22. Passwords the Achilles Heel of SSO
January 25, 2012

24. MCITP Certificate Forest Schema Cross-forest Authentication
January 24, 2012
But if for some reason these two independent structures had to merge or needed com- plete access to each other?s resources, they could form a ?forestwide?trust. This means one forest would trust each other in its entirety, and each forest would be able to use the other?s authentication scheme.
In theory (and sometimes in practice), this is a good idea, because it really does ease the effort of having MCITP Administrator to administer two different structures. Effectively, they almost become one, because administrators can more easily de?ne trusts and access. However, most of the time, adm... (read more)
