Multiple AD Domains posted: Oct 16, 2009 5:58 AM

Good Afternoon,

Does anyone know if it is possible to configure Orchestrator so that users in multiple child domains of a single forest can access the application? I have tried setting my LDAP paths to the root domain, but it only appears to work if I set my paths to the child domain in which the accounts are defined.

Any help appreciated,

Dave.

This should work but the root AD needs to be a Global Catalog server. In this case, the GC will issue LDAP referrals to the proper child DC for authentication.

Is the user fred directly part of the vcoAdmins group? or 'via' others groups?
It should work. If your domain is configured as a Tree. The referrals is not working if domains are part of the same forest but not of the same tree.

How did you configure the vCenter 4.0 plugin? To be able to see VMs, you must add vCenters servers in it. If you use default configuration when adding a vCenter server, the user that is accessing vCenter must not be the same than the user accessing vCO

Could you try to use a Group from the main flintstone.org domain?
