Sparks) Date: Fri Jul 16 16:34:42 2004 Subject: Windows 2000/XP <-> LDAP Message-ID: Greetings all, Here at Willamette we use an LDAP directory server. Since Windows 2000 doesn't like to authenticate through LDAP and we weren't willing to move to Active Directory we had a choice to make. We could either not deploy Windows 2000 on campus or we could write a custom login client that could authenticate against our LDAP server. Well, if you know those wacky Willamette folk, you already know which path we took. If you haven't thought about this problem, then you probably don't have a use for this software. However, if you've been longing for a way to use use your LDAP server to authenticate users on your Windows 2000/XP boxes then read on for the technical details. MS has created a method for 3rd party developers to interact with the logon process, they call it GINA (Graphical Interface aNd Authentication). We've been using the Willamette University GINA, or WU-GINA, for the past semester on Windows 2000 boxes with great success. Recently I've added support for XP as well, though this really hasn't been thouroghly tested yet. The WU-GINA has two methods of operation, which can be toggled with a registry setting. For systems running in a lab environment, there is a public mode that authenticates all users against LDAP, but maps any successfully authenticated user onto one of three accounts on the local machine. For example, students could map to a standard users account where as faculty could map to a power users account. This keeps you from having dozens of local profiles on each machine. In the non-public mode, the GINA authenticates the user attempting to log in and creates the local account on the machine with the same username and password if the account doesn't already exist or will sync the password for accounts that do exist. This allows your technical staff to setup and customize new Win2K/XP boxes with the correct username without needing to worry about passwords. In both modes, the WU-GINA will map network shares and network printers. Other features include SYSLOG and IDENT support as well as some very basic remote operation features. There is also an application portion that sits on the taskbar to identify the currently loged in user (useful in lab environments) and facilitates the logout process. Sorry for such a lengthy message, however, we thought others of you may be wrestling with a similar issue and perhaps this would help. If you think you might be able to use a 3rd party GINA I'd be happy to make the source available. If you have additional questions or comments I'd love to hear those as well. Cheers! Jeremy C.

I would love to have a law enforcement representative come and talk to us. Would it be worthwhile to consider this as a morning session (or afternoon) with a second track/session dealing with disaster planning? Considering recent events there has been a lot of material created that describes various institutions' responses and may provide some good background for discussion. I know PLU has had more than our share of crisis this past year and we have refined our emergency response a lot during that time. However, a true disaster is something we still struggle with from a planning perspective. David P.

In the non-public mode, the GINA authenticates the user attempting to log in and creates the local account on the machine with the same username and password if the account doesn't already exist or will sync the password for accounts that do exist. This allows your technical staff to setup and customize new Win2K/XP boxes with the correct username without needing to worry about passwords. In both modes, the WU-GINA will map network shares and network printers. Other features include SYSLOG and IDENT support as well as some very basic remote operation features. There is also an application portion that sits on the taskbar to identify the currently loged in user (useful in lab environments) and facilitates the logout process. Sorry for such a lengthy message, however, we thought others of you may be wrestling with a similar issue and perhaps this would help. If you think you might be able to use a 3rd party GINA I'd be happy to make the source available. If you have additional questions or comments I'd love to hear those as well. Cheers! Jeremy C.

I would love to have a law enforcement representative come and talk to us. Would it be worthwhile to consider this as a morning session (or afternoon) with a second track/session dealing with disaster planning? Considering recent events there has been a lot of material created that describes various institutions' responses and may provide some good background for discussion. I know PLU has had more than our share of crisis this past year and we have refined our emergency response a lot during that time. However, a true disaster is something we still struggle with from a planning perspective. David P.

Another topic that we might consider is how to deal with 24/7 service needs when we are not 24/7 shops... Have a happy holiday, everyone, and we will get back to this early in the New Year.
