Installing Sync Services; Prerequisites For Nt4 - Red Hat DIRECTORY SERVER 7.1 - ADMINISTRATOR Administrator's Manual

In addition to the entry synchronization mechanisms discussed above, the
Password Sync Service is needed to catch password changes made on the
Windows server. Without the Password Sync Service, it would be impossible to
have inbound password sync because passwords are hashed once stored in Active
Directory, and the hashing function is incompatible with that used by Directory
Server. Also, it is not possible to retrieve password values from a Windows server
externally. Outbound passwords are synchronized along with other entry
attributes using a special Directory Server facility for retaining the plaintext
password values in the changelog.

Installing Sync Services

There are two services that can be installed on your Windows machine to
synchronize more aspects of your Directory Server with a Windows server.
• Password Sync must be installed on the Windows server. It synchronizes
password changes made on the Windows server with the corresponding
entries' passwords on the Directory Server.
• The NT4 LDAP Service is installed only on Windows NT4 Server to allow
synchronization operations over LDAP between the Directory Server and
Windows NT4 Server.

Prerequisites for NT4

Before any synchronization service can be installed on a Windows NT4 server, first
make sure that three other programs or libraries are installed:
•
InstMsi.exe
•
shlwapi.dll
• Java 1.5 or later is installed on the NT4 server. Java 1.5 allows SSL to work
(which is required for Password Sync). Without Java 1.5, Windows Sync is
unable to start and will return the error
