Basic directory synchronization steps
In the cloud portal
1.
Configure directory synchronization for your account.
2.
Set up authentication for the synchronization client. Create a dedicated user name and password for the client to gain access to the cloud service.
Refer to the portal Help for instructions on setting up the cloud portal for directory synchronization.
In your network
1.
Download and install the Directory Synchronization Client. See Installing the Directory Synchronization Client.
2.
Set up the client. See Setting up the Directory Synchronization Client.
3.
Create a configuration profile. See Creating and Modifying Configuration Profiles.
4.
Test the client to make sure it is returning the correct data from your LDAP server. If you are an existing customer switching to LDAP for the first time, you should compare the data with that which already exists on the portal. See Testing an update.
5.
Initiate a synchronization. See Performing a synchronization update.
6.
Schedule automatic synchronization. We suggest that you schedule the synchronization process to run twice a day. See Scheduling the synchronization process.
