Identity Synchronization for Windows stores its configuration data in a Directory Server configuration directory. The program does not install a configuration directory.
The Console, system manager, command-line utilities, and the installer all read and write the product’s configuration data to and from the configuration directory, including the following:
Installation information about each component’s health
Configuration information for every directory, domain, connector, and Directory Server Plug-in
Connector status
Synchronization settings that describe the direction of user or group creations, deletions, and attribute modifications
Attributes to be synchronized and attribute mappings between Active Directory and Directory Server or Windows NT and Directory Server
Synchronization User Lists (SULs) in each directory topology
