Can anyone help on whether it is possible to implement common DeltaV security across two DeltaV Zones? If not directly possible, does DeltaV allow for a separate Domain controller / Active Directory (e.g. the corporate domain controller OR a Syncade server) to host the users and the users at both the Zones are authenticated at the separate domain controller?

As far as I know, there is not a built-in way to have common DeltaV credentials. I could see setting something up for the Windows users, but for DeltaV it would have to be a custom application. Additionally, there are security settings that are local to your individual DeltaV database - I'm not sure how you would synchronize that setup data across Zones.
Hi Alok, the way to implement common security is to have a common domain forest with DeltaV zones being child domain within that forest.
