The Sample Environment for This Tutorial

This tutorial uses a sample Microsoft Windows system with an Active Directory domain named training and a Microsoft Server Message Block (SMB) network shared folder named Auth Tutorial Fileshare. The domain contains the user accounts and associated groups shown in the following table:

Table 1. Sample Domain Users and Groups
User	Developers	Human Resources	Marketing	Users
Joe CEO	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes
Joe Developer	Yes			Yes
Joe Marketing			Yes	Yes
Joe User				Yes

The following table shows the directories and associated permissions in this share:

Table 2. Sample Shared Directories and Group Permissions
Directory	Developers	Human Resources	Marketing	Users
\Development	Yes
\Human Resources		Yes
\Marketing			Yes
\Marketing and Development	Yes		Yes
\Public	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes

For the purposes of this tutorial, assume that each of the directories shown in the previous table contains a single HTML document whose content states who should be able to see that document, and contains the keyword test to provide a way to perform a single search that could potentially match all of these documents. This makes it easy to demonstrate the effects of integrated authorization, because searches performed as different users will match documents based on the access rights of those users.
