Erreur OpenConnection : 0x80070005 -> CCertView::OpenConnection: Access denied. 0x80070005 (WIN32: 5)

Hi,

I am trying to make a webservice work on my ADCS. The aim of the script is to automate revocation of a certificate (the CN of the certificate is given in parameter).

I am facing the following error when call my webservice:

Erreur OpenConnection : 0x80070005 -> CCertView::OpenConnection: Access denied. 0x80070005 (WIN32: 5)

My guess is, here is the line that triggers the error:

CertView.OpenConnection( strCAConf )

The script is pubished through an ASP application in IIS. The application runs with a domain account. It is based on the following method:

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa385432%28v=vs.85%29.aspx

Do you know what kind of right and where it needs to be applied in order to make this piece of code work?

Thank you so much.

Regards,

Alexandre



Why do I see this behavior with my cert templates?

$
0
0

Hi,

My Root CA is set to issue Certs with a Validity Period of 1 day.  My Sub Issuing CA is set to issue Certs with a Validity Period of 5 hours.  I have 2 Cert templates which enables client computers to auth to workstations/servers.  Template A has a Validity Period of 5 hours and 1 Hour Renewal whereas Template B has a Validity Period of 2 hours and 0 hours renewal.  My Win 7 can always successfully enroll in Template A, regardless of when I renew my Sub Issuing CA cert, but not with Template B which gives a 'The parameter is incorrect' error.

Why can I only enroll in Template A but not B and what does the 'The parameter is incorrect' error mean?

External Source when using DACL (Dynamic Access Control)

$

I'm investigating the functionality of Dynamic Access Control lists and was wondering if there was a way to query an external source, such as a database as a source for properties, or if the only way is to base the security off properties from the Active Directory only.

I have a database that has a table that associates usernames with customers they manage.  I'd like to use that table to determine if they have access to the customer folder with the same name.

Thanks!

Windows Server 2008 R2, sp1

i'm trying to delegate the process of adding/modifying/deleting AD group membership. i used the delegation wizard.

i created a group named "Group Membership Admins" and assigned the object "Group objects" to it. now in the next part, show permissions, "General" is already ticked. so i selected "Property-specific" or what should i select? i'm not sure what  those permissions imply when it comes to adding/removing users to a group so i'm stuck there.

appreciate any help.

Cant Manage Private Key Permissions

$

0

Hi All,

Yesterday I replaced the expired certificates on our ADFS server. that went through fine but I am unable to set the private key permissions on the sigining cert.

It is in the local computer cert store and is all reporting as an OK cert. However ADFS is not working and I suspect its because I need to set permissions on the private key.

If i go to manage private keys i get access denied and if i try to export I cant export private key.

Please help!

How to install Windows updates for Windows server 2003 SP2 Manualy

$

0

Hi All,

We have 10 machines running Windows server 2003 SP2. These machines are ISA servers kept in DMZ.

So these servers do not have internet access any any means. We are receiving Non compliance for not patching them for specific .NET framework patches. We have installed them but still the Scanning tools says it is not installed. 

We have planned to check it through Windows update but as it is in DMZ there is no Internet connection and we also cannot push through WSUS server as well.

Is there any way we can get the update package in Bulk so we can manually patch them rather than manually downloading them 1 by one and installing them ?

ways an attacker might start malware with a known good service

$
0

How would an attacker be able to get malware started at the same time a legitimate, known good service is started? I am consulting on trying to fix a server that has a service starting and using the tool StealthWatch, we can see that the service is shown as running TCP scans of blocks of network addresses. I have compared the MD5 hash of the service to a known good copy of the same service on another server and they are the same, so I pretty confident that the service itself is not changed. I see no dependencies for the service and other testing I have done is testing using sigcheck.exe to validate that the service is signed and also checked the signature all of the files in the same directory where the service is located.

What techniques have you seen that can be used to run malware along with a legitimate service?

ADCS Question: Remove both servers and edit registry or renew existing certificates?

$
0
0

Consider the following information:

I just set up a new two tier PKI with Server 2012 R2 configured as a standalone offline Root CA.
There is also a Server 2012 subordinate online Enterprise CA.

I configured the Root CA to have a self signed 10 year period certificate.
The Root CA can issue certificates for a maximum of 3 years.
Root CA has issued one certificate to the subordinate CA.

The Enterprise CA (issuing) is configured to issue certificates for a period of 1 year. It has issued no certificates.

I followed these steps as closely as possible, including placing the certificates in Active Directory. 

Here is my problem! We use HP C7000 enclosures and wanted to issue a certificate to each so we didn't get the browser warning. The requests I can generate are very rigid and only allow for a 10 year period. Because I haven't issued any important certificates from my PKI, does it make more sense to burn it all down, use ADSI Edit and take out the relevant entries, and start again, or should I leave it all the way it is and renew the Root CA with new settings, then renew the Enterprise CA's certificate with new settings?

TLDR: I didn't plan well enough for my PKI. It hasn't issued any important certificates. Should I kill it with fire and start over or just renew the certificate chain with new settings?

security event logs

1. Login, Clear Logs and log off events in Windows 2003 when does this happen and what are the IDs for these events ?  what is the system login?
2. In an event when administrator account and password are shared by more than one person, is it is possible to prove who cleared the security logs?
3. If there is no keyboard monitoring is there a way to prove from which PC the delete came from?
4.  Can a schedule a task be run in advance to delete the security logs at a later point of time in Window 2003 using utilities like WMI, powershell etc?
5. In Windows 2003 servers, Microsoft allows 2 remote connections and 1 console session also called session 0. What is session 0 ans when is this launched?
6.  Can security and the system logs on the  server be deleted remotely from any other server in windows 2003 if the account has admin rights? Please comment if firewall setting needs to be enabled in window 2003.

How many certs per machine

$
0
0

Just for clarification, we notice in our CA that in issued certificates there will often be may certs issued for a computer. They are different request numbers and serial numbers so they are individual certs that are being issued. But we see some computers that have up to 100 certificates issued for a computer that are active. The computer certs are being successfully pushed out by GP.

So the question is, is this unusual to have so many certs issued per computer? Shouldn't there be only 1 or a couple?

Thanks

Suspicious Windows Registry Changes

Hello, I am stumbled on the topic of detecting, and identifying suspicious registry changes in Windows operating systems. How do I know when a registry change is a "suspicious" or a "critical" one, how do I know that it was made through a malware or an individual who normally has no access to the system? What is a recommended approach to conducting Windows Registry Analysis and Detection? Any help would be appreciated...

Password Settings Object - Password Reminder function?

We've just implemented PSO's for password management because we're in sort of a service provider situation and didn't want to subject all of our customers to our specific password requirements. I've been asked that AD provide a reminder to our staff when their password expiration date approaches. I know this is possible when using a GPO, but can't find any documentation if we can offer this 'service' when using a PSO. Any tips? Thanks!

Hi,

In a lab we've been renewing our Subordinate Issuing CA cert fine for 3 iterations.  On the 4th renewal attempt, when I try to perform a 'Certutil -InstallCet Cert(4).crt, I receive the message 'The revocation function was unable to check revocation because the revocation server was offline. 0x80092013'.

Why could I perform a renewal operation successfully up to this point but cant now?  What does this message really mean cause no servers are offline?

Configuring UNC Hardened Access through Group Policy - KB3000483 - MS15-011

$

I'm reading through KB3000483 to get a idea of the Group Policy steps needed to fully implement MS15-011. From what I understand, we should configure UNC hardened access through Group Policy by targeting specific servers that have shares we want to protect. Are we talking about all our DCs and their SYSVOL / NETLOGON shares as well as plain old file servers with user home shares, etc?

Unexpected behavior: NTFS OWNER RIGHTS ACE scope after changing owner

$
0
0

Observed on Server 2008 R2

Expected Behavior: Changing the owner of a NTFS directory does not change the application scope (Applies to...) of its ACE's.

Actual Behavior: On any NTFS directory (D) with an ACE [OWNER RIGHTS / Modify / Apply To All child items], change the owner of (D) to any other owner. Observe that the OWNER RIGHTS ACE scope has changed from "All child items" to "Nothing". On child items that inherit this ACE, its scope will also be "Nothing". Also, the owner on child items is not updated to the new owner of (D) - they retain their previous ownership.
