A VPN tunnel only gives you a "secure connection" between two routers and
those two subnets behind the VPN router. It is not related to any domain,
either UNIX or Windows.
If you want to set up domain login from one side of VPN to another side, you
need the following things:
1. A Microsoft Windows server running as Primary Domain Controller (NT) and
Active Directory Server (2000 and 2003) on the other side
2. Your machine need to be joined to that domain
or
3. You have a Windows server running as Primary Domain Controller (NT) and
Active Directory Server (2000 and 2003) on your side
4. Create a Domain Trust Relationship between these two domains.
Remember, you can only log in / join to one and only one domain at a time.
So either your machine should join the domain on the other side Windows
Server behind VPN router, or you need make two Windows domain trust each
other.
You need check Microsoft's web site for more information about this issue.
It is not related to VPN. You can have no VPN connection but still login to
other domain, but the data transmission is not secure.
Hopefully this is useful.

| Quote: | Our company wanted some workers to work remotely. Both our offices have
DHCP
assigned addresses so we bought to Linksys vpn routers and configured a
tunnel between them. Everything works great (according to the log), but
what
now? Does tunneling in from one router to another make me a member of the
remote domain? Should I then start the Microsoft wizard for creating a vpn
connection? I'd like to log into the domain. I'm a newbie but fairly
technically inclined. Any useful suggestions would be welcome?
