Sun Java System Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.2 Installation Guide

Directory Server

When Identity Synchronization for Windows creates entries in Directory Server without a password, it sets the userpassword attribute to {PSWSYNC}*INVALID*PASSWORD*. The user will not be able to log in to Directory Server until you reset the password. One exception is when you run resync with the -i NEW_USERS or NEW_LINKED_USERS option. In this case, resync will invalidate the new user’s password, triggering on-demand password synchronization the next time the user logs in.
