Authentication is easily one of the most critical services provided by your network infrastructure. It is the gatekeeper for every resource on your network. Workstations, applications, printers, and files would all be open to the world without a system of ensuring that only those people who need any given resource can gain access to it. Once you have accepted the fact that you need authentication, you must decide whether to stay with one network operating system in the interest of a completely homogenous network, or accept a "best of breed" system that will better fulfill your needs, even though it will complicate your environment. If you choose the second option, often times you are left with a management nightmare, where you have two, three, or even more authentication engines to maintain across your network operating systems.

A couple of months ago I enthused (some might say "gushed") about Vintela Authentication Services, which enables you to efficiently - and securely - manage a single logon/password for Unix, Linux and Windows applications. In essence, it integrates the Unix and Linux platforms into Windows' Active Directory. The boys in Linden, Utah didn't rest on their laurels very long, though. Just last week came the announcement of a new add-on to VAS - Vintela Group Policy, which provides a framework for Unix and Linux policy-based management through the Windows Group Policy system. All integrated, of course, through Active Directory.

You've got a smooth running Windows network. Now some exec decides that a Unix/Linux application has to be brought in as a business-critical platform. Not that they know it's a Unix/Linux app, just that they went to a conference and someone told them (or they saw a presentation) and it was just the application your organization needs to achieve some corporate goal. It just happens to only run on Solaris or Red Hat or SuSE or AIX. You know that it's fruitless to argue that introducing a non-Windows box will create some management issues, some technical issues and, possibly, some security issues. The only answer you'd get would be a directive to solve the issues.

Microsoft Corp., together with six of the industry's leading identity management vendors, today previewed interoperable federated identity management solutions based on the Web services architecture (WS-*). Software companies IBM Corp., Netegrity Inc., Oblix Inc., OpenNetwork Technologies, Ping Identity Corp., RSA Security Inc. and Microsoft have successfully concluded work demonstrating how their identity management technologies interoperate using the Web Services Federation (WS-Federation) specification, part of the WS Security set of specifications. In his Tech•Ed keynote address today, Andrew Lees, corporate vice president for Server and Tools Marketing at Microsoft, showed how federated identity management based on WS-Federation and the WS-* architecture will simplify the work of IT professionals as they seek to cut the cost and complexity of passing identity credentials across security and organization boundaries in a Web services environment.

Identity Theft: It's The Transaction,
Not The Authentication That's The Issue

Identity Theft: It's The Transaction,
Not The Authentication That's The Issue 04/14/2005 01:21 PM
Bruce Schneier is continuing on earli er points he's made about problems with authentication methods, by breaking down identity theft and noting that it's really two different issues: impersonation and fraudulent transactions. Almost all of the ideas on how to deal with identity theft focus on stopping the first part, the impersonation, instead of the second part, the transaction. Schneier claims this is backwards -- and notes that it's almost the exact opposite of the way the credit card industry works. Of course, the response would be that if you can properly authenticate the person, then it does make it more difficult to even get to the fraudulent transaction. On top of that, despite Schneier's claims that the credit card industry is in good shape, plenty of identity theft does involve fraudulent credit card transactions. Either way, the points do make some sense, and it's important to clearly break down the real problems involved, instead of just letting a bunch of politicians come up with some law that they claim solves the problem -- when it's clear they barely understand the problem at all.

I often hear about the reluctance people have to installing Active Directory or to extend it in any way. In particular, people seem to have a real reluctance to expand the Active Directory schema. When I wrote about this problem recently (see link below), Dee Dee LaBruyere, Protocom Development Systems' perky marketing manager (Americas), dashed off a note that confirmed what others had been telling me, but which also offered a potential solution.
