Composite domain users logging into Business Directory are authenticated against the remote TDV Server. For this to work, the remote TDV Server must be active.

Changes to the user access profiles made on the composite domain are not immediately applied to Business Directory. For example, if a user is removed on the remote TDV, this is not reflected in the Business Directory server until the next site refresh. Users might still be able to log into the Business Directory server.

When multiple sites are defined in Business Directory, you can also use the site name as the domain to log in with a composite domain for a particular site. For example, if you have site_a and site_b, and you want to log in as browse_user with the composite domain for site_b, you can use site_ as the domain when logging in to Business Directory.
