User Guide for Cisco Secure ACS for Windows Server
78-14696-01, Version 3.1
If your domains are Windows 2000 domains, Cisco Secure ACS can take
advantage of indirect trusts for Windows authentication. Consider the example of
Windows 2000 domains A, B, and C, where Cisco Secure ACS resides on a
Windows 2000 server in domain A. Domain A trusts domain B, but no trust
relationship is established between domain A and domain C. If domain B trusts
domain C, the Cisco Secure ACS server in domain A can authenticate users
whose accounts reside in domain C, making use of the indirect trust of domain C.
For more information on trust relationships, refer to your Microsoft Windows
NT/2000 documentation.
