You can specify whether want to set advanced options in the Synchronization EditorOne Identity Manager tool for configuring target system synchronization. project wizard on the page Connect Exchange Online. These settings allow you to change the following options for communicating with Exchange Online:
|
IMPORTANT: You should only make changes to this option with the help of help desk staff. Changes to this setting will have wide ranging effects on synchronization and must be made carefully. |
Use this option to set the number of concurrent connections for each connection parameter set or for each user account for synchronization. The setting specifies how many concurrent connections will be created for each user account. The default value is 2. Exchange Online currently allows 3 connections per user account on the server side.
When the Exchange Online connector creates the connection, it creates one Windows PowerShell session per connection parameter set regardless of the number of queries that follow. Further connections are created on demand, for example, when loading multiple objects during the synchronization.
The maximum number of sessions established to Exchange Online can be calculated with the following formula:
Maximum number of Windows PowerShell sessions = Number of parameter sets * Value of concurrent connection per connection parameter set
The minimum number of sessions established to Exchange Online is the same as the number of connection parameter sets.

Use this setting to customize the definition used by the connector to translate input and output of Exchange Online Commandlets back and forth between the synchronization engine schema.

NOTE: A customized connection definition is not overwritten by default and must be made with careful consideration. |

SynchronizationThe process of comparing data between One Identity Manager and a target system. Objects and their properties are compared by fixed rules. Synchronization results in the identical data situation in the target system and One Identity Manager database. results are summarized in the synchronization log. You can specify the extent of the synchronization log for each system connection individually. One Identity Manager provides several reports in which the synchronization results are organized under different criteria.
To display a synchronization log
Logs for all completed synchronization runs are displayed in the navigation view.
An analysis of the synchronization is shown as a report. You can save the report.
To display a provisioning log.
Logs for all completed provisioning processes are displayed in the navigation view.
Select a log by double-clicking on it.
An analysis of the provisioning is show as a report. You can save the report.
The log is marked in color in the navigation view. This mark shows you the execution status of the synchronization/provisioning.
Synchronization logs are stored for a fixed length of time. The retention period is set in the configuration parameter "DPR\Journal\LifeTime" and its sub parameters.
To modify the retention period for synchronization logs
There are a number of features for synchronizing Exchange Online environments, which are described here.
By default, automatic synchronization step dependency resolution is turned off in the synchronization workflow. This reduces the number of calls required to Exchange Online. This can lead to unresolved references during synchronization, which are handled in the maintenance phase at the end of synchronization.
Due to the dynamic number of used login accounts, variable sets cannot be used to parametrize the connection. For this reason, creating more base objects in one synchronization project is not supported.
The default template for Exchange Online supports conversion of mailbox types as follows:
Shared mailbox to user mailbox
|
NOTE: n performing an unsupported change, for example, a room mailbox to a shared mailbox, the synchronization will mark the room mailbox as 'missing' and fail to create the shared mailbox due to naming violations. This scenario can only be resolved manually. |
|
NOTE: One Identity Manager does not support handling of mailbox types. |
SynchronizationThe process of comparing data between One Identity Manager and a target system. Objects and their properties are compared by fixed rules. Synchronization results in the identical data situation in the target system and One Identity Manager database. of mailbox usage information is done in a separate synchronization step. Loading this information from Exchange Online is potentially very time consuming. Therefore, it make sense to create a separate workflow , which includes a synchronization step for loading this data. You can run this workflow at longer intervals than the workflow without usage data.
The following usage information is synchronized:
Schema property |
Description |
---|---|
AssociatedItemCount | Number of elements assigned to this mailbox. |
DeletedItemCount | Number of deleted elements. |
DumpsterMessagesPerFolderCountReceiveQuota | Maximum number of messages allowed in a folder in the "Recoverable items" folder. |
DumpsterMessagesPerFolderCountWarningQuota | Number of item a folder in the "Recoverable items" folder can contain before a warning is sent to the user. |
ItemCount | Number of messages in this mailbox (email, calendar, contacts for example) visible to the user. |
LastLoggedOnUserAccount | Name of the last logged on user. |
LastLogOffTime | Last log off time |
LastLogonTime | Last log on time |
StorageLimitStatus | Information about the current storage state with respect to the specified limits. |
TotalDeletedItemSize | Size of items in the "Recoverable Items" mailbox. |
TotalItemSize | Size of items in mailbox in KB. |
|
NOTE: The mailbox usage information is only available for user or shared mailboxes. |
Since the number of concurrent connections for Exchange Online is limited to 3, you should use a dedicated Job serverServer with the One Identity Manager Service installed. with a reduced number of external execution slots (not more then 2). You will get an error message if to many connections are open at the same time.
You can set the number of connections for each connection parameter set and customize the connector definition. For more information, see Advanced Settings for the Exchange Online Connector.
You have used the Synchronization EditorOne Identity Manager tool for configuring target system synchronization. to set up a synchronization project for initial synchronization with Exchange Online. You can use this synchronization project to load Exchange Online objects into the One Identity Manager database. When you manage mailboxes, e-mail users, e-mail contacts, mail-enabled distribution groups and Office 365 groups with One Identity Manager, modifications are provisioned in the Exchange Online system.
You must customize the synchronization configuration in order to compare the One Identity Manager database with the Exchange Online regularly and to synchronize changes.
|
IMPORTANT: As long as synchronization is running, you must not start another synchronization for the same target system. This applies especially, if the same synchronization objects would be processed.
