To initialize the connector state for the failover configuration, synchronization must be started. Before synchronization can be started, the Identity Synchronization for Windows Plugin must be enabled on both master3-eu.gt.com and master4-eu.gt.com to point to the failover configuration. Once the plugin has been enabled and the directory servers have been restarted, synchronization can be started. Verify that both connectors have entered the SYNCING state using the console or the idsync printstat command:
Once synchronization has started, modify a user password both in Active Directory and in Directory Server and it will force the connectors to persist their state. To verify, do the following:
Directory Server Connector: Check for the presence of the /var/opt/SUNWisw/persist/ADP100/accessor.state file. And check that the highestacknowledgedchangenumber value stored in the file is not -1. (To determine the appropriate ADP subdirectory of persist, find the connector ID using the console or idsync printstat, and then replace CNN with ADP in the connector ID.)
Active Directory Connector: Check that the Active Directory Connector actually propagated the change. There should be an INFO message in the central log that includes the usnchanged value, for example,
[05/Nov/2004:14:07:38.982 -0600] INFO 18 CNN101 connectors-eu "The agent is sending the following inbound action to MQ: Type: MODIFY SUL: GT_USERS {Data Attrs: } {Other Attrs: cn: Jane Test dn: CN=Jane Test,CN=Users,DC=gt,DC=com objectclass: top,person, organizationalPerson, user dspswuserlink: Rwyr9YEFk0WYxbFP5Nnrjg== pwdlastset: 127441696561778218 samaccountname: 3aa00test100001 sn: test100001 usnchanged: 120831 whenchanged: 20041105230736.0Z passwordchanged: TRUE}." (Action ID=CNN102-1000A5846CB-5, SN=2)
Once you have verified that both the connectors have check-pointed their state, stop synchronization for the failover installation, and then reinstall the Directory Server Plugins on master3-eu.gt.com and master4-eu.gt.com to point to the primary configuration.
