#Requires -Version 5.1 <# .SYNOPSIS ACL application module for Active Directory object ACL modifications .DESCRIPTION Provides focused ACL application functionality for safely applying modified ACLs to Active Directory objects. This module implements the "tool" pattern with proper error handling, retry logic, and comprehensive validation. This module focuses solely on ACL application to AD objects, enabling independent testing and reuse across different modification scenarios. .NOTES Author: Jeffrey Stuhr Blog: https://www.techbyjeff.net LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffrey-stuhr-034214aa/ Last Updated: 2025-01-27 Version: 1.0.0 PowerShell Version: 5.1+ (Windows), 7.x+ (Cross-platform) TROUBLESHOOTING: - For ACL application failures: .\Troubleshooting\Common\ACL-Application-Issues.md - For AD connectivity issues: .\Troubleshooting\Common\AD-Connection-Issues.md DEPENDENCIES: - Requires Logging.ps1 for Write-StructuredLog function - Requires Operations\Invoke-ADOperationWithRetry.ps1 for retry logic - Active Directory PowerShell module for Set-Acl cmdlet #> function Set-ModifiedACL { <# .SYNOPSIS Safely applies modified ACL to Active Directory objects .DESCRIPTION Applies ACL changes to AD objects with comprehensive validation, retry logic, and proper error handling. This function implements the "tool" pattern for focused ACL application with enterprise-grade reliability. The function includes: - Parameter validation before AD operations - Retry logic for transient AD failures - ShouldProcess support for WhatIf scenarios - Comprehensive logging with correlation tracking .PARAMETER ACL The modified Active Directory security descriptor to apply. Must be a valid System.DirectoryServices.ActiveDirectorySecurity object containing the desired ACL configuration. .PARAMETER ObjectDN Distinguished name of the target Active Directory object. Object must exist and be accessible with current credentials. .PARAMETER CorrelationId Unique identifier for tracking this ACL application operation across logs and audit trails. Generated automatically if not provided. .EXAMPLE PS> Set-ModifiedACL -ACL $modifiedAcl -ObjectDN "CN=TestUser,CN=Users,DC=contoso,DC=com" DESCRIPTION: Applies a modified ACL to a user object OUTPUT: Boolean indicating success (True) or failure (False) USE CASE: Basic ACL application after SID removal operations .EXAMPLE PS> $success = Set-ModifiedACL -ACL $acl -ObjectDN $dn -CorrelationId $correlationId if ($success) { Write-Output "ACL applied successfully" } DESCRIPTION: Programmatic ACL application with result validation OUTPUT: Boolean result for conditional processing USE CASE: Automation workflows with error handling .EXAMPLE PS> Set-ModifiedACL -ACL $acl -ObjectDN $dn -WhatIf DESCRIPTION: Preview mode showing what ACL would be applied OUTPUT: False (no changes made) with detailed logging USE CASE: Validation and approval workflows .OUTPUTS [bool] True if ACL was successfully applied, False otherwise. Detailed status information is available through structured logging. .NOTES RELIABILITY FEATURES: - Parameter validation before AD operations - Retry logic with exponential backoff for transient failures - Comprehensive error handling and logging - ShouldProcess support for safe operations PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS: - Application Time: 100-500ms per object typically - Retry Logic: Up to 3 attempts with backoff - Memory Usage: Minimal - direct ACL application SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS: - Requires appropriate AD permissions for ACL modification - All operations logged with correlation IDs for audit trails - Validates ACL structure before application TROUBLESHOOTING: - For permission errors: Verify AD modification rights - For connectivity issues: Check AD server availability - For validation failures: Ensure ACL object integrity #> [CmdletBinding(SupportsShouldProcess)] [OutputType([bool])] param( [Parameter(Mandatory)] [ValidateNotNull()] [PSObject]$ACL, [Parameter(Mandatory)] [ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()] [string]$ObjectDN, [Parameter()] [string]$CorrelationId = [System.Guid]::NewGuid().ToString() ) try { Write-StructuredLog "Starting ACL application to $ObjectDN" -Level Verbose -CorrelationId $CorrelationId # Validate ACL parameter before processing if (-not $ACL) { throw "ACL parameter must not be null" } # Validate ObjectDN parameter if ([string]::IsNullOrWhiteSpace($ObjectDN.Trim())) { throw "ObjectDN parameter cannot be empty or whitespace" } # Security validation -
