Hi,

please refer to External Trusts to Active Directory [1] from WIndows Integration guide, it nicely explains the difference between external trust and forest trust.

Sorry for my unspecific initial question. I did read the documentation. As I understood it the external trust somehow isolates the view on that particular domain.

If DomA_Trust is a normal one and DomB_Trust an external one I cannot use DomB users in a DomA group for example, right? If DomB trust was not external I could do that?

I think you need to start with Active Directory design and
documentation. In particular, group types in AD define who can be
included into them and how they can be consumed:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security/identity-protection/access-control/active-directory-security-groups

Type of trust between domains influences the use of groups but group
scopes are ultimate ones here.

When applying that to a trust between IPA and AD, remember that we only
have two trust types:

 - forest trust: IPA domain is in a separate forest than any AD domain

 - external trust: only immediately trusted AD domain users and groups
   can be seen and used for authentication across the trust, there is no
   transitivity into any other trust that this AD domain may have
   anywhere else

In addition to that, while forest trust in itself is transitive to
domains in the trusting forest, there is no transitivity across all
trusting forests. If forest A trusts forest B and forest B trusts forest
C, there is no trust from forest A to any domain in forest C.

The same applies to groups from those forests as well, complicated by
the group scopes.
