In this section, we assume that you already have the following prerequisites:
-
An Active Directory domain, with at least one Domain Controller (DC) running Windows Server 2016 (or a later version of the Windows Server operating system).
-
The Active Roles Administration Database and Active Roles Console of the latest version installed on a member server in your Active Directory domain, with the server running Windows Server 2016 (or a later version of the Windows Server operating system).
-
Your Active Directory domain is registered with Active Roles as a managed domain.
Configure Group Policy to enable domain controllers to issue claims:
-
On a domain controller running Windows Server 2016 or later, open the Group Policy Management console.
To open the Console, press Windows logo key+R to open the Run dialog box, type gpmc.msc, and click OK.
-
In the Console tree, select the Domain Controllers OU under your domain.
-
In the details pane, right-click Default Domain Controllers Policy, and then click Edit.
-
Perform the following steps in the Group Policy Management Editor console that appears:
-
In the Console tree, select Computer Configuration > Policies > Administrative Templates > System > KDC.
-
In the details pane, double-click KDC support for claims, compound authentication and Kerberos armoring.
-
In the KDC support for claims, compound authentication and Kerberos armoring dialog box, click Enabled and select Supported from the Options drop-down list. When finished, click OK to close the dialog box.
-
Close the Group Policy Management Editor.
-
Close Group Policy Management.
-
Open a command prompt and enter the following command: gpupdate /force.
Configure Group Policy to enable the Active Roles Administration Database to retrieve claims for clients by using Kerberos protocol transition:
-
On the server running the Active Roles Administration Service, open the Local Group Policy Editor console.
To open the console, press Windows logo key+R to open the Run dialog box, type gpedit.msc, and click OK.
-
In the Console tree, select Computer Configuration > Policies > Administrative Templates > System > Kerberos.
-
In the details pane, double-click Kerberos client support for claims, compound authentication and Kerberos armoring.
-
In the Kerberos client support for claims, compound authentication and Kerberos armoring dialog, click Enabled, and then click OK.
-
Restart the computer to apply the new setting to the Active Roles Administration Service. (Restarting only the Administration Service is not sufficient.)
Add the Service Principal Names (SPNs) of the Active Roles Administration Service to the service account, to enable support for Kerberos authentication. Enter the following commands at a command prompt, where <FQDN> stands for the fully qualified domain name of the computer running the Administration Service; <name> stands for the name of that computer; and <ServiceAccountName> stands for the name of the service account (domain user account under which the Administration Service runs):
-
setspn -s aradminsvc/<FQDN> <ServiceAccountName>
For example, setspn -s aradminsvc/arsrv.domain.com domain\arsvcacct
-
setspn -s aradminsvc/<name> <ServiceAccountName>
For example, setspn -s aradminsvc/arsrv domain\arsvcacct
Create a claim type object for your Domain Controller (DC) to issue user claims sourced from the Department attribute. Log in as an Active Roles administrator and perform the following steps in the Active Roles Console. (Assuming the default configuration, you must log in with a domain user account that is a member of the Administrators local group of the member server running the Active Roles Administration Service.)
-
In the Console tree, expand the Active Directory node, right-click the Claim Types container, and select New > Claim Type.
-
On the Source Attribute page, scroll down the list of attributes, and click Department.
-
Click Next and then click Finish.
Use the Active Roles Console to create an Access Rule object with a conditional expression that evaluates to True if the Department claim of the authorizing user evaluates exactly to the Department property of the target object:
-
In the Console tree, expand the Configuration node, right-click the Access Rules container, and select New > Access Rule.
-
On the General page, type Department Admins in the Name field, and then click Next.
-
On the Conditions page, configure the conditional expression:
-
Click the AND group item, and then click Insert condition.
-
Click Configure condition to evaluate, and then click User claim.
-
On the Select Claim Type page that appears, click Department in the list of claim types, and then click OK.
-
Verify that the comparison operator reads equals (this is the default setting).
-
Click Define value to compare to, and then click Target object property.
-
On the Select Target Object Property page that appears, select the Department property, and then click OK.
-
Click Finish.
