What about simply setting up cross-domain trusts?  Wouldn't that work?
Right now, our Citrix servers are in 1 domain and our users are in another
domain.

Subject: [THIN] Supporting other domain's users


Hey all,
 
Environment is Win NT TSE/MetaFrame XPe.
 
Currently supporting only users in a single domain.  This company is a
subsidiary, and would like some of the users in other domains to be able to
access these Citrix servers.  The current environment requires them to have
another userid, and they would like to get away from that.  Active directory
is currently being rolled out.
 
Here are the issues that immediately came to mind that I have to deal with.
Some of these are simple, others I'm not sure.  Anyone else been down this
road and can offer any insight/advice?
 
User build scripts 
Roaming Profiles & "Windows NT Profile" setting in User Manager, "User
Profile" in the Terminal Services Profile tab of AD Users/Groups. Potential
conflict with other Citrix or Terminal Server environments.
Drive mappings. I don't know if drive mappings are consistent throughout the
domains or not. Some applications rely on specific mappings(dependent on
app). 
Weekly maintenance scripts
Citrix Policies - using global groups
ICA Connection Permissions 
Published Application Permissions (and the related security request
procedures as well)
For application specific stuff I'd have to review each app
NFuse page would require entry of domain 
Directory security related to Citrix groups (if any)
 
Thanks!
