Trust

Trusts are the mechanism that ensure that a user who is authenticated in his domain can access resources in my trusted domain.


Trust Type:-

1. Parent/Child Trust      --  Implicit & transitive
2. Tree/Root Trust         --  Implicit & transitive
3. Shortcut Trust            --  Explicit & partially transitive
4. Transitive Trust          --  automatically extend from one domain to an other domain
5. Non-Transitive Trust  --  not automatic, you must be set up
6. Implicit Trust              --  An automatic trust
7. Explicit Trust              --  Manually create trust
8. Forest Trust               --  Explicit & partially transitive
9. External Trust            --   Explicit & non-transitive
10. Realm Trust               --   Explicit & transitive or non-transitive(user choice)

Trusted Domain:-   Who is accessing the resources.

Trusting Domain:-   Who is providing the resources.


Trust Direction:-

In win 2003 server, there are 3 trust directions:-

1. One-way incoming
2. One-way outgoing
3. Two-way

Trusted Domain Objects:-

Each trust relationship in a domain is represented by an object knows as the Trusted Domain Object(TDO). The TDO stores information about the trust,such as trust type & trust Transitivity. Whenever you creat a trust, a new TDO is created & stored in the system container in the Trust's Domain.
