Step by step MIM PAM setup and evaluation Guide – Part 2

This is second part of the series. In the previous post we have prepared test environment for PAM deployment. Now we have two forests – prod.contoso.com and priv.contoso.com. In PROD we have set up Certificate services, Exchange server, ADFS services and configured two test applications – one is using Windows Integrated Authentication and the second Claim based Authentication.

Series:

• Part 1 – Preparing test environment
• Part 2 – PAM prerequisites
• Part 3 – Installing PAM Server
• Part 4 – Installing PAM Example portal
• Part 5 – MFA configuration
• Part 6 – Evaluation

Installing PAM prerequisites

1. 1. Preparing PROD Forest

1. 1. 1. Prepare Domain for gMSA

Add-KdsRootKey –EffectiveTime ((get-date).addhours(-10))

New-ADGroup -Name ‘Grp-gMSA’ -Path “OU=Service groups,OU=Service Identities,DC=priv,DC=contoso,DC=com” -GroupScope Global -Description ‘This Group contains Principals allowed to retrieve Managed Password’

1. 1. 1. Create Accounts

Username	Description

$svcAccounts = “OU=Service accounts,OU=Service Identities,DC=priv,DC=contoso,DC=com”

$secPwd = ConvertTo-SecureString ‘P@$$w0rd’ -asplaintext –force

New-ADUser -Name PAMAdmin -DisplayName “PAM Administrator” -Enabled $true -Path $svcAccounts -SamAccountName PAMAdmin -AccountPassword $secPwd -UserPrincipalName “PAMAdmin@priv.contoso.com” -Description “Used to install and Administer MIM. Needs Logon Locally and access over the network”

1. 1. 1. Add PRIV-PAM computer account to Grp-gMSA Group to be able to retrieve Group Managed Service Accounts passwords:

Add-ADGroupMember -Identity “CN= Grp-gMSA,OU=Service groups,OU=Service Identities,DC=priv,DC=contoso,DC=com” -Members PRIV-PAM$

Select Add and in new window select svc-PAMWs user.

Select FIMService and OK and again OK.

1. 1. 1. To be able to configure MFA Server we will temporarely establish two-way trust between PROD domain and PRIV domain.

netdom trust prod.contoso.com /domain:priv.contoso.com /usero:prodAdministrator /passwordo:”<Administrator Password>” /Twoway /ForestTRANsitive:Yes /add

1. 1. 1. Configure Trust to enable SIDHistory

netdom trust prod.contoso.com /domain:priv.contoso.com /EnableSIDHistory yes /usero:prodAdministrator /passwordo:”<Administrator Password>”

1. 2. Install SQL Server 2016

Log on to PRIV-PAM as a privPAMAdmin

1. 1. 1. Create Answer file

Open Notepad and paste following

[OPTIONS]

ACTION=”Install”

SQLCOLLATION=”SQL_LATIN1_General_CP1_CI_AS”

; Accounts

SQLSVCACCOUNT=”PRIVsvc_SQLService$”

AGTSVCACCOUNT=”PRIVsvc_SQLAgent$”

SQLSYSADMINACCOUNTS=”PRIVPAMAdmin”

INDICATEPROGRESS=”1″

AGTSVCSTARTUPTYPE=”Automatic”

SQLSVCSTARTUPTYPE=”Automatic”

SQLTEMPDBFILECOUNT=”4″

TCPENABLED=”1″

NPENABLED=”1″

This will install SQL server in Evaluation mode. You may want to add SQL Server License Key. Just add this line at the end of the above (naturally replace Xes with your license Key):

PID=”XXXX-XXXXX-XXXX-XXXX”

1. 1. 1. Save Answer file to the disk as PAM.Inf
      2. Open PowerShell and position to folder where answer file is saved
      3. Run following command (replace path to SQL distribution with yours)

C:SetupSoftwareSQL2016setup.exe /ConfigurationFile=PAM.inf

This will install SQL server on PRIV-PAM machine.

1. 1. 1. Configure SQL Server Networking:

From PowerShell run following commands:

$env:PSModulePath = $env:PSModulePath + “;C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft SQL Server130ToolsPowerShellModules”

Import-Module SQLPS

$wmi = new-object (‘Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Wmi.ManagedComputer’).

$Tcp = $wmi.GetSmoObject(“ManagedComputer[@Name=`’PRIV-PAM`’]/ServerInstance[@Name=`’PAM`’]/ServerProtocol[@Name=’Tcp’]”)

$Tcp.IsEnabled = $true

$wmi.GetSmoObject(“ManagedComputer[@Name=`’PRIV-PAM`’]/ServerInstance[@Name=`’PAM`’]/ServerProtocol[@Name=’Tcp’]/IPAddress[@Name=’IPAll’]”).IPAddressProperties[‘TcpPort’].Value=’1433′

$wmi.GetSmoObject(“ManagedComputer[@Name=`’PRIV-PAM`’]/ServerInstance[@Name=`’PAM`’]/ServerProtocol[@Name=’Tcp’]/IPAddress[@Name=’IPAll’]”).IPAddressProperties[‘TcpDynamicPorts’].Value=””

$Tcp.Alter()

$np = $wmi.GetSmoObject(“ManagedComputer[@Name=`’PRIV-PAM’`]/ServerInstance[@Name=`’PAM`’]/ServerProtocol[@Name=’np’]”)

$np.IsEnabled = $true

$np.Alter()

1. 1. 1. Restart SQL Server Service
      2. Create Firewall rule to allow access to SQL Service

New-NetFirewallRule -Description ‘Enables connection to SQL Server’ -Enabled True -Name ‘AllowSQL’ -DisplayName ‘Allow SQL’ -Protocol Tcp -LocalAddress Any -LocalPort ‘1433’ -RemoteAddress Any -RemotePort Any

1. 1. 1. SQL Management Studio isn’t any longer part of SQL Server distribution and needs to be downloaded separately and installed. To Download and Install SQL Server Management Studio
         1. Download SQL Management Studio from

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/ssms/download-sql-server-management-studio-ssms?view=sql-server-2017

1. 1. 1. Set Local Policies – harden accouns

On the PRIV-PAM server open Server Manager and from Tools menu select “Local Security Policy”

Navigate to “Local PoliciesUser Right Assignment”

Add specified users to appropriate Policies

1. 1. 1. 1. Deny access to this computer from the network – svc_PAMMonitor, svc_PAMComponent
         2. Deny Log on as a batch job – svc_PAMMonitor, svc_PAMComponent, svc_PAMWs
         3. Deny Log on Locally – svc_PAMMonitor, svc_PAMComponent, svc_PAMWs
         4. Deny Log on through Remote Desktop Service – svc_PAMMonitor, svc_PAMComponent, svc_PAMWs
         5. Log on as a service – svc_PAMMonitor, svc_PAMComponent, svc_PAMWs
      2. Reapply Policies

From PowerShell run following command

gpupdate /force /target:Computer

1. 1. 1. Configure IIS

From PowerShell run following command

iisreset /STOP

C:WindowsSystem32inetsrvappcmd.exe unlock config /section:windowsAuthentication -commit:apphost

iisreset /START

1. 1. 1. Create SQL Aliases

Now we will create two SQL Aliases for SharePoint and for PAM Service. Using SQL Aliases is recommended because makes easier changes of SQL Server

New-Item “HKLM:SoftwareMicrosoftMSSQLServerClientConnectTo”

New-ItemProperty -Path “HKLM:SoftwareMicrosoftMSSQLServerClientConnectTo” -Name SPSSQL -PropertyType String -Value “DBMSSOCN,PRIV-PAMPAM”

New-ItemProperty -Path “HKLM:SoftwareMicrosoftMSSQLServerClientConnectTo” -Name SVCSQL -PropertyType String -Value “DBMSSOCN,PRIV-PAMPAM”

1. 1. 1. Configure registry settings for SID History migration

New-ItemProperty –Path HKLM:SYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlLsa –Name TcpipClientSupport –PropertyType DWORD –Value 1

Restart-Computer

1. 1. 1. Test Connectivity to SQL Server

Log on to PRIV-PAM as a privPAMAdmin

Open PowerShell and run following code:

[System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection]$SqlConnection = New-Object System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection

$SqlConnection.ConnectionString = “Server = SPSSQL; Database = Master; Integrated Security = True;”

$SqlConnection.Open()

Write-Host (“Connection state to SPSSQL is {0}” -f $SqlConnection.State)

$SqlConnection.Close()

$SqlConnection.ConnectionString = “Server = SVCSQL; Database = Master; Integrated Security = True;”

$SqlConnection.Open()

Write-Host (“Connection state to SVCSQL is {0}” -f $SqlConnection.State)

$SqlConnection.Close()

At the end of the outpoot you should see following messages:

Connection state to SPSSQL is Open

Connection state to SVCSQL is Open

Conclusion of Part 2

Now we are ready for the Part 3 – Installing PAM Server.

In this exercise we went step by step through PAM Service prerequisites setup.

In the Part 3 we will set up SharePoint 2016, PAM Service, Portal and PAM.

Until then

Have a great week.
