Coming Soon: Control Center and Microsoft Active Directory

The one hour-long class begins with an overview of HiveMQ Control Center, a vital tool for monitoring and maintaining a deployed HiveMQ system, and Microsoft Active Directory, a service providing LDAP directory services, Kerberos-based authentication, and more. Students will learn how to utilize the HiveMQ Enterprise Security Extension to handle LDAP authentication and authorization, ensuring enterprise-level security features.

The class delves into the technical aspects of setting up the Active Directory, managing user access, configuring the Enterprise Security Extension (ESE), and implementing fine-grained access control for Control Center. Practical exercises include configuring multiple LDAP instances, working with various attributes like "samAccountName" and "userPrincipalName," and troubleshooting using tools like 'ldapsearch.'

By the end of the session, students will have mastered the art of securing HiveMQ Control Center with robust authentication and authorization, leveraging enterprise-grade security features, and tailoring security setups to specific organizational needs. This course is ideal for those aspiring to become experts in IoT security, network administration, and enterprise-grade operations.
