Digital Identity and Access

Question: What trust relationship must be configured to secure trust relationships that makes users digital identity and access rights available to trusted sites? Answer: A federation trust is required to accomplish this. Once a federation trust is created between two organizations, one organization plays the role of the account partner organization while the other of the resource partner organization, wherein users of the former can send authorization requests through the federation trust to the latter. An AD FS-enabled web server should be present at the Resource Partner Organization. How to use Windows Integrated Authentication and strong authentication technologies. For authentication to Active Directory domain services, Kerberos version 5 authentication protocol is used along with extensions for public key authentication. The Kerberos authentication client is available via the Secure Support Provide Interface (SSPI) as a Security Support Provider (SSP), and is in turn integrated with Winlogon single sign-on architecture; whereas the Kerberos Key Distribution Center works in integration with other Windows Server security services. How to use Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) binding to authenticate users. The authorization state unauthenticated is allotted by default when a client connects to LDAP directory server for the first time. An LDAP client is used to transmit a BIND request to the server which changes the connection state to authenticated. A successful BIND request then changes the state to the distinguished-name in the BIND request. How does the authentication process enable Single Sign-On (SSO) to allow an end user accessing resources within multi-domain forest enterprise without having repeatedly supply their logon credentials. By enabling single sign on, a single credential is created for signing in to multiple servers/resources. Hence, once the sign in process is completed for any one of the account, the need to sign in separately to other services cease to exist. This is achieved by means of the Remote Desktop Gateway (RD Gateway) role service. AD FS requires each server to have a certificate that used for SSL communication. Discuss each task that is involved in issuing an SSL certificate to root CAs authentication process. The Active Directory used the SSL communication for authentication of the client on server using certificate. The certificates are generally self-generated certificated using GPU license, and are provided to client separately. We plan to use all the three services, because they have different roles, and they will help keep the server status healthy and bug free, and reduce the efforts in manual maintenance. Methods Feature Description Does it Require for your Prototype Yes or No Authenticate to a Web Service or Application Integrated Windows Authentication Digest Authentication Provides automatic authentication for connections between Microsoft Internet Information Services, Internet Explorer and other AD aware applications A username/password based authentication method that uses MD5 cryptographic hashing on the username and password prior to transmission on the network. Yes Authenticate within an Active Directory domain Kerberos An authentication protocol that involves manual authentication using symmetric key cryptography and a trusted third party, and public key cryptography as well during some phases. Yes Authenticate to legacy applications NTLM A suite of protocols developed by Microsoft which combines the LAN Manager protocol, NTLMv1, NTLMv2 and NTLMv2 Session into a single package, implemented as a Security Support Provider. No Extend modem authentication protection to legacy systems Extended Protection for Authentication A set of security updates to the Integrated Windows Authentication that help protect user authentication credentials when IWA is used. No Leverage multifactor authentication Smart card support Biometric support Windows devices equipped with a suitable scanner can use either smart card authentication or facial recognition/finger print scanning, or any combination of these technologies to obtain user authentication. No Provide local management storage and reuse of credentials Credential Management Local Security Authority Passwords Yes Secure authentication on the web TLS/SSL as implemented in the Secure channel Security Support Provider Yes
