The Security Descriptor Definition Language of Love (Part 2)

  • Articolo

Hi. Jim here from DS here with a follow up to my SDDL blog part I. At the end of my last post I promised to dissect further the SDDL output returned by running the CACLS with the /S switch on tools share as follows:

clip_image002

Here is the output exported to a .txt file:

"D:AI(D;OICI;FA;;;BG)(A;;FA;;;BA)(A;OICIID;FA;;;BA)(A;OICIID;FA;;;SY)(A;OICIIOID;GA;;;CO)(A;OICIID;0x1200a9;;;BU)(A;CIID;LC;;;BU)(A;CIID;DC;;;BU)"

Let’s examine the first segment more closely: "D:AI(D;OICI;FA;;;BG)(A;;FA;;;BA)

Now the second ACE segment: (A;:FA;;;BA)

You get the picture. There is a chart provided at the end which contains all the acronyms in addition to the ones illustrated in this output.

At this point you may be asking why there are there two different ACE entries for Built-in Administrators. The first ACE indicates the ACE applied directly to the object (In this case TOOLS for the BA’s). The second ACE indicates the ACE’s for this object that flow down from TOOLS via inheritance.

This is illustrated in the Permissions tab of Advanced Security Settings for the TOOLS share:

clip_image002[5]

Now you may well be wondering “Jim, how can I use this SDDL wonderment to make my administrative tasks less tedious?"

Well here is an example on how you can do just that.

Scenario: Its Friday at 3pm. You have to deploy 10 printers to the call center. Every single printer should have the exact same security settings for access (oversimplified yes, but you get the point). You need to get this done expediently so as not to miss happy hour. All the printers are IP’d and are installed on your print server. You have applied the necessary security on one printer as follows:

clip_image004

Using the SETPRINTER utility you can view the security applied in SDDL format as follows:

clip_image006

Here is the command as well as the output:

C:\>setprinter -show \\2003dom-member\printer1 3

pSecurityDescriptor="O:BAG:DUD:(A;;LCSWSDRCWDWO;;;BA)(A;OIIO;RPWPSDRCWDWO;;;BA)(A;;SWRC;;;S-1-5-21-329599412-2737779004-1408050790-2604)(A;CIIO;RC;;;CO)(A;OIIO;RPWPSDRCWDWO;;;CO)(A;CIIO;RC;;;S-1-5-21-329599412-2737779004-1408050790-2605)(A;OIIO;RPWPSDRCWDWO;;;S-1-5-21-329599412-2737779004-1408050790-2605)(A;;SWRC;;;S-1-5-21-329599412-2737779004-1408050790-2605)(A;;LCSWSDRCWDWO;;;PU)(A;OIIO;RPWPSDRCWDWO;;;PU)"

Now create yourself a .CMD file containing the following parameters remembering of course to substitute your Print server name and your printer names where indicated. Also be sure NOT to wrap your SDDL parameters as below. This is done here purely for readability. The entire command should be on one line :

setprinter \\”Print_Server_Name”\printer1 3 pSecurityDescriptor="O:BAG:DUD:(A;;LCSWSDRCWDWO;;;BA)(A;OIIO;RPWPSDRCWDWO;;;BA)(A;;SWRC;;;S-1-5-21-329599412-2737779004-1408050790-2604)(A;CIIO;RC;;;CO)(A;OIIO;RPWPSDRCWDWO;;;CO)(A;CIIO;RC;;;S-1-5-21-329599412-2737779004-1408050790-2605)(A;OIIO;RPWPSDRCWDWO;;;S-1-5-21-329599412-2737779004-1408050790-2605)(A;;SWRC;;;S-1-5-21-329599412-2737779004-1408050790-2605)(A;;LCSWSDRCWDWO;;;PU)(A;OIIO;RPWPSDRCWDWO;;;PU)"

setprinter \\”Print_Server_Name”\printer2 3 pSecurityDescriptor="O:BAG:DUD:(A;;LCSWSDRCWDWO;;;BA)(A;OIIO;RPWPSDRCWDWO;;;BA)(A;;SWRC;;;S-1-5-21-329599412-2737779004-1408050790-2604)(A;CIIO;RC;;;CO)(A;OIIO;RPWPSDRCWDWO;;;CO)(A;CIIO;RC;;;S-1-5-21-329599412-2737779004-1408050790-2605)(A;OIIO;RPWPSDRCWDWO;;;S-1-5-21-329599412-2737779004-1408050790-2605)(A;;SWRC;;;S-1-5-21-329599412-2737779004-1408050790-2605)(A;;LCSWSDRCWDWO;;;PU)(A;OIIO;RPWPSDRCWDWO;;;PU)"

setprinter \\”Print_Server_Name”\printer3 3 pSecurityDescriptor="O:BAG:DUD:(A;;LCSWSDRCWDWO;;;BA)(A;OIIO;RPWPSDRCWDWO;;;BA)(A;;SWRC;;;S-1-5-21-329599412-2737779004-1408050790-2604)(A;CIIO;RC;;;CO)(A;OIIO;RPWPSDRCWDWO;;;CO)(A;CIIO;RC;;;S-1-5-21-329599412-2737779004-1408050790-2605)(A;OIIO;RPWPSDRCWDWO;;;S-1-5-21-329599412-2737779004-1408050790-2605)(A;;SWRC;;;S-1-5-21-329599412-2737779004-1408050790-2605)(A;;LCSWSDRCWDWO;;;PU)(A;OIIO;RPWPSDRCWDWO;;;PU)"

end

exit

 

 

 

 

 

You may add as many similarly configured printers as you like.

Included below are charts for the acronyms of the SDDL taken directly from MSDN2. These can also be viewed here:

ACE Type

The ACE type designates whether the trustee is allowed, denied or audited.

Value

Description

I hope you have found this entertaining and informative!

The ObjectType is a GUID that Identifies a type of child object, a property or property set or an extended right.  If present it limits the ACE to the object the GUID represents.  For a more verbose explanation of this please visit the following link -

https://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/windows2000serv/reskit/distrib/dsce_ctl_iunu.mspx?mfr=true

Inherited Object Type contains a GUID that identifies the type of child object that can inherit the ACE. Inheritance is also controlled by the ACE's Inheritance Flags and by any protection against inheritance placed on the child object in its Security Descriptor Control Flags.
