Creating an Active Roles connection

You can create a connection to Active Roles right after you install Synchronization Service on your computer.

To create a new connection

  1. In the Synchronization Service Administration Console, open the Connections tab.
  2. Click Add connection, and then use the following options:
    • Connection name. Type a descriptive name for the connection.
    • Use the specified connector. Select Active Roles Connector.
  3. Click Next.

      • Any Administration Service of the same configuration. Specify any Administration Service whose database holds the necessary configuration: type the DNS name of the computer running that Administration Service. If Active Roles replication is used to synchronize configuration data, this must be any Administration Service whose database server acts as the Publisher for the configuration database.
    • Active Roles version. Prompts you to specify the version of the Active Roles Administration Service to which you want to connect. You can choose to connect either to version 7.0 or later or to version 6.9 or earlier. In the latter case, you have to install the Active Roles ADSI Provider of the respective legacy Active Roles version on the computer running the Synchronization Service. For installation instructions, see the Quick Start Guide for Active Roles version 6.9 or earlier.

Working with One Identity Manager

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

The One Identity Manager Connector supports the following Synchronization Service features:

Bidirectional synchronization

Allows you to read and write data in the connected data system.

Yes

Delta processing mode

Allows you to process only the data that has changed in the connected data system since the last synchronization operation, thereby reducing the overall synchronization operation time.

Yes

Password synchronization

Allows you to synchronize user passwords from One Identity Manager domain to the connected data system.

No
