Currently we are able to add users/groups from the customers local domain in the DMS, but we want to also add users/groups from a remote domain.
The local domain is linked to the remote domain via a domain trust, and that is working fine. Users from the remote domain can already login on Windows level. However, we do not find these users in DMS when we try and add these remote users/groups.
Are there some extra configurations that need to be done on the server in order to get these remote users/groups added in the DMS?
Hi, I am working on this topic from system integrator side.
We do have bi-directional domain trust realtionship configured for the domains as mentioned by Stacey. User from Domain A (remote) can already be used on systems in Domain B (local) and vice versa. This is the case for OS level login.
Before configuring anything in DataMiner we are able to add users from Domain B (local). After configuring the LDAP setting of Domain A (remote) we are able to add users from Domain A as well, but not from Domain B anymore. Login is then possible for users from both domains.
- How can DataMiner be enabled to add users from Domain B again?
- Are account changes (like password changes, deletion of a user) in both domains also synchronized with DataMiner in this scenario?
- Is there a way to get users from both domains displayed in "add user" window?
I do not yet fully understand, where the difference is with a user logging in on OS level and a user logging in to DataMiner. My understanding is, that DataMiner relies on the same Windows authentification mechanism.
