http/2.0 sslciphersuites with 256 bit alias crypto wars part six meeting HIPPA

Posted on by mario

The chosen SSL Config was very good! But for I client I had to meet the specs from PCI DSS[1], HIPAA[2] and NIST[3].
The server already was PCI DSS ready. However since there are medical data it had to meet HIPAA too.

It turned out that HIPAA does not allow the nice CHACHA20-POLY1305 ciphers and I had to enable SSLStaplingCache that I turned of when I used StartSSL Certs cause of the timeout / outage from the response server from start ssl.

Access Controller for Apache 2.2 and 2.4 in one. Migrate httpd Apache config

Posted on by mario

Even though Apache 2.4 is available for a long time. Switching config might be easy on the config files itself. But inside code it can be harder, since that code might has to work on both versions. Developers often use .htaccess files. That is not recommended for performance, but a quick easy way for testing and development.
One solution is to use a .htaccess file that supports both versions.

<IfVersion < 2.4>
    order allow,deny
    deny from all
</IfVersion>
<IfVersion >= 2.4>
    Require all denied
</IfVersion>

http/2.0 sslciphersuites with 256 bit alias crypto wars part five A+ at SSL Test

Posted on by mario

At Qualys SLL Test labs tests I never had 100% for Key Exchange. Even adding a 4096 Diffie Hellman key did not do the trick.

Now I found adding

SSLOpenSSLConfCmd ECDHParameters secp384r1

to the config from Part 4 does the trick!

Now I can have all your bars on Qualys SSL Test at 100% without having an insane config no client can connect to.

Office 365 get users last password change

Posted on by mario

This requires admin access to Azure / Office 365

Import-Module MSOnline

$login = Get-Credential
Connect-MsolService -Credential $login

Get-MSOLUser -All | Select DisplayName, UserPrincipalName, LastPasswordChangeTimestamp, PasswordNeverExpires | Sort-Object LastPasswordChangeTimestamp

Note You must have the PowerShell Azure Active Directory (MSOL) Cmdlets installed for this script to work.  You can download them here:

Fun with windows subsystem for linux Part 2

Posted on by mario

After upgrading Windows with the creators update I was able to do a sudo do-release-upgrade Now running xenial on windows subsystem for linux. Microsoft has improved a lot of things on bash on ubuntu on windows. I am now able to run PHP-cgi over mod_fcgid.

Maybe I should do a benchmarking to see how apache is performing compared to plain / native windows apache binaries.

Fun with windows subsystem for linux

Posted on by mario

After the install and the required reboot I was able to start bash. At first I was confused where to find the files from the home directory. It isn’t the one from windows itself.
Well I found it in AppData\Local\lxss . So each user has his / her own files.

Since I was able to find most stuff I wanted to know if I am able to compile httpd apache on it. I cloned https://github.com/jblond/debian_build_apache24.git and the build went smooth.
But apache didn’t start. Adding AcceptFilter http none and AcceptFilter https none helped. To get rid of the first error messages. But still apache wasn’t starting. Got the following error message.

[Tue Jan 24 22:31:33.590385 2017] [fcgid:emerg] [pid 1289:tid 140034843477824] (38)Function not implemented: mod_fcgid: Can't create shared memory for size 1200712 bytes

Okay, I disabled mod_fcgid and apache starts with /opt/apache2/bin/httpd -k start . Even running bash.exe ~ as Adminstrator did not solve to run fcgid.
I have to find out how to run mod_fcgid. I like to run PHP over fcgid.

To get rid of 128 bit encryption I had to disable

ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256

But then I got error messages from the popular browsers Server negotiated HTTP/2 with blacklisted suite. That is caused by DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA and ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA

With a lof of trial and error I came to the following

Listen 443
<If "%{SERVER_PORT} == '443'">
    <IfModule mod_headers.c>
        Header always set Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=15553000; preload"

</If>

However that has the negative effect that Android smaller than 7 and smaller than IE 11 can’t connect to the server. Also some older Firefox versions can’t connect. Depending on the application it might be worth to use such a config that doesn’t allow 128 bit encrypted connections.

How to change the timzone of all mailboxes / accounts in AzureAD

Posted on by mario

How to change the timzone of all mailboxes / accounts in AzureAD

run PowerShell as Adminsitrator (use this window for all steps)
1) Allow remote signed Scripts

Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned

2) Log into AzureAD with an Adminsitrator account

$session = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri "https://outlook.office365.com/powershell-liveid/" -Credential $cred -Authentication Basic -AllowRedirection

3) Import remote commands (ignore warnings)

Import-PSSession $session

4) get all mail boxes

get-mailbox

5) Set the timezone ( you could set the language, too)

example
get-mailbox | Set-MailboxRegionalConfiguration -Language  -TimeZone

In the Example below we will set all mailboxes in our Office 365 Tenant to the Language English (UK) and the GMT Time Zone.

get-mailbox | Set-MailboxRegionalConfiguration -Language 2057 -TimeZone "GMT Standard Time"

Get only the aliases with

select -expand emailaddresses alias

Final To German Timezone

get-mailbox | select -expand Alias | Set-MailboxRegionalConfiguration -TimeZone "W. Europe Standard Time"

Get-User | Get-Mailbox
