Add an Implicitly Trusted Domain

In some cases, you may want to use an implicitly trusted domain when creating security profiles that is, a domain that is not in the directly calculated list. To enable this type of domain, the Security Profiles dialog lets you add and remove authorities, but only within the Windows NT name-space (winnt).

To add an implicitly trusted domain

1. Select Security Profiles from the Security menu.

   The Security Profiles dialog appears.

   Note: You must have the access rights to open this dialog; otherwise, a security error message is displayed. Administrators (on Windows) and root (on UNIX) have these access rights by default.

2. Click Add.

   The Add Security Profiles dialog appears.

3. Click Add.

   The Add Implicitly Trusted Authority dialog appears.

4. Enter the name of the implicitly trusted domain and click OK.

   The specified domain is added to the list of available authorities.

Note: Adding a domain to the authorities list does not confer trust to that domain; this is enforced by the operating system. You cannot add a domain to this list and have the manager trust this domain unless the underlying operating system already trusts the domain in question.
