Answer:
the synergy client machine doesn't need to be on a domain to connect to a server because the login authentication is performed on the server.

the client machine could be on an entirely different domain to the server and it will still be able to connect - provided the synergy login credentials you use are valid on the server.

a domain may be necessary where you spread the db server and engine servers amongst several machines because all server machines need access to the same login credentials. If all the server functions are located on the same machine then there may be no need for the server to be on a domain.

the benefit of being on a domain is that the domain controller handles authentication and changes to logins - compared with a workgroup where if you want a shared pool of user names you need to add all users to each machine.

Hi,

We have contractors that use our VPN to remotely control a local machine. They use it to start a Continuus client, get their source etc.

The reasons given for this were that IT didn't want to have offshore machines on the domain (or it couldn't be done).

My questions are:
1. If using VPN then can ANY client connect and use the main Synergy Server or does the machine have to be on the domain.
2. I've been told that the Compact Client machine doesn't have to be on the domain. Is this the case since the only difference is the engine installation (I think).
3. Is it the case that a compact client machine doesn't have to be part of a domain but the machine running the engine does.

I'm getting confused...
Cheers
Jim
