AD Trust Settings

In the Trusts tab, you can set up trust relationships between this new AD domain and any existing domains. A trust relationship allows resources to be accessible by authenticated users across domains. Trust relationships can be incoming, outgoing, bidirectional, or disabled. You should set up trust relationships if you want AD modules that represent different forests in AD to be able to access information from each other. The trusts you configure in CC-SG should match the trusts configured in AD.

  1. Click the Trusts tab. If you have configured more than one AD domain, all other domains are listed in the Trusts tab.
  2. For each domain in the Trust Partner column, click the Trust Direction drop-down menu, and then select the direction of trust you want to establish between the domains. Trust directions are updated in all AD modules when you make changes to one AD module.
  3. Click Apply to save your changes, and then click OK to save the AD module and exit the window.

    The new AD module appears in the Security Manager screen under External AA Servers.

  4. Select the Authentication checkbox if you want CC-SG to use the AD module for authentication of users. Select the Authorization checkbox if you want CC-SG to use the AD module for authorization of users.
  5. Click Update to save your changes.
  6. Click the General tab then click Test Connection to verify your settings. You should receive a confirmation of a successful connection. If you do not see a confirmation, review the settings carefully for errors and try again.
