Configure communication with the source server

Configure communication between PingDataSync and the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) source servers with the prepare-endpoint-server tool. If user accounts do not exist, this tool creates the appropriate user account and its privileges. Also, because the source is an PingDirectory server, this tool enables the changelog.

The prepare-endpoint-server tool can only be used on LDAP directory servers. For the SCIM server, manually create a sync user entry.

Run the prepare-endpoint-server command to set up communication between PingDataSync and the source server(s). The tool will prompt for the bind distinguished name (DN) and password to create the user account and enable the change log.
