Preface

Oracle Identity Sychronization for Windows 6.0 Service Pack 1 is a component of Oracle Directory Server Enterprise Edition.

Identity Sychronization for Windows synchronizes user account information, including passwords, between Oracle Directory Server Enterprise Edition and Windows (both Active Directory and Windows NT). Identity Synchronization for Windows helps build a scalable and security enriched password synchronization solution for small, medium, and large enterprises.

These Identity Synchronization for Windows 6 Service Pack 1 Release Notes provide instructions for migrating previous versions of Identity Synchronization for Windows, and for installing a new instance of Identity Synchronization for Windows where no instance already exists.

Audience

This guide is intended for administrators of Oracle Directory Server Enterprise Edition, and Identity Synchronization for Windows software.
