Dear Radhika, You can configure multiple BMC AREA LDAP plugins and the only infrastructure requirement is the AR System needs to bind to the Active Directory via LDAP, so port 389. There is nothing complex in terms of trusts etc. and you must be careful to guard against 'user credential' leak.
If your clients are different organisations, the BMC AREA LDAP plugin will iterate through the list of configured ADs sending the user credentials to each. This means that company A could log all requests (ie username & password) and if there are three companies configured (A, B and C), company A can collect credentials for company B & C. So the management summary is, you don't want to deploy the BMC AREA LDAP if you're a multi-service provider with multiple clients.
