Domain Security
When a user logs on to a Remote Annex, to one of its ports, or to a network,
the system performs authentication based on the security parameters you
enter. Once you set the parameters that enable a type of security:
• The system checks the Windows NT
®
user name and password.
• If you selected Global Group Authentication and chose groups
for remote access in the Server Tools Options windows, the
system performs additional authentication. If the user name and
password are valid, the system determines whether the user is a
member of any groups you select.
Support for Multiple Domains
Remote Annex Server Tools for Windows NT
®
can authenticate users
from domains other than the default domain of the security server. To
facilitate this feature, the Windows NT
®
administrator must establish at
least a one-way trust relationship.
A trusting domain controller can be linked to one or more trusted domain
controllers. When a cross-domain authentication request arrives at the
(trusting) domain controller, the request is transferred to the appropriate
(trusted) domain controller. The domain security of the trusted controller
accounts manager database includes the user in question and
authenticates that user.
