Installing LDAP Sync

LDAP Sync is a command line tool that can be used to synchronize the Microsoft Active Directory (AD) or Oracle Directory Services (ODS) and the Automic system user objects; that is, Automation Engine (AE) users and user groups.

The Automation Engine and the Java components, such as AWI, communicate using TLS/SSL. These components establish a connection with the Java communication process (JCP), which uses trusted certificates to prove its identity to other communication partners.

When you used certificates signed by a CA, the certificates are stored in the respective Java or OS store by default; that is the Java trust store for Java components. In this case, you only have to check that the root certificates already are in the respective store.

If you do not want to use the default locations for the relevant component, make sure you use the trustedCertFolder= parameter in the respective configuration (INI) file to define the path to the folder where the trusted certificates are stored.

For more information, see TLS/SSL Considerations for Automic Automation and Securing Connections to the AE (TLS/SSL).
