To Specify How Object Creations Should Flow Between Directory Server and Active Directory Systems

1. Click the Object Creation tab.

   Figure 4–33 Selecting and Propagating Creations

   
   

2. You can enable or disable the flow of creations as follows:

   • Enable Object creations flow from Sun Java System Directory Server to Windows to propagate creations from the Directory Server environment to your Windows servers.

   • Enable Object creations flow from Windows to Sun Java System Directory Server to propagate creations from the Windows environment to your Directory Servers.

   • Enable both options for bidirectional flow.

   • Disable both options to prevent user creations from propagating from one system to the other. (Default).

3. To add, edit, or delete creation attributes to synchronize between systems, click the Creation Attributes button located under the selected option(s).

   The Creation Attribute Mappings and Values dialog box displays.

   You can use either of the dialog boxes to specify new creation attributes, edit, or delete existing attributes. For more information, see Specifying New Creation Attributes.

   Note –

   To satisfy schema constraints regarding required attributes for user object classes, you may have to specify additional attributes to flow through the system during a user creation.

   Additional attributes are not necessary if you specified the required attributes as modification attributes (as described in Selecting and Mapping User Attributes).
