1 TwoFactor Authentication Service Jason Testart, Computer Science Computing Facility

2 WatITis 2006 | December 6, 2006 | ***TwoFactor Authentication Service*** Authentication Nomenclature Two-Factor Authentication Strong Authentication One-time password (OTP) Token-based authentication “RSA” and “SecurID” GINA

3 WatITis 2006 | December 6, 2006 | ***TwoFactor Authentication Service*** Why TwoFactor authentication? Thin clients Hacked workstations Lack of encrypted connection Shared accounts are bad

4 WatITis 2006 | December 6, 2006 | ***TwoFactor Authentication Service*** Hardware Tokens

5 WatITis 2006 | December 6, 2006 | ***TwoFactor Authentication Service*** Some History SecurID system purchased in 1996 by DP Needed for access to OGF DCS and MFCF: ssuw on xhiered Unix MFCF/CSCF assumed control of SecurID service from IST in 2004 after OGF upgrade

6 WatITis 2006 | December 6, 2006 | ***TwoFactor Authentication Service*** ACE Servers

7 WatITis 2006 | December 6, 2006 | ***TwoFactor Authentication Service*** CRYPTO-Shield by CryptoCard Less expensive Tokens don’t expire Ability to import from ACE server Good Linux support Now supports the Blackberry Canadian company

8 WatITis 2006 | December 6, 2006 | ***TwoFactor Authentication Service*** Got root? CRYPTO-Server does RADIUS Sudo is PAM enabled Pam-radius module works on Solaris, Linux, OS X Instead of ssuw, use “sudo –s”

9 WatITis 2006 | December 6, 2006 | ***TwoFactor Authentication Service*** Switches and Firewalls Firewall FreeRADIUS server CRYPTO-Server Firewall provides userid+password to FreeRADIUS server

10 WatITis 2006 | December 6, 2006 | ***TwoFactor Authentication Service*** Switches and Firewalls Firewall FreeRADIUS server CRYPTO-Server FreeRADIUS provides, via PAM, userid+password to CRYPTO-Server

11 WatITis 2006 | December 6, 2006 | ***TwoFactor Authentication Service*** Switches and Firewalls Firewall FreeRADIUS server CRYPTO-Server CRYPTO-Server accepts or rejects authentication request.

12 WatITis 2006 | December 6, 2006 | ***TwoFactor Authentication Service*** Switches and Firewalls Firewall FreeRADIUS server CRYPTO-Server If the CRYPTO-Server accepted the authentication, then the FreeRADIUS server looks-up the user in its users file and returns a “success” to the firewall along with the defined attributes for the user.

13 WatITis 2006 | December 6, 2006 | ***TwoFactor Authentication Service*** Active Directory Use a new domain for just Administrators CRYPTO-Logon agent on each domain member (replaces the GINA) CRYPTO-Logon DC service on each domain controller Place users of new domain in universal group(s) Give universal group(s) elevated privileges to other domains in the forest

14 WatITis 2006 | December 6, 2006 | ***TwoFactor Authentication Service*** Active Directory Architecture CRYPTO-Server AD Forest cscf.uwaterloo.ca cscf.uwaterloo.cacs.uwaterloo.ca sysadmins.cscf.uwaterloo.ca student.cs.uwaterloo.ca superusers.uwdomain.uwaterloo.ca uwdomain.uwaterloo.ca Hosts in the “sysadmins” and “superusers” domains authenticate against the CRYPTO-Server. AD Forest uwforest.uwaterloo.ca

15 WatITis 2006 | December 6, 2006 | ***TwoFactor Authentication Service*** Hardware Total of 6 hosts needed 2 for CRYPTO-Server (master and replica) 4 for Windows domain (3 DCs, 1 TS) All hosts are virtual 3 in MC, 3 in DC (BCP) Have capacity for 6 more virtual machines Everything is behind the Netscreens

16 WatITis 2006 | December 6, 2006 | ***TwoFactor Authentication Service*** Challenges/Limitations OS X functionality is limited in how we use it Limited integration with SSO plans Enforcing compliance

17 WatITis 2006 | December 6, 2006 | ***TwoFactor Authentication Service*** Thanks for your time! For more information, please visit: https://www.cs.uwaterloo.ca/twiki/view/CF/TwoFactor Any Questions?
