 - How do I know if XP SP2 is installed? I have auto updates enabled, and the list of updates downloaded from MS is long and has a green checkmark next to most (the updates that have a mark showing the download failed are then shown a few days later as having succeeded wiith a green checkmark). XP SP2 has a green checkmark, but the explanations, in their usual circular manner, don't indicate whether the download AND the installation happen automatically, or only the download. How can I tell if SP2 is installed? Thanks. Tag: Microsoft Award Lottery Tag: 96912

 - Unique -- Limiting User to Inside Folder I have a program which links to an enterprise server in real-time. My program uses a DLL provided by the company who owns the server. This DLL is currently registered in C:\Windows. ============================ My security objective is to keep the server operator from accessing my system through their DLL (my machine remote access is disabled) if such code is included within the DLL -- or -- possibly turn on my remote access remotely (which I understand can be done) even though it is disabled. If I move the DLL to a specific directory (folder) along with my program, how do I configure my system so that: 1) I can execute my program as system administrator, and 2) Keep the server provider within the program directory I created without getting into other directories (folders) or drives on my system.

 - banning the entry of IP address searches from within Internet Expl I have a problem in my School where the pupils have discovered a way to bypass my filtering. I can't think of away to stop them from entering IP addresses into Internet Explorer and bypassing the filtering through our external DNS filtering service. Would I use an ISA rule or is there a setting in GPO? Thanks Tag: Microsoft Award Lottery Tag: 96905

 - WLAN Security WPA EAP/TLS. Authentication Failed error I am setting up WLAN to secure our wireless network. I plan to use 802.1x EAP/TLS with certificates for the client machine and user. My issuing certificate server is Windows 2003 Enterprise and I have the certificates set to Autoenroll the machines in the correct AD group. WHen I check the machines, they appear to have the correct certificates installed. The AP is set for 802.1x and is pointed to the radius server. The radius server has the AP as a client. However, when trying to connect to the AP, I get a "Windows was unable to log you into the network" error after the initial connection to the AP. Ipconfig shows an ip address of 0.0.0.0. I need some help troubleshooting this issue. I've included some of the radius server log below but I don't see any obvious problems. Radius Server Log.

 - Code signing a "Flash" .EXE file issue / Code sign any .EXE? Dear Group, Hope you can advice me with this! If this is not the right forum, your advice is also appreciated. ] Background To avoid that our customers are confronted with the 'unknown publisher' warnings (there are other valid reason to code sign...), we are using Code Signing and the related certificate from Verisign. Recently, I noted that one of the signed .exe's did not function as when it was unsigned (I'm able to reproduce). In fact, it was a Macromedia Flash in an .exe file. Unsigned it runs the Flash content perfectly, signed, it does not run any more. Just the Flash Player windows opens, the content does not play. The signature verifies OK. I had a similar experience with some flash content converted to .exe using a tool called FLAjector. After successful signing, executing the .exe triggers an "X Flash player not installed" error. Unsigned the .exe runs OK. ] Question I thought that *any* .exe could be signed, but the above example shows that in this case - though the signature itself appears OK - the resulting signed .exe does not work as before. Any suggestions on how to address this? Is this specific to Flash? Thanks, Wytze Tag: Microsoft Award Lottery Tag: 96884

 - Windows Firewall Dropping Return UDP Packets I have a Windows 2003 Server Domain Controller with Windows Firewall enabled and set up correctly, and the domain controller works fine. But I occasionally see dropped packets for protocols in the pfirewall.log file that are absolutely authorized for travel through the firewall. For example, we have rules that allow any incoming packets on UDP ports 53, 88, and 389, yet I still see entries in Windows firewall such as these: 2008-03-05 18:47:00 DROP UDP 192.168.14.121 192.168.105.13 3825 389 246 - - - - - - - RECEIVE 2008-03-05 18:47:00 DROP UDP 192.168.14.121 192.168.105.13 3825 389 246 - - - - - - - RECEIVE 2008-03-05 18:47:00 DROP UDP 192.168.14.121 192.168.105.13 3825 389 246 - - - - - - - RECEIVE 2008-03-05 18:47:00 DROP UDP 192.168.14.121 192.168.105.13 3825 389 246 - - - - - - - RECEIVE 2008-03-05 18:47:01 DROP UDP 192.168.14.121 192.168.105.13 3826 53 105 - - - - - - - RECEIVE 2008-03-05 18:47:02 DROP UDP 192.168.14.121 192.168.105.13 3830 88 1403 - - - - - - - RECEIVE 192.168.105.13 is the host that is protected by the firewall in this case, and 192.168.14.121 is a member server communicating to the domain controller. I'm well aware of the many special requirements that domain controllers have when used with firewalls. I don't need to read Knowledgebase 555381 for example. My question is under what circumstances does it make sense for the firewall to be blocking the above UDP packets when the firewall rule explicitly allows them as exceptions? Maybe someone who understands details about the Windows Firewall's internals could explain why such packets might be dropped. -- Will Tag: Microsoft Award Lottery Tag: 96878

 - "include in CDP" extention error - Reproducible error: Hi Folks, I have been messing around with the PKIView tool to figure out what makes it tick. I understand that if I make changes to the AIA and CDP extensions in the Cert Auth Properties, that I have to re-issue the CAExch cert because PKIView uses the data in that cert to show status of these locations. However, I have found something else that makes PKIView show errors. And I dont understand it. The error is reproducible. It has to do with the "Include in the CDP extension of issued certificates" check box for http URL entries for the CDP extension area of the Cert Auth Properties. In the help file it states that you "check this box if you want to use a URL as a CRL distribution point". that's confusing. I thought that adding the URLs in the first place showed users where to get CRL and CA cert files. So why the need for this additional checkbox? Anyway, i have 2 entries CDP entries. The registry shows them like this: 7:ldap:///CN=%7%8,CN=%2,CN=CDP,CN=Public Key Services,CN=Services,%6%10 4:http://%1/CertEnroll/%3%8%9.crl Here is the reproducible error. I highlight the HTTP URL and check the box to use the URL as a CRL distribution point, and then refresh PKIView. I get an error: DeltaCRL Location #2 Unable to download. This location is pointing to a file://BIGFIRMCA1.bigfirm.com/certenroll/bigfirm-CA1-CA(6)+.crl If I right click on the error and choose COPY URL, and paste that in a browser, I get a file. If I remove this check box the error goes away. This does not happen if I check of uncheck this box corresponding to the LDAP url. Why on earth is the location pointing to a FILE url anyway? And what is the connection with this setting? The certutil -verify urlfetch command output run on the newest CAExch cert is below too. Many thanks! Kristin PS - I know the verify url.txt file shows a bunch of lines like this: Wrong Issuer "Certificate (2)" Time: 0 I reissued the CA cert a bunch of times at one point to see what happened. I assume this is why i am seeing those lines..... Microsoft Windows [Version 6.0.6001] Copyright (c) 2006 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

End If Next ---------------------------------------------------------------- I have tried assigning the following rights to my test user: Manage Auditing and Security Rights Impersonate a client after authentication backup files and directories From what I could find (which is somewhat sparse) it may have to do with needing to set a CustomSD to the security event log. I have no experience what so ever in regards to working with the windows security subsystems at that level. Nor am I sure you could do that on a stand alone machine that is not under a domain. The user can view the security event log in the event viewer but not save it it returns the error message "A required privilege is not held by the client". Anyone have any ideas?

 - Securing data to a process identity Hello all - I've been looking for a way to do this, and I'm hoping someone either can point me at the obvious API that does this that I somehow missed after searching long and hard, or else can comment on an idea I'll outline below that I think would get me there. First, here's what I'm trying to do: I want something similar to DPAPI, but with process identity granularity. I'm going to have an administrative UI that would take a service ID and password, call LogonUser, and then call my encryption API to encrypt data based on something unique to the security context created by LogonUser. Later, I want a process configured to run as that service ID / password identity - and *only* processes running with that identity - to be able to call a decryption API on that data. (As for why I want this, it's to provide a "vault" to applications in a shared environment, where I don't want to require that applications "trust" each other. Machine-level DPAPI is inadequate for this, since any application can decrypt another app's secrets.) So maybe I've missed an obvious way you do this in Windows, and someone can point me at the right API ... but if not, here's my idea: An obvious secret associated with the process' identity is the password hash, but how to get at it - there's no API that I can find that would let me do that. (Of course there are hacker tools that do this using kernel mode code, but I don't want anything so messy.) Now here's the idea: I do both client and server sides of the NTLM challenge / response using SSPI (I have code that does this already from something else), but I don't really do the server side that would be generating a random challenge. Instead I feed a constant pre-baked challenge packet to the second call to InitializeSecurityContext, so that I get the same challenge response packet every time, but one which still depends uniquely on the caller's security context. That challenge response could then be used in a CryptDeriveKey call to get the actual reversible encryption key. I'd appreciate any comments.

 - February Update problems I installed the Microsoft February updates eg. KB944533/KB943055/KB946026/KB890830) and had problems with lots of blue screens and difficulty connecting to server. I restored to an earlier date and have not re-installed them. If I deleted these ( still in the notification area) and installed the updates from Microsoft site - would the glitches have been sorted out after a few weeks- and therefore patches included to sort out problems? Also, should one block own firewall (Bullguard in this case) when installing updates and then turn on again afterwards?? I run Windows XP Pro Media Centre model with Service Pack2 and use Internet Explorer and Outlook Express. Thanks in anticipation for any answers. -- SilverSurfer Tag: Microsoft Award Lottery Tag: 96840

 - Randomly allocated high tcp ports on both client/server? We unfortunately have a firewall (hardware based not the host based) between this one client (only one, the others are on our LAN) and our domain controller. Outgoing traffic are not blocked on either side. We won't modify the registry to use a static port for RPC for some reason. And we can't use the VPN. So on the hardware firewall that's protecting the domain controller (no host based firewall) side, we're going to allow all traffic from that one client to the domain controller. On the client side (on the hardware firewall, there's no host based firewall on the client) the usual MS ports are open ex) 135, 137 U, 138 U, 139, 445. Do we need to open the dynamic ports on the firewall that's protecting the client side 1024:65535 or just by opening all traffic on the domain controller side as I mentioned above will take care of the traffic?

 - Certificate request file syntex for critical extensions Hi, I have a Standalone Root CA running on Windows 2003 SP2. I want to enable SSL, TLS for RDP connections to domain controllers, for that I am following the KB article :http://support.microsoft.com/?id=895433 I am able to request a "server authentication" certificate using web enrollment, but I wanted to automate this process using certreq.exe and INF file. My version of INF is not working, as I am able to generate the certificate, but it is not showing up as a available certificate for RDP SSL in TS configuration properties. Only difference I saw between certificate obtained from webenrollment & certificate obtained from certreq.exe was keyusage extension being not critical in certreq.exe certificate. So, I am assuming that is the problem. I am not able to set the key usage extension to critical, can anyone help me with conversion of keyusage value to base64 version as required by INF If it helps anyone, the Keyusage requires data in ASN.1 BIT STRING format. http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3280.txt My INF file [Version] Signature= "$Windows NT$" [NewRequest] KeySpec = 1 KeyLength = 2048 Exportable = TRUE MachineKeySet = TRUE SMIME = FALSE PrivateKeyArchive = FALSE UserProtected = FALSE UseExistingKeySet = FALSE ProviderName = "Microsoft RSA SChannel Cryptographic Provider" ProviderType = 12 KeyUsage = 0x30 Subject = "CN=server1.domain.com" [EnhancedKeyUsageExtension] OID = 1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.1 ; for "Server Authentication" [Extensions] 2.5.29.15 = ??????

 - Certificate Authority Configuration I plan to add Windows Mobile 5.0 smart phones running ActiveSync to our network which is running Exchange 2003. I've done this many times on a Small Business Server network where the Certificate Authority is installed during the server installation so there aren't as many questions to be answered. For the first time, I plan to add the Certificate Authority to a Windows 2003 Standard Edition environment. I'm hoping that someone can point me in the right direction. The first question that I have is whether I should be installing an Enterprise CA, or a Stand-Alone CA. As of now, the only certificates we intend to issue are those that are necessary to allow the Windows Mobile 5.0 smartphones to send and recieve mail from the Exchange server using ActiveSync. Also, if there are any particularly good implementation documents that someone could point me to I'd greatly appreciate that as well. Thanks for your help. --David Tag: Microsoft Award Lottery Tag: 96803

 - process username OpenProcess -> OpenProcessToken access denied Hi, I've seen lots of posts about this on line, but it appears that no one ever gets it to work. I'm trying to open a process, other than mine, and get the username the process is running as. I've found .net code which does this via System.Management.ManagementObject, but it's slow, apparently runs via WMI, and I'd just rather do it natively. Taskmanager does it fine. I'm running as local admin and trying to view the owner of a process that was spawned with the runas cmd. Yet I can't. I get access denied no matter what I do. What am I missing? Why does the wmi work? It's got to be just using winapi down below anyway, perhaps it's because of the privileges the wmi service is running as? Here's my code, mostly copied, I believe via a MS page. Can someone tell me what I need to do? I've tried adjusting my token and the other processes. Would it be easier to just ::CreateRemoteThread and do it the hard way? I can't get past the OpenProcessToken when the proc handle is the handle to the remote process. I've tried many combinations of access rights. Here's the current code. void sysLog( LPTSTR lpFrom ) { WCHAR s[512]; DWORD dwErr = ::GetLastError(); ::ZeroMemory( s, 512 ); if( (FormatMessage( FORMAT_MESSAGE_FROM_SYSTEM, NULL, dwErr, 0, s, 512, NULL ) ) == 0 ) { ::std::wcout << lpFrom << L" FormatMessage error ::GetLastError() was " << dwErr << std::endl; } else { ::std::wcout << lpFrom << L" Error: " << dwErr << L" " << s << std::endl; } } BOOL SetPrivilege( HANDLE hToken, // access token handle LPCTSTR lpszPrivilege, // name of privilege to enable/disable BOOL bEnablePrivilege // to enable or disable privilege ) { TOKEN_PRIVILEGES tp; LUID luid; if ( !LookupPrivilegeValue( NULL, // lookup privilege on local system lpszPrivilege, // privilege to lookup &luid ) ) // receives LUID of privilege { printf("LookupPrivilegeValue error: %u\n", GetLastError() ); return FALSE; } tp.PrivilegeCount = 1; tp.Privileges[0].Luid = luid; if (bEnablePrivilege) tp.Privileges[0].Attributes = SE_PRIVILEGE_ENABLED; else tp.Privileges[0].Attributes = 0; // Enable the privilege or disable all privileges. if ( !AdjustTokenPrivileges( hToken, FALSE, &tp, sizeof(TOKEN_PRIVILEGES), (PTOKEN_PRIVILEGES) NULL, (PDWORD) NULL) ) { printf("AdjustTokenPrivileges error: %u\n", GetLastError() ); return FALSE; } if (GetLastError() == ERROR_NOT_ALL_ASSIGNED) { printf("The token does not have the specified privilege. \n"); return FALSE; } return TRUE; } BOOL GetCurrentUserAndDomain( DWORD dwPID, PTSTR szUser, PDWORD pcchUser, PTSTR szDomain, PDWORD pcchDomain) { BOOL fSuccess = FALSE; HANDLE hToken = NULL; PTOKEN_USER ptiUser = NULL; DWORD cbti = 0; SID_NAME_USE snu; HANDLE hProc = NULL; HANDLE hProcSelf = NULL; HANDLE hTokenSelf = NULL; __try { // not needed if dwPID is the id of this process hProcSelf = ::OpenProcess( PROCESS_ALL_ACCESS, FALSE, ::GetCurrentProcessId() ); ::OpenProcessToken( hProcSelf, TOKEN_ADJUST_PRIVILEGES, &hTokenSelf); SetPrivilege( hTokenSelf, SE_DEBUG_NAME, TRUE ); // always fails //SetPrivilege( hTokenSelf, SE_TCB_NAME, TRUE ); //SetPrivilege( hTokenSelf, SE_IMPERSONATE_NAME, TRUE ); hProc = ::OpenProcess( PROCESS_QUERY_INFORMATION, FALSE, dwPID ); if( NULL == hProc ) { sysLog( L"OpenProcess" ); __leave; } // fails here always if( 0 == ::OpenProcessToken( hProc, TOKEN_QUERY, &hToken)) { sysLog( L"OpenProcessToken" ); __leave; } // always fails //SetPrivilege( hToken, SE_DEBUG_NAME, TRUE ); //SetPrivilege( hTokenSelf, SE_TCB_NAME, TRUE ); //SetPrivilege( hToken, SE_IMPERSONATE_NAME, TRUE ); // Obtain the size of the user information in the token. if (GetTokenInformation(hToken, TokenUser, NULL, 0, &cbti)) { sysLog( L"GetTokenInformation" ); // Call should have failed due to zero-length buffer. __leave; } else { // Call should have failed due to zero-length buffer. if (GetLastError() != ERROR_INSUFFICIENT_BUFFER) { sysLog( L"GetTokenInformation" ); __leave; } } // Allocate buffer for user information in the token. ptiUser = (PTOKEN_USER) HeapAlloc(GetProcessHeap(), 0, cbti); if (!ptiUser) { sysLog( L"GetTokenInformation" ); __leave; } // Retrieve the user information from the token. if (!GetTokenInformation(hToken, TokenUser, ptiUser, cbti, &cbti)) { sysLog( L"GetTokenInformation" ); __leave; } // Retrieve user name and domain name based on user's SID. if (!LookupAccountSid( NULL, ptiUser->User.Sid, szUser, pcchUser, szDomain, pcchDomain, &snu)) { sysLog( L"GetTokenInformation" ); __leave; } fSuccess = TRUE; } __finally { if( hTokenSelf ) ::CloseHandle( hTokenSelf ); // Free resources. if( hProcSelf ) ::CloseHandle( hProcSelf ); if (hToken) ::CloseHandle(hToken); if (ptiUser) ::HeapFree(::GetProcessHeap(), 0, ptiUser); if( hProc ) ::CloseHandle( hProc ); } return fSuccess; } // http://win32.mvps.org/ int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[]) { TCHAR szUN[64]; TCHAR szD[64]; DWORD dwUNSize = 64; DWORD dwDSize = 64; DWORD dwPID = 0; BOOL bStatus = FALSE; if( argc == 2 ) { dwPID = (DWORD)_ttoi( argv[1] ); std::wcout << "Looking up user account for pid: " << dwPID << std::endl; bStatus = GetCurrentUserAndDomain( dwPID, szUN, &dwUNSize, szD, &dwDSize ); } else { dwPID = ::GetCurrentProcessId(); std::wcout << "Looking up user account for current process pid: " << dwPID << std::endl; bStatus = GetCurrentUserAndDomain( dwPID, szUN, &dwUNSize, szD, &dwDSize ); } if( bStatus ) std::wcout << L"User: " << szUN << " Domain: " << szD << std::endl; } Tag: Microsoft Award Lottery Tag: 96798

 - PKI- Renewing user certificate Question: I have implemented a PKI infrastruture For Email Encryption and Email Signature. The problem i am running into is when testing the renewal of the user certificate, Using the CERTMGR on the client computer. The client Renew the certificate by right clicking on it and select renew certificate with the same key. Then the CA manager approve/ issue the certificate. The CA manager Export the certifcate and gave it to the intended user to install it. The intended user install the certificate. The newly install certificate does not have a private key attatched to it. This setup seems to fail, specifically for one type of certificate (Exchange User), although it appears to work for other types of certificate ( digital signature, EFS, code signing). The only work around seem to be is to allow autoenrollment on the security template ? is this a requirement for the user renwal to work? specifically (Exchange User template)?? I have tested this in three separate environment . In my lab Environment, Scenario 1 1. Auto Enrollment is not enabled on the security template, for the Email Encryption template. 2. Under Require the following for re-enrollment -The radio button is check for â??Same Criteria as for enrollmentâ?? OR 3. Under Require the following for re-enrollment -The radio button is check for â??Valid existing certificateâ?? 4. When user renew the certificate using the Certmgr, the CA Manager will have to issue the certificate and then export it out. 5. The user imports the certificate on a client machine, and in my test environment and the customer test environment. The new certificate will not have a private Key attached to it. Scenario 2 1. Auto Enrollment is enabled on the Security Template for the email Encryption template 2. On the Issuance Requirement , There is a Check mark for CA certificate manager Approval 3. Under Require the following for re-enrollment -The radio button is check for â??Same Criteria as for enrollmentâ?? 4. Customer renew the certificate with the SAME KEY using the CertMGR.MSC, 5. The CA Manager Issue the certificate and send it to the client to install it. The client installs the certificate, but no private key gets attached to the certificate. Scenario 3 6. Auto Enrollment is enabled on the Security Template for the email Encryption template 7. On the Issuance Requirement , There is a Check mark for CA certificate manager Approval 8. Under Require the following for re-enrollment -The radio button is check for â??Valid existing certificateâ?? 9. Customer renew the certificate with the SAME KEY using the CertMGR.MSC, and the certificate automatically gets installed. This worked in the customer environment. 10. Step #4 , I had two different behavior , The difference in the behavior is that the CA Manager must issue the certificate, and export it to the user for installation, that I did get in my lab environment at one point during th testing. The settings are exactly the same settings that are in step 4 11. There are no documentation anywhere on Microsoft website interim of best practice of renewing the certificate.

 - 802.1x authentication logon has Home drive mapping problem I am using 802.1x authentication. When user tries to logon to domain on their computer using their AD user name and password, user will run logon script to map drives. they can map other drive by script except the "Home Drive" . There is problem when mapping "Home Drive" Sometimes they can't see it on my computer, but sometime they see it but "Access Denied" when double click. I am using Windows Server 2000 IAS, and Zyxel GS2024 as switch. Tag: Microsoft Award Lottery Tag: 96757

 - Can't get mail encryption to work Hi, I have an enterprise CA and am trying to test mail encryption between two users. UserA can send encrypted mail to himself as well as UserB with no issue. UserB can send encrypted mail to himself with no issue. However, when UserB sends encrypted mail to UserA I get the "The undelying security system can not find the ID" error. I've looked in AD and both users have the seemingly correct certificate listed in the 'Published Certificates' tab. What am I missing with regard to why UserB wouldn't be able to send to UserA? Thanks, Dan Tag: Microsoft Award Lottery Tag: 96751
