Specifying attributes to identify objects for a MySQL database connection

The Specify attributes to identify objects setting provides the following options that allow you to specify the attributes with which you want to uniquely identify each object in the connected data system:

  • 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.

Working with an OLE DB-compliant relational database

This section describes how to create or modify a connection to an OLE DB-compliant relational database so that Synchronization Service could work with data in that database.

To create a connection to an OLE DB-compliant relational database, use the OLE DB Connector of the Active Roles Synchronization Service.

NOTE: To create a connection to an OLE DB-compliant relational database, the OLE DB Connector requires any version of Microsoft OLE DB Driver for SQL Server that is supported by Microsoft to be installed on the machine running Active Roles Synchronization Service.

The Active Roles installer is shipped with and automatically installs Microsoft OLE DB Driver 19.x for SQL Server.

Table 53: OLE DB Connector – Supported features

Feature

Supported

Bidirectional synchronization

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

No

NOTE: By using OLE DB Connector, you can only read data in the connected data system.

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.

No

Creating an OLE DB-compliant relational database connection

You can create a new OLE DB-compliant database connection in the Synchronization Service Console.

To create a new OLE DB-compliant relational database 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 OLE DB Connector.

  3. Click Next.

  4. Use the Connection string text box to type the connection parameters to access the OLE DB-compliant relational database. Alternatively, you can click Configure to specify the connection parameters by using a dialog provided by Windows.

  5. Click Next.

  6. 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.

  7. Click Next.

  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. To finish configuring the connection to the OLE DB-compliant relational database, click Finish.

Modifying an existing OLE DB-compliant data source connection

You can modify an existing OLE DB-compliant database connection in the Active Roles Synchronization Service Console.

To modify the connection settings of an OLE DB Connector

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

  2. Click Connection settings below the existing OLE DB-compliant relational database connection you want to modify.

  3. On the Connection Settings tab, click an appropriate item to expand it and use the options it provides.

    You can expand the following items:

  4. For more information on these settings, see the applicable subsections.

  5. When you are finished, click Save.
