How to authenticate external and internal users on different AD

What is the recommended way to authenticate external users as well as internal employees in a customer facing application?

We have external users in an Active Directory in the DMZ and our employees in our internal DMZ. Unfortunately we don't have an identity management system in place and wondering if there is a way we could authenticate user against two active directories without creating a trust between them.

We are implementing EP7.0

Thanks in Advance.

You can also use user partitioning. A feature of the UME which allows for having different user persistence options for different users. What you could do in this case have the external user stored in the local db or an LDAP for the external users and the internal users stored in an internal LDAP directory. For more details about <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/e0/b60b404b2b1e07e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm">user partitioning</a>, please see the docs.
