Alternative 2: Connect Sites From Different Domains
To make it possible to connect sites across domains, it is very important that these domains are trusted by each other.
Setting up domains to trust each other has nothing to do with federated architecture but is entirely a matter of
Microsoft Windows Domain configuration.
For further information on how to set up trusted domains, see Microsoft website:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc961481.aspx
(
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc961481.aspx
).
1. When the domains, on which the sites you want to connect to each other in a federated architecture, are
trusted correctly, follow the same instructions as if only one domain was present (see Alternative 1).
Alternative 3. Connect Sites in Workgroup(s)
When you connect sites inside workgroups, it is an important prerequisite for federated architecture to work correctly
that the same administrator account is present on all computers you want connected in the federated architecture.
This must be in place before installing RC-E.
1. Log in to
Windows
using a common administrator account.
2.
Start the management server installation (see "Install Management Server" on page 13) and click
Custom
.
3.
Select to install the Management Server service using a common administrator account.
4.
Finish the installation.
5.
Repeat steps 1-4 to install any other RC-E systems you want to connect. They must all be installed
using a common administrator account.
6.
See Adding a Site to the Hierarchy (see "Manage OnSSI Federated Architecture" on page 177) for
details on how to proceed.
