The Dirsync window is located at the bottom of the IMTA Property Book (see FIGURE 3-6).
The Directory Synchronization window includes the following fields:
The channel can perform the following types of directory synchronization:
| - | Full: The channel synchronizes all local and foreign entries. This option should be used the first time a channel is synchronized. Thereafter, full synchronization should be used once per week for configurations. |
| - | Full-Foreign: The channel synchronizes all foreign entries only. Full-foreign synchronization should be used once per week for configurations. |
| - | Incremental: The channel receives only additions, deletions, and changes to local and foreign entries. Incremental synchronization should be scheduled daily. |
| - | None: The channel does not participate in directory synchronization. |
This is the email address of the dirsync client. This address corresponds to the account that is sending updates to the Central Directory. For each channel that is participating in dirsync, you will have to refer to the client setup to get the information required. This address will be of the form:cc:Mailadmin@postoffice.channelname.machinename.domain
where the local host name is fully qualified. The postoffice in the address is the local postoffice, and not the gateway postoffice.
Note - If you don't know what the correct address should be, run an export on your client and watch the logs on the server. The server logs who it got a message from and who it expected the message from. Change your configuration so that the client address matches the actual sender. If the SMCS administrator's name in cc:Mail has a space, use "" to enclose the name. For example, "\"SMCS Admin\" @postoffice.channelname.localhostname".
When the directories are synchronized, both parameters specify how the propagation of new or deleted entries flow to and from the directory. To select an option, click on the box next to propagation label. Retain the default values if you are unsure.
|
|
To Central Directory (CD): This enables you to copy any new or deleted directory information from the channel directories (also known as the subordinate or slave directories) to the central directory. |
|
|
From Central Directory: This enables you to copy any new or deleted directory information from the central directory to the channel directories (also known as the subordinate or slave directories). |
|
|
Bi-directional: Changes made to either the central or the channel directories are propagated to and from both directories. |
When the directories are synchronized, this parameter specifies how the propagation of modified entries flow to and from the directory. To select an option, click on the box next to propagation label. Retain the default values if you are unsure.
|
|
To Central Directory (CD): This enables you to copy any modified directory information from the channel directories (also known as the subordinate or slave directories) to the central directory (also known as the LDAP directory). |

|
From Central Directory: This enables you to copy any modified directory information from the central directory (also known as the LDAP directory) to the channel directories (also known as the subordinate or slave directories). |
