I think I need to try it out. Do I need to use NT domain (CSS account) account to access SQL databases. Both for source and endpoint servers? Can I make CSS use SQL Accounts Where the import process runs? will it run on the endpoint or will the source CSS exports and imports. We are planning point-to-point topology Thanks again Purush Ravi,

May be you can give a try of running the source and destination in two different domain accounts (which are not in trust) - literally the source & destination accounts should have R/W access to a folder and the source should able to connect/talk to destination.

Is XML file is written to a DMZ server (share) via port 507? Does it require authentication to write? Is it configurable in destination setting? eg: DMZ-DOMAIN\CSSUser and pwd: cleartext From your documentation: "Based on the destination settings, the source CSS informs all destination CSS systems about the execution so that they are aware and do the necessary imports" – Can CSS communicate to a server running on untrusted domian Hi Ravi,

You can leverage way point server to achieve this goal. You have to check with your network team to get access to a server where it has access to both environments. Purush,

DMZ and LAN are not trusted domains. I want to know how CSS will work in this case. Thanks Purush Hi Ravi,
