The prepare-endpoint-server
tool sets up any communication variances
that may occur between PingDataSync Server and the external servers. Typically,
directory servers can have different security settings, privileges, and passwords
configured on the Sync Source that might reject the import of entries in the Sync
Destination.
The prepare-endpoint-server
tool also creates a Sync User Account
and its privileges on all of the external servers (see Sync user account for more detailed information). The
prepare-endpoint-server
tool verifies that the account has the
proper privileges to access the firstChangeNumber
and
lastChangeNumber
attributes in the root DSE entry so that it
can access the latest changes. If the Sync User does not have the proper privileges,
PingDataSync Server displays a warning message, which is saved in the
logs/prepare- endpoint-server.log
file.
If the
synchronization topology was created using the
create-sync-pipe-config
tool, this command does not need to
be run. It is already part of the create-sync-pipe-config
process.
Perform the following steps to prepare PingDataSync Server for external server communication:
