Abstract

A data replication mechanism is proposed that relies on existing federation infrastructure enabling distributed authentication instead of storing and using explicit credentials for a remote forest. The data replication mechanism requests a federation token with data replication capabilities targeted to the remote forest and passes this token to the remote forest in lieu of explicit credentials.
