Hi Tobias, The article in the URL only shows how to setup the Secondary Server to Active directory authentication.
It does not mention anyhint about how the applications, or application groups (or thinclients if applicable) will be assigned to the Secondary Directory authenticated user/group. What i am trying to understand is simply this: OTC setup to read user and group info from secondary dir. server, which authentication works and user logsin to the desktop. However, there is no application or app. group setup, or assigned to the authenticated user/group (because you mentioned we DONT need to create the groups or users in the OTC manually to correspond Therefore there is no application on the desktop of the logged in user. The article says nothing about on how to go about managing the secondary directory server authenticated users application (or app. group) assignment. The only way i can figure is to assign the applications to the thinclient, which then the secondary dir. authenticated user will read application indo from the thinclient's assignments - which is obviously a bad exercise. I got the tone from ongoing discussions that assigning applications/app. groups to secondary dir. authenticated users are trivial. Article says nothing about it and I am feeling lost on how to go about assigning application-groups or applications to these externally authenticated users. would appreciate if you can clarify. cheers!
