From: chosmer on 6 Feb 2010 09:18 Sharepoint + Trusts + People PickerQuestion: I have a sharepoint vendor who is trying to sell me Sharepoint Services. I currently run an Active Directory 2003 Native domain with a handful of users who need to use the Vendor's sharepoint services. They contend that they require the following: 1) A one way external trust whereby their domain trusts mine. (I agree with that) 2) An account on our domain. (There is nothing in the MSFT docs I see that require this) They refer to the following article about the People Picker application in Sharepoint. I have read the article and verified that the STSADM.exe script seems to use an account in some cases. (Article here : http://blogs.msdn.com/rajank/default.aspx) When I asked about the account properties and the reason for its existence, they refer to the Microsoft Bilge on the benefits of Single-Sign-On, not having the users continually authenticating, yadayadayada. From what Ive read, the only other choice they have is Forms Authentication...which is painful for them to setup. So....my question is.... Do I truly need to give access to an account in my domain to achive single sign on? If so, what are the minimal rights required on that account?
