Not sure why we'd have to do that. As long as cross forest support is setup and clients in DEV and UAT are supported by the PROD Primary Site.
Why not create domain local security groups for each domain. The collections are query based and look for members of the corresponding AD user or computer group. DEV security groups get DEV Apps UAT security groups get UAT Apps Same thing with PROD.

So you'll have to add an Application Catalog in DEV and another in UAT and configure client settings for each. Once in place you can then target the appropriate User collection(s) with applications to appear in the Application Catalog. The Application Catalog can live on the site server in UAT and DEV I would imagine. Unless you have thousands of users using these sites, in which case you might want to move the Application Catalog website and web service point roles to a separate server.

Does the App Catalog need to present PROD apps in the DEV/UAT environment, or do you just need the Application Catalog from any site?

My primary site resides in my PROD environment. I have a use case to provide Application Catalog support in DEV and UAT. There are NO Trusts setup between the 3 environments. Would it be easier to manage clients cross-forest using the App Catalog in the PROD domain or build out additional site systems in DEV and UAT that host the Application Catalog website? To me, the easiest solution would be to use collection structure for users in each environment DEV/UAT/PROD and target app deployments/publishing to app catalog based off the collection design that will query a domain local security group in each environment. Can someone give me some ideas on the best way to tackle this? Thanks, Brian
