Modifying an Active Roles connection

To modify connection settings

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

  2. Click Connection settings below the existing Active Roles connection you want to modify.

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

    • Connect to: Allows you to specify the Active Roles Administration Service to be used by the Synchronization Service. You can use one of the following options:

      • Administration Service on the specified computer: Type the name of the computer running the Administration Service you want Active Roles to use.

      • 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 Active Roles Quick Start Guide for version 6.9 or earlier.

    • Access Active Roles Administration Service using: Allows you to specify an authentication option to access the Active Roles Administration Service. You can use one of the following options:

      • Active Roles account: Allows you to access the Administration Service in the security context of the user account under which the Active Roles is running.

      • Windows account: Allows you to access the Administration Service in the security context of the user account whose user name and password you specify below this option.

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

  4. Click Save.

Working with One Identity Manager

To create a connection to One Identity Manager, use the One Identity Manager Connector of Active Roles Synchronization Service.

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

Table 37: One Identity Manager Connector – Supported features

Feature

Supported

Bidirectional synchronization

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

Yes

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.

Yes

Password synchronization

Specifies whether you can synchronize user passwords from an Active Directory (AD) domain to the connected data system.

No

Creating a One Identity Manager connection

Synchronization Service supports One Identity Manager, allowing you to create a connection to Identity Manager right after installing Synchronization Service.

    • Connection name: Type a descriptive name for the connection.

    • Use the specified connector: Select One Identity Manager Connector.

  3. Click Next.

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

    • Application Server URL: Specify the address of the One Identity Manager application server to which you want to connect.

    • Authentication module: Identifies the One Identity Manager authentication module that is to be used to verify the connection’s user ID and password.

    • User name: Specify the user ID for this connection.

    • Password: Specify the password of the user ID for this connection.

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

  5. Click Next.

    The One Identity Manager modules, target systems, and containers appear.
