Synchronization Agent Configuration

Domain

Do either of the following:

• Select + New domain, type a domain name, and then configure the settings for the domain. The domain name should already exist on the Directory Services page of the TMWS management console.

  After you click Apply, the Synchronization Agent saves the domain configurations, and you can see the domain name in the drop-down list.

• Select a configured domain name from the drop-down list, and then click Delete.

  The Synchronization Agent removes the domain and its configurations.

The Synchronization Agent supports synchronizing user and group data on multiple configured domains at the same time.

Server Hostname

Type the Active Directory host name or IP address. Change the port number only if you use a different port for the Active Directory server.

If you use a global catalog server or a trusting domain, set Port to 3268 or 3269 based on whether the corresponding server uses LDAP or LDAPS.
