The Sync sources must consist of one or more instances of the following directory or proxy servers with PingDataSync:

  • PingDirectory Server and PingDirectoryProxy Server 3.0.5 or later
  • Nokia 8661 Directory Server
  • A Sync destination of any type

You should not configure PingDataSync to interact with backend source servers through a load balancer. You can use PingDirectoryProxy for this configuration instead, assuming you are using PingDirectory servers as your backends.

Note:

Although the PingDirectoryProxy server and Nokia 8661 Directory Proxy Server can front other vendor’s directory servers, such as Active Directory (AD)Active Directory (AD)AD A directory service for Windows domain networks, included in most Windows Server operation systems. and Sun DSEE, for processing LDAP operations, PingDataSync cannot synchronize changes from these sources through a proxy server. Synchronizing changes directly from AD and Sun DSEE cannot be done with notification mode.
