 Great book about security basicsMar 23, 2007
By Valerij Prusakov
I will strongly recommend this book for common understanding Windows security, authentication and PKI basics. For going deeper about let say PKI I will suggest Brian Komar book. But for all-in-one it's a best choice.
Another Incredible Rare GemFeb 25, 2006
By Joaquin Menchaca
This book is very rich and delves deep under the hood into Windows technologies in regards to security. Some warnings for novice readers, there'll walkthroughs of graphical wizards, and this book is not for the light-hearted; it will require some basic understanding of technologies like Kerberos. Though if this is not a problem, this has clear explanations that will illuminate the inner secrets of Windows infrastructure without the need to be a rocket scientist for understanding.
Some parts that I really much appreciated were scenarios about Windows interoperability. In particular, De Clerq detailed methods to integrate LDAP-Kerberos single-sign-on solutions with a Windows domain controller, or with Kerberos cross-realm trust. He should the various freeware solutions, but also delved into Vintella's (now own by Quest) solutions, and later touched on SAMBA's Active Directory integration. Additionally, he details how much in the way of standards Microsoft implements, and what proprietary additions Microsoft adds to Kerberos.
I didn't get a chance to go deep into other chapters, but I briefly looking at them, I know De Cleq will give you a full understanding of the authentication process and also of the authorization process. He has some excellent sections on PKI infrastructure, something I am most interested (and sometimes confused about). I am most eager to really go through this book.
Bottomline... If you are a button clicking administrator, content to be ignorant and collect a paycheck, this book might not be for you... Haha. However, if you want to learn about the deep inner workings of Windows in regards to security infrastructure, this book is a must.
