Hi all,
A quick sanity check: Is there any reason why I can't synchronize from
an Apache DS backend in Syncope? I can create users in Syncope and
propagate them to the resource fine, but I can't do the reverse.
Hi Colm,
synchronization from an external resource might fail for many different
reasons: I'd suggest to increase the level for the
'org.apache.syncope.core.scheduling' logger in order to have some
insight about the failure.
Generally speaking, you can perform a proper synchronization only when
the underlying connector supports the SYNC operation (and has the
correspondent capability enabled in Syncope). The LDAP connector,
specifically, only supports that for Sun Directory Server and OpenDS /
OpenDJ.
When SYNC operation is not supported / enabled, you can only perform a
'full reconciliation' - the difference is that with the latter all
entries are sent at every request from the external resource, while the
former only sends the delta compared to prior call.
You can choose full reconciliation from the admin console, when editing
the resource.
Regards.
