Active Directory Database protection page

This page displays when you select Active Directory Database from the Protection task list in the navigation pane of the Administration Tasks tab. From here, you can start the Active Directory Database protection wizard to define your Active Directory Database protection template to protect your Active Directory database from unauthorized access. You can also edit existing templates, disable and enable templates, and remove templates that are no longer being used.

The Active Directory Database protection page contains an expandable view of all previously defined Active Directory Database protection templates. To add new template, use the Add button.

* 
NOTE: Authorization to use the administration tasks on the Administrations Tasks tab is defined using the Application User Interface page under the Configuration task list. If you are denied access to the tasks on this page, see the Change Auditor User Guide for more information about how to gain access.

Once added, the following information is provided for each template:

Template

Displays the name assigned to the template when it was created.

Status

Indicates whether the template is enabled or disabled. To enable and disable the template, place your cursor in this Status cell, click the arrow control and select the appropriate option from the drop-down menu.

Exempt Process Filter

Setting extra security on protected objects

Previous Next

Setting extra security on protected objects

* 
NOTE: The Security feature is only available if you have selected to save your Active Directory and Group Policy protection templates in Active Directory instead of SQL (using the Protection tab in the Coordinator Configuration tool). See the Change Auditor User Guide or online help for more information about the Coordinator Configuration tool.

By default, Change Auditor settings are accessible by all domain administrators. In some environments, there are many individuals assigned domain administrator privileges. You can use the Security feature to provide an extra layer of security for your protected objects. You can delegate the right to manage protected objects to trusted administrators, limiting the number of administrators that can change settings.

When you change the security settings on a protected object through the Active Directory Protection page (or Group Policy Protection page) in Change Auditor, you are not changing the permissions assigned to the object. You are changing the access rights on who can change the Change Auditor settings.

If you do not want to use the default global catalog to apply the ACLs to the protected object, click Connect To and enter the domain controller to use.

To set extra security on a protection template:
1
On the Active Directory Protection page (or Group Policy Protection page), right-click the protection template and click Security.

The Access Control editor is displayed for the selected object.

2
Select the permissions then click OK.
* 
NOTE: Selecting access rights is similar to selecting access rights in Active Directory Users and Computers.

Each entry for the objects listed in the Protection template has it's individual security settings.

To set individual settings:
1
On the Active Directory Protection page (or Group Policy Protection page), click the + icon next to the protection template.
2
Right-click the entry in the template that want to set the security on and select Security.
3
Select the permissions and click OK.
* 
NOTE: Selecting access rights is similar to selecting access rights in Active Directory Users and Computers.
