An error occurred during a connection to password.xxxx.xxxx.com. SSL received a weak ephemeral Diffie-Hellman key in Server Key Exchange handshake message. (Error code: ssl_error_weak_server_ephemeral_dh_key)


Even after updating the schannel.dll not to use DH, still cannot connect.

Hardening of PMP SSL/TLS configuration

$
0
0
My site is in the process of hardening all of our services that require authentication. I upgraded our PMP insall to version 8.1 (8101) and I configured it with a globally trusted certificate.

I then ran a nmap scan against the install for the script ssl-enum-ciphers on the port 7272.  Much to my surprise, it reported back that SSLv3 ciphters are turned on.

The results were:
PORT     STATE SERVICE  VERSION
7272/tcp open  ssl/http Apache Tomcat/Coyote JSP engine 1.1
| ssl-enum-ciphers:
|   SSLv3:
|     ciphers:
|       TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA - strong
|     compressors:
|       NULL
|   TLSv1.0:
|     ciphers:
|       TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA - strong
|     compressors:
|       NULL
|   TLSv1.1:
|     ciphers:
|       TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA - strong
|     compressors:
|       NULL
|   TLSv1.2:
|     ciphers:
|       TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA - strong
|       TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA256 - strong
|     compressors:
|       NULL
|_  least strength: strong

I changed the server.xml file according to another PMP post recommendation:

To turn off SSL 3.0 on PMP

https://forums.manageengine.com/topic/how-to-configure-passwordmanager-pro-7-0-to-not-use-ssl3-poodle-attack

I did this and once the nmap is ran again the only protocol that shows is the TLSv1.0, which is better than having it respond to SSL.

PORT     STATE SERVICE  VERSION
7272/tcp open  ssl/http Apache Tomcat/Coyote JSP engine 1.1
| ssl-enum-ciphers:
|   TLSv1.0:
|     ciphers:
|       TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA - strong
|     compressors:
|       NULL
|_  least strength: strong

Reading through the other product forums I found that by adding TLSv1, TLSv1.1, TLSv1.2 to the SSLprotocols= line we get the other flavors of TLS turned on..

  • stop the PMP service and take a backup of the server.xml file present in PMP/conf directory.
  • Edit this file with wordpad and look for the value   sslProtocol="TLS" .
  • Change it to  SSLProtocols="TLSv1,TLSv1.1,TLSv1.2"  and save the file.
    • NOTE THE SSLProtocol is now Plural (s) added to it. (This will disable SSLv3 in tomcat server)
  • Change it in both the lines you find in the file.
  • Then start the PMP service and you should be able to connect to the webpage.

I did this and get these results back.

PORT     STATE SERVICE  VERSION
7272/tcp open  ssl/http Apache Tomcat/Coyote JSP engine 1.1
| ssl-enum-ciphers:
|   TLSv1.0:
|     ciphers:
|       TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA - strong
|     compressors:
|       NULL
|   TLSv1.1:
|     ciphers:
|       TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA - strong
|     compressors:
|       NULL
|   TLSv1.2:
|     ciphers:
|       TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA - strong
|       TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA256 - strong
|     compressors:
|       NULL
|_  least strength: strong

So by making these changes it fixes the default build of having SSL 3.0 ciphers (old demoted ciphers) available and just leaving the more secure TLS running. I will be turning the Olders TLS's off shortly.

Hope this helps others in your quest of in a better security posture for your organizations.

Re : Password reset by resourse

Hi, to my knowledge this is not possible. Then again, I am not a PMP engineer. 

I am also not sure why you would like that, as the idea behind PMP is to not know the password untill you need it. PMP can do this for you. If you change the password in AD yourself and it is synced to PMP the security would be compromised?

For anyone who is experiencing the same problem...

I was still running version 6.9.0. This problem was solved in version 7.1 and higher. 

After upgrading to the current version (8.1) I can now change the password of the admin account.

Re : Password reset by resourse

Hi Alexander,

Thanks for the post.
As Wilfred mentioned, PMP does not perform a two way sync. So you can trigger a password reset from PMP and set it in the target device. But it cannot pull the passwords out of the target device. Even when you Discover resources from AD, it will only pull the Windows machines along with the local accounts. But it will not pull the current passwords. You can do a bulk password reset or you can reset the password for the first time in due of the the product usage. Once this is done, all users will be forced to login to PMP to check out/use the respective password.

Hope this helps you.
Do contact us if you have any other questions.


Thanks & Regards,

Hi.

We are having problem resetting password. We've performed a check-in/check-out of password on one of our resource. but per checking the audit logs, it shows an error.

To make PMP work with Firefox 39.0, you'll need to modify the ciphers= strings from:
ciphers="TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA,TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA256,TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA"
to
ciphers="TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA384,TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256,TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA,TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256,TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA,TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA256,TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA"

A smaller list may be all that's needed, but this works.

Automatic Password Reset - HP PRocurve

Hello,

We are currently experiencing an issue when trying to set up automated password resets on our HP Procurve 2610 switches.

I have PMP set up to connect to the switches and log in using SSH, putty and the Web Browser. The automatic logins all work successfully.

As we reset the passwords on our switches on a regular basis I am attempting to set up the automatic password reset using SSH (current setting below):

I am able to run the 'Password Verify' command for each account successfully. However when I attempt to complete a remote password reset this fails with the following:

Given that I know the credentials stored in PMP for the switch are correct, what would be stopping the password reset?

When we first log into the switches using SSH/putty we get the following message, could this be causing problems and is there any way around this?

Regards

Mark

Improve upgrade process for High Availability installs

$
0

We have experienced a number of recurring issues during installs and upgrades of PMP on Linux.  The main one is that the files and directories are being installed with "root" as the owner instead of the PMP user, even when the install script is being run as PMP.  This results in the PMP service not starting up.  The first time we encountered this, we were informed to chown the directories to the correct user.  We have since had to do this for nearly every install and some upgrades.  It would be preferable that this were done by the install script so we don't have to continually troubleshoot startup problems with the PMP service.

Next, as a High Availability installation, the upgrade process is cumbersome and error prone, again causing problems with the secondary server starting up and with replication.  If the secondary server is currently working, why must we (basically) delete it and rebuild the secondary server from scratch?  If this process was an upgrade and not an outright replacement, the issues of missing files, certs, incorrect ownership of directories, etc. could be avoided.

Has anyone else encountered these problems, and have you found a way to resolve them?

Anyone got any ideas or can point me in the right direction?

Hi, we are your customer for over 5 years and by myself I’m using your software for about 10.

We’ve been using your password manager as core password software – but now – with lots of resources it gets annoying – mainly we use search option but normal users gets angry every day to find something.

At the beginning we started to use groups…yes tree view etc…but suddenly it occurred that in fact browsing them is even more annoying.

Guys – time to move with the software – we are looking at your competitors and they get better and better every day – your interface stays the same for years !

On one hand it’s good but on other hand... why we cannot browse resources like folders – just have nice tree view with folders created globally or locally or workable tree view to browse and explore ?

Just please try to work with few hundreds of them J on such flat interface.

 

Regards

Bogdan

Hi,

I am new to PMP and noticed that whenever I open an ssh connection to a server my inputs are buffered then dumped on the screen. Is there a way to remove this feature? the delay is really annoying especially when you have some good amount of commands to run.

Thank you,
Elie

Re : Modify Search Result Fields

Hi Dan,

Thanks for the forum post.
Administrator / Password Administrator in PMP can very well edit the resource and account information using the  search operation. We request you to upgrade to latest version to make use of this option if it is not visible during search 

The fields to be displayed during the search can not customized currently. We will add  this request to our road-map and provide this option in one of our future releases.

Feel free to write to us if you have any other questions.

Thanks & Regards,
Chris
