AD Bridge 26.1.0 Machine Account Password EncryptionTo improve credential protection, as of ADBridge 26.1, machine account passwords are encrypted by default when stored in the machine-level secrets stored (registry) on Linux systems. This reduces exposure in the event of system compromise and better aligns with common security control requirements for authenticator protection. The registry setting on the Linux system added by Active Directory Bridge controls the machine account password encryption behavior:HKEY_THIS_MACHINE\Services\lsass\Parameters\Providers\ActiveDirectory\PstoreCompatLevelPstoreCompatLevel settings: 1 - The machine account password is encrypted when stored 0 - The machine account password is not encrypted when stored When upgrading from a previous AD Bridge release to 26.1, the plain

New Features in AD Bridge 25.2 Improved Linux workstation experience with Entra ID We’ve enhanced the Linux workstation login experience by integrating Microsoft Entra ID, making identity management simpler and more secure. This improvement supports the growing adoption of Entra ID bridging on Linux desktops, enabling organizations to unify access across platforms and strengthen compliance Tenantjoin: Endpoint key renewal A new configuration option allows administrators to define the lifespan of an app secret, enabling automated renewal workflows. When the secret approaches expiration, a renewal process is triggered by a script, which can be customized by administrators to align with their preferred tooling or operational practices.

Monthly Buzz - October - Active Directory Bridge

Creating a Computer Account Object in Active Directory using adtool Command Computer account objects can be created in Active Directory, without switching over to a Windows management host, ahead of joining the computer to the domain. On the Unix or Linux client use the /opt/pbis/bin/adtool, with the new-computer action. This is useful for administrators who want to create named computer objects as one user, but run domain join operations as a different user with different privileges. Command /opt/pbis/bin/adtool -a new-computer <ARGUMENTS> Acceptable arguments ([X] - required): --dn=STRING DN/RDN of the parent container/OU containing the computer.

Monthly Buzz - September - Active Directory Bridge

Updating DNS Records on Linux/Unix with AD Bridge Agent On a Linux or UNIX machine, an administrator can run the following command:/opt/pbis/bin/update-dns This command securely registers the machine’s IP addresses and corresponding PTR records in DNS using dynamic DNS updates. By default, it registers all interface addresses with the default FQDN, which is determined by either: the machine password store, or the canonical hostname returned by gethostbyname(gethostname()) if --nocreds is used. Note: The update-dns command does not run automatically. Each time it is executed, it updates the timestamp on the DNS record. If DNS scavenging is enabled, administrators can configure a cron job (for example, daily) to refresh the record’s date and prevent its removal. The update-dns comman
