Topic #: 1
[All AWS Certified Security - Specialty Questions]

A financial institution has the following security requirements:
✑ Cloud-based users must be contained in a separate authentication domain.
✑ Cloud-based users cannot access on-premises systems.
As part of standing up a cloud environment, the financial institution is creating a number of Amazon managed databases and Amazon EC2 instances. An Active
Directory service exists on-premises that has all the administrator accounts, and these must be able to access the databases and instances.
How would the organization manage its resources in the MOST secure manner? (Choose two.)

  • A. Configure an AWS Managed Microsoft AD to manage the cloud resources.
  • B. Configure an additional on-premises Active Directory service to manage the cloud resources.
  • C. Establish a one-way trust relationship from the existing Active Directory to the new Active Directory service.
  • D. Establish a one-way trust relationship from the new Active Directory to the existing Active Directory service.
  • E. Establish a two-way trust between the new and existing Active Directory services.

A and D are correct. Deploy a new forest/domain on AWS with one-way trust. If you are planning on leveraging credentials from an on-premises AD on AWS member servers, you must establish at least a one-way trust to the Active Directory running on AWS. In this model, the AWS domain becomes the resource domain where computer objects are located and on-premises domain becomes the account domain.

Refer to Microsoft documentation for trust direction: A one-way trust is a unidirectional authentication path created between two domains. In a one-way trust between Domain A and Domain B, users in Domain A can access resources in Domain B. However, users in Domain B cannot access resources in Domain A. A & C

Your reasoning is right but your implementation is wrong: if domain A trusts domain B, then domain B users can access domain A resources. So in this case, The AWS AD needs to trust the on-prem AD, so that on-prem users can access AWS AD, but not vice versa

A & E "On-premises, an Active Directory service contains all administrator accounts, which must have access to databases and instances (On the cloud )." I guess It is required two-way-trust.

B & C is correct answer. B is creating a new Active Directory Service. C & D bulid trust between existing Active Directory Service and New Directory Service. C is trust from existing AD to New AD. So option A is not to create a new Active Directory Service.

One-way trusts are a single-direction trust that allows authentication referrals from one side of the trust only. A one-way trust is either outgoing or incoming, but not both (that would be a two-way trust). plz see the link for further informations : https://aws.amazon.com/fr/blogs/security/everything-you-wanted-to-know-about-trusts-with-aws-managed-microsoft-ad/

So if Domain A trusts Domain B You can authenticate From Domain B to Domain A (If A trusts B > B will be able to Authenticate to A)

Interesting - Learnt something new today. Initially wrote this as A, C However, it should be A, D https://blogs.msmvps.com/acefekay/2016/11/02/active-directory-trusts/ "For an analogy, if you were to give your car keys to a friend to allow him or her to use your car, you are establishing a trust between you and your friend. In this case, you are the trusting friend, or domain, and the friend is the trusted friend, or domain. Once the keys have been provided, then the next step is to allow access to your resource, or car, by providing permissions to use the car. However, this trust is only in one direction, you trust your friend. If you want your friend to trust you, your friend, or the other domain, must be initiated by your friend, or the other domain."

A&D: "A one-way trust allows bidirectional authentication. This is false. One-way trusts allow authentications to traverse in one direction only. Users or objects from the trusted domain are able to authenticate and, if they are delegated, to access resources in the trusting domain. Users in the trusting domain can’t authenticate into the trusted domain, and aren’t granted permissions to access resources. Let’s say there is an Amazon FSx file system in Example.local and a one-way trust between Example.com (outgoing trust direction) and Example.local (incoming trust direction). A user in Example.com can’t be delegated permission to the Amazon FSx file system Example.local with the current trust configuration. That’s the nature of a one-way trust."
