  • From Directory Server to Active directory/Windows NT

  • From Active directory/Windows NT to Directory Server

  • Bidirectionally

    Specify whether to synchronize object activations and inactivations are propagated between Sun and Windows systems, and specify a method for synchronizing these objects.

• Global Catalogs: Specify global catalogs (repositories for Active Directory topological and schema information).

• Active Directory schema controller: Specify the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) of the Active Directory schema source to be retrieved from the Windows global catalog.

• Configuration Directory: Specify the Directory Server storing the Identity Synchronization for Windows configuration.

• Active Directory Source: Specify the sources used to synchronize Active Directory domains.

• Windows NT Primary Domain Controller: Specify the Windows NT domains to be synchronized and the name of the Primary Domain Controller for each domain.

• Synchronization User Lists: Use LDAP DIT and filter information to specify the users to be synchronized on Directory Server, Active Directory, and NT.

• Sun Java System Directory Servers: Specify Directory Server instances that store users to be synchronized.
