Most Microsoft-based Hybrid Identity implementations use Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) Servers, Web Application Proxies and Azure AD Connect installations. In this series, labeled Hardening Hybrid Identity, we're looking at hardening these implementations, using recommended practices.
Note:
This blogpost assumes all Web Application Proxies, AD FS servers and Azure AD Connect installations run Windows Server 2016.
Hardening provides additional layers to defense in depth approaches. It changes the default behavior of products and services to make them more resilient to unauthorized changes and compromise.
Reasons why
Protocols, cipher suites and hashing algorithms are used to encrypt communications in every Hybrid Identity implementation. Typically, ciphers and algorithms to use are based on a negotiation between both ends of a communications channel. The purpose is to use the most secure protocols, cipher suites and hashing algorithms that both ends support. To use the strongest ciphers and algorithms it's important to disable the ciphers and algorithms you no longer want to see used.
Microsoft recommends organizations to use strong protocols, cipher suites and hashing algorithms. For Azure Active Directory, they are changing the negotiation settings on their systems regularly, to avoid downgrades in encryption standards.
Possible negative impact (What could go wrong?)
When the systems of an Hybrid Identity implementation are improperly hardened, there will be no communication between Azure Active Directory and the systems of the implementation, and/or between the systems of the Hybrid Identity implementation.
This may affect authentications directly when using Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) or Pass-through Authentication as authentication method in the Hybrid Identity implementation. This may cause diminished functionality, when Password Hash Sync (PHS) is used as the authentication method. Also, this may cause certificates to expire, monitoring to halt and/or backups to fail. It may also mean admins will no longer be able to (remotely) manage the systems.
When using the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) to manage the Windows Server installations of the Hybrid Identity implementation, the default security layer in RDP is set to Negotiate which supports both SSL (TLS 1.0) and the RDP Security Layer. Open Remote Desktop Session Host Configuration in Administrative Tools and double-click RDP-Tcp under the Connections group. If it is set to SSL (TLS 1.0) and you are running Windows Server 2008, make sure that you have installed TLS 1.1 and 1.2 support.
For Hybrid Identity implementations featuring Azure AD Connect's Seamless Single Sign-on (3SO), do not disable RC4_HMAC_MD5 at this time, as this may break.
To disable weak protocols, cipher suites and hashing algorithms on Web Application Proxies, AD FS Servers and Windows Servers running Azure AD Connect, make sure to meet the following requirements: Senuti 1 3 4.
System requirements
Make sure all systems in scope are installed with the latest cumulative Windows Updates. Also make sure you run the latest stable version of Azure AD Connect.
Privilege requirements
Make sure to sign in with an account that has privileges to create and/or change and link Group Policy objects to the Organizational Unit (OU) in which the systems in scope reside.
Who to communicate to
When intending to make changes to systems in the Hybrid Identity implementation, make sure to send a heads-up to these people and/or teams in your organization:
- Load balancers and networking guys and gals
- The Active Directory team
- The people responsible for backups, restores and disaster recovery
- The people going through the logs, using a SIEM and/or a TSCM solution
- The monitoring team
One of the challenges you can easily avoid through communications is that multiple persons and/or teams make changes to the configuration. When it breaks, you don't want to roll-back a bunch of changes, just the one that broke it. Make sure you have the proper freeze/unfreeze moments to achieve that.
Encryption methods are comprised of:
- A protocol, like PCT, SSL and TLS
- A key exchange method, like ECDHE, DHE and RSA
- A cipher suite, like AES, MD5, RC4 and 3DES
Protocols
For the purpose of this blogpost, I'll stick to disabling the following protocols:
- PCT v1.0
- SSL v2
- SSL v3
- TLS v1.0
- TLS v1.1
Note:
PCT v1.0 is disabled by default on Windows Server Operating Systems.
SSL v2 is disabled, by default, in Windows Server 2016, and later versions of Windows Server.
Cipher suites and hashing algorithms
For the purpose of this blogpost, I'll stick to disabling the following ciphers suites and hashing algorithms:
- RC2
- RC4
- MD5
- 3DES
- DES
- NULL
- All cipher suites marked as EXPORT
Note:
NULL cipher suites provide no encryption.
Note:
The above list is a snapshot of weak ciphers and algorithms dating July 2019. Please consult the SSL Labs Documentation for actual guidance on weak ciphers and algorithms to disable for your organization.
For the purpose of this blogpost, I'll stick with the following protocols, cipher suites and hashing algorithms, in the following negotiation order:
- TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256
- TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384
- TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA
- TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA
- TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256
- TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA384
- TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256
- TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384
- TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA
- TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA
- TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256
- TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA384
- TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256
- TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384
- TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA
- TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA
- TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256
- TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA256
This list provides a preference to Perfect Forwarding Secrecy (PFS) with the elliptic curve Diffie-Hellman key exchange (ECDHE_*) cipher suites.
As the systems in scope may or may not be of Active Directory Domain Services, may or may not run Server Core and may or may not allow downloading 3rd party tools, but in all cases you can disable weak protocols using Windows PowerShell with the following scripts:
Note:
As SSL v2 is disabled and removed from Windows Server 2016, and up, and SSL v3 is disabled by default in Windows Server 2016, and up, these protocols do not need to be disabled on Windows Server 2016, and newer versions of Windows Server.
Enable TLS 1.2
To enable TLS 1.2, run the following Windows PowerShell script in an elevated PowerShell window on each of the Windows Server installations in scope of the Hybrid Identity implementation:
Note:
The DisabledByDefault registry value doesn't mean that the protocol is disabled by default. It means the protocol isn't advertised as available by default during negotiations, but is available if specifically requested.

Configuring .Net applications to use TLS 1.1 and TLS 1.2
Now, we need to configure .Net applications to use either TLS 1.1 or TLS 1.2. This is important for built-in Windows functionality and 3rd party applications and services. Run the following Windows PowerShell script in the same elevated PowerShell window as the previous one:
$RegPath1='HKLM:SOFTWAREWOW6432NodeMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv4.0.30319'

Disable TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1
To disable TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1, run the following Windows PowerShell script in the same elevated PowerShell window as the previous Windows PowerShell script on each of the Windows Server installations in scope of the Hybrid Identity implementation:
New-Item$SChannelRegPath-Name 'TLS 1.0'
New-Item$SChannelRegPath'TLS 1.0'-NameSERVER
New-ItemProperty -Path $SChannelRegPath'TLS 1.0SERVER'`

-NameEnabled-Value 0 -PropertyTypeDWORD
New-ItemProperty -Path $SChannelRegPath'TLS 1.1Client' `
-NameDisabledByDefault-Value0-PropertyTypeDWORD
Restart each server after these configuration changes.
The systems in scope may or may not be of Active Directory Domain Services, may or may not run Server Core and may or may not allow downloading 3rd party tools. In all cases you can disable weak cipher suites and hashing algorithms by disabling individual TLS cipher suites using Windows PowerShell.
Note:
The below lines of PowerShell do not change the negotiation order of the cipher suites and hashing algorithms. It merely disables individual combinations of unwanted cipher suites and hashing algorithms. This also eliminates the need to keep up with the cipher suites in Windows Server between Windows Server version releases and even between updates.
A win-win situation if you'd ask me!
Tip!

After hardening it's time to test the hardening. Everyone should sign off (not literally, unless that's procedure) on the correct working of the Windows Servers running Azure AD Connect. Does authentication to cloud applications still work? Does rolling over the certificate still work? Does monitoring still work? Can we still make back-ups? Can we still restore the backups we make?
Typically, hardening is rolled out to one Windows Server. When testing the hardening of the functionality behind the load balancer, make sure that the load balancer points you to the hardened system, not another one. In an environment with a Staging Mode Azure AD Connect installation, the hardening can be performed on this Windows Server installation and tested with the normal Staging Mode (imports only) synchronization cycles. When hardening is approved upon, the actively synchronizing Azure AD Connect installation can be switched, or hardened, too.
Note:
The registry changes are step 2 of two steps to harden protocols, cipher suites and hashing algorithms of the Hybrid Identity implementation. Make sure to Enforce Azure AD Connect to use TLS 1.2 only on the Windows Servers running Azure AD Connect, before testing.
