Advanced configuration 编辑

Director can support multi-forest environments spanning a forest configuration where users, Delivery Controllers (DCs), VDAs, and Directors are located in different forests. This requires proper setup of trust relationships among the forests and configuration settings.

Recommended configuration in a multi-forest environment

The recommended configuration requires creation of outgoing and incoming forest trust relationships among the forests with domain-wide authentication.

The trust relationship from the Director enables you to troubleshoot issues in user sessions, VDAs, and Delivery Controllers located in different forests.

Advanced configuration required for Director to support multiple forests is controlled through settings defined in Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager.

Important:

When you change a setting in IIS, the Director service automatically restarts and logs off users.

To configure advanced settings using IIS:

1. Open the Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager console.
2. Go to the Director website under the Default website.
3. Double-click Application Settings.
4. Double-click a setting to edit it.
5. Click Add to add a new setting.

Director uses Active Directory to search for users and to look up more user and machine information. By default, Director searches the domain or forest in which:

• The administrator’s account is a member.
• The Director web server is a member (if different).

Director attempts to perform searches at the forest level using the Active Directory global catalog. If you do not have permissions to search at the forest level, only the domain is searched.

Searching or looking up data from another Active Directory domain or forest requires that you explicitly set the domains or forests to be searched. Configure the following Applications setting to the Director website in the IIS Manager:

Connector.ActiveDirectory.Domains = (user),(server)
