LDAP synchronization<br />

Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) server refers to an external corporate<br />

directory that is LDAP- compliant. This utility synchronizes data between a directory<br />

and client databases. Intended audience<br />

To use LDAP Synchronization, you must be knowledgeable about directory server<br />

configuration and maintenance, LDAP attribute customization, and how to work with<br />

LDAP-enabled applications. Information related to these topics is beyond the scope of<br />

this document.<br />

Supported LDAP servers<br />

OTM supports LDAP version 3 and synchronization with the following LDAP servers:<br />

Netscape Directory 3.0<br />

Sun ONE Directory 5.0 and 5.2<br />

Exchange Server 5.5 and 2000<br />

Novell NDS 7.09 and eDirectory 8.7<br />

Active Directory 1.0 and Active Directory for Windows 2000<br />

Operating guidelines<br />

Each type of LDAP server supported by OTM has specific constraints regarding the<br />

maximum number of characters that you are allowed to enter for a given attribute.<br />

Synchronization and update operations may fail if these limitations are not taken into<br />

consideration when entering data in the OTM directory.<br />

LDAP Synchronization is enabled for OTM Directory entries that are in the Published<br />

status. See “Access the Employee Editor” on page 167. Only entries in the<br />

LDAP-compliant external corporate directory that have matching unique identifiers<br />

(UIDs) in the OTM Directory are synchronized. You can manually enter the UIDs in the<br />

OTM Directory entries or import them using the procedure outlined in “Import and<br />

Export” on page 273.<br />
