various divisions of a company is stored in an LDAP Directory. This list may<br />

be necessary for various applications such as “Employee Change Requests”<br />

and “Travel Requests.” In such a case, bridging the corporate directory with<br />

those applications/databases is possible with LDAPSync.<br />

► Enforce coherence between Notes Names & Address Books and corporate<br />

directories.<br />

RunAgent can be used to launch ad-hoc agents, for example to update data “on<br />

the fly.” A classic use of this component is to call it within a batch file after<br />

LDAPSync. The agent, in turn, would format Notes Full Names since they<br />

frequently need to be deduced from an X.500 Distinguished Name.<br />

SynchroNSF can replicate data fields from Domino databases of heterogeneous<br />

structure. Employee phone numbers may be automatically set in a database<br />

containing “Software Bug Reports” as well as in a Domino directory.<br />

Figure 8-1shows a typical application using the toolkit.<br />

Figure 8-1 LDAPSync data flow example<br />

LDAPSync can be used to perform one or more of the following types of data<br />

synchronization:<br />

► Simple synchronization<br />

► Broadcast<br />

► Summarization<br />

► Consistency
