The reason that this works, authentication pass-through enables your account
in one domain to pass the account name/password credentials from one domain
to another domain. As long as the account name/password are the same in both
domains, this will generally work (there are exceptions). As a test, change
your account password on domain "b", bet you get prompted (or get access
denied).
