It allows you to define codes of federation groups that can be assigned to the domains. The domains participating to the same groups, are “federated” in order to share users. If a user attempts to log in a domain on which his credentials do not exist, the system will automatically check if his credentials exist on one of the other “federated” domains and allows the login.
Therefore, the operation is similar to the federation among radiuses. In practice if the user is not found in domain A, he is searched by UserName (without the domain name) and Password in the domains with the same group and if he is present in domain B, the login is allowed. The user then will be logged in domain B starting from domain A and connection logs can be looked it up in the user data of the domain B.
In order to manage federation groups among domains, it is necessary to have permission to administer the domains.
