Cause 2013: A Flexible Approach to Creating an Enterprise Directoryrwgorrel
Leveraging Microsoft Active Directory LDS to create a flexible enterprise directory.
As UNCG sought to replace Novell Directory Services with the next generation enterprise authentication and directory services (LDAP), we examined OpenLDAP, Active Directory, and Active Directory Lightweight Domain Services. Hear why we picked a somewhat uncommon approach in the less known AD LDS product and the flexibility it afforded us a middle ground between OpenLDAP and the urge to use existing Active Directory domain. We will also discuss the ADAMSync tool used to populate this environment as well as the MSUserProxy object to centralize authentication.
In this class we will take a structured approach to understanding troubleshooting skills to help you figure out what went wrong. Whether it's a task that isn't doing what you want, or a bigger issue- understanding how to debug is a skill all admins should hone regularly. Learn more: http://dell.to/1GDYpr8

Understanding Globus Data Transfers with NetSageGlobus
NetSage is an open privacy-aware network measurement, analysis, and visualization service designed to help end-users visualize and reason about large data transfers. NetSage traditionally has used a combination of passive measurements, including SNMP and flow data, as well as active measurements, mainly perfSONAR, to provide longitudinal network performance data visualization. It has been deployed by dozens of networks world wide, and is supported domestically by the Engagement and Performance Operations Center (EPOC), NSF #2328479. We have recently expanded the NetSage data sources to include logs for Globus data transfers, following the same privacy-preserving approach as for Flow data. Using the logs for the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) as an example, this talk will walk through several different example use cases that NetSage can answer, including: Who is using Globus to share data with my institution, and what kind of performance are they able to achieve? How many transfers has Globus supported for us? Which sites are we sharing the most data with, and how is that changing over time? How is my site using Globus to move data internally, and what kind of performance do we see for those transfers? What percentage of data transfers at my institution used Globus, and how did the overall data transfer performance compare to the Globus users?

How to Position Your Globus Data Portal for Success Ten Good PracticesGlobus
Science gateways allow science and engineering communities to access shared data, software, computing services, and instruments. Science gateways have gained a lot of traction in the last twenty years, as evidenced by projects such as the Science Gateways Community Institute (SGCI) and the Center of Excellence on Science Gateways (SGX3) in the US, The Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) and its platforms in Australia, and the projects around Virtual Research Environments in Europe. A few mature frameworks have evolved with their different strengths and foci and have been taken up by a larger community such as the Globus Data Portal, Hubzero, Tapis, and Galaxy. However, even when gateways are built on successful frameworks, they continue to face the challenges of ongoing maintenance costs and how to meet the ever-expanding needs of the community they serve with enhanced features. It is not uncommon that gateways with compelling use cases are nonetheless unable to get past the prototype phase and become a full production service, or if they do, they don't survive more than a couple of years. While there is no guaranteed pathway to success, it seems likely that for any gateway there is a need for a strong community and/or solid funding streams to create and sustain its success. With over twenty years of examples to draw from, this presentation goes into detail for ten factors common to successful and enduring gateways that effectively serve as best practices for any new or developing gateway.

LDAP Terminology
• OU= Organizational Unit. Remember- each user can be in only one of these.
• DC= Domain Component- Top Level Domain identifiers, such as Kace.com
• DN= Distinguished Name – Everything has one. This is the complete proper name describing an
object.
• CN= Common Name, Every object has one. Simplified name of DN for an object. Some default
containers are CNs (Computers).
• Attributes: Data Fields holding information about a CN, such as a user Telephone Number, Delivery
Address, Group Membership
8. Dell World User Forum
LDAP Attributes
An Attribute is a data field that helps to classify the Domain Object. These attributes
could contain the user’s email address, phone number or a security group they are
a part of.
• memberOf
• objectClass- See more info here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-
us/library/windows/desktop/ms680938%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
• objectGUID

K1000 LDAP Label Variables
The K1000 variables can be placed inside the search filter to pass information from the K1000
into LDAP. This is useful for user login and creating LDAP Labels.
• Machine Variables are passed to the filter at machine checkin.
• User variables are passed to the filter at User Log in.
10. Dell World User Forum
Distinguished Names
• The Following Domain Tree:
• Battlestar.Local
– (OU) Galactica
› (OU) Pilots
o (OU) Viper
• This would be listed as Follows:
– OU=Viper,OU=Pilots,OU=Galactica,DC=Battlestar,DC=Local
Most Restrictive ================> Least Restrictive
11. Dell World User Forum
Search Filter
• () = Parentheses - Standard logical delineator for organizing the order of operation or evaluation.
• & = Ampersand - Signifies that both* conditions MUST be true (AND)
• | = Pipe - Signifies that one condition MUST be true (OR)
In an LDAP Search Filter the follow basic syntax is used:
• (condition)
• (&(condition1)(condition2))
• (|(condition1)(condition2))
• The way this would look with an actual LDAP filter is as follows:
• (&(objectClass=Person)( memberOf=CN=Security Group,OU=Pilots,OU=Galactica,DC=Battlestar,DC=Local))
13. Dell World User Forum
Creating & Understanding Existing Roles
• Dell KACE K1000 has four default Roles
– Administrator
– Read Only Administrator

LDAP Import – Step 1
• Refine your attributes list
– Supplement default list
if needed
• Label Attribute
– Typically “memberof”
– Creates blank LDAP Labels
– Change Prefix as desired
– Remove if not used
• Set Max # Rows
• Set Email Recipients
• Set Scheduling
24. Dell World User Forum
LDAP Import – Step 2
• Map the first four attributes
– LDAP UID = objectguid
– User Name = samaccountname
– Full Name = name, displayname
– Email = mail*
• Map other fields as needed
– Custom attributes come into play
– Must have identified them in step 1
– Must be in preview table
• Assign role
• Create user labels as desired
25. Dell World User Forum
LDAP Import – Step 3
• Review import data
– Look for errors or bad data
• Import when ready!

Understanding LDAP Labels
• Similar to Smart Labels, but uses LDAP info
• LDAP User Labels are essential for efficient Service Desk or User Portal usage
• LDAP Machine Labels are highly useful as a compliment to Smart Labels

Single Sign-On
• Kace.uservoice.com top feature request first
implemented in v5.5
• Settings > Control Panel > Security Settings
• Single Sign-On allows your users to log into
the K1000 Appliance without having to enter
their User name or password.
• The K1000 can only use one domain for
single sign-on.
36. Dell World User Forum
Using Single Sign-On
To use single sign-on, you must enter the hostname of the K1000 appliance in the browser,
entering the IP address will direct you to the login page.
Supported browsers are:
• Chrome
– Chrome requires no modifications at this time.
• Firefox
– In Firefox, type about:config in the address bar
– In the search field type the following: network.negotiate-auth.trusted-uris
– In the search results, double-click the name of the preference
– In the string value box, enter the URL of the Kace Appliance then click OK.
37. Dell World User Forum
Using Single Sign-On Pt. 2
• Internet Explorer
– In IE, click Tools Internet Options Security
– Select the appropriate security policy:
– Add K1000 to trusted sites
– Click custom level then scroll to the bottom of the list.
– Select automatic logon with current username and password. If this option is not set, Internet explorer
cannot automatically log into the Kace Appliance even if single sign-on is enabled on the Kace Appliance.

Editor's Notes
Base DN
Base Distinguished Name (DN) refers to the BASE LEVEL wherein anyone or anything you want to search for might be kept.
For the above:
a Base DN to include a user, it would have to be: OU=Users,DC=KACE,DC=com
if you wanted to authenticate based on a Security group, then the group must also be located under the Base DN, meaning I may need to shift my entry point up.
*** WHEN AUTHENTICATING ON A GROUP, DO SO OFF OF A SECURITY GROUP, NOT A DISTRIBUTION GROUP. DOING BOTH CAN CAUSE DUPLICATION OF ITEMS INSIDE THE APPLIANCE
memberOf - Specifies which security groups and OUs an object is a member of. You can have many memberOf attributes.
objectClass - Provides the class of the object. This could be Person or Computer any number of possibilities provided by your directory application See more info here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms680938%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
objectGUID - This is a Unique Identifier for the object. It is set by the system when the object is created and cannot be changed.
userPrincipalName - This attribute contains the UPN that is shorter than the distinguished name and easier to remember. By convention, this can map to the user email name if your directory services doesn’t have the email address populated.
evice: Labels applied to device records. This is useful if you want to automatically group devices by name, description, and other LDAP criteria. Each time a device checks in to the appliance, this query runs against the LDAP server. The admin value in the Search Filter field is replaced with the name of the user that is logged in to the device. If a result is returned, the device is assigned the label specified in theAssociated Label Name field.
During the filter processing, the K1000 replaces all KBOX_ defined variables with their respective runtime values.
Supported variables include:
KBOX_COMPUTER_NAMEKBOX_COMPUTER_DESCRIPTIONKBOX_COMPUTER_MACKBOX_COMPUTER_IPKBOX_USERNAMEKBOX_USER_DOMAINKBOX_DOMAINUSERKBOX_CUSTOM_INVENTORY_*
The KBOX_CUSTOM_INVENTORY_* field can be used to check a custom inventory value. The * is replaced with the Display Name of the custom inventory rule. Allowed characters are [a-z0-9.-]. Any other characters are replaced with an underscore (_).
•
User: Labels applied to user records. This is useful if you want to automatically group users by domain, location, budget code, or other LDAP criteria. LDAP Labels are applied to or removed from user records when users are imported to the appliance manually or according to a schedule.
Supported variables include:
KBOX_USER_NAMEKBOX_FULL_NAMEKBOX_EMAILKBOX_DOMAINKBOX_BUDGET_CODEKBOX_LOCATIONKBOX_WORK_PHONEKBOX_HOME_PHONEKBOX_MOBILE_PHONEKBOX_PAGER_PHONEKBOX_CUSTOM_1KBOX_CUSTOM_2KBOX_CUSTOM_3KBOX_CUSTOM_4KBOX_ROLE_IDKBOX_API_ENABLEDKBOX_LOCALE_BROWSER_IDKBOX_HD_DEFAULT_QUEUE_IDKBOX_LDAP_UID
NOTE: To test a label, replace KBOX_ variables with real values, then select Test.
Distinguished Names are formed by listing the objects from most restrictive to the least restrictive. Each section should declare what you are calling (ex. DC=, CN= etc..) and be seperated by a comma
We can use logical operators in the Search filter, so all the rules of DNs apply but we can now add additional filter options
() = Parentheses - Standard Mathematical delineator for organizing the order of operation or evaluation.
& = Ampersand - Signifies that both* conditions MUST be true (AND)
| = Pipe - Signifies that one condition MUST be true (OR)
In an LDAP Search Filter the follow basic syntax is used:
(condition) or (&(condition1)(condition2)) or (|(condition1)(condition2))
(condition) - Only look for entries where this condition is true
(&(condition1)(condition2)) - Only look for entries where Condition1 AND Condition2 are true
(|(condition1)(condition2)) - Only look for entries where either Condition1 OR Condition2 is true
The way this would look with an actual LDAP filter is as follows:
(&(objectClass=Person)( memberOf=CN=Security Group,OU=Pilots,OU=Galactica,DC=Battlestar,DC=Local))
Can do one query per domain if desired. This is more simple to set up, but requires manual elevation of users needing permissions beyond the default role.
Be certain to discuss the default servers! REMOVE THEM!
For normal LDAP (Not LDAPS), if you have a particularly large environment you can try using Port 3268 instead of 389. This calls info from the Global Catalog. It’s a faster query in general and is not limited to a single domain. This can resolve timeout issues if you have a very large directory structure. If the GC service is shut off on the server targeted by the query, this will obviously fail.
Base DN: Make sure you have no extra spaces or line feeds in there. It will cause the query to fail.
Search Filter: Make sure you have no extra spaces or line feeds in there. It will cause the query to fail.
Credentials: Login can be as shown, user principle name (user@domain.com) or Distinguished Name (cn=Bob,OU=Users,DC=domain,DC=com)
Stress that if you're going against an OU, it's far better to use a simple Search Filter and use the OU as your Base DN.
Discuss no extra lines, no extra spaces!
All users of the domain, that are part of the K1 Users group will be authenticated. Note that the DN for the K1 Users group points to a different OU than your user accounts are likely to be. (Security Groups OU)
Not the most efficient due to searching the entire AD tree to find a single entry. If all of the K1 Users group are in the same OU, it would be far better to use a more open filter with a more focused Base DN.
Both methods may provide you with the same list of users. Option 2 is significantly more efficient in that it is a much more focused search (Base DN in the correct OU), and has far fewer criteria to compare against (Search Filter).
Mention that the top part of the screen, cut off in the picture, is just the filter that we started the import from. It cannot be edited in this screen.
Discuss mapping options. Make sure to point out the Labels section in the very lower left of the image.
If mail is not an attribute that is populated in the directory services, userPrincipalName can be used instead.
Based off LDAP Attiributes. How often do we change these? While the LDAP label itself is dynamic, it will only change when we change AD.
LDAP User Labels are very useful in service desk applications
Especially if you have high staff turnover
They automatically update after a change is made in AD, at the next User login or next User Import
Only way to automate putting your users into labels
LDAP Machine Labels are very useful as well
They are also updated after changes in AD are made, but they are updated at machine inventory
Remember, that machines are mobile. Just because the machine account exists in a particular location’s OU, doesn’t mean that it actually IS in that physical location, when you deploy software, patches or scripts it. Good for showing where a machine is assigned, and use a Smart Label to show where that machine actually is (By IP for example).
There are two types of User filters. If the Search Filter contains the name of label and the user, then if there is any result row, the user must be in the label specified above. In this case you do not need to fill in the Label Attribute.
In the second case, the search only specifies the name of the user which has an attribute like memberOf that lists all the labels that user is in. In this case, we need to know the name of the attribute to retrieve. Fill in the name of the attribute for Label Attribute. If any of these results match a User Filter label then the label will be set on the user.
If specified, the Label Prefix will be prepended to the results of the Label Attribute so construct the label name. This would need to match the prefix that was specified during Import User.
