Configuration Directory

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 utility, and the installer all read and write the product’s configuration data to and from the configuration directory, including:

• 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's creations, deletions, and attribute modifications

• Attributes to be synchronized and attribute mappings between the two directory environments Active Directory and Directory Server or Windows NT and Directory Server

• Synchronization User Lists in each directory topology

• Log settings
