Trusts

A trust is a relationship established between domains that enables users in one domain to be authenticated by a domain controller in the other domain. Trust relationships in Windows NT are different than in Windows 2000 and Windows Server 2003 operating systems.

Trusts in Windows NT

In Windows NT 4.0 and earlier, trusts are limited to two domains and the trust relationship is one-way and nontransitive. In the following figure, the nontransitive, one-way trust is shown by the straight arrow pointing to the trusted domain.

Trusts in Windows Server 2003 and Windows 2000 Server operating systems

All trusts in a Windows 2000 and Windows Server 2003 forest are transitive, two-way trusts. Therefore, both domains in a trust relationship are trusted. As shown in the following figure, this means that if Domain A trusts Domain B and Domain B trusts Domain C, then users from Domain C can access resources in Domain A (when assigned the proper permissions). Only members of the Domain Admins group can manage trust relationships.

Trust protocols

A domain controller running Windows Server 2003 authenticates users and applications using one of two protocols: Kerberos V5 or NTLM. The Kerberos V5 protocol is the default protocol for computers running Windows 2000, Windows XP Professional, or Windows Server 2003. If any computer involved in a transaction does not support Kerberos V5, the NTLM protocol will be used.

With the Kerberos V5 protocol, the client requests a ticket from a domain controller in its account domain to the server in the trusting domain. This ticket is issued by an intermediary trusted by the client and the server. The client presents this trusted ticket to the server in the trusting domain for authentication. For more information, see Kerberos V5 authentication.

When a client tries to access resources on a server in another domain using NTLM authentication, the server containing the resource must contact a domain controller in the client account domain to verify the account credentials.

Trusted domain objects

Trusted domain objects (TDOs) are objects that represent each trust relationship within a particular domain. Each time a trust is established a unique TDO is created and stored (in the System container) in its domain. Attributes such as a trust transitivity, type, and the reciprocal domain names are represented in a TDO.

Forest trust TDOs store additional attributes to identify all of the trusted namespaces from its partner forest. These attributes include domain tree names, user principal name (UPN) suffixes, service principal name (SPN) suffixes, and security ID (SID) namespaces.
