Well, Another post that will be short with the idea of using recommendations and best practices; Today it's time to remember that we shouldn't use local users, and so we get our hands on Grafana, and force logins from a central store such as our Active Directory or any LDAP.
This week in A Podcast for YOU we have something that may be to everyone's liking, or that was a bit of the intention, Let's try to collect some tips, good practices and above all try to know and audit the status of our Active Directory,
We have already talked about the wonders of Apache Guacamole on some other occasion, this platform for secure connection to our environment via RDP, SSH, VNC… Ideal for small businesses, labs or trainings. Today we will see how to integrate it into Active Directory and publish certain resources to different users!
¡Monday! and with him… A Podcast for YOU arrives with a new episode! This time a 'Back to basics' returns, A mythical, we rolled up our sleeves to compress into an hour a talk about what Active Directory is.
If we want to join Centreon to an Active Directory, in order to delegate access to centralized accounts and not have to use local users, or, directly, for being a good practice; Here are the steps we'll need.
In this post we are going to see the installation of Apache Guacamole, an interesting tool based on free software that will allow us to connect to computers in a secure way, thanks to HTML5 and HTTPS we will be able to access computers with RDP, VNC, SSH or TELNET.
In this post we will be able to see how to configure authentication against our Active Directory in the VMware vSphere virtual platform. We'll enable it on the vCenter Server Appliance and ESXi hosts, so that you can assign access permissions to Active Directory users or groups. And so instead of using the default credentials (As we do wrongly); each employee will use their DA account, with the privileges that he should have, It will also be useful to see 'Who does what'.
Another critical item that we will monitor will be the status of our respectable Active Directory, although we know that we will have him in cotton wool and we will pamper him, because Nagios or Centreon will also monitor it. Thanks to a script we will test your health on a scheduled basis, monitoring its status at all times, as well as that of the Domain Controllers, Therefore, another thing that we will get out of our heads and an automated system will do it for us, And if it fails… He warns us!
With this last document we say goodbye to the PINsafe articles and everything we can do with it, we have already seen in previous articles how to configure a two-factor authentication in Citrix environments or in OWA access and today we will finally see how to integrate it into the login of a Windows, either for Terminal Services accesses or on each user's own PC!
In a previous document we already saw how to set up our corporate Dropbox, in this second OwnCloud document we will see additional configurations that we should make to have more functionalities such as sending links by email, put corporate logos, Filter by an AD Group, Default language in Spanish, Configuration for HTTPS, WebDAV connection and two interesting plugins to be able to log in everything that users do!
