Preface

IBM Security Verify Governance Active Directory 64-bit (WinAD64) Adapter.

 

These Release Notes contain information for the following products that was not available when the adapter manuals were printed:

 

 

Adapter Features and Purpose

The Active Directory Adapter is designed to create and manage accounts on Microsoft Active Directory and mailboxes on Exchange and Lync (Skype for Business). The adapter runs in "agentless" mode and communicates using Microsoft ADSI API and PowerShell to the systems being managed.

 

IBM recommends the installation of this adapter in "agentless" mode on a 64-bit OS and computer in the domain being managed. Installation on a Domain Controller is not recommended. A single copy of the adapter can handle multiple Identity Manager Services. The deployment configuration is based, in part, on the topology of your network domain, but the primary factor is the planned structure of your Identity and/or Governance policies and processes. Please refer to the Identity or Governance Information Center for a discussion of these topics.

 

The IBM Verify adapters are powerful tools that require Administrator Level authority. Adapters operate much like a human system administrator, creating accounts, permissions and home directories. Operations requested from the Identity Manager server will fail if the adapter is not given sufficient authority to perform the requested task. IBM recommends that this adapter run with administrative (root) permissions.

 

License Agreement

Review and agree to the terms of the IBM Security Verify Governance License prior to using this product. The license can be viewed from the "license" folder included in the product package

Adapter profiles

The adapter package includes two profiles:

 

ADprofile.jar

o   This profile is supported Identity and Governance. When used, if an AD group name or DN is changed in AD, the reconciliation operation will result it deleting the original group and adding the updating group as a new group.

  Governance results: all users who had permission on the original group will lose that permission and new permission will be added using the new name

o   No additional configuration changes are required on the adapter when the ADprofile.jar is used.

 

ADprofileGUID.jar

o   This profile is supported on Identity and Governance. When used, if an AD group name or DN is changed in AD, the reconciliation operation will only change the name and/or DN of the group.

  Governance results: all users who had permission on the original group will retain that permission but with new name and/or DN

o   When using ADprofileGUID.jar, you must configure the adapter to use GUID as the group naming attribute using agentCfg.exe on the adapter server

  Invoke agentCfg.exe -a adagent

-      Use option (F) Registry Settings

-      Use option (A) Modify Non-encrypted registry settings

-      Use option (B) Modify attribute value

-      Registry item to modify is: useGroup

-      New registry item value is: GUID

-      Use option (X) Done three times to exit out

-      Restart the adapter service for the change to take effect.

 

Service Groups Management

The ability to manage service groups is a feature introduced prior to IBM Security Identity Manager 6.0.  By service groups, ISIM is referring to any logical entity that can group accounts together on the managed resource.

 

Managing service groups implies the following:

 

            Create service groups on the managed resource.

            Modify attributes of a service group (group name change is not supported)

            Delete a service group.

 

           

The Windows Active Directory x64 adapter supports service groups management on Identy Manager only.

Support for Exchange and Lync is provided using remote powershell connections to the Exchange or Lync server.  There is a fixed limit of 5 concurrent connections to a remote powershell.  Setting the thread count to higher than the default of 3 could result in some Exchange or Lync attributes failing to be set under heavy loads.

The settings for Exchange Mailbox security for Read and Full access were using different values for settings in an attempt to have the default values on the form match those of Exchange.  This was confusing and causing issues when the default settings on the Exchange server were changed from what the adapter expected.  The adapter now uses the same values for all Exchange security settings.
1=Allow, 2=Deny and 0 or no value=None.

Class 3 Certificates

Class 3 secure server CA-G2 certs are not written properly to "DamlCACerts.pem" file through CertTool.exe Utility. The certificate data is written twice between BEGIN CERTIFICATE and END CERTIFICATE.

 

Work around: To correct this issue, please follow the below steps and edit "DamlCACerts.pem" file present in <Adapter installation path>\data" folder.

 

Step 1. Start the CertTool utility

 

Step 2. Import the class 3 CA certificate by using "F" option from the main menu of CertTool Utility.

 

Step 3. Once the class 3 CA certificate is successfully installed, open "DamlCACerts.pem" file stored in the <Adapter installed path>\data" folder using text editor.

 

Step 4. Delete the class 3 CA certificate data (i.e. content between BEGIN CERTIFICATE and END CERTIFICATE) from "DamlCACerts.pem"

 

Step 5. Open class 3 CA certificate file using text editor and copy the certificate data (between the BEGIN CERTIFICATE and END CERTIFICATE)

 

Step 6. Paste the certificate data to "DamlCACerts.pem" file between the BEGIN CERTIFICATE and END CERTIFICATE lines of same class 3 CA Certificate. If more than one class 3 certificates are installed then you can identify the certificate using issuer and subject data.

 

Step 7. Save "DamlCACerts.pem" file.

 

Step 8. To verify the "DamlCACerts.pem" file is edited properly, display certificate information by using option "E" from the main menu of CertTool Utility.

 

Please note that this issue is seen after installing class 3 CA certificate. If you correct the DamlCACerts.pem and then install another class 3 CA certificate, the newly installed class 3 CA certificate will show same issue.

 

This issue is also seen when you delete any certificate using option "G" from the main menu of CertTool utility. The delete option will affect all remaining class 3 CA certificate and you have to follow step 1 to 8 to correct the DamlCACerts.pem file.

Force Password Change

The "Force Password Change" check box is documented incorrectly in section "Specifying controls for a user account" of the User Guide.

 

It should be as follow: "If you select the Force Password Change check box, then the adapter sets the value of the pwdLastSet attribute to 0. If you do not select the Force Password Change check box, then the adapter sets the value of the pwdLastSet attribute to -1"


Append owner name to mailbox dn

The "Append owner name to mailbox dn" specify true of false value and if it is true then during Recon the adapter will fetch mailbox entries with their owning server and if specify false then in recon it will fetch only the MailboxDB.

Chapter 1: Overview

Please add these sections in this Chapter:

Exchange remote session timeout

 

Version 10.0.9 adds support for Exchange remote session timeout.

 

In order to execute Exchange powershell commands, the adapter establishes a remote powershell session with an Exchange server. This can take over a minute. Due to the overhead to establish a new connection, the adapter maintains the connection and uses it in subsequent requests. There is an idle timeout and if the connection is idle past that timeout, the connection is closed. However, if there are enough requests to keep the connection open without an idle timeout long enough, the credential is invalidated and powershell commands fail to execute with an Access is denied error. To avoid this, the adapter now supports a session timeout. If the connection is open past that timeout, it is closed and a new session is created. The default value is 1 hour. A new registry setting can be used to customize this timeout:

 

ExchSessionTimeoutMS- timeout value is milliseconds.

Archive Mailbox Support

 

Version 10.0.9 adds support for Exchange Archive Mailbox. The following attributes have been added to the schema to support this:

 

erADEArchiveAddress

erADEArchiveDatabase

erADEArchiveName

erADEArchiveQuota

erADEArchiveWarnQuota

 

An Archive mailbox can be on premises or remote. For on premises archive you supply erADEArchiveDatabase with the DN of the database in which to create the archive. For remote archive, you supply erADEArchiveAddress with the domain name of your Office 365 instance in a hybrid configuration using AzureADSync. The values erADEArchiveDatabase and erADEArchiveAddress are mutually exclusive and supplying both values in a request will result in an error.

 

For on premises archives, if erADEArchiveDatabase is supplied and an archive already exists, the adapter will issue a move request if the value is different from the current value.

 

specifying erADEArchiveDatabase or erADEArchiveAddress with a delete operation will delete the archive if one exists.

 

Exchange remote connection updates:

 

A new registry setting was added to configure ssl for the remote exchange session:

 

ExchUseSSL - Set to TRUE to use https. If this value is not set, the default is FALSE. If Basic Authentication is enabled, it will default to TRUE.

 

New attributes were added to the service form to configure Basic Authentication with Exchange servers.

erADEUseBasicAuth - Set to TRUE to use Basic Authentication (otherwise Kerberos is used)

erADEUserName - Username to use with Basic Authentication with Exchange server.

erADEPassword - Password to use with Basic Authentication with Exchange server.

 

If erADEUseBasicAuth is TRUE, erADEUserName and erADEPassword are required.

 

If ExchUseSSL is TRUE, you must install the CA certificate for the Exchange server(s) in the trust store for the user under which the adapter runs.

 

When using the default Kerberos authentication, the data is encrypted already and SSL is not necessary, but can be enabled as second level of encryption.

 

RFE 63875 Specify display name when enabling mailboxes.

A new specific adapter setting called MailCreateAddDisplayName is used to enable this feature. By default it is set to FALSE. Set to TRUE to enable this feature.

RFE 64093 Support for setting WorkingHoursStartTime using the ISIM6 WinAD64 Adapter

To implement this RFE, support for a new Exchange powershell call was required. The RFE was for Working Hours Start Time, but the api also supports the end time, time zone and work days. Support was added for all four values.

 

The attributes are:

 

erADECalStartTime - This is a local time value in the form of hh:mm:ss

erADECalEndTime - This is a local time value in the form of hh:mm:ss

erADECalTimeZone - This is the name of the time zone.

erADECalWorkDays - This is a comma separated list of days or one of the following: None, AllDays, WeekDays, or WeekEndDays

 

They are all String syntax. For more details see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/exchange/set-mailboxcalendarconfiguration?view=exchange-ps

 

Important: These values are not stored as ldap attributes on the account object. In order to retrieve these values during a recon requires a remote powershell call for each user that has an Exchange mailbox. This can severely impact performance during a large recon. A registry setting ( ReconCalendarTimes ) was added that must be set to TRUE for these attributes to be included in the recon results.

Remote Mailbox Support

The adapter now supports remote mailboxes. This allows supporting Office 365 mailboxes in a hybrid Exchange environment. A new attribute (erADEremoteAddress) has been added to the user object to support this feature. There are now 4 ways to create a mailbox with the adapter:

 

  1. Supply a mailbox store (erADEmailboxStore) to create a standard mailbox in the local Exchange server
  2. Supply a target mail address (erADEtargetAddress) to create an external mail account
  3. Supply a valid remote mail address (erADEremoteAddress) to create a remote mailbox
  4. Don't supply any of the above attributes, but supply any Exchange attribute ( such as erADEalias ) to create a standard mailbox and allow Exchange to decide which mail store to use.

 

To delete a mailbox, simply delete the value for the mail store or mail address.

 

The remote address and target address values use the same user attribute to store their value. The msExchRecipientType value indicates whether the mailbox is remote or not. Currently remote addresses appear in the target address field.  You will need to run a full reconciliation after installing this update to populate the remote addresses.
