Multiple Domains and Directories

Version

Key Points

Allow authentication from multiple LDAP directories or AD domains
Support AD domains from different forests
No additional configuration required on the target directories or domains

Integrate with completely separate Active Directory domains or LDAP directories for authentication, without the need to configure additional trust or referral relationships.

For either technical reasons or business reasons (for example, a merger between organizations), many directory services employ multiple domains. EO.workspace (EOW) integration with AD allows organizations to reuse their existing directory infrastructure to easily manage user permissions and access in an EO.workspace environment.

This feature allows a single EO.workspace environment to use multiple Active Directory domains or LDAP directories for authentication without requiring the configuration of any additional trust or referral relationships between them. Simply configure the additional domains/directories through the Administration Console. At login, users specify their full username, including the domain part, so that the authentication request is routed to the appropriate AD Domain Controller or LDAP server.
