 - "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.

 - Wireless authentication with AD & Cisco AIR-AP1231G-A-K9 Hi, I've read about using IAS to authenticate wireless users against AD but I can't find any detailed instructions on actually how to set everything up. I read about needing a CA and using certificates however is that really necessary? I was told that there is a way to create user accounts named after the MAC address of the wireless card. Does anyone know how to do this? Do I have to also distribute certificates to laptops? I could really use some help. A big thanks to anyone that can help me with this.

 - Security Event Log Backup via script Hello, I have a problem I am beating my head against. I have a script that will backup the security event log and then clear it. It works perfectly as an administrator but a standard user cannot successfully run it. Script: --------------------------------------------------------------- 'Arguments fileName = WScript.Arguments.Item(0) logType = WScript.Arguments.Item(1) fullPathName = filename & ".evt" 'Display args passed Wscript.echo "Argument 0 - fileName :" & fileName Wscript.echo "Argument 1 - logType :" & logType Wscript.echo "fullPathName :" & fullPathName strComputer = "." Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate,(Backup,security)}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2") Set colLogFiles = objWMIService.ExecQuery ("SELECT * FROM Win32_NTEventLogFile WHERE LogFileName='" & logType & "'") For Each objLogfile in colLogFiles errBackupLog = objLogFile.BackupEventLog(fullPathName) If errBackupLog = 0 Then Wscript.Echo "The Security event log was backed up." objLogFile.ClearEventLog() End If If errBackupLog = 8 Then Wscript.Echo "Privilege missing!" End If If errBackupLog = 21 Then Wscript.Echo "Invalid Parameter in call" End If If errBackupLog = 183 Then Wscript.Echo "The archive file already exists." 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.

 - 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: On security standards about home networks or digital home 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.

 - 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. David suggested to post the question to Microsoft forms, and see if I get any responses. Tag: On security standards about home networks or digital home Tag: 96778

 - Question about pkiview.msc Root Certificate Expiring Greetings all, Have a question about Pkiview.msc - but first the setup details. Win2K3 standard - Stand-Alone root CA (Certificate lifetime 12 years) Win2K3 Enterprise - Enterprise subordinate CA/Issuing CA (Certificate lifetime 6 years) CRL and AIA informatinos are first published to a http site and then ldap for clients. When I run pkiview on the Issuing CA it shows a warning on the root ca. After selecting the root ca in pkiview.msc it says: CA Certificate - status - Expiring AIA location #1 (http) - status - Expiring AIA location #2 (ldap) - status - Expiring If I click on any of the links and open the root ca certificates it says that the validity is 30 years from now. Any who know if this is normal behavour for pkiview.msc and that I can ignore this or if I should trouble shoot on it? And if so, any suggestions of what to look for? On google I havn't found much about it, except a post which said that the status of expiring was ok.

I have created a second policy to allow exec priviledge logins to my Cisco routers. I set the policy to allow anyone who is a member of the Domain Admins group this right. I am a member of this group as well. When the wireless policy is listed first, and I attempt to login to my Cisco router, I get an "IAS_INVALID_AUTH_TYPE" error in my IAS log, but I can connect to my wireless network just fine. If I reverse the order of the policies, I can log in to the Cisco router just fine, but then I get the "IAS_INVALID_AUTH_TYPE" error when I connect to my wireless network. The logs also show that when the login is failing on the first policy, it does not fall through to the second policy. Is there any way around this? I want to stay in both the wireless users and the Domain Admins groups; can I configure IAS to go down my list of policies until I either reach one that accepts my login, or I'm rejected by all policies?

 - share premission errors I cannot run exe files directly from the server. When running them from the share (\\server\share\file.exe), I get a permissions error that reads "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item." It does run however when I execute it from explorer using the drive (D:\folder\file.exe), or using the unc path from another computer. I am logging in as the domain admin. All users have full share permissions. What could be causing this? Thanks for any help, Brian Tag: On security standards about home networks or digital home Tag: 96675

 - Close open Files Hello, I would like to enable a user to close open files (that do not belong to him) through Computer Management on a 2000 or 2003 file server WITHOUT making him a member of the administrators or Server Operators group. Is that possible and what would the minimum rights be that would have to be granted? Thanks for any help! Harry Tag: On security standards about home networks or digital home Tag: 96663

That's a really broad question. Security standards for what? Wireless
networking? Firewalling? Not clicking on email attachments? 802.1x?

Try being more specific about your focus and then plug some searches into
Google something like this:

wireless networking security
wireless networking industry standards
how to secure a home network Windows

Play around with the wording of your searches until you get what you need.
