ACS4.2 Windows authentication to other trusted domain

per_2
Level 1
Level 1

I'm installing ACS4.2 in our lab domain and want to leverage the corporate domain for authentication.  The one way trust is in place, but there is a facet that I'm not clear on in regards to the installation requirement.

I'd like to install ACS on a lab domain member server, but I'm not sure that will work.  The installation docs seem to imply that a member server must be in the same domain as the authentication server, but its not very clear.

So the quesiton is: if I want to use the one way trust to the Corporate Domain, am I required to install ACS on the domain controller of the Lab Domain?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

As far as i understand a two way trust is a requirement with ACS.

Grant Dialin Permission to User

  • CSCdp01784

To use the Grant Dialin Permission to User feature, a two-way trust relationship must be established between the remote Windows NT domain and the CiscoSecure ACS for Windows NT server. This is a Windows NT issue. There is no workaround.






I'm not concerned about using the "Grant Dialin Permission to User".  Rather I'm looking to simply authenticate.  Can you positively confirm that a two-way trust is required?

I have ACS4.2 installed and working on a "lab" domain member server (not domain controller).  The lab has a one-way trust to the corporate domain and everything works just fine.
