Step 2: Add administrative template to Group Policy object

  1. Use Group Policy Object Editor to connect to the Group Policy object you created in step 1.
  2. In the Group Policy Object Editor console, expand the Group Policy object, and in Windows Server 2016 or later, expand Computer Configuration, expand Policies, and then select Administrative Templates.
  3. On the Action menu, point to All Tasks, and click Add/Remove Templates.

    The Add/Remove Templates dialog box opens.

  4. In the Add/Remove Templates dialog box, click Add, and then use the Policy Templates dialog box to open the Administrative Template (SyncServiceCaptureAgent.adm file) supplied with the Synchronization Service.

    The SyncServiceCaptureAgent.adm file is located in <Active Roles distribution media>\Solutions\Sync Service Capture Agent.

Step 3: Use Group Policy object to modify Capture Agent settings

  1. Under Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Classic Administrative Templates (ADM)\Active Roles, select Sync Service Capture Agent Settings.

  2. In the details pane, configure the appropriate Group Policy settings.

    The names of Group Policy settings correspond to the names of the Capture Agent parameters provided in the table in Configuring Capture Agent.

  3. Run the following command at a command prompt for the changes to take effect:

    gpupdate /force

Configuring Active Roles Synchronization Service

Configuring Synchronization Service

You can modify the default values of the Synchronization Service parameters related to password synchronization. These parameters and their default values are described in the next table.

 

Table 126: Synchronization Service parameters

Parameter

Description

Default Value

Interval between attempts to reset password

The Capture Agent sends information on changes made to Active Directory user passwords to Synchronization Service. After receiving this information, Synchronization Service tries to reset passwords in the target connected systems you specified.

This parameter determines the time interval (in minutes) between attempts to reset passwords in the target connected systems.

10 minutes

Synchronization Service connection point update period

Synchronization Service publishes its connection point in Active Directory.

This parameter determines the frequency of updates (in minutes) of the Synchronization Service connection point.

60 minutes

Certificate to encrypt Capture Agent traffic

This parameter specifies the thumbprint of the certificate used to encrypt the password sync traffic between Capture Agent and Synchronization Service. The same certificate must be used for the Capture Agent and the Synchronization Service.

By default, a built-in certificate is used.

You can modify the Synchronization Service parameters using Group Policy and the Administrative Template supplied with Synchronization Service.

To modify Synchronization Service parameters using Group Policy

  1. On the computer running the Synchronization Service, start Group Policy Object Editor, and then connect to the Local Computer Policy Group Policy object.
  2. In the Group Policy Object Editor console, expand the Local Computer Policy node, expand the Computer Configuration node, and select Administrative Templates.
  3. On the Action menu, point to All Tasks, and click Add/Remove Templates.
  4. In the Add/Remove Templates dialog box, click Add, and then use the Policy Templates dialog box to open the SyncService.adm file that holds the Administrative Template.

    By default, the SyncService.adm file is stored in <Active Roles installation folder>\SyncService\Administrative Templates

  1. Under Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Active Roles, select Sync Service Settings, and then in the details pane, configure the appropriate group policy settings.

    The names of group policy settings correspond to the names of the Synchronization Service parameters provided in the table in Configuring Capture Agent.

  1. For the changes to take effect, refresh the Group Policy settings by running the following command at a command prompt: gpupdate /force

Specifying a custom certificate for encrypting password sync traffic

By default, Synchronization Service uses a built-in certificate to encrypt password sync traffic between the Capture Agent and the Synchronization Service. If necessary, you can use a custom certificate for this purpose.

NOTE:

  • SSL certificates signed with MD5 algorithm are not supported.

  • Backward compatibility for Quick Connect v5.5 with Active Roles Synchronization Service Capture Agent v8.0 LTS can be achieved through custom certificate signed with SHA algorithm.

This section illustrates how to use a custom certificate for encrypting the password synchronization traffic in Windows Server (2016 or later).
