Specifying connection settings for an OpenLDAP directory service connection

The Specify connection settings option provides the following settings that allow you to modify the connection settings:

  • Server: Type the fully qualified domain name of the computer running an OpenLDAP directory service to which you want to connect.

  • Port: Type the number of the communication port used by the OpenLDAP server to which you want to connect.

  • Access LDAP directory service using: Type the user name and password of the account with which you want to access the OpenLDAP directory service. Ensure the account has sufficient permissions to perform the operations you want (Read, Write) on objects in the OpenLDAP directory service.

  • Advanced: Click this button to specify a number of advanced options to access the OpenLDAP directory service. For example, you can select an authentication method to access the directory service, configure TLS/SSL usage for the connection, and select whether or not you want to use paged search.

  • From this Authentication method list, select one of the following methods:

    • Anonymous: Allows you to establish the connection without passing credentials.

    • Basic: Specifies to use basic authentication.

    • Microsoft Negotiate: Specifies to use Microsoft Negotiate authentication.

    • NTLM: Specifies to use Windows NT Challenge/Response authentication.

    • Digest: Specifies to use Digest Access authentication.

    • Sicily: Employs a negotiation mechanism (Sicily) to choose the Microsoft Network Authentication Service, Distributed Password Authentication, or NTLM method.

    • Distributed Password Authentication: Specifies to use DPA authentication.

    • Microsoft Network Authentication Service: Specifies to authenticate with Microsoft Network Authentication Service.

    • External: Specifies to use an external authentication method for the connection.

    • Kerberos: Specifies to use Kerberos authentication.

    You can also use the following check boxes:

    • Use TLS/SSL: Allows you to use the TLS (SSL) encryption to establish and maintain the connection.

    • Switch to TLS/SSL after establishing connection: Establishes the connection without using the TLS (SSL) encryption. Then, after the connection has been established, enables the TLS (SSL) encryption.

    • Verify TLS/SSL certificate: Specifies whether or not to check the TLS (SSL) certificate on the server.

    • Use paged search: Specifies whether or not to use paged search for the connection. When selecting this check box, you can set a page size limit in the text box below.

  • To test the connection with the new parameters, click Test connection.

Specifying naming attributes for an OpenLDAP directory service connection

The Specify naming attributes option allows you to specify a naming attribute for each object type in the connected OpenLDAP directory service data system. The option provides the following settings:

  • Default naming attribute: Displays the default naming attribute set for the currently selected object type.

  • Add: Adds a new naming attribute for the selected object type.

  • Edit: Allows you to edit the name of the naming attribute currently specified for the selected object type.

  • Remove: Removes the currently selected entry from the list.

Working with IBM DB2

This section describes how to create or modify a connection to IBM DB2 so that Synchronization Service could work with data in that data system.

To create a connection to IBM DB2, you need to use Synchronization Service in conjunction with a special connector called IBM DB2 Connector. This connector is included in the Synchronization Service package.

The IBM DB2 Connector supports the following features:

Table 50: IBM DB2 Connector – Supported features

Feature

Supported

Bidirectional synchronization

Specifies whether you can both read and write data in the connected data system.

Yes

Delta processing mode

Specifies whether the connection can process only the data that has changed in the connected data system since the last synchronization operation. This reduces the overall synchronization duration.

No

Password synchronization

Specifies whether you can synchronize user passwords from an Active Directory (AD) domain to the connected data system.

Yes

Creating an IBM DB2 connection

To create a new connection

  1. On the system where Synchronization Service is installed, install IBM Data Server Client supplied with the IBM DB2 version with which you plan to work.
  2. In the Synchronization Service Console, open the Connections tab.
  3. Click Add connection, then use the following options:
    • Connection name: Type a descriptive name for the connection.

    • Use the specified connector: Select IBM DB2 Connector.

  4. Click Next.

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

    • IBM DB2 server: Type or select the fully qualified domain name of the IBM DB2 computer that hosts the database you want to participate in data synchronization operations. You can click Refresh to get a list of available IBM DB2 servers.

    • Access IBM DB2 server using: Type the user name and password with which you want to access the IBM DB2 server.

    • Connect to database: Type the name of the database to which you want to connect on the IBM DB2 server.

    • Advanced: Optionally, you can click this button to specify additional parameters you want to add to the connection string that will be used to access the IBM DB2 server. In the dialog box that opens, click Add Parameter to specify the name and value of the parameter you want to add to the connection string.

    • To test the connection with the new parameters, click Test connection.

  6. Click Next.

  7. On the Specify how to select and modify data page, use the following options:

    • Use data from this table: Allows you to select a database table that includes the data you want to participate in the synchronization operations. You can click Preview to preview the database table you have selected.

    • Use an SQL query to specify data: Allows you to compose an SQL query that provides a more flexible way for specifying the data for synchronization. For example, you can use this option to specify multiple database tables.

    • Configure Settings: Click this button to specify settings for modifying data in the connected system during synchronization operations. For example, you can specify the database tables in which you want to insert, update, or delete data during synchronization operations.

  8. On the Specify attributes to identify objects page, use the following options:

    • Available attributes: Lists the attributes that are available in the external data system. Use this list to select the attributes whose values you want to use to generate a unique identifier for each object in the external data system. You can filter attributes by typing in the text box at the top of this list. To select multiple attributes, hold down CTRL and click to select attributes in the list.

    • UniqueID attributes: Lists the attributes whose values are currently used to generate a unique identifier for each object in the external data system.

    • Add->: Moves the selected attributes from the Available attributes list to the UniqueID attributes list.

    • <-Remove: Moves the selected attributes from the UniqueID attributes list to the Available attributes list.

    • Constructed UniqueID: Displays a combination of the attributes whose values will make up a unique identifier for each object in the external data system.

  9. Click Finish to create a connection to the IBM DB2 system.
