Function 3

Name:  Shared resources access management

Description:  Since two or more Active Directory domains within the same forest are implicitly connected by two-way, transitive trusts, authentication requests made from one domain to another are successfully routed in order to provide a seamless coexistence of resources across domains. Users can only gain access to resources in other domains after first being authenticated in their own domain.
