Creating an initial synchronization project for Exchange Online

IMPORTANT: Each Exchange Online environment should have its own synchronization project.

NOTE: The following sequence describes how to configure a synchronization project if the Synchronization Editor is both:

  • Run in default mode

  • Started from the Launchpad

If you run the project wizard in expert mode or directly from the Synchronization Editor, additional configuration settings can be made. Follow the project wizard instructions through these steps.

To set up initial synchronization project for Exchange Online

  1. Start the Launchpad and log in on the One Identity Manager database.

    NOTE: If synchronization is run by an application server, connect the database through the application server.

  2. Select the Target system type Exchange Online entry and click Start.

    This starts the Synchronization Editor's project wizard.

  1. On the System access page, specify how One Identity Manager can access the target system.

    • If access is possible from the workstation on which you started the Synchronization Editor, do not change any settings.

    • If access is not possible from the workstation on which you started the Synchronization Editor, you can set up a remote connection.

      Enable the Connect using remote connection server option and select the server to be used for the connection under Job server.

  1. On the Deployment page, select the cloud deployment where your Exchange Online environment will run.

  2. On the Connection parameters page, enter the login data for connecting to Exchange Online.

    • User name: Enter the fully qualified name (FQDN) of the user account for logging in.

      Example:

      <user>@<domain.com>

      sync.user@yourorganisation.onmicrosoft.com

    • Password: Enter the pass word of the user account.

    Click to test the connection parameter.

  1. On the last page of the system connection wizard, click Finish to return to the project wizard.

  1. On the One Identity Manager Connection tab, test the data for connecting to the One Identity Manager database. The data is loaded from the connected database. Reenter the password.

    NOTE:

    • If you use an unencrypted One Identity Manager database and have not yet saved any synchronization projects to the database, you need to enter all connection data again.

    • This page is not shown if a synchronization project already exists.

  2. The wizard loads the target system schema. This may take a few minutes depending on the type of target system access and the size of the target system.

  1. On the Restrict target system access page, specify how system access should work. You have the following options: Read-only access to target system.
    Table 5: Specify target system access
    Option Meaning

    Specifies that a synchronization workflow is only to be set up for the initial loading of the target system into the One Identity Manager database.

    The synchronization workflow has the following characteristics:

    • Synchronization is in the direction of One Identity Manager.

    • Processing methods in the synchronization steps are only defined for synchronization in the direction of One Identity Manager.

    Read/write access to target system. Provisioning available.

    Specifies whether a provisioning workflow is set up in addition to the synchronization workflow for the initial loading of the target system.

    The provisioning workflow displays the following characteristics:

    • Synchronization is in the direction of the Target system.

    • Processing methods are only defined in the synchronization steps for synchronization in the direction of the Target system.

    • Synchronization steps are only created for such schema classes whose schema types have write access.

  1. On the Synchronization server page, select the synchronization server to run the synchronization.

    If the synchronization server is not declared as a Job server in the One Identity Manager database yet, you can add a new Job server.

    1. Click to add a new Job server.

    2. Enter a name for the Job server and the full server name conforming to DNS syntax.

    3. Click OK.

      The synchronization server is declared as Job server for the target system in the One Identity Manager database.

    4. NOTE: After you save the synchronization project, ensure that this server is set up as a synchronization server.

  1. To close the project wizard, click Finish.

    This creates and allocates a default schedule for regular synchronization. Enable the schedule for regular synchronization.

    This sets up, saves and immediately activates the synchronization project.

    NOTE:

    • If enabled, a consistency check is carried out. If errors occur, a message appears. You can decide whether the synchronization project can remain activated or not.

      Check the errors before you use the synchronization project. To do this, in the General view on the Synchronization Editor‘s start page, click Verify project.

    • If you do not want the synchronization project to be activated immediately, disable the Activate and save the new synchronization project automatically option. In this case, save the synchronization project manually before closing the Synchronization Editor.

    • The connection data for the target system is saved in a variable set and can be modified in the Synchronization Editor in the Configuration > Variables category.

Exchange Online synchronization features

There are a number of features for synchronizing Exchange Online environments, which are described here.

Dependency resolution

By default, automatic dependency resolution for synchronization steps is not set in the synchronization workflow. This reduces the number of calls required to Exchange Online. This can lead to unresolved references during synchronization that are handled in the maintenance phase at the end of synchronization.

Multiple organizations are not supported

Due to the dynamic number of used login accounts, variable sets cannot be used to parametrize the connection. For this reason, creating more base objects in one synchronization project is not supported.

Changing mailbox types in the Exchange Online portal

The default project template for Exchange Online support the conversion of mailbox types as follows:

  • Shared mailbox to user mailbox

  • User mailbox to share mailbox

  • Equipment mailbox to room mailbox

  • Room mailbox to equipment mailbox

NOTE: In performing an unsupported change, for example, a room mailbox to a shared mailbox, the synchronization will mark the room mailbox as "missing" and fail to create the shared mailbox due to naming violations. This scenario can only be resolved manually.

NOTE: One Identity Manager does not support handling of mailbox types.

Synchronization of mailbox statistic data

Synchronization of mailbox statistic data is done in its own synchronization step. Loading this information from Exchange Online is potentially very time consuming. Therefore, it make sense to create a separate workflow that includes a synchronization step for loading this data. You can run this workflow at longer intervals than the workflow without usage data.

The following usage information is synchronized:

Schema property in the Target System Description

AssociatedItemCount

Number of elements associated with this mailbox.

DeletedItemCount

Number of deleted elements.

DumpsterMessagesPerFolderCountReceiveQuota

Maximum number of messages allowed in a folder in the Recoverable items folder.

DumpsterMessagesPerFolderCountWarningQuota

Number of items a folder in the Recoverable items folder can contain before a warning is sent to the user.

ItemCount

Number of messages in a mailbox (for example, email, calendar, or contacts) that are visible to the user.

LastLoggedOnUserAccount

Name of the last logged on user.

LastLogOffTime

Last log off time

LastLogonTime

Last log on time

StorageLimitStatus

Information about the current storage state with respect to the specified limits.

TotalDeletedItemSize

Size of items in the Recoverable Items mailbox.

TotalItemSize

Size of items in mailbox in KB.

NOTE: The mailbox usage information is only available for users or shared mailboxes.

Number of external slots for the Job server configuration

Since the number of concurrent connections for Exchange Online is limited to three, you should use a dedicated Job server with a reduced number of external slots (not more then two). You will get an error message if to many connections are open at the same time.

You can set the number of connections for each connection parameter set and customize the connector definition. For more information, see Advanced settings for the Exchange Online connector.

Configuring the synchronization log

All the information, tips, warnings, and errors that occur during synchronization are recorded in the synchronization log. You can configure the type of information to record separately for each system connection.

To configure the content of the synchronization log

  1. To configure the synchronization log for target system connection, select the Configuration > Target system category in the Synchronization Editor.

    - OR -

    To configure the synchronization log for the database connection, select the Configuration > One Identity Manager connection category in the Synchronization Editor.

  2. Select the General view and click Configure.

  3. Select the Synchronization log view and set Create synchronization log.

  4. Enable the data to be logged.

    NOTE: Some content generates a particularly large volume of log data. The synchronization log should only contain data required for error analysis and other analyzes.

  5. Click OK.

Synchronization logs are stored for a fixed length of time.

To modify the retention period for synchronization logs

  • In the Designer, enable the DPR | Journal | LifeTime configuration parameter and enter the maximum retention period.

Customizing the synchronization configuration

Having used the Synchronization Editor to set up a synchronization project for initial synchronization of Exchange Online, you can use the synchronization project to load Exchange Online objects into the One Identity Manager database. When you manage mailboxes, mail users, mail contacts, mail-enabled distribution groups, and Office 365 groups with One Identity Manager, modifications are provisioned in the Exchange Online system.

You must customize the synchronization configuration in order to compare the One Identity Manager database with the Exchange Online regularly and to synchronize changes.

  • To use One Identity Manager as the primary system during synchronization, create a workflow with synchronization in the direction of the Target system.

  • You can use variables to create generally applicable synchronization configurations that contain the necessary information about the synchronization objects when synchronization starts. Variables can be implemented in base objects, schema classes, or processing method, for example.

  • To specify which Exchange Online objects and database objects are included in synchronization, edit the scope of the target system connection and the One Identity Manager database connection. To prevent data inconsistencies, define the same scope in both systems. If no scope is defined, all objects will be synchronized.

  • Update the schema in the synchronization project if the One Identity Manager schema or target system schema has changed. Then you can add the changes to the mapping.

For more information about configuring synchronization, see the One Identity Manager Target System Synchronization Reference Guide.
