Follow me and learn Windows Server 2012 - Dynamic Access Control

  • Article

Hello, Bruce here again.  With the release Windows Server 2012 we all have to start learning the new features of the product.    So I thought I would share with you what I’m studying and some resource to bring you to speed at the same time.     Below is the first topic I’m starting to look at.

Dynamic Access Control ( https://technet.microsoft.com/library/hh831717.aspx)

Today, it is difficult to translate business-intent using the existing authorization model. The existing capabilities of access control entries (ACEs) make it hard or impossible to fully express requirements. In addition, there are no central administration capabilities. Finally, modern-day increases in regulatory and business requirements around compliance further compound the problem.

Windows Server 2012 AD DS addresses these challenges by introducing:

  • A new claims-based authorization platform that enhances, not replaces, the existing model, which includes:
    • User-claims and device-claims
    • User + device claims (also known as compound identity)
  • New central access policies (CAP) model
  • Use of file-classification information in authorization decisions
  • Easier access-denied remediation experience
  • Access policies and audit policies can be defined flexibly and simply:
    • IF resource.Confidentiality = high THEN audit.Success WHEN user.EmployeeType = vendor

    Jacques, You do not have to have RMS or Certificates Services to use a Central access policy.  You will need 2012 DC and the file servers will need to be 2012. Here is a good walkthrough to assist your learning: Deploy a Central Access Policy (Demonstration Steps) technet.microsoft.com/.../hh846167.aspx

    What are the requirements and server roles needed for the New central access policies (CAP) model? Does Active Directory Rights Management Services and/or Active Directory Certificate Services need to be implemented for this to work?

    Does this seem overly complicated to anyone else?.  Now we're getting in to programming variables, IF THEN WHEN... for a file share.... too much.
