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 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

• Log settings
