Running a simulation of the LDAP Directory synchronization
Complete the following steps to run a simulation before the LDAP Synchronization Service is run to verify that the changes are correct.
LDAP Synchronization makes changes to your user data on the VIP Authentication Service. You should run a simulation before the LDAP Synchronization Service is run (either manually, or automatically on schedule) to verify that the changes are correct. If the LDAP Directory Synchronization service makes changes to your VIP Authentication Service previously, you can also revert those changes by selecting a previous version from this page.
- To run a simulation of the LDAP Directory synchronization:
- From theUser Store > LDAP Directory Synchronizationpage, do one of the following steps:
- If you are configuring your LDAP Directory Synchronization service for the first time or modifying an existing configuration, clickRun Simulationafter entering the configuration settings.
- If you are running a simulation without modifying the settings, clickRun Simulation.
The simulation runs in the background. You receive an email when the simulation is complete. Review the simulation results to verify that the changes are correct before performing any synchronization. - Once you are notified that the simulation is complete, return to theUser Store > LDAP Directory Synchronizationpage to review the changes. If the changes are correct, selectChoose this versionand clickSubmit. ClickUndo Changesto see details of the user data that is to be changed.If multiple versions are available, select the version with the correct changes.
The service runs automatically at the next scheduled time. However, you can optionally run a manual synchronization after verifying the simulated changes.
