Our customer wants to use their existing active directory to authenticate users on a new WSS 3.0 server. The company is using several domains.
I have read this thread sharepoint-wss-authentication-across-multiple-domains but it does not give me the information on how to set up the sync-connection. Ive seen on meny places that AD sync is only available in MOSS 2007, but is this true?
For authentication, you won't have a problem as long as the domains are all trusted - basically if the windows server will accept a login from that domain, sharepoint will work with it also.
For profile information, the out of box import goes into mysites, which is a MOSS only feature. However, there is no reason you can't write your own code to pull data from AD to WSS user profiles.
