You can significantly improve the security of a directory server by configuring the server to reject Simple Authentication and Security Layer (SASL) LDAP binds that do not request signing (integrity verification), or to reject LDAP simple binds that are performed on a clear text (non-SSL/TLS-encrypted) connection. SASL binds may include protocols such as Negotiate, Kerberos, NTLM, and Digest.
Unsigned network traffic is susceptible to replay attacks. In such attacks, an intruder intercepts the authentication attempt and the issuance of a ticket. The intruder can reuse the ticket to impersonate the legitimate user. Additionally, unsigned network traffic is susceptible to man-in-the-middle (MIM) attacks in which an intruder captures packets between the client and the server, changes the packets, and then forwards them to the server. If this occurs on an LDAP server, an attacker can cause a server to make decisions that are based on forged requests from the LDAP client.
After you make this configuration change, clients that rely on unsigned SASL (Negotiate, Kerberos, NTLM, or Digest) LDAP binds or on LDAP simple binds over a non-SSL/TLS connection stop working. To help identify these clients, the directory server of Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) or Lightweight Directory Server (LDS) logs a summary Event ID 2887 one time every 24 hours to indicate how many such binds occurred. We recommend that you configure these clients not to use such binds. After no such events are observed for an extended period, we recommend that you configure the server to reject such binds.
If you must have more information to identify such clients, you can configure the directory server to provide more detailed logs. This additional logging will log an Event ID 2889 when a client tries to make an unsigned LDAP bind. The log entry displays the IP address of the client and the identity that the client tried to use to authenticate. You can enable this additional logging by setting the 16 LDAP Interface Events diagnostic setting to 2 (Basic). For more information about how to change the diagnostic settings, see How to configure Active Directory and LDS diagnostic event logging.
If the directory server is configured to reject unsigned SASL LDAP binds or LDAP simple binds over a non-SSL/TLS connection, the directory server logs a summary Event ID 2888 one time every 24 hours when such bind attempts occur.
When data gets out of sync between replication partners, updates can block on objects that are missing from one of the servers. A common error that can occur is an error 32 while replicating an LDAP modify operation.
Here's the procedure for syncing data between two servers running 6.0 or later.
This example procedure uses the following two servers:
server1: the primary server with an authoritative copy of the data
server2: secondary server being setup as a replica or secondary peer
and both are running the same OS and in this example, both ldap instances are named 'ldapdb2'. This also assumes both servers have the same copy of the schema files.
For the sake of the simplicity of these instructions, this assumes all commands are being run as 'root' or 'Administrator'. Note that some commands provide a Webadmin method and a command line method. Choose one or the other.
1) Stop server2:
ibmslapd -I ldapdb2 -k
Please consider, that ANY database that is configured with the directory server instance will be removed by this command. So if you have configured also a ChangeLog DB with this instance, then this will be removed as well at this step.
So if you need the current contents of ChangeLog please make a backup before executing the idsucfgdb command.
Otherwise the current ChangeLog data are lost.
8) Crypto sync the servers if they aren't already:
***This step can be skipped if the instances are already crypto-sync'd.***
If the instances aren't crypto-sync'd yet, copy the ibmslapddir.ksf file from the instance location's etc directory from server1 to the same location on server2. The default instance location is usually the instance owner's home directory; eg: /home/ldapdb2/idsslapd-ldapdb2/etc.
Here's an example of an scp command using ldapdb2 that would copy the ibmslapddir.ksf file from server1 to server2:
scp /home/ldapdb2/idsslapd-ldapdb2/etc/ibmslapddir.ksf ldapdb2@server2:/home/ldapdb2/idsslapd-ldapdb2/etc
NOTE:
9) Schema sync the servers if they aren't already:
***This step can be skipped if the servers are already Schema-sync'd.***
To find if the instance's ldap schema files are in sync, do use the following commands in instance location's etc directory on both server1 and server2 and compare the same:
e.g.:
If the servers aren't Schema sync'd yet, copy all the V3.* files from the instance location's etc directory from server1 to the same location on server2. The default instance location is usually the instance owner's home directory; e.g.: /home/ldapdb2/idsslapd-ldapdb2/etc.
Here's an example of an scp command using ldapdb2 that would copy all the V3* files from server1 to server2:
scp /home/ldapdb2/idsslapd-ldapdb2/etc/V3* ldapdb2@server2:/home/ldapdb2/idsslapd-ldapdb2/etc/
NOTE:
Scheduled user synchronization of your full directory runs twice a day, and runs every 30 minutes for administrators. Run either type of full sync on-demand from the Duo Admin Panel. You can also run an individual user or administrator syncs on-demand from the Admin Panel or programmatically via Admin API.
Before executing any Active Directory synchronization with Duo, understand the effect that synchronization can have on accounts with the same name. Suppose that you already have some Duo users, and one or more of these users have the same username on your Active Directory server. Performing a synchronization will cause the existing Duo users' information to be merged with, and in some cases overwritten by the Active Directory information, such as email addresses in Duo changing to match the value stored in the synced directory.
Multiple directory syncs that use non-unique user names or the same selected groups may also produce undesired results, as each sync process could overwrite the user with different information or update the group memberships for a given user unexpectedly.
If you have previously created an Active Directory sync for users or administrators you can either create another new connection or reuse an existing connection to that directory for this new sync. User syncs and admin syncs can share connections to the same source directory.
If you are already running an Authentication Proxy server in your environment, you can also use that host for directory synchronization. If your existing Authentication Proxy server is version 5.2.0 or later, and it's already running a directory sync, you can use the same proxy connection to run additional syncs as long as they are all for the same Duo customer account (identical api_host values).
We do not recommend installing the Duo Authentication Proxy on the same Windows server that acts as your Active Directory domain controller or one with the Network Policy Server (NPS) role. If you must co-locate the Duo Authentication Proxy with these services, be prepared to resolve potential LDAP or RADIUS port conflicts between the Duo service and your pre-existing services.
Follow the prompts to complete the installation. The installer creates a user to run the proxy service and a group to own the log directory and files. You can accept the default user and group names or enter your own.
If SELinux is present on the target server, the Duo installer will ask you if you want to install the Authentication Proxy SELinux module. Your selection affects whether systemd can start the Authentication Proxy after installation.
After the installation completes, you will need to configure the proxy with your connection information. Note that as of v4.0.0, the default file access for the conf directory is restricted to the built-in "Administrators" group during installation on Windows systems.
Download the Authentication Proxy authproxy.cfg file for your AD domain sync by clicking the download a pre-configured file link in step 2 of the Duo Authentication Proxy section of the directory properties page. This file contains the values needed to set up the connection. You could also copy the values directly from the Admin Panel to paste into your server's config file.
A first time Authentication Proxy install may include an existing authproxy.cfg with some example content. If this is the first time you're configuring this Authentication Proxy server, you should delete the existing sample content.
The Duo Authentication Proxy Manager is a Windows utility for managing the Authentication Proxy installation on the Windows server where you install the Authentication Proxy. The Proxy Manager comes with Duo Authentication Proxy for Windows version 5.6.0 and later.
The Proxy Manager cannot manage remote Duo Authentication Proxy servers, nor can you install the Proxy Manager as a stand-alone application. There is no Proxy Manager available for Linux. The Proxy Manager only functions as part of a local Duo Authentication Proxy installation on Windows servers.
To launch the Proxy Manager utility:
- Open the Start Menu and go to Duo Security.
- Click the Duo Authentication Proxy Manager icon to launch the application. You must have administrative privileges on the Windows server and accept the prompt for elevation.
- The Proxy Manager launches and automatically opens the %ProgramFiles%\Duo Security Authentication Proxy\conf\authproxy.cfg file for editing.
Add your service account information (if necessary, depending on the authentication type you chose) to the information you downloaded and copied to your Authentication Proxy server's authproxy.cfg configuration file. Make sure to save your configuration file when done, or validate and then save in the Proxy Manager utility.
