Microsoft Exchange connector settings

The following settings are configured for the system connection with the Microsoft Exchange connector.

Table 46: Microsoft Exchange connector settings

Setting

Meaning
Servers

Fully qualified name (FQDN) of the Microsoft Exchange server.

Variable: CP_ExchangeServerFqdn

Basic authentication (requires SSL)

Specifies whether to use the Basic authentication method.

Default: False

Variable: CP_UseSSL

NOTE: Microsoft Exchange does not support this authentication type by default. You must configure support for this method in Microsoft Exchange. In addition, an SSL connection is used to authenticate using the Basic method. By default, authentication uses Kerberos.

Max. concurrent connections

Maximum number of connections that can be used concurrently. The value must be between 1 and 20.

Variable: CP_ConnectionPoolSize

User name (user@domain)

Fully qualified name (FQDN) of the user account and password for logging in to Microsoft Exchange.

Variable: CP_Username

Password

The user account’s password.

Variable: CP_Password

Use the One Identity Manager Service account

Specifies whether to use the credentials of the currently logged in user.

Default: False

Variable: CP_UseServiceCredential

The user account running under the One Identity Manager Service requires the permissions described in Users and permissions for synchronizing with Microsoft Exchange.

NOTE: If this setting is used, the current user account is also used in the Synchronization Editor during configuration. This user account may be different to the One Identity Manager Service's user account

In this case, it is recommended you use the RemoteConnectPlugin. This ensures that the same user account is used during configuration with the Synchronization Editor as is used in the service context.

Recipient: Complete organization

If this setting is set to True, the recipients will be available to the entire organization for reading/writing. If the setting is set to False, only the recipients of the specified domain (CP_RecipientDomain) are available.

Default: True

Variable: CP_SynchronizeEntireOrganization

Recipient: Only recipients of the following domain

Domain whose recipients will be synchronized if the complete organization is not synchronized (CP_SynchronizeEntireOrganization = False).

Variable: CP_RecipientDomain

Use local server time for the revision

Revision filtering data

If the value is True, the local server time of the server is used for revision filtering. This makes it unnecessary to load target system object for determining the revision. If the value is false, the change time stamp of the underlying Active Directory objects are used for revision filtering.

Default: True

Variable: CP_UseLocalServerTimeAsRevision

Max. time difference (local/remote) in minutes

Revision filtering data

Maximum time difference in minutes between the synchronization server and the Microsoft Exchange server. If the time difference is more than 60 minutes, alter the value.

Default: 60

Variable: CP_LocalServerRevisionMaxDifferenceInMinutes

Retry count

Maximum number of reconnection attempts after an interrupted connection has been identified.

Default: 30

Variable: CP_MaxReconnectRetries

Delay between retries

Time delay between retry attempts in seconds.

Default: 20

Variable: CP_ReconnectIntervalInSeconds

Variable: CP_ConfigurationDomainController

PreferredGlobalCatalog

FQDN of the global catalog server for reading recipient information. For auto discovery, leave the value blank.

Variable: CP_PreferredGlobalCatalog

SetPreferredDomainControllers

Comma-delimtied list of domain controllers (FQDN) for reading information from Active Directory. For auto discovery, leave the value blank.

Variable: CP_SetPreferredDomainControllers
