Access to SQL database from another domain

[surferdude7]

Let say that I had two domain setup, one called mydomain and the other called yourdomain. Both machines are running windows 2000 server and mydomain also has SQL server installed.

What would need to be setup for a user in one domain (yourdomain) to access the SQL server in another domain?(mydomain)

Setup a trust between the 2 domains.

After you setup the trust between the two domains, simply grant the user account from the other domain to your SQL Server.
