Bidirectional synchronization allows you to synchronize all changes to identity information between your data systems. Using this feature, you can prevent potential identity information conflicts between different data sources.
NOTE: This feature is only supported by certain data systems. For more information, see the relevant data connector documentation in the Active Roles Administration Guide.
Delta processing allows you to synchronize identities faster by processing only data that has changed in the source and target connected systems since the last synchronization run.
By offering both full synchronization or quick delta processing methods between two data systems, provides you the flexibility of choosing the appropriate method for your synchronization tasks.
NOTE: This feature is only supported by certain data systems. For more information, see the relevant data connector documentation in the Active Roles Administration Guide.
ensures that group membership information is synchronized across all connected data systems. For example, when creating a group object from an Active Directory (AD) domain to an AD LDS (ADAM) instance, you can configure rules to synchronize the Member attribute from the AD domain to the AD LDS (ADAM) instance.
supports Windows PowerShell-based scripting for data synchronization. The shell is implemented as a Windows PowerShell module, allowing you to automate synchronization tasks via PowerShell scripts.
