Active Roles 8.1.1 - Synchronization Service Administration Guide

To create a password sync rule

1. In the Synchronization Service Console, open the Password Sync tab.

2. Click Add password sync rule.

3. On the Specify source for password sync page, do the following:

   1. In the Source connected system option, specify the Active Directory domain you want to be the source for password synchronization operations. Alternatively, you can select the Active Roles instance that manages such an Active Roles domain.

   2. In the Connected system object type option, select the object type you want to be the source for password synchronization.

4. Click Next.

5. On the Specify target for password sync page, do the following:

   1. In the Target connected system option, specify the target connected system in which you want to synchronize passwords.

   2. In the Connected system object type option, select the object type you want to be the target for password synchronization.

   3. Optionally, you can click Password Sync Settings and then use the following tabs to configure more password sync settings:

      • 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 item 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.

   4. When you are finished, click OK.

6. Click Finish to create the password sync rule.
