A LDAP user without a Role membership can properly login but can not see any Projects - so far fine.
How can i block such a user to Login at all?
We have one "userBaseDn" Group (userBaseDn="cn=Users,ou=PROD,dc=company,dc=com") in which all users are stored. But of course, only users in following roleBaseDn (roleBaseDn="cn=Rundeck_Admins,cn=Applications,ou=PROD,dc=company,dc=com") Group should have access to Rundeck Web UI.
I expect, only users in Group "Rundeck_Admins" can Login to Rundeck at all
Currently, you can only restrict that using an ACL policy (the user can log in but cannot view/edit/run any project/job, as you say), please take a look at this.
Alternatively, you can create a specific branch in your LDAP server only for Rundeck users.
Currently, means there will be a change on this behavior?
As far a i understand LDAP right, for a specific LADP branch in which a place users, i have to manage users twice. 1st, in user directory and 2nd in the specific Rundeck Group. For me quite unhandy...

I configured okta snowflake SSO. I assigned users as well. I configures scim which has permission to create users, deactivate users, sync password. After i configure scim i am having errors for existing users Automatic provisioning of user to app snowflake failed. Error while creating user. Conflict. Error reported by remote server. User exist with given user name. Same thing happening when I am assigning the app to existing user with same user name. Is there any way to fix it or is it best to remove scim.
In order for the merge to be successful, the login mapping needs to be exactly the same (the rest gets updated by okta). So make sure users can login via SSO first.
You also need to transfer ownership manually. Documentation provides this command:
use role accountadmin;
grant ownership on user <user_name> to role okta_provisioner;

So my goal is to create a Rundeck job that runs on a schedule and isn't run as my personal user, or any "regular" user, but rather a bot user. Ideally this bot user wouldn't have login access and restricted permissions for security reasons, but would be able to run certain jobs. I've tried searching, but the only information I'm finding is about how to create a "regular" user in Rundeck. Even if I go down that route of creating the bot user as a "regular" user, to use it, you need to pass in either the login credentials or an API token. An API token would be fine, if it could be generated and pulled in on the fly. However, that is not the case, the API has an expiration itself. If there is something I'm missing, please let me know. I'd love to get this working.

Rundeck Cli Version: 1.1.7
You can set the following configuration in your rundeck-config.properties file (usually at /etc/rundeck/ directory):
rundeck.api.tokens.duration.max=0
This will disable your maximum period, you can see this in the official documentation here.
With that, your "bot user" can do it through API / RD CLI as you wrote.
Try using webhooks https://docs.rundeck.com/docs/manual/12-webhooks.html
You can trigger a job by making a http-request
The way I've implemented bots is as a user who is a member of a 'bot' user group, with ACLs that lock down that group as required. Any passwords required for the scheduled job are loaded into the key storage of the bot user.
With this approach you still need someone who knows the bot credentials to login as them and set passwords/SSH keys, but that's a one-off. Is that what you're trying to avoid?
The one annoying thing I've found is that a scheduled job always seems to run as the last user to edit the job - so I grant edit access to bot users and make sure to set/reset the schedule after any edit by a normal user. Hoping to address this through https://github.com/rundeck/rundeck/issues/1603, you might want to give it a 👍.
Want to identify the users/login with Administrative access on server to migrate them to new server's. I have tried Select * from $System.TMSCHEMA_ROLE_MEMBERSHIPS but these give information regarding the particular database i need more at server level.
Ssas users are done quite differently from normal databases. Ssas uses only the active directory account of the user trying to connect.
On server level the only security is done in the properties of the server, there you can select active directory users with administrative access to the server.
On database level you can create roles, give them access to (part of a) database and link active directory users/groups to them.
Using the analysisservices namespace of microsoft you already mentioned you can look trough every role in every database and note the permissions.
As far as I know you can't actually use this namespace to see all the administrators of the user. But unless you have an unreasonable amount of administrators the best solution might be to just open the server in sql server management studio, click on properties, security and write down all the AD members manually.
I hope this helps you and good luck!
I'm new to DB2 database. I installed DB2 Express-C on my local machine (Windows 10) to play with it, and I created a sample database.
If I understand correctly, DB2 uses Windows accounts for access to database. The installation created a db2admin user, but this one does not have access to the sample database. So my understanding is that my Windows account has access to this database.
So here is the problem. My company uses Azure Active Directory accounts, using Windows Hello to log in - that means, using a PIN to log in instead of a password (meaning my password does not work for login). However, if I want to connect to the database, I need to do this with my account's password. How can I do this? Do I need to create a local account on my machine instead of using Azure account?
If you are able to create a local-user on your workstation, and assign it a password, and ensure it is a member of local groups DB2USERS (and optionally) DB2ADMNS if those local-groups exist, that is likely to be the easiest option.
You may need to have Windows local-administrative rights to be able to perform those actions.
You can then connect to any local Db2-databases with that local-account and its password (regardless of how you sign-in to Windows).
If you allowed Db2-installation to create local user db2admin (and give it a password) then that local-account is also able to connect to local Db2-databases, including the SAMPLE database. So it's unclear why you write that db2admin account does not have access to SAMPLE database. As long as db2admin has a valid password then that account can connect to SAMPLE if all default settings are active.
Db2-LUW is able to integrate with Active-Directory provided pre-requisites are met and special configuration is performed, see documentation. But unless you have special security plugins for Db2, then any account that wants to connect to local Db2-databases will need a password. With special security plugins, other forms of authentication are possible.
Windows 10 Azure account login gives license to only one user to access windows account. If you login with db2admin in your windows you might lost azure account I am facing such issues.
Better to communicate with IT team of your company and ask to provide DB2ADMN right to your Azure login user. DB2 install properly but not able to create database permission/authorization issue coming.
Good day. Am working in an environment that requires a security approach for checking users account (users in the active directory are changing data in the SQL SERVER).
I want to link/tie the users of an active directory to the SQL server account login account.
Am working with Powershell, i type Get-ADUser -filter *, it gives me the list of all listed users. If i log into my SQL SERVER with "winnie", how do i link/tie the active directory user with the sql server user called ""winnie"
You should never give users access to a database by single Windows User or by SQL User. The reason for this is because of the security later on. It will be better to manage and audit a group compared to giving out single users. If you have to restore that database to a new system. It will provide better security between a Production system and a Test system.
The only user who should have access to a database is the SA account. The others should be controlled by Security Groups.
How do you do this:
In SQL Server Management Studio, go to Object Explorer > (your server) > Security > Logins and right-click New Login:
Then in the dialog box that pops up, pick the types of objects you want to see (Groups is disabled by default - check it!) and pick the location where you want to look for your objects (e.g. use Entire Directory) and then find your AD group.
Any member of that AD group can now login to SQL Server and use your database.
Add the Read or Write permissions to the Security Group of choice. Limiting security issues it the future.
Best Practice:
Create Security Groups
Security Group naming convention exmaples:
SG_DBNAME_READ
SG_DBNAME_WRITE
SG_DBSERVER_ADMIN
