        @Obsolesce I haven't seen that site, I'm going to check it out. Could always use more learning resources.

          Trying to wrap my brain around adding a CA to our domain so we can encrypt traffic between servers. OMG... Where do I start....

          For AD, I assume?

          Yes sir. What brought it about was we run Citrix xenapp and nothing is encrypted this side of the ADC

          Well, the passwords are. That's the only important bit in a typical domain communications chain. Not to belittle "encrypt everything", because that's a good idea in general. Just saying that AD is decently secure even when at its least secure.

          AD (and everything using it) is only as secure as the DC.

          DCs are pretty secure unless you screw something up. However, the DC does not hold passwords, so even a compromised DC does not divulge passwords. So technically, it can be more secure than the DC 🙂

          Hey Scott, can you enlighten me here? I'm no expert on this topic, but I expect the passwords to be stored someplace and somehow in the AD database?????????

          AD never stores passwords. AD only stores a password hash, ever. It has no way to recreate the original password or retrieve it. The only time to get the original password is to grab it at the time that it is typed in.

          This is a fundamental part of the security system - AD never knows, stores, or has your passwords at any step of the process. They aren't told to the server ever, they are never sent over the network, etc.

          Now, if you can completely compromise an end point to the point that you are on the network and sending your own direct hash to AD, you can still authenticate even without a password. But if you can do that, you've completely compromised the system anyway and didn't need to do so.

          I thought there was a "store password with reversable hash" option in AD? Granted, you should never user it.

                Hell of a lot more than just the US - US, UK, Australia, China, N. Korea... I'm sure most of the middle east, likely Russia (though I've never heard it mentioned in any news or podcasts, likely because it's assumed since they are totalitarian regimes)

                  The password is never stored. Simply the hash is easily reversible into the password.

                                      That's the way the boss ordered 10 new machines. The dev team needs the storage more than I do, but I'm grabbing one for me while they are still available. And I will likely swap the 1TB for a 500gb SSD. I tend to hoard ISOs and other installers.

                                        They need 1 TB+ of local storage? So I assume then that their machines are being backed up? or they have an insane need for temporary storage, but not fast temporary storage?

                                            And I will likely swap the 1TB for a 500gb SSD. I tend to hoard ISOs and other installers.

                                            You host them from your PC? not a server or NAS? uh... OK.

                                            More storage is on the way. And our devs hoard multiple copies of customer databases for development, testing, production, etc. And we have some huge customer DBs, many 300gb +.
