October 14, 2024 – Tomorrow is MFA Enforcement day and we have our first FIDO2 key update

by Leave a Comment

Today is the last day before Phase 1 of MFA Enforcement of Microsoft portals being turned on. This includes break glass accounts as well, so make sure you have your FIDO keys, Certs, or a dedicated computer with Windows Hello for Business setup.

You can learn more of the details at Microsoft Learn – https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity/authentication/concept-mandatory-multifactor-authentication

If you want to see what accounts will be affected, check out Daniel Bradley’s great blog at https://ourcloudnetwork.com/how-to-assess-the-impact-of-mfa-enforcement-in-azure/

This past Saturday we had our first update to the FIDO2 key database. The OneSpan DIGIPASS FX1 BIO now has been approved for NFC. It looks like it was updated later on Friday as the page shows last updated on the 11th, but when I had checked that morning there wasn’t an update.

Also, I’ve updated the module to show the change in database as well as when you check which version of the database you have it automatically tells you if it is outdated instead of needing to then run the -NewVersion parameter.

Added Cmdlet Get-FIDODbLog which will show you the database merge log so you don’t have to go to the web to see it and will have it right in your terminal.

EntraFIDOFinder Update

by Leave a Comment

October 15, is less than a week away for the MFA requirement on certain 365 Apps. Please make sure you are all set by then. Make sure to go through all your accounts, especially those old ones that you rarely ever touch, and see if you still need it or what is the best way to protect it now. For some you will be able to delete and others you will need something such as a cert, FIDO2 key, or Windows Hello for Business. For those that will need a FIDO2 key, I’ve pulled from Microsoft Learn the current Attestation capable FIDO2 keys that are compatible with Entra. The database may say that it was last updated September 30, 2024, but I reviewed it today(Oct 9th) and the list still hasn’t changed. Once they do update it, I’ll update mine as well as show the changes.

With that said, I’ve now created a function called Show-FIDODbVersion that will show you what your current version is, and if you use Show-FIDODbVersion -NewestVersion, it will show you the newest version out. Would you rather me, show the difference as soon as you run Show-FIDODbVersion if there is or do you want them seperate?

Also working on automating the update process so that it can be checked daily with minimal intervention.

Are there any other features you’d like to see? I’m going to be adding at least vendor links and I’ve been trying to find pricing, but more than a handful of them do not even show pricing and not sure how valuable it will be if only a few of the vendors have pricing. How critical is cost to you?

I hope EntraFIDOFinder has been useful for you, and I can’t believe it has over 100 downloads already. I wasn’t even going to publish this, but figured there was someone else out there that didn’t want to just look at a static website and scroll through, so that is why I created the module and the interactive webpage.

Enjoy your day and get secure!

EntraFIDOFinder: Web Version now available

by Leave a Comment

Yes, I know it may seem counter productive to make a web version of it, but I wanted to have an interactive web version so that it is easier for people to use then Microsoft’s version. The data is the same as the PowerShell version and will be updated at the same time as they are pulling from the same source.

Functionality:

  • Search by Vendor
  • Filter by USB, NFC, BIO, and BLE

Web Version: EntraFIDOFinder
PowerShell Version: EntraFIDOFinder

Let me know what you think, and have a great day!

EntraFIDOFinder – New PowerShell Module

by Leave a Comment

After so much interest from my post on Friday, I figured I’d do one better and make a PowerShell module that does it for you. So now you will be able to find which FIDO2 keys are attestation compatible with Entra right from your terminal. In the very near future I will have individual functions for exporting to Excel, CSV, Markdown, and PDF, but know a lot of people like to customize that themselves. I even put a few quick pointers on GitHub for it too, but will be doing tutorials shortly as well.

I’m still cleaning up the GitHub, but it is in the PowerShell Gallery and on GitHub at the links below.

You are able to search by Brand and/or device type such as USB, NFC, BLE, or BIO. These values are all parameter validated so if you do not see a brand that you have, then currently it is not compatible. Here is also the original link I shared on Friday Microsoft Learn FIDO2 Hardware Attestation.

Let me know what you think and do you find it useful. There are a few other features I want to add, but open to any other suggestions or do you think it is good as is?

And don’t forget the mid Oct deadline is coming up quickly for Entra admin portals, good luck!

October 15, 2024: Microsoft Azure and Admin Portal MFA Requirement

by Leave a Comment

Are you ready for October 15, 2024 where accessing Azure Portal, Entra admin, Intune admin, and 365 Admin center portals will require MFA? It’s less than a month away. It does look like you can push it out to March 2025 if you absolutely have to, but I wouldn’t recommend it unless you have an extreme case.

Below is a great link from Microsoft Learn to check out to see how you’ll be affected and how to plan for it if you haven’t made the necessary changes. If you need any help migrating or any questions regarding it, I’d be glad to help out.

Microsoft Mandatory MFA Requirement

1k Downloads and more

Wow, can’t believe it! 1,000 downloads of 365AutomatedLab! Thank you all! And I just want to start out saying apologies for not updating it more. Big work projects, summer, and life got in the way, but learned a lot and can’t wait to spread that info.

Still saddened that Microsoft hasn’t brought back the free Developer tenant program, but you can still use these in production to standardize adding and removing objects when dynamic groups aren’t an option. Please let me know if there are any features you wish it had, and I’ll see what I can do.

I did make a quick update to the module due to the PnP.PowerShell module changes where I removed the Connect-PnP in functions as you cannot use the old way anymore. I didn’t want you or others to be blocked from using those functions because of it, but will be adding back the newer way in the near future, I just want to find the best way to give you options to connect. If you already have a working function, I’d be glad to add it as well.

In addition to 365AutomatedLab, I’d been working on 365AutomatedCheck which is still in beta, but it checks if your 365 tenant is formatted and/or configured correctly to your company standards. Some of its capabilities are making sure that field values follow company standards, making sure phone numbers are filled in, and even on the fly correcting of those fields. This isn’t a Maester replacement, in fact all of the Pester tests work in Maester, and encourage you to add these to your Maester setup, but as of right now the auto correct fields function doesn’t work. Maybe we can make that happen!

Again, thank you for using 365AutomatedLab, as this is a fun side project for me, and never thought it would get this much traction. It’s a dream come true, and can’t wait to start working on it again!

Hope you have a great day!
