Restrict Membership to Configured Realms
Select this check box to restrict group lookups to configured realms only. A user can be in a configured realm but belong to a group in an unconfigured realm. If this check box is unchecked, that user cannot log on because the system cannot look up all the user's group memberships. If this check box is checked, group memberships in unconfigured realms are ignored. This selection is available for all directory providers, but has no effect for ADAM because ADAM does not support cross-domain group membership.
