Ldap Synchronization - Symantec 10490452 - Mail Security 8220 Administration Manual

LDAP synchronization

To enable or disable the Conduit, Live Update, Filter Engine or MTA
Select a host and click the Status link which reports either Running or
◆
Stopped depending on the status of the service being selected.
This will take you to the Services page in Editing Scanners. For more
information about this page, see
page 20. From the Services page, either stop or start the desired service.
You can synchronize user, alias, group and distribution list data and view
synchronization details from LDAP directories with the Control Center. When
an LDAP server initially is attached to the Control Center, a full synchronization
is performed automatically. Synchronization is then performed according to the
defined schedule. The default schedule is once per day.
Work with the LDAP Synchronization page
The following steps describe how to perform some common tasks on the LDAP
Synchronization page.
To view information about LDAP synchronization
In the Control Center, click Status > LDAP Synchronization.
◆
To synchronize fewer than 1,000 directory entries before the next update
◆ On the LDAP Synchronization page, check the box next to the source to
synchronize and click Synchronize Changes.
Note: The Synchronize Changes option is not available to Domino users. Use Full
Synchronization instead.
To synchronize more than 1,000 directory entries before the next update
On the LDAP Synchronization page, check the box next to the source to
synchronize and click Full Synchronization.
When a full synchronization is performed, all LDAP source records are erased
from the Control Center and synchronized to new LDAP source records.
Synchronization takes some time to be initiated and performed, depending on
the number of records being synchronized. As a benchmark, a user population of
25,000 users and 5,000 distribution lists (with nesting levels ranging from 1-10),
can take as much as 7.5 hours on a Dell 1850 running Linux.
