Creating an Active Directory connection

To create a new connection

  1. In the Synchronization Service Console, open the Connections tab.

  2. Click Add connection, then use the following options:
    • Connection name: Type a descriptive name for the connection.

    • Use the specified connector: Select Active Directory Connector.

  3. Click Next.

  4. On the Specify connection settings page, use the following options:

    • Any available domain controller in the specified domain: Allows you to connect to an available domain controller in the Active Directory domain you specify. In the Domain text box, type the fully qualified domain name of the domain to which you want to connect.

    • Specified domain controller: Allows you to connect to a specific domain controller in a particular Active Directory domain. In the Domain controller text box, type the fully qualified domain name of the domain controller to which you want to connect.

    • Active Directory forest: Allows you to connect to the Active Directory forest you specify in this option. When synchronizing data to or from a connected forest, Synchronization Service automatically selects the appropriate domain controllers in the forest to read and write data according to the synchronization scope configured for the connection.

      • Secure Sockets Layer usage: Use this list to select one of the following:

        • None: Allows you to connect without using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL).

        • Use: Allows you to connect through SSL.

        • Preferred: Allows you to attempt the connection through SSL first. If this connection attempt fails, the Synchronization Service tries to connect without using SSL.

      • Access Active Directory using: Use this option to select one of the following:

        • Synchronization Service account: Allows you to access the Active Directory domain in the security context of the account under which the Synchronization Service is running.

        • Windows account: Allows you to access Active Directory in the security context of the account whose user name and password you specify below this option.

    • Test Connection: Click this button to verify the specified connection settings.

  5. Click Finish to create a connection to Active Directory.

Modifying an Active Directory connection

To modify connection settings

  1. In the Synchronization Service Console, open the Connections tab.

  2. Click Connection settings below the existing Active Directory connection you want to modify.

  3. On the Connection Settings tab, click the Specify connection settings item to expand it and use the following options:

    • Any available domain controller in the specified domain: Allows you to connect to an available domain controller in the Active Directory domain you specify. In the Domain text box, type the fully qualified domain name of the domain to which you want to connect.

    • Specified domain controller: Allows you to connect to a specific domain controller in a particular Active Directory domain. In the Domain controller text box, type the fully qualified domain name of the domain controller to which you want to connect.

    • Active Directory forest: Allows you to connect to the Active Directory forest you specify in this option. When synchronizing data to or from a connected forest, Synchronization Service automatically selects the appropriate domain controllers in the forest to read and write data according to the synchronization scope configured for the connection.

      • Secure Sockets Layer usage: Use this list to select one of the following:

        • None: Allows you to connect without using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL).

        • Use: Allows you to connect through SSL.

        • Preferred: Allows you to attempt the connection through SSL first. If this connection attempt fails, the Synchronization Service tries to connect without using SSL.

      • Access Active Directory using: Use this option to select one of the following:

        • Synchronization Service account: Allows you to access the Active Directory domain in the security context of the account under which the Synchronization Service is running.

        • Windows account: Allows you to access Active Directory in the security context of the account whose user name and password you specify below this option.

    • Test Connection: Click this button to verify the specified connection settings.

  4. Optionally, you can narrow the number of objects participating in the connection scope by setting up filter conditions. On the Connection Settings tab, click the Advanced item to expand it, and then use the following list columns:

    • Object type: Use this column to select the Active Directory object types for which you want to configure filter conditions: click Add Object Type to add an object type to the list. Once you have added an object type, use the Filter condition column to specify a condition the objects of that type must meet in order to participate in the connection scope.

    • Filter condition: Use this column to specify a filter condition for the corresponding Active Directory object type. To specify a filter condition, type an LDAP query. The Active Directory objects that meet the specified filter condition will participate in the connection scope. When no filter condition specified for an object type, all objects that belong to that type participate in the connection scope.

  5. When you are finished, click Save.

Communication ports required to synchronize data between two Active Directory domains

When synchronizing data between two Active Directory domains, Synchronization Service uses the following ports to access domain controllers in the domains:

Synchronizing user passwords between two Active Directory domains

You can automatically synchronize user passwords from one Active Directory domain to the other by using Synchronization Service. The next procedure assumes that Synchronization Service is already connected to the source and target domains. For more information, see Creating an Active Directory connection.

To synchronize user passwords between two Active Directory domains

  1. Install Capture Agent on all domain controllers in the source and target Active Directory domains.

  2. Use the pwdHash attribute to perform an initial synchronization of user passwords between the source and target domains:

    1. Create a new or choose an existing creating or updating synchronization step for the source and target domains.

      If you use an updating synchronization step, ensure that user objects in the source domain are properly mapped to their counterparts in the target domain. For more information on mapping objects, see Mapping objects.

      In the creating or updating synchronization step, configure a rule to synchronize the pwdHash attribute value from the user objects in the source domain to their counterparts in the target domain.

    2. Run the creating or updating synchronization step to perform an initial synchronization of user passwords from the source to the target domain.

    The step to perform an initial synchronization allows you to synchronize user passwords only once. If you want to synchronize all subsequent password changes on a permanent basis, complete the step to create a recurring run schedule.

  3. Create a recurring run schedule for the synchronization step you configured previously. For instructions, see Running a sync workflow on a recurring schedule.

    • To synchronize all subsequent password changes from the source to the target domain, do one of the following:

      • Configure a password sync rule to automate the password synchronization between the two Active Directory domains. For more information, see Automated password synchronization.
