"domain_list can be used to explicitly specify domain controllers."

Can anyone explain how to implement this? I can't find instructions in the release notes.

Hi there,

This is how you can implement the domain_list after patch 1441. Your domain_list entry under iwserver section currently looks something like this.

[iwserver]
domain_list=domain1,domain2

This can now be changed after applying patch 1441 as below.

[iwserver]
domain_list=domain1:domaincontrollerservername,domain2

This will force TeamSite to authenticate users/groups from a particular domain (domain1) to a particular domain controller (domaincontrollerservername) rather than going to the primary domain controller. Here domaincontrollerservername is a replicated domain controller of domain1. domain2 will continue to authenticate to its primary domain controller.

On good example to implement this is as follows:
• Your TeamSite server is in Europe domain.
• Some of the TeamSite users are in Europe & some are in Asia Pacific.
• In this case TeamSite will keep authenticating all users/groups to domain controller in Europe & Asia Pacific, which might cause some delay based on network.
• Now with patch 1441, you can force TeamSite to authenticate Asia Pacific user to a replicated Asia Pacific domain controller in Europe, thereby reducing the time taken to authenticate users/groups across the network.

We have implemented this on our TeamSite server running on Windows.
