Implementing UNAB in a Trusted Domains Environment

When you install UNAB, you specify the parameters of the domain UNAB will register with. After installing, registering and activating UNAB, you migrate users and groups into the domain.

If the domain that you specified has established trust relationships with other domains, users from those domains can potentially have access to computers in the domain that UNAB is a member of.

This diagram displays a UNAB implementation in a trusted domains environment:

In the previous diagram UNAB is installed in a domain that has established a trust connection with other domains. In this environment, users from a trusted domain can access the other domain although these users are not members of that domain.

Consider the following before you install UNAB in a trusted domains environment:

• The UNAB login policy controls access to computer in the domain based on user names. If multiple users have identical user names and are defined in more than one domain, UNAB cannot distinguish the domain of origin of the users and grants access to the domain.
• You can generate reports only for the domain that UNAB is a member of. You cannot generate reports for the trusted domains.
• You can migrate users to Active Directory that are defined in the domain UNAB is a member of.

We recommend that you maintain unique user and group names to prevent access from unauthorized users of trusted domains.
