Identity sources - AD integrated - mutliple domains

  • 1.  Identity sources - AD integrated - mutliple domains

    Posted Apr 23, 2020 08:39 PM

    I currently have 3 domains that I have individual ldap identity sources:

    college.edu

    business.college.edu

    busdom.college.edu

    I would like to switch from using lpa as an identity source to using AD Integrated. From what I have been reading this would be pretty straightforward as long as my VCenter server is domain joined. This would make sense if I only had 1 domain. How would this work with multiple domains?

    For example, to do this, I would add the VCenter server to the busdom.college.edu domain. Would users from the college.edu or the business.college.edu domain be able to authenticate? (I would remove ldap identity sources from all domains). I read somewhere that they would as long as they log with <domain>\username or username@<domain>. Is that correct?

    Thanks,

    Jim
