Configuration
To configure the ADSync Utility, follow these steps:
Configure Files
ADSync utility includes three configuration files in the Install directory\AdsyncUtility\ad-user-sync\conf folder. The files are:
...
- LDAP GC and LDAP DC: These values are generally the same. Change these values to your AD server or the domain controller.
Example:
# Global Catalog Server
ldap.gc=ldap://localhost:3268
# Domain Controller Server
ldap.dc=ldap://localhost:389 - Authtoken and slicetoken: These values are auto-populated when you download the ADSync Utility. DO NOT Do not edit these values. If you happen to edit these values by mistake, download the ADSync Utility again.
- action.url: The action.url is the URL to your application instance. This value is auto-populated when you download the ADSync Utility. DO NOT Do not edit this value. If you happen to edit this value by mistake, download the ADSync Utility again.
Note: For large transactions, the support team can provide you with a direct URL to the application, to resolve timeout issues. Only in such cases, you can update this attribute manually. - LDAP Bind credentials= LDAP Bind credentials is the service account that you created in the AD.
- send.data: This parameter determines whether to stream data over to Intelligent Service Management or to Luma or not. The value is set to Yes. However, you can set it to No while running the ADSync Utility for diagnostic purposes.
...
This file is used to map fields from AD with the fields in Intelligent Service ManagementLuma. Configure it by mapping the application attributes with their corresponding AD attributes, in the following format:
Intelligent Service Management attributeLuma attribute=AD attribute
For more information about these files and attributes, see Configure the ADSync Utility and look for attribute_map.list.
...
You can test the ADSync Utility without actually sending data to Intelligent Service ManagementLuma. Set the send.data attribute in the sync.properties file to No.
...
- Sync data log file: After the synchronization is done, Intelligent Service Management generates complete, Luma generates an XML file that is written to <install directory>\sync\logs\sync_data.log.0. Any error during the synchronization can be seen here.
- Backup file: The backup file is generated at the following location:
<Install directory>\sync\backup
The backup file stores the changes that are written in the data after the last successful synchronization.
