[VirtualBox 6][Centos 8] Troubleshoot - unbale to enable second network adaptor on Centos 8 in VirtualBox



[Problem]

After installing Centos 8 on VirtualBox 6.x version, I realised that second network adpator never actually up and running which makes only use first network adaptor.

[Issue Check]

- When First log in to Centos, it is showing only First network adapter regardless of network type(NAT, Host only or Bridge).





- Tried to activate second network using NetworkManager but it doesn't even show the Network interface but ip list is showing second network.

nmtui

[Solution]
The solution to this is simply create scripts for second network interface in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts.

1. cd /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts
2. sudo cp enp0s3 enp0s8
3. sudo vi enp0s8



4. reboot

Once it reboots, second network is up and running with ip address assigned as expected.

How to configure LDAPS, LDAP over SSL, using CA Certificate Service on Domain Controller in Windows Server 2016

This post is to provide an instruction on how to set up LDAPS (LDAP over SSL) on Domain Controller using single-tier CA hierachy. Reasons for Enabling LDAPS By default, LDAP communications between client and server applications are not encrypted. This means that it would be possible to use a network monitoring device or software and view the communications traveling between LDAP client and server computers. This is especially problematic when an LDAP simple bind is used because credentials (username and password) is passed over the network unencrypted. This could quickly lead to the compromise of credentials.  Reasons for enabling Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) over Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) / Transport Layer Security (TLS) also known as LDAPS include: Some applications authenticate with Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) through simple BIND. As simple BIND exposes the users’ credentials in clear text, use of Kerberos is preferred. If simp...

Setting up AD LDS on Windows Server 2016

What Is Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services? Microsoft Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services (AD LDS) is an independent mode of Active Directory that provides dedicated directory services for applications. AD LDS is a mode of Active Directory that provides directory services for applications. AD LDS provides dedicated directory services for applications. It provides a data store and services for accessing the data store. It uses standard application programming interfaces (APIs) for accessing the application data. The APIs include those of Active Directory, Active Directory Service Interfaces, Lightweight Data Access Protocol, and System.DirectoryServices. AD LDS operates independently of Active Directory and independently of Active Directory domains or forests. It operates either as a standalone data store, or it operates with replication. Its independence enables local control and autonomy of directory services for specific applications. It al...
