One Username for Two Domains

[Lissy Alvarez]

Hello Guys,
Here is my scenario I had Two Domain and we established a Trust Domain
Relationship between them in two way mode.

Domain 1:
Name: TestDomain1 (This is the main domain)
Server: Windows 2003 enterprise
Location: New York city
Workstations: Windows 2000+Windows XP

Domain 2:
Name: TestDomain2
Server: Windows 2003 enterprise
Workstations: Windows 2000+Windows XP
Locations: Los Angeles

My Question:
It's possible that user from TestDomain1 can log on the server from
TestDomain2 with his own userID + password from his local domain TestDomain1?!
and the other way round?


Thanks in advance!!!

Hello,

this is a newsgroup for software development with the .NET framework, not a
general windows newsgroup.

That said, having a trust between two domain merely means that
authentication should work on either domain. That does not mean that a
person has the permission to log on to a specific server. One must have the
permission. Take a look at the domain security policy (or Domain Controller
security policy if you want to configure access to Domain controllers),
specifically the local securty rights assignment. There is an entry called
"Right to log on locally" or "Allowed to log on locally". Only persons
listed here are allowed to log on the server.

Kind regards,
Henning Krause
