Change Auditor 7.3 - PowerShell User Guide

Managing client authentication options

Change Auditor has two authentication method:

These commands allow you to manage the authentication used in your Change Auditor deployment.

Use this command to view the authentication profile Change Auditor coordinators use in a particular installation.

Returns: An object containing the options for authentication for the specified installation.

-Connection

A connection obtained by using the Connect-CAClient command.

-InstallationName (Optional)

The installation name to connect to. If an installation cannot be found with this name, no connection is made.

If more than one Change Auditor installation exists in the current forest, this parameter is mandatory. Omitting it results in a connection failure due to ambiguity.

-DomainName (Optional)

The name of the domain where the Change Auditor installation exists.

Get-CAAuthenticationOptions –InstallationName ‘DEFAULT’ –DomainName ‘DomainName.com’

Get-CAAuthenticationOptions -Connection $connection

Use this command to alter the authentication profile the Change Auditor coordinators use in a particular installation.

Returns: An object containing the options for authentication for the specified installation.

-Connection

A connection obtained by using the Connect-CAClient command.

-AlwaysChallengeForCredential (Optional)

 

When specified, instructs the coordinator to disallow any connection that is not accompanied by credentials. For PowerShell clients, this means that the Connect-CAClient command will not connect without the use of the
-Credential parameter.

-AllowActiveDirectoryCertificateAuthentication (Optional)

 

When specified, instructs the coordinator to allow certificate authentication via a web client. This switch has no meaning for the Win32 client.

-AllowWindowsFormsAuthentication (Optional)

 

When specified, instructs the coordinator to accept default username/password style of credentials.

-AuthenticationOptions (Optional)

 

 

This parameter allows the caller to pass directly the result of the Get-CAAuthenticationOptions without having to break down the options into their constituent flag values.

Set-CAAuthenticationOptions -Connection $connection -AlwaysChallengeForCredential
-AllowActiveDirectoryCertificateAuthentication -AllowWindowsFormsAuthentication

Set-CAAuthenticationOptions -Connection $connection -AuthenticationOptions $AuthenticationOptions

Gathering Change Auditor system information

You can gather Change Auditor system information to help you to manage your installation components.

Use this command to retrieve coordinator-specific (as opposed to installation-wide) status information from the connected coordinator such as coordinator name, status, deployment name, version, connected agents, connected legacy agents, connected clients, client port, total events, and buffered events which may be different on each coordinator.

$creds = Get-Credential

$connection = Connect-CAClient -Credential $creds

Get-CACoordinator -Connection $connection

Use this command to gather information about all the coordinators in a Change Auditor installation.

Get-CACoordinators -Connection $connection

$creds = Get-Credential

$connection = Connect-CAClient -Credential $creds

Get-CACoordinators -Connection $connection

Use this command to retrieve installation-specific (as opposed to coordinator-specific) status information including the name of the installation, database server, and database and the database size.
