1. Authentication Server AS Authenticator Authorization Domain An authentication protocol string created each time authentication occurs and sent with the ticket to the server It contains a time stamp encrypted in the session key that can reliably show that the authentication request actually came from the client identified in the ticket The process of determining what types of activities are per mitted Usually authorization is in the context of authentication once you have authenticated a user the user may be authorized for different types of access or activity Certificate Revocation Lists The CRL 1s a list of time stamped entries which indicate which lists have been revoked Part of the DNS domain naming system name that specifies details about a host A domain is the main subdivision of Internet addresses the last three letters after the final dot and it tells you what kind of organization you are dealing with In the context of Active Directory every host is a member of a domain A user logs in to the domain of which he is a member A system for converting host names and domain names into IP addresses on the Internet or on local networks that use the TCP IP protocol For example when a Web site address is given to the DNS DNS servers return the IP address of the server associated with that name EACL Enterprise Access Control List FPACL Factory Partners Access Control List FQDN GSS API SCS Su

4. Configuration Parameters per Device The SCS maintains two lists of Intel AMT devices A list of device information entered into the database by the administrator provided by a script or entered by external calls to the API Each entry relates a specific Intel AMT device defined by its UUID and FQDN to a Profile and an Active Directory storage location The SCS Console displays and manages this list with the Configuration Parameters branch of the tree e A list of Intel AMT devices that have sent Hello messages to the SCS These devices may have been configured or not The administrator can update the configuration of one or all of the already configured devices among other operations The console performs these functions and manages the list from the Intel AMT Systems branch of the tree This section describes the Configuration Parameters features The opening screen shows a list of Intel AMT devices that are known to the SCS service A device requires an entry in this database table for the SCS service to complete setup and configuration If there is no entry configuration will not complete due to the lack of critical setup information The SCS may be configured to acquire the necessary Intel AMT device information using a script that executes when the SCS receives a Hello message In this case the script will create an entry in the table for the device Viewing Defined Intel AMT Devices To view a list of Intel AMT Devi

96. es FQDN of the Intel AMT enabled machines that are being configured Intel AMT devices must be configured to have the same FQDN as the host OS This stems from the fact the Intel AMT device is not a secure DNS client and it relies on the host OS to maintain the DNS record For this reason the Intel AMT device snoops the DHCP requests and responses issued by the host OS The Intel AMT device then uses the IP provided by the DHCP to the host OS as its own When the host OS is down the Intel AMT device requests DNS registration of its con figured FQDN from the DHCP option 81 This works only if the DNS and DHCP are configured to operate in this way This is a default feature of Microsoft DNS and DHCP servers When an Intel SCS contacts a configured Intel AMT device it uses the FQDN of the Intel AMT device When using TLS and or Kerberos this is essential as the platform and the Intel AMT device are identified in certificates and Kerberos tickets with the FQDN This necessitates that the DNS server contain a Host A record for every configured Intel AMT device This is the responsibility of the Administrator There are several methods to do this Manual entry of the Host A record e A successful boot of the host OS that registers a DNS entry with the same name This method is good as long as the IP lease and DNS entry are maintained e Configure DNS and DHCP to enable AMT use of option 81 Intel AMT SCS Installation And User Manual
