Creating an AD LDS (ADAM) instance connection

To create a new 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 AD LDS (ADAM) Connector.

  3. Click Next.

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

    • Server: Type the fully qualified domain name of the computer on which the AD LDS (ADAM) instance to which you want to connect is running.

    • Port: Type the LDAP communication port number used by the AD LDS (ADAM) instance.

      • Access AD LDS (ADAM) instance using: Use this option to select one of the following:

        • Synchronization Service account: Allows you to access the target AD LDS (ADAM) instance in the security context of the account under which the Synchronization Service is running.

        • Windows account: Allows you to access the target AD LDS (ADAM) instance in the security context of the account whose user name and password you specify below this option.

    • Advanced: Click to specify advanced settings for connecting to the AD LDS (ADAM) instance.

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

  5. Click Finish to create a connection to the AD LDS (ADAM) instance.

Modifying an existing AD LDS (ADAM) instance connection

To modify connection settings

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

  2. Click Connection settings below the existing AD LDS (ADAM) instance connection you want to modify.

  3. On the Connection Settings tab, click Specify connection settings to expand it and use the following options.

    • Server: Type the fully qualified domain name of the computer on which the AD LDS (ADAM) instance to which you want to connect is running.

    • Port: Type the LDAP communication port number used by the AD LDS (ADAM) instance.

      • Access AD LDS (ADAM) instance using: Use this option to select one of the following:

        • Synchronization Service account: Allows you to access the target AD LDS (ADAM) instance in the security context of the account under which the Synchronization Service is running.

        • Windows account: Allows you to access the target AD LDS (ADAM) instance in the security context of the account whose user name and password you specify below this option.

    • Advanced: Click to specify advanced settings for connecting to the AD LDS (ADAM) instance.

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

  4. Optionally, you can narrow the number of AD LDS (ADAM) objects participating in the connection scope by setting up filter conditions. On the Connection Settings tab, click the Advanced item to expand it, and then use the following list columns:

    • Object type: Use this column to select the AD LDS (ADAM) object types for which you want to configure filter conditions: click Add Object Type to add an object type to the list. Once you have added an object type to the list, use the Filter condition column to specify a condition the objects of that type must meet in order to participate in the connection scope.

    • Filter condition: Use this column to specify a filter condition for the corresponding AD LDS (ADAM) object type. To specify a filter condition, type an LDAP query. The AD LDS (ADAM) objects that meet the specified filter condition will participate in the connection scope. When no filter condition specified for an object type, all objects that belong to that type participate in the connection scope.

  5. When you are finished, click Save.

Working with Skype for Business Server

This section describes how to create or modify a connection to Microsoft Skype for Business Server with the Active Roles Synchronization Service, to read and write data in Skype for Business Server. It also lists the type of data you can read and/or write using the configured connection.

To create a connection to Skype for Business Server, use the Skype for Business Server Connector of Active Roles Synchronization Service.

The Skype for Business Connector supports the following features:

Table 6: Skype for Business Server Connector – Supported features

Feature

Supported

Bidirectional synchronization

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

Yes

For more information on what data you can read and write in Skype for Business Server, see Supported Skype for Business Server data.

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 a new Skype for Business Server connection

You can create a new Skype for Business Server connection in the Synchronization Service Console.

Prerequisites

Before creating a new Skype for Business Server connection, make sure that unsigned Windows PowerShell scripts are allowed to run on the computer on which Active Roles Synchronization Service is installed. This is required because Synchronization Service uses Windows PowerShell scripts to work with Microsoft Skype for Business Server.

NOTE: To view the current Windows PowerShell initialization policy, use the Get-ExecutionPolicy cmdlet supplied with Windows PowerShell. To change the Windows PowerShell initialization policy, you can use the Set-ExecutionPolicy cmdlet of Windows PowerShell.

To create a new Skype for Business Server connection

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

  2. Click Add connection, then use the following options:
    1. Connection name: Type a descriptive name for the connection.

    2. Use the specified connector: Select Skype for Business Server Connector.

  3. Click Next.

  4. Set the following settings:

    • Skype for Business Server computer name: Specify the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the Skype for Business Server computer to which you want to connect.

    • User name: Specify a domain user account that has sufficient rights to administer Skype for Business Server users. The account must be a member of all of the following groups that Skype for Business Server creates in Active Directory: CsAdministrator, CsUserAdministrator, and CsServerAdministrator.

    • Password: Type the password of the specified user account.

    To verify the specified connection settings, click Test Connection.

  5. To apply your changes, click Finish.
