Active Directory

The Windows 2000 / Active Directory resource adapter is defined in the com.waveset.adapter.ADSIResourceAdapter class.

Resource Configuration Notes

This section provides instructions for configuring the following Active Directory resources for use with Identity Manager, including the following:

Sun Identity Manager Gateway Location

Sun Identity Manager Gateway Service Account

Out of Office Messages

Requirements for Exchange Server 2007

Sun Identity Manager Gateway Location

Unless the LDAP Hostname resource attribute is set, the Gateway will perform a serverless bind to the directory. In order for the serverless bind to work, the Gateway needs to be installed on a system that is in a domain and that “knows” about the domain/directory to be managed. Generally, if the Gateway is in a domain that is in the same forest as the domain to be managed, or there is a trust relationship between the domains, then the serverless bind will succeed.

The LDAP Hostname resource attribute tells the Gateway to bind to a particular DNS hostname or IP address. This is the opposite of a serverless bind. However, the LDAP Hostname does not necessarily have to specify a specific domain controller. The DNS name of an AD domain can be used. If the Gateway system's DNS server is configured to return multiple IP addresses for that DNS name, then one of them will be used for the directory bind. This avoids having to rely on a single domain controller.

Some operations, including pass-through authentication and before and after actions, require that the Gateway system be a member of a domain.

Sun Identity Manager Gateway Service Account

By default, the Gateway service runs as the local System account. This is configurable through the Services MMC Snap-in.

If the gateway is used by an Active Directory adapter which has Exchange Server 2007 support turned on the account which is used to run the gateway must have special privileges.

The account must be a domain account from the domain which has Exchange Server 2007 installed. The account used must also be a member of the standard Exchange Server 2007 group Exchange Recipient Administrators. The account performs all Exchange Server 2007-specific actions by the gateway. It will not use the administrative account specified in the resource.

This limitation in the allowed gateway account is caused by limitations in the Exchange Server 2007 API.

When this is not configured correctly, a PowerShell error message similar to "PowerShell exception: Access to the address list service on all Exchange 2007 servers has been denied." will be displayed, followed by a stack trace.

If you run the Gateway as an account other than Local System, then Gateway service account requires the “Act As Operating System” and “Bypass Traverse Checking” user rights. It uses these rights for pass-through authentication and for changing and resetting passwords in certain situations.

Most of the management of AD is done using the administrative account specified in the resource. However, some operations are done as the Gateway service account. This means that the Gateway service account must have the appropriate permissions to perform these operations. Currently, these operations are:

Creating home directories

Running actions (including before and after actions)

The Authentication Timeout resource attribute (provided for pass-through authentication only) prevents the adapter from hanging if a problem occurs on the Gateway side.

When performing before and after action scripts, the gateway may need the Replace a process level token right. This right is required if the gateway attempts to run the script subprocess as another user, such as the resource administrative user. In this case, the gateway process needs the right to replace the default token associated with that subprocess.

If this right is missing, the following error may be returned during subprocess creation:

"Error creating process: A required privilege is not held by the client"

The Replace a process level token right is defined in the Default Domain Controller Group Policy object and in the local security policy of workstations and servers. To set this right on a system, open the Local Security Policies application within the Administrative Tools folder, then navigate to Local Policies > User Rights Assignment > Replace a process level token.

Out of Office Messages

The outOfOfficeEnabled and outofOfficeMessage account attributes can be used to enable the out of office autoreply function and set the out-of-office message, respectively. These can be used for Exchange 2000 or 2003 accounts. These attributes are only set on account updates and not account creates.

The adapter requires that the Messaging Application Programming Interface (MAPI) be installed on the gateway machine. There are at least two ways to install the MAPI subsystem. The simplest way is to install the Microsoft Outlook client on the gateway machine. No other configuration is necessary.

Another way is to install the Exchange System Management Tools, which are located on the Exchange Server CD. The management tools are installed as a component of the normal Exchange Server install. However, this installs the MAPI subsystem files, but it does not complete the configuration.

The mapisvc.inf file (typically located in c:\winnt\system32) contains the available MAPI services, and it must be updated to include the Exchange message service entries. The msems.inf file, which is contained in the gateway zip file, contains the entries that need to be merged into the mapisvc.inf file to configure the Exchange message server. The msems.inf file can be merged into the mapisvc.inf file manually using a text file editor such as notepad. Alternatively, a tool named MergeIni.exe is available on the Microsoft Platform SDK and can be found in the Windows Core SDK in the Microsoft SDK\Bin directory.

Use the following command to run MergeIni:

MergeIni msems.inf -m

Out of Office attributes cannot be retrieved when the msExchHideFromAddressLists attribute is enabled. If a user form attempts to display the Out of Office attributes when msExchHideFromAddressLists is true, the values will be undefined. The sample Active Directory user form contains logic that prevents Identity Manager from displaying Out of Office attrbutes when msExchHideFromAddressLists is enabled.

Exchange Server 2007 does not support setting the Out Of Office message for a user. The messages are no longer stored as part of the user entry and form a part of the user's mailbox. Outlook or Outlook Web Access should be used by the end user to manage the Out of Office replies.

Requirements for Exchange Server 2007

Exchange Server 2007 provides a supported provisioning API using the Exchange Management Shell only. The shell provides a command line interface to manage and provision users and servers. It is built on top of Microsoft Windows PowerShell.

The gateway must be run on a Microsoft Windows 32-bit operating system. In addition, the following items must be installed on the gateway machine:

Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 "Management Tools", 32-Bit

Microsoft Windows PowerShell 1.0

Microsoft .NET 2.0

These requirements are discussed in more detail in the following sections.

Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 "Management Tools", 32-Bit

The Exchange management shell is a part of the management tools for Exchange. Microsoft does not support running Exchange Server 2007 on a 32-bit version of Windows in a production environment. An exception is made for the Management Tools, as documented in the "Exchange Server 2007 System Requirements".

Install only the 32-bit version of the Management Tools on the gateway machine. Installing the 32-bit version of the tools on a 64-bit version of the operating system, or installing both versions of the tools can lead to unpredictable behaviour.

The 32-bit version of the management tools can be downloaded from the Microsoft website:

http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=82335

The version of the tools you download and install should correspond to the Exchange Server 2007 version installed in the rest of the Exchange enviroment.

Before starting the installation of the management tools make sure that Microsoft Windows PowerShell 1.0 and Microsoft .NET 2.0 Framework

the two required packages have been installed:

Microsoft Windows PowerShell 1.0

Microsoft .NET 2.0 Framework

Microsoft Windows PowerShell 1.0

The Exchange management tools are implemented as an extension, or snapin, of Microsoft PowerShell. Currently only PowerShell version 1.0 is supported and needs to be installed on the server:

http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=75790&clcid=0x09

Microsoft .NET 2.0

To use PowerShell, you must install the Microsoft .NET 2.0 Framework. This Framework is not installed by default and can be downloaded from the Microsoft Download Center at:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=0856EACB-4362-4B0D-8EDD-A AB15C5E04F5

Identity Manager Installation Notes

No additional installation procedures are required on this resource.

Usage Notes

This section lists dependencies and limitations related to using the Active Directory resource adapter, including:

Checking Password History

Supporting Microsoft Exchange Server 2000 and 2003

Supporting Exchange 2007

Configuring Active Sync

Specifying a Domain for Pass-Through Authentication

Gateway Timeouts

Checking Password History

To check the password history for an Active Directory account when an end-user changes his or her password, the user must provide an AD password. This functionality is enabled on an AD resource by setting the User Provides Password On Change resource attribute to 1 and adding the WS_USER_PASSWORD attribute to the account attributes with type encrypted. WS_USER_PASSWORD must be added as a Identity Manager User Attribute and as a Resource User Attribute.

The sources.ResourceName.hosts property in the waveset.properties file can be used to control which host or hosts in a cluster will be used to execute the synchronization portion of a resource adapter using Active Sync. ResourceName must be replaced with the name of the Resource object.

Supporting Microsoft Exchange Server 2000 and 2003

To support Microsoft Exchange Server 2000 and 2003, the following account attributes must be enabled:

homeMDB

homeMTA

mailNickname

msExchHomeServerName

The following account attributes are displayed in the schema map by default and are also used for managing Exchange accounts:

garbageCollPeriod

mDBOverHardQuotaLimit

mDBOverQuotaLimit

mDBStorageQuota

mDBUseDefaults

If your Active Directory resource is not being used to manage Exchange Server attributes, then you must remove these attributes from the schema map for these adapters to successfully provision Active Directory accounts with Identity Manager.

Managing a mixed Microsoft Exchange environment with Exchange Server 2000/2003 and 2007 installed is possible. If this Active Directory resource is not used to manage a mixed environment and only Exchange Server 2007 is present, then follow the directions above and remove the Exchange attributes from the schema.

The Active Directory adapter can be modified to support printer, computer, or other Active Directory objects. The following example illustrates how to modify the XML code in the appropriate Java class to support printer objects.

In addition, you must create at least one new form to support printer objects.

The Windows Active Directory resource can manage Exchange 2000 contacts by changing the object class to contact and removing the password, accountId, and expirePassword resource attributes.

Supporting Exchange 2007

Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 is only supported on Windows Server 2003 R2 or Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 or newer.

The Active Directory adapter does not manage Exchange 2007 email accounts by default. To enable support for these accounts:

Select the Exchange 2007 Support resource parameter.

Make sure the gateway runs as a user that is a member of the Exchange Recipient Administrators group and is logged into the Windows domain.

Add the following account attributes to the schema map. Do not select the Required check box for these attributes.


Attribute Name	Description
RecipientType (String)	The user type on the resource. It is required during creation of the account on an Exchange 2007-enabled resource. Allowed values are: - User (Active Directory only user) - UserMailbox (Active Directory and Exchange user with local mail storage) - MailUser (Active Directory and Exchange user without local mail storage) This attribute is read-only during later actions, except when changing from an Active Directory-only user (RecipientType equals User) to an Exchange user type (RecipientType UserMailbox or MailUser). You can not change the RecipientType back to User or from MailUser to UserMailbox and vice versa.
Database (String)	The Database to store the users Mailbox. This value must be of the form: Server\StorageGroup\MailboxDatabase. This attribute must have a value when the RecipientType is set to UserMailbox. The attribute is ignored for other values of RecipientType.
ExternalEmailAddress (String)	An e-mail address outside of the Exchange organization. This attribute must be set to a unique value in the Exchange organization for the RecipientType MailUser. The attribute is ignored for other values of RecipientType.

Configuring Active Sync

If the Search Child Domains resource parameter is NOT selected, the LDAP Hostname must be configured to specify the hostname of a specific Domain Controller, because Active Sync must always connect to the same Domain Controller. If the Search Child Domains option is selected, then the Global Catalog Hostname must be set to a specific Global Catalog server.

See Chapter 5, "Active Directory Synchronization Failover" for information about limiting the number of repeated events that occur when you switch to a new domain controller.

Specifying a Domain for Pass-Through Authentication

In a default configuration, pass-through authentication is accomplished by sending the user ID and password only. These two attributes are configured in the AuthnProperties element in the resource object’s XML as w2k_user and w2k_password. Without a domain specification, the gateway searches all known domains and tries to authenticate the user in the domain that contains the user.

In a trusted multi-domain environment, there can be two possible situations:

All domains contain a synchronized user/password combination

The user/password combination is domain dependent.

When the user/password combination is synchronized, configure your Active Directory resources so that they are common resources. See Identity Manager Administration for more information about setting up common resources.

If the user/password combination is domain-dependent, and if users can be expected to know the domain information, you can allow users to enter the domain information on the login screen. This option can be used in combination with common resources.

To allow the user to enter the domain on the login page, add the following property to the <AuthnProperties> element in the resource object's XML:

In an environment with multiple trusted domains and Active Directory forests, the authentication can fail using any of these configurations because the Global Catalog does not contain cross-forest information. If a user supplies a wrong password, it could also lead to account lockout in the user’s domain if the number of domains is greater than the lockout threshold.

User management across forests is only possible when multiple gateways, one for each forest, are deployed. In this case, you can configure the adapters to use a predefined domain for authentication per adapter without requiring the user to specify a domain. To accomplish this, add the following authentication property to the <AuthnProperties> element in the resource object’s XML:

Replace MyDomainName with the domain that will authenticate users.

It is not possible to use multiple data sources for the domain information in one Login Module Group.

Gateway Timeouts

The Active Directory adapter allows you to use the RA_HANGTIMEOUT resource attribute to specify a timeout value, in seconds. This attribute controls how long before a request to the gateway times out and is considered hung.

You must manually add this attribute to the Resource object as follows:

The default value for this attribute is 0, indicating that Identity Manager will not check for a hung connection.

Security Notes

This section provides information about supported connections and privilege requirements.

Supported Connections

The Encryption Type resource parameter allows you to enter the encryption type that the Identity Manager gateway will use to communicate with the Active Directory server. Valid values for this field are None (the default value), Kerberos, and SSL.

To use SSL, a certificate authority must be set up in the domain. In addition, the username used to access Active Directory must be in UPN format (for example, DomainName\UserName).

Required Administrative Privileges

This section describes Active Directory permission and reset password permission requirements.

Active Directory Permissions

The administrative account configured in the Active Directory resource must have the appropriate permissions in Active Directory.


Identity Manager Functionality	Active Directory Permissions
Create Active Directory User accounts	Create User Objects To create the account enabled, you must have the ability to Read/Write the userAccountControl property. To create with the password expired, you must be able to Read/Write the Account Restrictions property set (includes the userAccountControl property).
Delete Active Directory User accounts	Delete User Objects
Update Active Directory User accounts	Read All Properties Write All Properties Note: If only a subset of the properties are to be managed from Identity Manager, then Read/Write access can be given to just those properties.
Change/Reset AD User account passwords Unlock AD User accounts Expire AD User accounts	User Object permissions: List Contents Read All Properties Read Permissions Change Password Reset Password User Property permissions: Read/Write lockoutTime Property Read/Write Account Restrictions Property set Read accountExpires Property To set permissions for the lockoutTime property, you should use the cacls.exe program available in the Windows 2000 Server resource kit.

Reset Password

The permissions to perform Create, Delete, and Update of resource objects are as expected. The account needs the Create and Delete permissions for the corresponding object type and you need appropriate Read/Write permissions on the properties that need to be updated.

Pass-Through Authentication

To support Active Directory (AD) pass-through authentication:

When configuring the Gateway to run as a user, that user account must have the “Act As Operating System” and “Bypass Traverse Checking” user rights. By default, the Gateway runs as the Local System account, which should already have these rights. Also, the “Bypass Traverse Checking” user right is enabled for all users by default.



Note	If you must update user rights, there might be a delay before the updated security policy is propagated. Once the policy has been propagated, you must restart the Gateway.

Accounts being authenticated must have “Access This Computer From The Network” user rights on the Gateway system.

The Gateway uses the LogonUser function with the LOGON32_LOGON_NETWORK
log-on type and the LOGON32_PROVIDER_DEFAULT log-on provider to perform
pass-thru authentication. The LogonUser function is provided with the Microsoft Platform Software Development Kit.

Accessing Deleted Objects

The administrative account must have access to the Deleted Objects container in the active directory. By default, only Administrators and the System account have access to this container. Other users can be granted access to this container. For information on granting access to the Deleted Objects container, see Microsoft Knowledge Base article 892806.

Provisioning Notes

The following table summarizes the provisioning capabilities of this adapter.


Feature	Supported?
Enable/disable account	Yes
Rename account	Yes
Pass-through authentication	Yes The Authentication Timeout resource attribute (provided for pass-through authentication only) prevents the Active Directory adapter from hanging if a problem occurs on the Gateway side.
Before/after actions	Yes. The Active Directory resource supports before and after actions, which use batch scripts to perform activities on the Active Directory gateway system during a user create, update, or delete request.For more information, see Chapter 3, "Adding Actions to Resources."
Data loading methods	Import directly from resource Reconcile with resource Active Sync

Account Attributes

The syntax (or type) of an attribute usually determines whether the attribute is supported. In general, Identity Manager supports Boolean, string, and integer syntaxes. Binary strings and similar syntaxes are not supported.

Managing ACL Lists

The nTSecurityDescriptor and the msExchMailboxSecurityDescriptor attribute values contain ACL lists that you must specify in a special way.

For example, the following shows a user form a company might use to assign a default set of permissions to each user they provision:

<Field name=’attributes[AD].nTSecurityDescriptor’ hidden=’true’>
  <Expansion>
      <list>
        <s>Domain Admins|983551|0|0|NULL|NULL</s>
        <s>NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM|983551|0|0|NULL|NULL</s>
        <s>Account Operators|983551|0|0|NULL|NULL</s>
        <s>NT AUTHORITY\Authenticated Users|131220|0|0|NULL|NULL</s>
        <s>NT AUTHORITY\Authenticated Users|256|5|0|
{AB721A55-1E2F-11D0-9819-00AA0040529B}|NULL</s>
        <s>NT AUTHORITY\SELF|131220|0|0|NULL|NULL</s>
     </list>
  </Expansion>
</Field>

The entries in the nTSecurityDescriptor list are in the following format:

Where:

Trustee is the DOMAIN\Account of the user.

Mask is a flag specifying access permissions (read, write, etc. ).

aceType is a flag indicating the access-control entry (ACE) types.

ADS_ACETYPE_ACCESS_ALLOWED = 0,
ADS_ACETYPE_ACCESS_DENIED = 0x1,
ADS_ACETYPE_SYSTEM_AUDIT = 0x2,
ADS_ACETYPE_ACCESS_ALLOWED_OBJECT = 0x5,
ADS_ACETYPE_ACCESS_DENIED_OBJECT = 0x6,
ADS_ACETYPE_SYSTEM_AUDIT_OBJECT = 0x7,
ADS_ACETYPE_SYSTEM_ALARM_OBJECT = 0x8
ADS_ACETYPE_ACCESS_ALLOWED

Where:

ADS_ACETYPE_ACCESS_ALLOWED: The ACE is of the standard ACCESS ALLOWED type, where the ObjectType and InheritedObjectType fields are NULL.

ADS_ACETYPE_ACCESS_DENIED: The ACE is of the standard system-audit type, where the ObjectType and InheritedObjectType fields are NULL.

ADS_ACETYPE_SYSTEM_AUDIT: The ACE is of the standard system type, where the ObjectType and InheritedObjectType fields are NULL.

ADS_ACETYPE_ACCESS_ALLOWED_OBJECT: On Windows 2000, ACE grants access to an object or a subobject of the object, such as a property set or property.

ObjectType, InheritedObjectType, or both contain a GUID that identifies a property set, property, extended right, or type of child object.

ADS_ACETYPE_ACCESS_DENIED_OBJECT: Windows 2000, ACE denies access to an object or a subobject of the object, such as a property set or property.

ObjectType, InheritedObjectType, or both contain a GUID that identifies a property set, property, extended right, or type of child object.

ADS_ACETYPE_SYSTEM_AUDIT_OBJECT: Windows 2000, ACE audits access to an object or a subobject of the object, such as a property set or property.

ObjectType, InheritedObjectType, or both contain a GUID that identifies a property set, property, extended right, or type of child object.

ADS_ACETYPE_SYSTEM_ALARM_OBJECT: Not used on Windows 2000/XP at this time.

aceFlags is a flag specifying whether other containers or objects can inherit the ACE from the ACL owner.

ADS_ACEFLAG_INHERIT_ACE = 0x2,
ADS_ACEFLAG_NO_PROPAGATE_INHERIT_ACE = 0x4,
ADS_ACEFLAG_INHERIT_ONLY_ACE = 0x8,
ADS_ACEFLAG_INHERITED_ACE = 0x10,
ADS_ACEFLAG_VALID_INHERIT_FLAGS = 0x1f,
ADS_ACEFLAG_SUCCESSFUL_ACCESS = 0x40,

Where:

ADS_ACEFLAG_FAILED_ACCESS = 0x80 ADS_ACEFLAG_INHERIT_ACE: Indicates child objects that will inherit this access-control entry (ACE).

The inherited ACE is inheritable unless you set the ADS_ACEFLAG_NO_PROPAGATE_INHERIT_ACE flag.

ADS_ACEFLAG_NO_PROPAGATE_INHERIT_ACE: Causes the system to clear the ADS_ACEFLAG_INHERIT_ACE flag for the inherited ACEs of child objects, which prevents the ACE from being inherited by subsequent generations of objects.

ADS_ACEFLAG_INHERIT_ONLY_ACE: Indicates an inherit-only ACE that does not exercise access control on the object to which it is attached.

If you do not set this flag, the ACE is an effective ACE that exerts access control on the object to which it is attached.

ADS_ACEFLAG_INHERITED_ACE: Indicates whether the ACE was inherited. The system sets this bit.

ADS_ACEFLAG_VALID_INHERIT_FLAGS: Indicates whether the inherited flags are valid. The system sets this bit.

ADS_ACEFLAG_SUCCESSFUL_ACCESS: Generates audit messages for successful access attempts, used with ACEs that audit the system in a system access-control list (SACL).

ADS_ACEFLAG_FAILED_ACCESS: Generates audit messages for failed access attempts, used with ACEs that audit the system in a SACL.

objectType is a flag indicating the ADSI object type. the objectType value is a GUID to a property or an object in string format.

The GUID refers to a property when you use ADS_RIGHT_DS_READ_PROP and ADS_RIGHT_DS_WRITE_PROP access masks.

The GUID specifies an object when you use ADS_RIGHT_DS_CREATE_CHILD and ADS_RIGHT_DS_DELETE_CHILD access masks.

InheritedObjectType is a flag indicating the child object type of an ADSI object. The InheritedObjectType value is a GUID to an object in string format. When you set such a GUID, the ACE applies only to the object referred to by the GUID.

The objectType and InheritedObjectType flags specify the GUID of other objects in the form:

{BF9679C0-0DE6-11D0-A285-00AA003049E2}

The object/attribute GUID is wrapped in brackets { }. This format is returned during a fetch. Within ADSI there are GUIDs to represent specific attributes to grant access and also a way to describe an inherited relationship.

The best method in which to find the correct string to pass down, is to do the following:

Add the attribute to your schema, and then add the following field to your user form, as follows:

Edit a user’s object in Active Directory and set the corresponding ACL lists for all users to establish a baseline.

Edit the user in Identity Manager on the Edit User form.

You should see a text area with the corresponding values, which have been pulled from the user object in Active Directory.

Using the preceding method will help you determine which values you must add to the form, for the settings you want.

Resource Object Management

Identity Manager supports the following Active Directory objects:


Resource Object	Supported Features	Attributes Managed
Group	Create, update, delete	cn, samAccountName, description, managedby, member, mail, groupType, authOrig, name
DNS Domain	Find	dc
Organizational Unit	Create, delete, find	ou
Container	Create, delete, find	cn, description

The attributes that can be managed on resource objects are also generally dictated by the attribute syntaxes. The attributes for these object types are similar as those for user accounts and are supported accordingly.

Identity Template

Windows Active Directory is a hierarchically based resource. The identity template will provide the default location in the directory tree where the user will be created. The default identity template is

CN=$fullname$,CN=Users,DC=mydomain,DC=com

The default template must be replaced with a valid value.

Sample Forms

This section lists the sample forms provided for the Active Directory resource adapter.

Troubleshooting

Use the Identity Manager debug pages to set trace options on the following class:

com.waveset.adapter.ADSIResourceAdapter

In addition, tracing can be enabled on the Gateway service via the Identity Manager debug pages. (InstallDir/idm/debug/Gateway.jsp). This page allows you to specify the level of trace, location of the trace file, and the maximum size of the trace file. This page also allows you to remotely retrieve the gateway trace file and display the version information for the Gateway.

The Gateway service may also be started from the console with debug tracing via various command line switches. Use -h to review the usage for the Gateway service.

Tracing can also be enabled on the following methods to diagnose connection problems:

com.waveset.adapter.AgentResourceAdapter#sendRequest

com.waveset.adapter.AgentResourceAdapter#getResponse
