Certifcate autoenrollment and auto-renewal

$
0
0

Hi there,

Some time back, we issued client authentication certificates based on a duplicated template that is being used for Cisco AnyConnect VPN client 4.4 and wireless access. The certificate is set to expire beginning mid-June this year (about 2.5 months away) with renewal period set to 6 weeks. I've encountered a couple of situations where having two certificates of the same type in the same client certificate store caused issues, though in both cases it involved all certificates in question being valid (eg. not expired, able to access CRLs, chained properly, and so on). My questions:

1. When these certificates start to auto renew (we have GPO set up for this), do I need to be concerned about the having two valid certificates of the same type present?

2. When the older of the two certificates does expire, could the VPN app or wireless get hung up on the expired certificate and not use the new one?

3. If I do need to be concerned about duplicate valid/invalid certificates, what are my options?

4. The template in question was set to publish to AD but not automatically reenroll if a duplicate cert exists in AD for the original certificate rollout. I've read for the most part that publishing certs to AD is not really recommended. Is it okay to set the renewed certificates not to publish to AD, or are their hazards in doing that due to inconsistency?

Thanks so much and my apologies for such a long post.

Can I issue multiple templates or no template at all from NDES?

$
0
0

I have a Windows Server 2016 running with ADCS and NDES configured. I call the NDES endpoint by creating CSR through a script I have prepared that acts as a SCEP Client. Is there a way for NDES to just sign any CSR (through the CA of course) that comes it's way or will it only issue certs based on the template configured in the registry?

Let's say I want to issue 4 types of certificates and all of them have keyusage as signing and encryption both. Can I somehow have 1 NDES server issue these 4 types of certs (essentially meaning just sign any CSR that comes your way) or will I have to deploy multiple NDES endpoints with each issuing 1 particular type?

What does it mean by “tattooing” the Registry ?

“ Tattooing” the registry means user can modify and view user preference that are not stored in the maintained portions of the Registry.  Even if the group policy is changed or removed, the user preference will still persist in the registry.

Windows Server 2016 Failover Cluster certificate

$
0
0

Hi all,

As you might know, when creating a failover cluster, Windows Server 2016 generates a self-signed certificate and installs it to all nodes. 

Because these certificates expire in one year, we got monitoring alerts. To fix these alerts some certificates were removed from the cluster nodes. Since then, we've been unable to add new cluster nodes to the cluster due to schannel issues. I'm suspecting the removal of the cluster certificates to be the cause. 

Is there any way to renew or replace failover cluster certificates? I cannot find a thing on Google about this, only that Windows Server 2016 uses certificates for failover clustering. 

Auto enrollment for Domain controller certificate with subject alternative name

Hi,

We need an auto enrollment template for domain controller certificates which can have SAN also. By normal method the auto enrollment for domain contoller certificate will contain only the FQDN name of the server. We need to inculde SAN also in the domain controller certificate. Is there any way we could accomplish the same.

Thanks and Regards

Hi,


I am trying to establish connection to server windows machine using RSA key pairs.  I have  generated key pairs and and also copied my public key to users/myuser/.ssh/authorized_keys and also set the permissions by executing below command.

ssh --% user1@domain1@contoso.com powershell -c $ConfirmPreference = 'None'; Repair-AuthorizedKeyPermissionC:\Users\user1\.ssh\authorized_keys

When i am trying to connect to that server using ssh agent or by using putty its asking to type password and it is not doing any key based Authentication. I have tried different approaches but clue less. Can any one help me to tell what i am doing wrong here?

Stop DHCP from giving out IP's to computers that do not have valid domain accounts.

$

At my company we have a DHCP server that happily gives out ip address to everyone.

"Everyone is the problem"

 

Since DHCP as far as I am aware does not have any inbuilt Auth capeabilities does anyone

have a solution where by IP addresses can be dynamically assigned based on valid user

credentials.

 

I know that MS has introduced NAP but I am trying to limit users from just jacking into the network

and getting a free IP address from the win 2008 server.

 

Could it be done with Radius ? instead.

 

Any insight or comments would be very welcome.

 

Thanks Paul.

Hi All,

I am setting up two tier Microsoft CA, root is offline and subca is online.

I added CRL http location in the root CDP and issued certificate to the subca but not added the ldap location in the subca certificate. This is recommended without having ldap location certificate issued to the subca?

need your guidance and input on this.

New Server 2016 CA - Certificate Template Questions

$
0
0

Hi All,

I am in the process of  building 2016 certificate servers to replace existing 2008 servers. There are already a number of certificate templates published in the 2008 server. I want to do a cleanup and keep the bare minimum. These are the currently published templates.


I just want to confirm couple of things.

1. Do I need the Basic EFS template when I have the "encrypting file system" added to the user template?

2. If I publish Kerberos authentication can I get rid of the Domain Controllers and Domain Controller Authentication templates? What would be the security settings on the kerberos template? Would it be permissions just for domain controllers only?

3. I have already setup a kra service account and enabled it for key recovery agent.

    a) Do I need to setup Bitlocker and EFS recovery agents also to decrypt files if a user leaves etc?

    b) Can I just add bitlocker drive encryption, Bitlocker Data Recovery Agent and File recovery application policies to the      kra template and use the same certificated published via group policy to perform these tasks?

Any help is highly appreciated.


Build an Enterprise CA in a domain which has a domain joined Standalone CA

I have a standalone CA in my environment which is domain joined for some reason which I am not aware of nor have any documentation suggesting the reason. This is currently used for multiple Applicaton related (non domain and domain related) certificate signing activities (I am aware of the fact that this is not a recommended procedure). I would like to now build a new Enterprise CA, while using this Standalone CA as well in the environment (will consider moving this to a workgroup). Please suggest how can I achieve this without any conflicts. In all desktops and laptops, I see the certificate for the Standalone CA added in the 'Trusted Root Certification Authorities" [MMC --> Certificates (Local Computer) --> Trusted Root Certification Authorities --> Certificates]. This CA is not part of the "Cert Publishers" group in AD.

Migrate CRL (HTTP) and OCSP to new CA server

Hi There,

We have to migrate certificate authority servers currently running on Windows 2008R2 to new Windows 2016 servers.

We have 1 Offline root ca and 2 Enterprise CA servers. One of the enterprise CA server is also configured to host  CDP (http://crl.contoso.com) and OCSP. 

I wonder IIS configuration related to CDP and OSCP are backedup when backup CA server configuration? Can you please throw some light on how to migrate these services to new server properly and rollback approach?

Thanks in advance!

How to generate internal CA certificate on Windows domain

$

0

Hi all,

I am a cert newbie but have been given the task of providing some internal certificates for some new servers in our Windows domain. The web development team have sent me some .req files. We have two internal CA servers, one for root and one for intermediate but I'm not sure exactly how to forfill the requests. I tried "submit new request" and then pointing to the .req file but I got the error below.

"The request contains no certificate template information 0x80094801 CERTSRV_E_NO_CERT_TYPE

Denied by Policy Module 0x80094801. The request does not contain a certificate template extension or the CertificateTemplate request attribute."

Any advice appreciated - thanks!
