Hi All,
We have two ACS 5.3 appliances in Sync mode with some local users, devices, groups, etc. I need to join the ACS to the Active Directory. I have a couple of questions, can you help me please?
1) We have one Parent Domain and three child domians, I need client from all three child domains to be able to authenticate on ACS, should I join the ACS to the parent Domain, or is it possible to connect ACS to three child domains?
2) Will joining ACS to the AD affect the current (local) configuration, will the local users somehow lose access to some devices, or some devices will disappear? Or is it a safe procedure?
3) Another quick question, I can access the WEB UI, but cannot SSH (putty) using the same credentials, am I doing anything wrong?
Thanks!

1) Join it to the parent domain and you can authenticate from parent and child both.
-- Parent and child have default two way trust which is what is needed.
2) No, and it is safe.
3) SSH creds are different than the web GUI.
this is usually set when you install the ACS software.
if you forgot it, perform password recovery using the DVD.
