will work for you...
Ken
