We have a client who has 3 (three) AD forests. Is it possible to have one ACS server authenticate VPN users from all these forests using their AD credentials?
If yes, please provide the URL link of the document that has details about the above configuration.
Regards
Raj

Support for LDAP authentication with Microsoft AD forests containing multiple trees relies exclusively on the approach described above. Therefore, support is limited to deployments where the UPN suffix of a user corresponds to the root domain of the tree where the user resides. If the UPN suffix is disjointed from the actual namespace of the tree, it is not possible to authenticate Cisco Unified CallManager users against the entire Microsoft Active Directory forest. (It is, however, still possible to use a different attribute as user ID and limit the integration to a single tree within the forest.)
