Not sure if you’ve ever tried, but do you happen to have used accounts protected by FAST with keytabs before?

I’ve had trouble using them when FAST is at play; but it’s fine when entering creds interactively - might be something to do with salts? 🧂

FWIW, your FAST repo helped a lot at $OLDJOB!

Assumes you’re not loading your own supplementary DLLs though I suppose

Amazing, thank you! Definitely a massive win for FAST armouring! Appreciate it :)

Is this the “Machine Identity Isolation” feature, or am I crossing my wires? 😅

Poor wording on my part! I’m wondering if there’s a way to specify that a machine should auto-enroll for a machine certificate stored in Credential Guard, rather than running the command manually on the endpoint

I assume this would have the same OS requirements as the new VBS flags in NCrypt (though I might be wrong there!)?

Doing a deep dive, I can’t seem to spot any other LsaIso RPC callers in the cert enrollment DLLs other than the path that originates from that CLI flag 🤔

More specifically on the RPC filter part of WFP, but a really good guide!

@damienmiller.bsky.social sorry, not sshd-auth; it’s the monitor process holding the PAM handle. Still, same problem!

Ouch - doesn’t sound fun; would you almost need to keep an sshd-auth process idling holding a PAM handle open?

Excited to see the finished product! It’s really impressive how cleanly it’s all been split out - the side effect of making process trees easier to follow is really handy!

we need to bring back ominous error messages; all i want is for my pc to suggest i "contact my system administrator via ouija board" or something. we used to be a proper country.

2025: out with "oops!!" in error messages, in with "how dare you ... the audacity ... etc. etc."

Perfect, thank you! I assumed that it was something like that, just hadn’t seen anything mentioned anywhere before!

Happy holidays! 🎆
