Hi guys,

Microsoft Windows Server 2003 SP2. Via the cluster console a shared folder
was created.

The EVERYONE well-known sec prin was granted full control at the share ACL.
Same at the NTFS ACL.

Using the "virtual" ClusterName resource, all standard domain user accounts
can read/write the share no problem.

Using the "virtual" ClusterName resource, the LOCAL SYSTEM account from a
domain member computer *cannot* read or write the share.

Using the real nodename of the active node, the LOCAL SYSTEM account from a
domain member computer can read/write the share no problem.

I tried "domain computers" full control on both ACLs....no change.

Has anyone seen this before? Client system is XP SP3.

In a nutshell - I would like for LOCAL SYSTEM account from domain member
computers to be able to write files/append data to a share which is managed
via a cluster! I feel as if I must be missing something very simple here
:-(

Thanks,
DaveC

Hi David,

Someone else might be able to answer this more articulatly than me but here
goes...Local System is excactly that - it provides only local access and
when attempting to authenticate it is not able to provide
suitable credentials.

If you have a service that is running under local system and that
service requires access to the share then starting it under "Network
Service" should do the job.

Regards,
Alastair.

I would agree with Alastair.

Depends on what kind of data/access controls you need but I would suggest
considering the following;

1. For data that does not require access controls consider using null
session shares on the hosting servers. That way unauthenticated computers
(or any other account for that matter) will be able to connect and read the
shares.

2. For a more secure approach provide permissions to the share/ACL for
designated computer accounts. If there are many computers that need access
then create a group, issue the permission to the group and add the computers
to the group.

Thanks Alastair/Mike. I'm going to respectfully disagree :-)

Take computer startup as an example. Local System reads SYSVOL all the
time in that instance (of course SYSVOL is not on a clustered resource).
And remember, this works fine for me, but only when specifying the true
nodename of the active server in the cluster (not desirable). I'm just
wondering what goes wrong when I specify the ClusterName. I might take a
trace later to see if anything obvious jumps out. Also later I will try to
add an explicit ACE for the computer object itself (per Mike), as I have not
tried that yet. (not in the office right now)

Thanks,
DaveC

I'm sorry...I may be missing something, but is this a group policy question? Not to be a "stickler" or anything, but this is a Group Policy list.

Hi Shane...only in the sense that I'm asking this under the context of a
startup script (which runs via Local System). Sorry I didn't explicitly
state that. Also I did put [OT] in the subject. I appreciate your

I think he means off topic, as used in many forums...

Although personally I'd say an offtopic question would probably fit better in a mailinglist about the subject... but rather don't think it's so offtopic...

Thanks Alastair/Mike. I'm going to respectfully disagree :-)



Take computer startup as an example. Local System reads SYSVOL all the time in that instance (of course SYSVOL is not on a clustered resource). And remember, this works fine for me, but only when specifying the true nodename of the active server in the cluster (not desirable). I'm just wondering what goes wrong when I specify the ClusterName. I might take a trace later to see if anything obvious jumps out. Also later I will try to add an explicit ACE for the computer object itself (per Mike), as I have not tried that yet. (not in the office right now)



Thanks,

DaveC

Depends on what kind of data/access controls you need but I would suggest considering the following;



1. For data that does not require access controls consider using null session shares on the hosting servers. That way unauthenticated computers (or any other account for that matter) will be able to connect and read the shares.



2. For a more secure approach provide permissions to the share/ACL for designated computer accounts. If there are many computers that need access then create a group, issue the permission to the group and add the computers to the group.

Hi David,



Someone else might be able to answer this more articulatly than me but here goes...Local System is excactly that - it provides only local access and when attempting to authenticate it is not able to provide suitable credentials.



If you have a service that is running under local system and that service requires access to the share then starting it under "Network Service" should do the job.

Darren, you're right. However, if Kerberos authentication wasn't configured on the cluster, there is no computer object in AD. I think that is what his problem is.

In a nutshell - I would like for LOCAL SYSTEM account from domain member computers to be able to write files/append data to a share which is managed via a cluster, by using the virtual ClusterName (or any virtual name we give it). I feel as if I must be missing something very simple here :-(

Darren, you’re right. However, if Kerberos authentication wasn’t configured
on the cluster, there is no computer object in AD. I think that is what his
problem is.

Sorry to join this late but LocalSystem represents the AD computer account.
As such it does have access to network resources as long as the computer
account has such access.

Thanks Alastair/Mike. I'm going to respectfully disagree :-)



Take computer startup as an example. Local System reads SYSVOL all the
time in that instance (of course SYSVOL is not on a clustered resource).
And remember, this works fine for me, but only when specifying the true
nodename of the active server in the cluster (not desirable). I'm just
wondering what goes wrong when I specify the ClusterName. I might take a
trace later to see if anything obvious jumps out. Also later I will try to
add an explicit ACE for the computer object itself (per Mike), as I have not
tried that yet. (not in the office right now)



Thanks,

Depends on what kind of data/access controls you need but I would suggest
considering the following;



1. For data that does not require access controls consider using null
session shares on the hosting servers. That way unauthenticated computers
(or any other account for that matter) will be able to connect and read the
shares.



2. For a more secure approach provide permissions to the share/ACL for
designated computer accounts. If there are many computers that need access
then create a group, issue the permission to the group and add the computers
to the group.

Hi David,



Someone else might be able to answer this more articulatly than me but here
goes...Local System is excactly that - it provides only local access and
when attempting to authenticate it is not able to provide suitable
credentials.



If you have a service that is running under local system and that service
requires access to the share then starting it under "Network Service" should
do the job.



Regards,

Alastair.

In fact if I just start by trying to list the folder contents using the IP

all. Any thoughts why not? Note this could be a very simple answer and

Yes, please let us know. Even though it is a bit off topic I think it is good knowledge for folks on the list because these questions about authentication with the SYSTEM account come up pretty frequently around Software Distribution.

Darren, you're right. However, if Kerberos authentication wasn't configured on the cluster, there is no computer object in AD. I think that is what his problem is.

Sorry to join this late but LocalSystem represents the AD computer account. As such it does have access to network resources as long as the computer account has such access.

Sounds like a Kerberos issue. Do you have a "virtual" computer object in Active Directory?

Error! Filename not specified.

I think he means off topic, as used in many forums...



Although personally I'd say an offtopic question would probably fit better in a mailinglist about the subject... but rather don't think it's so offtopic...

Thanks Alastair/Mike. I'm going to respectfully disagree :-)



Take computer startup as an example. Local System reads SYSVOL all the time in that instance (of course SYSVOL is not on a clustered resource). And remember, this works fine for me, but only when specifying the true nodename of the active server in the cluster (not desirable). I'm just wondering what goes wrong when I specify the ClusterName. I might take a trace later to see if anything obvious jumps out. Also later I will try to add an explicit ACE for the computer object itself (per Mike), as I have not tried that yet. (not in the office right now)

Depends on what kind of data/access controls you need but I would suggest considering the following;



1. For data that does not require access controls consider using null session shares on the hosting servers. That way unauthenticated computers (or any other account for that matter) will be able to connect and read the shares.



2. For a more secure approach provide permissions to the share/ACL for designated computer accounts. If there are many computers that need access then create a group, issue the permission to the group and add the computers to the group.

Hi David,



Someone else might be able to answer this more articulatly than me but here goes...Local System is excactly that - it provides only local access and when attempting to authenticate it is not able to provide suitable credentials.



If you have a service that is running under local system and that service requires access to the share then starting it under "Network Service" should do the job.



Regards,

Alastair.

Rephrase of the "nutshell" comment.



In a nutshell - I would like for LOCAL SYSTEM account from domain member computers to be able to write files/append data to a share which is managed via a cluster, by using the virtual ClusterName (or any virtual name we give it). I feel as if I must be missing something very simple here :-(

Hi guys,



Microsoft Windows Server 2003 SP2. Via the cluster console a shared folder was created.



The EVERYONE well-known sec prin was granted full control at the share ACL. Same at the NTFS ACL.



Using the "virtual" ClusterName resource, all standard domain user accounts can read/write the share no problem.



Using the "virtual" ClusterName resource, the LOCAL SYSTEM account from a domain member computer cannot read or write the share.



Using the real nodename of the active node, the LOCAL SYSTEM account from a domain member computer can read/write the share no problem.



I tried "domain computers" full control on both ACLs....no change.



Has anyone seen this before? Client system is XP SP3.

What was I thinking of there this morning? I’ll not make excuses but perhaps
some flashback to the old days? It’s exactly this functionality that is
exploited by conficker and the like.

Although at the risk of further shame…I’ll stand by the comment that local
system is exactly that, but when in a domain it contains the SID of the
computer account and isn’t it true therefore we don’t present credentials in
this case but use a null session? That is how I am interpreting the section
on this in the new edition of “Windows Internals” that landed on my doorstep
this week.

So what we know in this case is that Kerberos authentication is successfully
happening for the physical nodes but not for the cluster resource. We now
know why Kerberos is failing for the cluster resource.

So why is NTLM failing for the physical servers?

I’ve just done similar in a test environment consisting of an XP client and
a share on a 2003 R2 DC and the behaviour is the same :
In a cmd window running under local system :
dir \\servername\sharename <file://servername/sharename> = works (via
kerberos authentication)
dir \\ipaddress\sharename <file://ipaddress/sharename> = access denied
(using an IP address forces NTLM and we’re using a null session)

Configuring “Restrict anonymous access to Named Pipes and Shares” to be
disabled (to allow NullSessionShares) results in “dir
\\ipaddress\sharename<file://ipaddress/sharename>”
working. But you’d almost certainly not want to do that. The earlier
suggestion from Mike regarding explicitly granting access to the computer
account (by group if required) would also solve this I believe.

It’s a learning experience!
Regards,
Alastair.

HI all,

Thanks Alastair! Indeed I can also confirm that enabling Kerberos
authentication on any clustername resource definitely allows for Local
System to read (or write) the shared folder(s) on the cluster. Trace
confirms SPN is found and therefore a ticket is granted, etc...

As for NTLM....grr...very frustrated now as to why this doesn't work (yet).
I don't even know why I care so much EXCEPT for the fact that like Jamie
said earlier many people who establish a cluster with virtual servers and
shared folder resources might not realize that Local System credentials fail
under the default NTLM, regardless of the ACLs they configure. This could
explain for prior postings on the subject. Obviously enabling Kerberos
is the simple fix.

But again I have to think back to non-clustered folder shares which Local
System *is* able to access just fine as long as "authenticated users" or
"domain computers" (or the computer object itself) have permission. I admit
I have not tried mucking with the RestrictAnonymous settings yet, but I did
explicitly grant the computer object itself access to the clustered shared
folder and got nothing for it :-(

Alastair, when you changed the RestrictAnonymous setting and then tested -
did you :

a) Use the IP address for the Virtual Server? (or physical node)
b) Also try using the ClusterName (or VirtualServer name) ?

I'd be very curious to know if this is some sort of problem with the cluster
service itself or else something I don't fully understand about NTLM.

I posted this question in Microsoft.Public.Security but if anyone has a
suggestion of a better spot please let me know.

Thanks again!
