Configure Active Directory Connector Connection Agreements
by Daniel Petri - January 7, 2009
How do I configure Active Directory Connector Connection Agreements (CA)?
Daniel Petri's Exchange Server Recommendations
There are several new features included within Exchange Server 2007, which some of my articles touch on briefly. However, if you are looking for training that takes you from installation to integration with Outlook and management of Exchange Server 2007 then you need Train Signal's training videos. The Exchange Server 2007 training videos are taught by Microsoft MVP and MCSE, David Shackelford, who teaches with a "Hands-on" approach. Daniel Petri
You can see the Exchange Server 2007 training with video instruction here.
MSKB 296260 has the following information:
In most ADC deployments, your configuration falls under one of the following scenarios; before you configure Connection Agreements (CA), determine which scenario applies to your situation:
· First scenario. The Exchange Server 5.5 mailboxes are associated with accounts in a Windows 2000 Active Directory domain.
· Second scenario. The Exchange Server 5.5 mailboxes are associated with accounts that are located in a Windows NT 4.0 domain, even though a new Windows 2000 Active Directory domain has been created.
In both scenarios, you need to install the ADC. To install the ADC follow this article: Active Directory Connector Installation
First Scenario
To configure the two-way user Connection Agreement:
1. On the Start menu, point to Programs, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Active Directory Connector Management.
2. Right-click Active Directory Connector, point to New, and then click Connection Agreement.
3. Click the General tab, and then:
a. Type the name of the Connection Agreement in the Name box.
b. Under Replication Direction, click Two-way.
c. When you receive the following message, click OK:
The connection agreement must now write to the Exchange directory.
d. Click the Active Directory Connector server that you want to use.
Note: If this is the first installation, there is only be one server available.
4. Click the Connections tab, and then:
a. Under Windows Server Information:
I. Make sure that:
§ The Server box contains the name of your Windows 2000-based server.
§ The Authentication box defaults to "Windows Challenge/Response".
§ The account that you are using has write permissions to the directory because the agreement is a two-way agreement, and read and write permissions are necessary.
II. Under Connect as, click Modify, and then select an Administrative account that has write permissions to Active Directory.
b. Under Exchange Server Information:
I. Make sure that:
§ The Server box contains the name of your Exchange Server 5.5 computer.
§ The Authentication box defaults to "Windows Challenge/Response".
§ The account that you are using has at least Admin permissions to the directory because the agreement is a two-way agreement, and read and write permissions are necessary.
§ The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) port on the Exchange Server 5.5 directory is correct (by default, this port is 389).
II. In the Connect as list, click Modify, and then select an account that has Admin privileges in the Exchange Server 5.5 directory.
5. Click the Schedule tab, and then set the Replication time to Always.
Note: The ADC automatically replicates all of the objects during the first replication cycle; therefore, if you select the Replicate the entire directory the next time the agreement is run check box, you do not affect the first replication cycle.
6. Click the From Exchange tab, and then:
a. Under Exchange Recipients containers, click Add, and then add each top-level Recipients container from your Exchange Server 5.5 site.
Important: Do not add any containers from other sites. If you use multiple sites, you need to set up additional two-way connection agreements to servers in each of the other sites.
b. Under Default destination, click Modify, and then click the Users container.
Note: This is the default container in which the ADC will create new objects if the ADC cannot match the Exchange Server 5.5 object to an existing Active Directory object. If user accounts exist in different organizational units, see the IMPORTANT note in step 6.c.
c. Make sure that all of the objects under Select the objects that you want to replicate are selected (all of the objects are selected by default).
Important: The ADC replicates all of the Exchange Server distribution lists (DLs) to Active Directory as Universal Distribution Groups (UDGs). You can create these UDGs in either a mixed-mode or native-mode Active Directory domain. However, if you use the equivalent Exchange Server DL object to control access to public folders in Exchange Server, the Exchange 2000 information store process tries to convert the UDG to a Universal Security Groups (USG) because distribution groups are not security principals. If the UDG exists in a mixed-mode Active Directory domain, the USG conversion process does not succeed because USGs can only exist in native-mode domains. This results in a public folder in Exchange 2000 that has an ambiguous Access Control List (ACL); because of this, only the folder owner can access the folder's content, and other Exchange 2000 users cannot even see the public folder in the client hierarchy. When a UDG-to-USG conversion does not succeed, a 9552 event ID message is logged in the Exchange 2000 Application event log. In this scenario, you need a separate Recipient Connection Agreement to replicate the DLs to a native-mode domain.
d. Click the From Windows tab, and then:
I. Under Windows Organizational Units, click Add, and then add the Users container.
Important: If the Active Directory domain contains additional organizational units that contain users with Exchange mailboxes, you must specify these organizational units under Windows Organizational Units. If you do not specify the organizational units as export containers, the ADC cannot replicate the users back to the Exchange Server 5.5 directory.
II. Under Default destination box, click Modify, and then click the appropriate Recipients container.
III. Make sure that all of the objects under Select the objects that you want to replicate box are selected (all of the objects are selected by default).
IV. Click to select the Replicate secured Active Directory objects to the Exchange directory check box. Secured Active Directory objects are Active Directory objects that contain an explicit Deny Access Control Entry (ACE).
V. Determine whether or not you want to select the Create objects in location specified by Exchange 5.5 DN check box. If you select this check box, the ADC creates new objects in a location that is based on the Exchange Server 5.5 distinguished name (legacyExchangeDN). If the organizational units that you selected as export containers contain subcontainers, you can select this check box to prevent the ADC from creating these subcontainers in the Exchange Server 5.5 directory.
e. Click the Deletions tab.
f. You are now finished configuring the recipient Connection Agreement. To force replication, right-click the two-way agreement, and then click Replicate Now.
Second Scenario
This scenario describes how to create a two-way recipient Connection Agreement between an Exchange Server 5.5 computer that is running in a separate Windows NT 4.0 domain and a new Windows 2000 Active Directory domain. This scenario requires at least a one-way trust relationship in which Windows 2000 Active Directory trusts the Windows NT 4.0 domain. However, to ease administrative effort, a two-way trust relationship is recommended.
Important: if your migration strategy is to have users log on to your newly-created Active Directory, then you can run the ADMT before you create your two-way recipient Connection Agreement. If you run a domain migration tool that migrates SidHistory such as ADMT before you create your two-way recipient Connection Agreement, you do not have to run the ADClean Utility. ADMT settings allow the Administrator to create enabled users with which a valid 5.5 mailbox can match.
To create a two-way recipient Connection Agreement between an Exchange Server 5.5 computer that is running in a separate Windows NT 4.0 domain and a new Windows 2000 Active Directory domain:
1. Perform all of the steps in the "First Scenario" section of this article.
2. Start the Windows 2000 Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in, and then confirm that Exchange Server 5.5 users have been replicated as disabled users. Note that these objects are located in the default import container that is specified on the From Exchange tab of the Recipient Connection Agreement.
Important: Do not enable these disabled users. These accounts are only place holders for the Exchange Server 5.5 mailboxes; these accounts are not security principals, and are not meant to be logged on to.
3. Determine which one of the following methods you want to use to migrate your user accounts to Windows 2000 Active Directory:
· Upgrade the Windows NT 4.0 domain to Windows 2000.
· Use the Active Directory Migration Tool (ADMT) to migrate users, including SidHistory.
· Use a third-party migration utility that supports SidHistory migration.
4. After you migrate the users to Windows 2000 Active Directory, you can run the Active Directory Cleanup Wizard (ADClean) to merge the mail attributes from the ADC-created place holder accounts with your newly migrated users.

What is 'Extended Validation'? (top)
'Extended Validation' refers to rigorous, industry standard validation methods to be used by a CA before issuing an SSL certificates.
The guidelines for Extended Validation are published by the CA/Browser Forum here.
What is an Extended Validation (EV) SSL Certificate? (top)
An Extended Validation (EV) SSL Server Certificate is a new category of SSL certificate created by an industry consortium called the CA/Browser forum. This new category of certificate was conceived in response to the growing threat of phishing attacks with a goal of increasing consumer confidence in online transactions.
EV certificates will be issued to websites only after rigorous validation of their identity. Web browsers will reflect this higher level of identity assurance with prominent and distinct trust indicators, such as the green address bar in Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox, and advanced green indicators in the latest versions of Opera and Google Chrome.
What is the CA/Browser Forum? (top)
The CA/Browser Forum is a group of Certification Authority service providers, web browser manufacturers, and other industry participants that came together to look at ways to reduce the threat of phishing.
Entrust chairs this group and strongly supports its work. More information can be found at the CA/Browser Forum website.
Which browsers support Entrust EV SSL Certificates? (top)
The majority of browsers in use today display green trust indicators for EV. Some of the major browsers supporting EV are Internet Explorer (version 7 and above), Mozilla Firefox version 3, Opera version 8, Safari version 3.2, Google Chrome and Flock version 2.
How will Entrust EV SSL Certificates increase consumer confidence? (top)
With numerous malicious phishing incidents and online fraud, consumers are concerned with identity theft and would like reassurance that the site they are entering their personal data into can be trusted. If consumers feel the site is not trusted and their personal information is unencrypted, they will leave the site and take their transactions to another vendor.
Entrust EV SSL Certificates will help increase consumer confidence by displaying prominent and consistent trust indicators while consumers are conducting online transactions. Now the lock is now at the top of the browser window instead of the bottom and if a website has an Entrust EV SSL Certificate installed, the address bar color will display green and will display the identity of the site and the name of the certificate authority to let the consumer know they can shop with confidence.
What can I do to secure my site and increase consumer confidence today? (top)
Current website security best practices are still valid - Extended Validation does not change that. Some things to consider while you're waiting for EV SSL certificates to be available:
Are you displaying your Entrust site seal on protected pages?
How are you authenticating your users?
How are you monitoring for fraud?
What access control mechanisms do you have in place?
Who can purchase an Entrust EV SSL Certificate? (top)
A broad range of business entities are now eligible for EV certificates:
Private Organization: A non-governmental legal entity (whether ownership interests are privately held or publicly traded) whose existence was created by a filing with (or an act of) the Incorporating Agency in its Jurisdiction of Incorporation.
Government Entity: A government-operated legal entity, agency, department, ministry, or similar element of the government of a country, or political subdivision within such country (such as a state, province, city, county, etc).
Business Entity: Any entity that is neither a Private Organization nor a Government Entity. Examples include general partnerships, unincorporated associations and sole proprietorships.
How can I buy an Entrust EV SSL Certificate? (top)
Entrust EV SSL Certificates will be available first for purchase through Entrust Certificate Services website at www.entrust.net, and at a later date through our Enhanced interface for customers managing larger pools of certificates.
Can I upgrade my existing Entrust SSL Certificates to the new Entrust EV SSL Certificates? (top)
Yes.
Please note that customers taking advantage of these promotions will need to be validated under the new EV guidelines before certs can be issued.
What is the maximum lifetime for an Entrust EV SSL Certificate? (top)
Entrust EV SSL Certificates have a maximum of lifetime of 2 years (24 months).
How will Entrust EV SSL Certificates be different from the current Entrust SSL Certificates? (top)
The primary difference will be in what happens before the Entrust EV SSL Certificates are even issued. Before issuing any Entrust SSL Certificate, Entrust performs checks to 'vet' or validate the identity of the requestor.
Under the new EV model, validation of an entity (e.g. a company or web site operator) requesting an Entrust EV SSL Certificate will be performed using industry standard guidelines, as defined by the CA/Browser Forum. This is different from current practices in that different Certification Authorities have very different validation standards. Although the majority of Certification Authorities have rigorous validation practices, not all do and this undermines the overall security of SSL for consumer transactions.
Certificates issued using 'Extended Validation' will include a reference to an EV-specific certificate policy. Each Certification Authority will have a unique policy and Policy Object Identifier (OID). Browsers supporting EV will behave differently when they encounter a certificate issued under an EV policy OID that they recognize.
Note that at a technical level, Entrust EV SSL Certificates will not be different from standard X.509 certificates and will be backwards compatible with older browsers. Entrust EV SSL Certificates will include more information on the subject (the entity the certificate was issued to) - including jurisdiction of incorporation.
Are my existing Entrust SSL Certificates still sufficient for securing online transactions? (top)
From a cryptographic perspective, yes your current Entrust SSL Certificates are still going to result in encrypted SSL sessions.
However, the greatest threat to online transactions is not cryptographic in nature - it is phishing. Phishing preys on consumer's inability to discern between trustworthy sites and imposter sites.
The EV initiative is targeted at making it easier for consumers to make that distinction. From a usability perspective, non-EV certificates will have decreasing effectiveness as consumers adopt the new browsers and come to expect the strong trust indicators provided by Entrust EV SSL Certificates while conducting transactions.
Should I switch to Entrust EV SSL Certificates? (top)
If you are operating a website that conducts ecommerce transactions or if you collect sensitive or private information you should be considering switching to Entrust EV SSL Certificates.
Phishing attacks are a real threat to the trust consumers have placed on the internet and Entrust EV SSL Certificates can only be part of the solution if they are deployed and used widely.
How will older browsers without EV support behave on sites with Entrust EV SSL Certificates? (top)
Browsers without EV support will continue to behave as they do today. As long as the certificate was issued by a CA trusted by the browser, the lock will close as expected.
In most cases, website support for both older browsers and newer EV browsers will require the installation of a cross-certificate on the web server which was issued by a root CA already embedded in older browsers. The cross-certificate will certify a newer EV specific issuing CA as trusted, and the actual web server site certificate will be issued from that issuing CA.
How will browsers respond when they visit a website with an invalid certificate or phishing site? (top)
The response may vary depending on the type of browser but, in general, a red address bar could indicate that you that you have accessed a known phishing site.
Red alert blocks immediate access to reported phishing sites, although users can proceed to the site if they wish.
A red address bar could also indicate that there may be a problem with the certificate or that it may not be issued from a trusted Certificate Authority.
Internet Explorer includes prominent warnings to users and will recommend users not visit the page.
If the user ignores the warnings and continues the address bar goes red and red warning 'security badges' appear.
I operate my own CA based on Entrust software, can I issue EV certificates myself? (top)
Yes, if you own an Entrust-rooted CA, you will be able to issue Entrust EV SSL Certificates once your CA is recognized by the EV-ready browsers. This will either entail cross-certification with a CA already in the EV root embedding programs of the major browsers or that you submit your own root into those programs.
In both cases you will need to undergo an audit under the CA/Browser Forum guidelines.
I'm a website operator. How will Entrust EV SSL Certificates affect me? (top)
For website operators some changes to consider include more details about the subscriber will be placed into the certificate including:
Domain name
Organization name
Jurisdiction of Incorporation
City or town
State or province (if any)
Country - mandatory
Some CSR generating tools may not allow you to add this information to your certificates. However, Entrust will be able to add this information to your Entrust EV SSL Certificates once your certificate order has been placed.
Please note that EV standards do not permit the use of wildcard certificates which can impact the number of certificates you may be required to purchase.
"Couldn't browsers just turn the address bar green with the current Entrust SSL certificates?" (top)
While it would be possible to enable more prominent security features in browsers based on current SSL certificates, the problem is with the inconsistent level of validation behind current certificates.
Some CA's today perform much less rigorous validation checks on companies requesting SSL certificates which introduce the risk that a phishing site could acquire a valid SSL certificate.
With that risk in mind, the CA/Browser Forum set out to establish a consistent, common set of validation guidelines which participating CA's could follow, and which browser manufacturers could rely on before turning on more prominent security features such as the green address bar.
Can I get an Entrust EV SSL wildcard certificate? (top)
No, the EV SSL guidelines do not permit wildcard certificates. In some cases the use of subjectAltName extensions can provide the same benefits as a wildcard certificate and this is permitted within the EV guidelines.
Entrust EV SSL Certificate Revocation Information & Reporting Policy (top)
Under what conditions will my Entrust EV SSL Certificate be revoked?
Entrust MUST revoke an Entrust EV SSL Certificate it has issued upon the occurrence of any of the following events:
The Subscriber requests revocation of its Entrust EV SSL Certificate.

Entrust EV SSL Certificate Revocation Information & Reporting Policy
What is 'Extended Validation'? (top)
'Extended Validation' refers to rigorous, industry standard validation methods to be used by a CA before issuing an SSL certificates.
The guidelines for Extended Validation are published by the CA/Browser Forum here.
What is an Extended Validation (EV) SSL Certificate? (top)
An Extended Validation (EV) SSL Server Certificate is a new category of SSL certificate created by an industry consortium called the CA/Browser forum. This new category of certificate was conceived in response to the growing threat of phishing attacks with a goal of increasing consumer confidence in online transactions.
EV certificates will be issued to websites only after rigorous validation of their identity. Web browsers will reflect this higher level of identity assurance with prominent and distinct trust indicators, such as the green address bar in Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox, and advanced green indicators in the latest versions of Opera and Google Chrome.
What is the CA/Browser Forum? (top)
The CA/Browser Forum is a group of Certification Authority service providers, web browser manufacturers, and other industry participants that came together to look at ways to reduce the threat of phishing.
Entrust chairs this group and strongly supports its work. More information can be found at the CA/Browser Forum website.
Which browsers support Entrust EV SSL Certificates? (top)
The majority of browsers in use today display green trust indicators for EV. Some of the major browsers supporting EV are Internet Explorer (version 7 and above), Mozilla Firefox version 3, Opera version 8, Safari version 3.2, Google Chrome and Flock version 2.
How will Entrust EV SSL Certificates increase consumer confidence? (top)
With numerous malicious phishing incidents and online fraud, consumers are concerned with identity theft and would like reassurance that the site they are entering their personal data into can be trusted. If consumers feel the site is not trusted and their personal information is unencrypted, they will leave the site and take their transactions to another vendor.
Entrust EV SSL Certificates will help increase consumer confidence by displaying prominent and consistent trust indicators while consumers are conducting online transactions. Now the lock is now at the top of the browser window instead of the bottom and if a website has an Entrust EV SSL Certificate installed, the address bar color will display green and will display the identity of the site and the name of the certificate authority to let the consumer know they can shop with confidence.
What can I do to secure my site and increase consumer confidence today? (top)
Current website security best practices are still valid - Extended Validation does not change that. Some things to consider while you're waiting for EV SSL certificates to be available:
Are you displaying your Entrust site seal on protected pages?
How are you authenticating your users?
How are you monitoring for fraud?
What access control mechanisms do you have in place?
Who can purchase an Entrust EV SSL Certificate? (top)
A broad range of business entities are now eligible for EV certificates:
Private Organization: A non-governmental legal entity (whether ownership interests are privately held or publicly traded) whose existence was created by a filing with (or an act of) the Incorporating Agency in its Jurisdiction of Incorporation.
Government Entity: A government-operated legal entity, agency, department, ministry, or similar element of the government of a country, or political subdivision within such country (such as a state, province, city, county, etc).
Business Entity: Any entity that is neither a Private Organization nor a Government Entity. Examples include general partnerships, unincorporated associations and sole proprietorships.
How can I buy an Entrust EV SSL Certificate? (top)
Entrust EV SSL Certificates will be available first for purchase through Entrust Certificate Services website at www.entrust.net, and at a later date through our Enhanced interface for customers managing larger pools of certificates.
Can I upgrade my existing Entrust SSL Certificates to the new Entrust EV SSL Certificates? (top)
Yes.
Please note that customers taking advantage of these promotions will need to be validated under the new EV guidelines before certs can be issued.
What is the maximum lifetime for an Entrust EV SSL Certificate? (top)
Entrust EV SSL Certificates have a maximum of lifetime of 2 years (24 months).
How will Entrust EV SSL Certificates be different from the current Entrust SSL Certificates? (top)
The primary difference will be in what happens before the Entrust EV SSL Certificates are even issued. Before issuing any Entrust SSL Certificate, Entrust performs checks to 'vet' or validate the identity of the requestor.
Under the new EV model, validation of an entity (e.g. a company or web site operator) requesting an Entrust EV SSL Certificate will be performed using industry standard guidelines, as defined by the CA/Browser Forum. This is different from current practices in that different Certification Authorities have very different validation standards. Although the majority of Certification Authorities have rigorous validation practices, not all do and this undermines the overall security of SSL for consumer transactions.
Certificates issued using 'Extended Validation' will include a reference to an EV-specific certificate policy. Each Certification Authority will have a unique policy and Policy Object Identifier (OID). Browsers supporting EV will behave differently when they encounter a certificate issued under an EV policy OID that they recognize.
Note that at a technical level, Entrust EV SSL Certificates will not be different from standard X.509 certificates and will be backwards compatible with older browsers. Entrust EV SSL Certificates will include more information on the subject (the entity the certificate was issued to) - including jurisdiction of incorporation.
Are my existing Entrust SSL Certificates still sufficient for securing online transactions? (top)
From a cryptographic perspective, yes your current Entrust SSL Certificates are still going to result in encrypted SSL sessions.
However, the greatest threat to online transactions is not cryptographic in nature - it is phishing. Phishing preys on consumer's inability to discern between trustworthy sites and imposter sites.
The EV initiative is targeted at making it easier for consumers to make that distinction. From a usability perspective, non-EV certificates will have decreasing effectiveness as consumers adopt the new browsers and come to expect the strong trust indicators provided by Entrust EV SSL Certificates while conducting transactions.
Should I switch to Entrust EV SSL Certificates? (top)
If you are operating a website that conducts ecommerce transactions or if you collect sensitive or private information you should be considering switching to Entrust EV SSL Certificates.
Phishing attacks are a real threat to the trust consumers have placed on the internet and Entrust EV SSL Certificates can only be part of the solution if they are deployed and used widely.
How will older browsers without EV support behave on sites with Entrust EV SSL Certificates? (top)
Browsers without EV support will continue to behave as they do today. As long as the certificate was issued by a CA trusted by the browser, the lock will close as expected.
In most cases, website support for both older browsers and newer EV browsers will require the installation of a cross-certificate on the web server which was issued by a root CA already embedded in older browsers. The cross-certificate will certify a newer EV specific issuing CA as trusted, and the actual web server site certificate will be issued from that issuing CA.
How will browsers respond when they visit a website with an invalid certificate or phishing site? (top)
The response may vary depending on the type of browser but, in general, a red address bar could indicate that you that you have accessed a known phishing site.
Red alert blocks immediate access to reported phishing sites, although users can proceed to the site if they wish.
A red address bar could also indicate that there may be a problem with the certificate or that it may not be issued from a trusted Certificate Authority.
Internet Explorer includes prominent warnings to users and will recommend users not visit the page.
If the user ignores the warnings and continues the address bar goes red and red warning 'security badges' appear.
I operate my own CA based on Entrust software, can I issue EV certificates myself? (top)
Yes, if you own an Entrust-rooted CA, you will be able to issue Entrust EV SSL Certificates once your CA is recognized by the EV-ready browsers. This will either entail cross-certification with a CA already in the EV root embedding programs of the major browsers or that you submit your own root into those programs.
In both cases you will need to undergo an audit under the CA/Browser Forum guidelines.
I'm a website operator. How will Entrust EV SSL Certificates affect me? (top)
For website operators some changes to consider include more details about the subscriber will be placed into the certificate including:
Domain name
Organization name
Jurisdiction of Incorporation
City or town
State or province (if any)
Country - mandatory
Some CSR generating tools may not allow you to add this information to your certificates. However, Entrust will be able to add this information to your Entrust EV SSL Certificates once your certificate order has been placed.
Please note that EV standards do not permit the use of wildcard certificates which can impact the number of certificates you may be required to purchase.
"Couldn't browsers just turn the address bar green with the current Entrust SSL certificates?" (top)
While it would be possible to enable more prominent security features in browsers based on current SSL certificates, the problem is with the inconsistent level of validation behind current certificates.
Some CA's today perform much less rigorous validation checks on companies requesting SSL certificates which introduce the risk that a phishing site could acquire a valid SSL certificate.
With that risk in mind, the CA/Browser Forum set out to establish a consistent, common set of validation guidelines which participating CA's could follow, and which browser manufacturers could rely on before turning on more prominent security features such as the green address bar.
Can I get an Entrust EV SSL wildcard certificate? (top)
No, the EV SSL guidelines do not permit wildcard certificates. In some cases the use of subjectAltName extensions can provide the same benefits as a wildcard certificate and this is permitted within the EV guidelines.
