Did you write the custom filter? If so, have it dump what it is doing to debug and watch it. I would be a little shocked if trust passwords were being sent through the PasswordFilter function.   Heh, me guessing wasn't good enough, I just tested it on K3 OEM with one of my own custom filter

Unless something has changed in the Password Filter implementation lately, I believe that Computer password changes do not hit the PasswordFilter. At least, that routine did not get called when using the passfilt I got from MS a long time ago. I haven't used this lately and the behavior may have

2005-01-06 Thread Renouf, Phil
If both domains are single domain forests then a Forest trust isn't as big a deal since it's major selling point is that the trust is transitive. I suppose that you also would be able to use Kerberos for cross forest authentication, which is a nice feature that I don't believe is available in exter

Hi David, In addition to SID filtering, you can protect a trust between domains in two forests (either a forest trust or an external trust) by using selective authentication (SA). SA is sometimes called authentication firewall, and the idea is that only listed users can access only listed serve

[ActiveDir] Forest trusts vs trusts within forests

Happy New Year ! I'm having a design discussion with myself about adding a forest vs adding a domain to an existing forest. I understand about the automatic transitive trust between domains in a forest, and how it's possible for a clever domain admin in a subdomain to compromise the entire forest.
