Thought experiment
Copying NPS server configurations
In this thought experiment, apply what you've learned about this objective. You can
find answers to these questions in the “Answers” section at the end of this chapter.
You are the network administrator for TreyResearch.net. Company policy requires
that all sensitive company data be encrypted, and that all remote access to the
corporate network use two-factor authentication (2FA). The current NPS server,
remote1, is configured to enforce company policy and is working correctly, but to
improve redundancy and increase throughput, you've been tasked with creating a
second NPS server, remote2, that will use the same configuration as remote1. You
need to accomplish this with the minimum administrative overhead while ensuring
that the configuration is replicated accurately.
1.
How should you go about copying the configuration of the existing server?
2.
What security considerations does this raise?
3.
How should you mitigate these security considerations? Describe the alternatives.
■
The connection request policy controls the initial connection from a requesting client.
■
The connection request policy controls whether NPS acts as a RADIUS server or a
RADIUS proxy.
■
The network policy is responsible for authorizing and authenticating the client.
■
VPN and dial-up use different connection request policies, based on the different
types of ports on which they request access.
■
Network policies have one or more conditions, and may have constraints.
