Authentication Functions
When an Active Directory server is specified as an authentication server, the following system environment is required.
Software (operating system): | Windows Server 2016*1/Windows Server 2019*1/Windows Server 2022*1 |
*1 Users cannot log in with Active Directory authentication if Kerberos Armoring is enabled for KDCrelated policies (group policies). Make sure to disable Kerberos Armoring. | |
Kerberos encryption methods for the Active Directory authentication supported by the current version of User Authentication are as follows.
Encryption method | 128-bit AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) 256-bit AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) DES (Data Encryption Standard) RC4 |
|
The available encryption methods may vary, depending on the Active Directory settings. Of the available encryption methods, the one with the highest cipher strength is automatically selected. |
When specifying an Active Directory server as an authentication server, use the following ports*1 on the server.
To communicate with a DNS server: | port number 53 |
To communicate with a KDC (Key Distribution Center): | port number 88 |
To communicate with a server for LDAP directory service (can be changed to an arbitrary port number for the LDAP service): | port number 389 |
*1 The above port numbers are default values. These numbers may vary depending on the selected settings. | |
When specifying an LDAP server as an authentication server, the following system environment is required.
Software: | OpenLDAP |
Operating system: | Requirements are pursuant to the product specifications of the LDAP server. |
When specifying an LDAP server as an authentication server, use the following ports*1 on the server.
To communicate with the LDAP server using LDAP (when TLS is enabled): | port number 636 |
To communicate with the LDAP server using LDAP (when TLS is disabled): | port number 389 |
*1 The port numbers can be changed according to the LDAP server settings. | |
Firewall Settings
When specifying IP addresses in firewall settings, up to 16 IP addresses (or ranges of IP addresses) can be specified for both IPv4 and IPv6.
When specifying MAC addresses in firewall settings, up to 100 MAC addresses can be specified.
The exception addresses and exception port numbers that can be used for communication using the sub line and are registered by default are indicated below.
Exception addresses: | 0.0.0.1 to 255.255.255.255 |
Exception port numbers: | 53, 67, 68, 80, 161, 443, 515*, 631*, 3702, 5353, 5357, 5358, 8000*, 8080, 8443*, 9013, 9100*, 10443*, 20010*, 47545 |
* Inbound filter only | |
Registration of Keys and Certificates
If you install a key or CA certificate from a computer, make sure that they meet the following requirements:
Format | Key: PKCS#12*1 CA certificate: X.509 DER/PEM |
File extension | Key: ".p12" or ".pfx" CA certificate: ".cer" or ".pem" |
Public key algorithm (and key length) | RSA (512-bit, 1024-bit, 2048-bit, 4096-bit) DSA (1024-bit, 2048-bit, 3072-bit) ECDSA (P256, P384, P521) |
Certificate signature algorithm | RSA: SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384*2, SHA-512*2, MD2, MD5 DSA: SHA-1 ECDSA: SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-512 |
Certificate thumbprint algorithm | SHA-1 |
*1 Requirements for the certificate contained in a key are pursuant to CA certificates. *2 SHA384-RSA and SHA512-RSA are available only when the RSA key length is 1024-bit or more. | |
Registration of Certificate Revocation Lists (CRL)
Up to 50 certificate revocation lists (CRL) can be registered. Note, however, that CRL cannot be registered in the following cases.
The data size of the CRL exceeds 1 MB.
An unsupported signature algorithm is being used.
The number of revoked certificates registered in one CRL file exceeds 10,000.
Definition of "Weak Encryption"
When [Prohibit Use of Weak Encryption] is selected, the use of the following algorithms is prohibited.
Hash: | MD4, MD5, SHA-1 |
HMAC: | HMAC-MD5 |
Common key cryptosystem: | RC2, RC4, DES |
Public key cryptosystem: | RSA encryption (512-bit/1024-bit), RSA signature (512-bit/1024-bit), DSA signature (512-bit/1024-bit), DH (512-bit/1024 bit) |
|
Even when [Prohibit Use of Key/Certificate with Weak Encryption] is selected, the hash algorithm SHA-1, which is used for signing a root certificate, can be used. |
FIPS 140-2 Standard Algorithm
When [Format Encryption Method to FIPS 140-2] is selected, the following algorithms are prohibited from use.
Hash: | MD4, MD5, SHA-1 (for a purpose other than TLS) |
Common key cryptosystem: | RC2, RC4, DES, PBE |
Public key cryptosystem: | RSA encryption (512-bit/1024-bit), RSA signature (512-bit/1024-bit), DSA signature (512-bit/1024-bit), DH (512-bit/1024-bit) |
