Step 1: Starting your configuration

The Directory Synchronization Client includes a configuration wizard that leads you through the process of creating or editing a configuration.

To create a configuration profile, click New Configuration on the client’s landing page. This launches the configuration wizard to the Name screen.

Steps

  1. Enter a unique Configuration Name for your profile, using alphanumeric characters.
    Note:

    To later modify an existing profile, select View > Configuration, then:

    1. Use the Configuration drop-down list to make a selection.
    2. If your configuration contains multiple synchronization types, click the tab for the type you want to edit.
    3. Click Modify.

    To copy a profile that you are editing, enter a new configuration name and click Save.

  2. If the Synchronization Type list appears, select a type.
    1. This list is not displayed for those only configuring Mail.
    2. If you are configuring Groups+Users, select Users first, then configure Groups afterward.

    Existing configurations appear in the list with the appended text (configured). To delete the current configuration for a specific synchronization type, select the entry from the drop-down list and click Remove.

  3. Click Next to continue.
