Preparing external servers

After configuring the source and destination endpoints, PingDataSync prompts you to prepare each external server. Perform the following steps:

Steps

You must trust the certificate presented to the server and then test the connection.

You can also complete this step after configuring the sync pipes by running the prepare-endpoint-server command.
Configuring this server for synchronization requires admin access. Enter the distinguished name (DN) and password of an account capable of administrating the external directory server.
To limit how long the PingDataSync server can be offline, enter the maximum age of changelog entries. Format the value as <number><time-unit>, using time units of h, d, or w to represent hours, days, or weeks, respectively. For example, 8h represents eight hours.

For high-modification environments, set a smaller value to limit how many changes are stored and prevent excessive changelog growth.
To prepare another server in the topology, follow the prompts. You can reuse the admin credentials from Step 2 to access additional servers.
Repeat these steps for every configured server in the synchronization system.
