You can modify the following settings of an existing password sync rule:
- Specify how many times you want the Synchronization Service to retry the password synchronization operation in the case of a password synchronization failure.
- Specify a PowerShell script to transform a source Active Directory user password into an object password in the target connected system.
- Specify rules to modify the attributes of the target connected system objects on which Synchronization Service changes passwords.
To modify the settings of a password sync rule
- In the Synchronization Service Administration Console, open the Password Sync tab.
- Click the Password sync settings link below the password sync rule you want to modify.
- In the dialog box that opens, use the following tabs:
- Password Sync Retry Options. Use this tab to specify how many times you want Synchronization Service to retry the password synchronization operation in the event of a password synchronization failure. You can select one of the following options:
- Unlimited number of times. Causes Synchronization Service to retry the password synchronization operation until it succeeds.
- This maximum number of times. Specify the maximum number of times you want Synchronization Service to retry the password synchronization operation.
- Password Transformation Script. Use this tab to type a PowerShell script that transforms source Active Directory user passwords into object passwords for the target connected system. Use this tab if you want the object passwords in the source and target connected systems to be different. If you do not want to transform passwords, leave the text box blank.
- Rules to Modify Object Attributes. Use this tab to specify rules for modifying attribute values on the target connected system objects. These rules will only apply to the objects on which Synchronization Service modifies passwords in the target connected system.
- When you are finished, click OK to save your changes.
