IDM in SCIF environment and integrated DNS.
I am looking to test IDM in a SCIF type scenario as a proof of concept for a centralized authentication solution for one of our government customers. Since it is a closed network I will install with the integrated DNS option. However, I need to test this in our corporate network lab that already has an external DNS.
If I still set this up with the integrated DNS, am I correct I can assign it a seperate domain such as .IDM.company.com and not have it interfere with the corporate DNS?
Thanks

Hi Robert,
IDM can be configured with a separate DNS, although one customer I work with has IDM with it’s own DNS and then they point to the corporate DNS for things external to IDM, and then with their corporate DNS, they have something pointing back in their corporate DNS to IDM for IDM-related things (I can perhaps add more later, I’m working at a different location at the moment).
ADDED/EDITED: yes, the IDM domain can certainly be different in principle as you describe. One customer I know has done this.
Kind Regards, -RJ

If you're looking to propose something for use on an isolated network (as would be typical of what runs in a SCIF), you might be doing yourself a favor to set up your demonstration within a virtual isolated network (easy enough to do in, say, AWS with a non-routed VPC or private vSwitch in vSphere).
