5.1.2.1.1 Benefits and Use Cases

Benefits

• Cross-domain Authentication: Enables user login from a remote domain without establishing a trust relationship between domains.

• Secure Access Control: The AD domain controller maintains exclusive responsibility for credential control and integrity, with Thinfinity Workspace remaining separate from this process.

• Ease of Integration: Integrating domain users and groups into Thinfinity Workspace assignment and association framework is as simple as associating the domain, requiring no changes to the core domain structure or policies.

• Scalable Architecture: Suitable for both small deployments and large scale enterprise rollouts.

Use Cases

• Cloud-On Premise Hybrid environments: Useful in hybrid environments where Thinfinity Workspace is hosted in the cloud or DMZ and must connect to an in-companyAD.

• Multi Domain Environments: Supports enterprises that operate with multiple AD domains without centralized trust.

• MSPs and SaaS scenarios: Allows service providers to authenticate users against their own organizational ADs.
