Account lockout in LDAPS

all,

have external ad forest created in dmz, 1 dc (2012 r2), running windows ca , adds , ldaps port 636 enabled other network.

there 1 2008 r2 web server in workgroup, application (java based)running on box connects dc through ldaps user authentication\user account creationn\deletion using ldaps service account (used inside application).

setup , working fine. it’s been found per ad policy auto unlock of ad account not working after 30 minutes (in ad policy set after 3 wrong password, lock account , policy unlock account after 30 minutes).

after troubleshooting found that, accounts able authenticate ad has below sequence of events.

4776-credential validation
4648-explict credential logon audit.
4624- successful logon audit
4634- logoff event

user have tried wring password more 3 times has below scenario

1. after 3 bad password attempts, users not able login.
2. accounts not getting locked (no account lockout event) in ad.
3. administrator logged ad, unlock account user account properties (though account not locked per ad log). user able login right password.
4. since accounts not getting locked, not getting unlocked policy, not able login though use right password after 3 attempts.
5. if directly rdp dc bad password account lockout event logged. if come through application authentication (ldaps account) it’s not getting locked.


suspect  the in event id 4624 , impersonation level set impersonation,  so bad password attempts not considered direct user object, since ldaps service account impersonating actual user account, actual user account never locked, let me know if right.

suspect impersonation level set in application, nothing configure in ad.

please let me know thoughts, never seen behaviors, new me. have enable auto unlock feature working.

thank you..

forefront  threat management gateway - article has similar scenario, where impersonation is used, 

please let me know if applicable in case., internal ca certificate used ldaps, causing account not lockout?

for example because unrealistic perform kerberos authentication on internet, ssl certificates might used authenticating users @ forefront tmg computer. after forefront tmg verifies user's identity, forefront tmg cannot pass ssl client certificate provided user published server, can impersonate user , obtain kerberos service ticket authenticating user (client) published web server.

 

if forefront tmg can forward user's credentials internal server, there no need prompt user second time obtain appropriate credentials. however, when ssl client certificates used, forefront tmg cannot delegate user's credentials internal mail server, such microsoft exchange server, because forefront tmg never receives password can passed on server. there no way forward ssl client certificate server. intended security feature of ssl protocol.

 

without kerberos constrained delegation, forefront tmg can delegate credentials when client credentials received using basic authentication or http forms-based authentication. credentials supplied in ssl certificate cannot delegated. kerberos constrained delegation, forefront tmg can delegate client credentials supplied following types of authentication:

 

• basic authentication
• digest authentication
• integrated authentication
• ssl client certificate authentication - case
• forms-based authentication user name/password credentials
• forms-based authentication user passcode

 

after verifying identity of user sending web request using non-kerberos authentication protocol, forefront tmg can use kerberos protocol transition switch kerberos protocol authentication on behalf of user , send kerberos service ticket instead of user's credentials published web server accepts kerberos authentication. concept implemented in following steps:

 

1. in step 1, user sending web request authenticated forefront tmg through non-kerberos authentication method windows (active directory) validation method.
2. in step 2, when authentication completed, windows user token created authenticated user. because user not authenticated kerberos, user token not associated kerberos service ticket. conversely, when user authenticated kerberos protocol, user token indirectly linked kerberos service ticket user.
3. in step 3, forefront tmg uses user token impersonate user , request kerberos service ticket specific service on published web server on behalf of user.
4. in step 4, windows server 2008 operating system on forefront tmg computer detects there no kerberos service ticket in user token , automatically initiates protocol transition requesting service ticket forefront tmg impersonated user.
5. in step 5, service ticket issued through protocol transition mapped user token, , forefront tmg uses request service ticket published service. when kerberos constrained delegation configured properly, published web server accepts kerberos service ticket instead of user name/password credentials, , user authenticate
