Hello again,
Generally on something like this, you would have a separate forest with a
trust back to the parent corporation. Then you'd work through the issues on
FM to make it accessible by both. I haven't worked with FM in years, so I
can't be of much help there, but I do know that it can be used through other
authentication methods -- like exposing it to web users. You may have to
look at the overall solution and offer the FM as a service like you would to
an external partner or an end consumer.
I guess, I am saying that there isn't an easy path here, but that you can
get through this by maintaining corporate security and making services
available as external resources. Of course, you could merger your internal
IT and do it that way, but that is a business decision that sounds like it
has already been been made.
Cheers,
