New-FasRule

SYNOPSIS

Create a Rule object (a named configuration of the Federated Authentication Service).

SYNTAX

New-FasRule -Name <String> -CertificateDefinitions <String[]> -StoreFrontAcl <String> [-UserAcl <String>]
 [-VdaAcl <String>] [-DelegatedAdministrationAcl <String>] [-Address <String>] [-UserName <String>]
 [-Password <String>] [<CommonParameters>]

DESCRIPTION

Create a named rule that controls which trusted StoreFront servers can assert logon identities.

Normally to log in to a Windows computer the Active Directory Domain Controllers require that “primary credentials” be present - that is a password, or a smartcard, etc. A rule configuration on the Federated Authentication Service allows trusted servers to “assert” user identities without knowledge of primary credentials. The configuration options are: - The name of the Rule. Usually there will be at least one rule named “default”, but further, independent rules can be configured. - A reference to the certificate definitions used to issue Virtual Smart Card certificates when user identities are asserted. Note that only Certificate Definitions marked “InSession” can be used after the logon stage. - A reference to the Virtual Smart Card to use for log on. By default this is the first in the list of Certificate Definitions. - A list of Windows Accounts that are trusted to assert identities for this Rule. For security reasons, this must be chosen very carefully - usually it will be the explicit machine accounts of your StoreFront servers. - A list of Windows User Accounts that can be asserted. Usually this will be restricted to a security group. For example “ExternalCitrixUserGroup” - A list of VDA Windows Machine Accounts that can act as relying parties to log users in. For example, “CitrixVdaMachines” - A list of administrators who have can modify (but not create or delete) the rule.

EXAMPLES

EXAMPLE 1

PS C:\>

C:\PS> $CitrixFasAddress=(Get-FasServer)[0].Address
C:\PS> $CertificateDefinition=(Get-FasCertificateDefinition)[0].name
C:\PS> New-FasRule -Name "default" -CertificateDefinitions @($CertificateDefinition) -StoreFrontAcl "O:BAG:DUD:P(A;OICI;CC;;;DD)"

Description


This code creates a rule named “default” allowing Domain Controllers to assert identities by issuing certificates based on the first installed Certificate Definition.

Note: this is just an example; ordinarily you would grant permission to your StoreFront servers.
