Can I integrate more than one Active Directory in Sitecore's Security?

Question

Our Sitecore 7.2 instance uses the Active Directory Module to facilitate user management. We are about to give access to another office to our site, which uses a different instance of Active Directory.

Can I add more than one Active Directory to our instance? Do I just have to add another entry under in the Web.config, or it is more tricky than that?

Answer 1

Yes, you should be able to add more AD to your Sitecore application.

Here is Active Directory Module 1.2 for CMS 7.2 - 8.0 Administrator's Guide.

Check the 2.1.3 Modifying the Config Files section. It says:

You can define a number of connection strings in the <connectionStrings>element.
