Dynamic Access Control: In a nutshell

Data Classification

Flexible access control lists based on document classification and multiple identities (security groups).

Centralized access control lists using Central Access Policies.

Targeted access auditing based on document classification and user identity.

Centralized deployment of audit polices using Global Audit Policies.

Automatic RMS encryption based on document classification.

Expression-based auditing

Expression-based access conditions

Encryption

Classify your documents using resource properties stored in Active Directory.

Automatically classify documents based on document content.

Dynamic Access Control Building Blocks

• User and computer attributes can be used in ACEs

• ACEs with conditions, including logical and relational operatorsUser and Device Claims

Expression-Based ACEs

• File classifications can be used in authorization decisions• Continuous automatic classification• Automatic RMS encryption based on classification

Classification Enhancements

• Central authorization/audit rules defined in AD and applied across multiple file servers

Central Access and Audit Policies

• Allow users to self remedy or request access• Provide detailed troubleshooting info to adminsAccess Denied Assistance

User claimsUser.Department = Finance

User.Clearance = High

Conditional Access Policy

Applies to: Resource.Impact = HighAllow | Read,Write | if (User.Department = Resource.Department) AND (Device.Managed

Expression-based access policy

File Server

User and Device Claims

• Restricted to making policy decisions based on the user’s group memberships• Shadow groups are often created to reflect existing attributes as groups• Groups have rules around who can be members of which types of groups• No way to transform groups across AD trust boundaries• No way to control access based on characteristics of user’s device

Pre-2012: Security Principals Only

• Selected AD user/computer attributes are included in the security token• Claims can be used directly in file server permissions• Claims are consistently issued to all users in a forest• Claims can be transformed across trust boundaries• Enables newer types of policies that weren’t possible before:

• Example: Allow Write if User.MemberOf(Finance) and User.EmployeeType=FullTime and Device.Managed=True

Windows Server 2012: Security Principals, User Claims, Device Claims

Expression-Based ACEs

• Led to group bloat• Consider an org with 500 projects, 100 countries, 10 divisions• 500,000 total groups to represent every combination:

• ProjectZ UK Engineering Users• ProjectZ Canada Engineering Users [etc…]

Pre-2012: ’OR’ of groups only

• ACE conditions allow multiple groups with Boolean logic• Example: Allow modify IF MemberOf(ProjectZ) AND MemberOf(UK) AND

MemberOf(Engineering)• 610 groups instead of 500,000

Windows Server 2012: ‘AND’ in expressions

• 3 User Claims + 3 Resource properties

Windows Server 2012: with Central Access Policies & Classification

Conditional Expression Operators

Logical AND OR NOT Exists (resource

properties)

See MS-DTYP for processing rules

Relational =, != , <, >, <=, >=, Member_of Device_Member_of Member_of_Any Device_Member_of_Any Any_of Contains NOT*

Conditional Expressions in Windows

Extension of the CALLBACK_ACE_TYPE Allows custom ACE behavior Previously only available through AuthzAPI Expression goes into the ApplicationData section

What will happen when I deploy?

Changing Central Access Policies may have wide impact

Replicating production environment for test purposes is difficult and expensive

Staging Policies

Sample staging event (4818)Proposed Central Access Policy does not grant the same access permissions as the current Central Access Policy

Subject: Security ID: CONTOSODOM\alice Account Name: alice Account Domain: CONTOSODOMObject: Object Server: Security Object Type: File Object Name: C:\FileShare\Finance\FinanceReports\FinanceReport.xls Current Central Access Policy results: Access Reasons: READ_CONTROL: Granted by Ownership ReadAttributes: Granted by D:(A;ID;FA;;;BA) Proposed Central Access Policy results that differ from the current Central Access Policy results: Access Reasons: READ_CONTROL: NOT Granted by CAR “HBI Rule” ReadAttributes: NOT Granted by CAR “HBI Rule”

Kerberos and The New Token

Token/Ticket Bloat

Understanding the problem Token Bloat: Amount of authorization data in the NT Token Ticket Bloat: Amount of authorization data sent over the wire

Token Bloat: How does it manifest? Too many SIDs in the token (Upper bound of 1024)

Ticket Bloat: How does it manifest? Authorization data is sent over the network.

Over time, old group memberships linger and authorization data adds up. Might see failures in one type of application

Usually indicates the limits for that wire transport have been reached.

Impact of Claims

Ticket Bloat Claims is authorization data carried over the wire. Initially, some

increase in ticket sizes expected.

Windows 8 improvements DC compresses claims before sending them over the wire DC compresses certain types of SIDs that weren’t compressed before

(Resource Domain SIDs) MaxTokenSize default increased to 48k New audit events – DC starts logging events when ticket sizes exceed

specified value

Impact of Claims – Real Numbers

First Claim

1 Boolean Claim

Adds 242 Bytes

User Claims Set

5 Claims:• 1 Boolean• 1 Integer• 2 String – Single Valued

• Avg Len/value: 12 chars• 1 String – Multi Valued

• Avg Len/value: 12 chars• Avg #Values: 6 values

Adds 970 Bytes

Compound-ID Claims Sets

User - 5 Claims:• 1 Boolean• 1 Integer• 2 String – Single Valued

• Avg Len/value: 12 chars• 1 String – Multi Valued

• Avg Len/value: 12 chars• Avg #Values: 6 values

Device - 2 Claims:• 1 Boolean• 1 String – Single Valued

• Avg Len/value: 12 chars

Adds 1374 Bytes of Claims Data + Computer Group’s AuthZ Data

Worst-Case Analysis (assumes no compression):Gives us confidence that claims and compound-ID should not result in huge spikes of ticket sizes in most environments.

Bytes Before Compression120 user overhead120 device overhead114 per int/bool claim8 per int/bool value138 per string claim2 per string character

Incrementally add capabilities

Current infrastructure

Windows Server 2012 File Servers• Access and Audit

Policies based on security groups and file tagging

Windows Server 2012 DCs• Centrally defined

• User claims can be used by access and audit policies

claims to access and audit policies

• Better access denied experience
