Executing LDAP Sync

To Execute LDAP Sync

You can execute LDAP Sync with or without parameters:

• To start LDAP Sync without parameters

  In this case, the configuration is read from the XML configuration file stored in the current folder (LDAPSync.xml) and a sync for all clients with a configuration file in the configured location (for example: ./clients) is executed.
  See also: Configuring LDAP Sync and Configuring Client Settings

  Example: java -jar LDAPSync.jar

• To start LDAP Sync with parameters

  Use a different configuration file than LDAPSync.xml or specify the selected AE clients to synchronize with LDAP.

  Example: java -jar LDAPSync.jar [Configuration] [Clients] [Log]

  Parameters

  • Configuration

    Long Parameter: --config

    Short Parameter: -c

    Description: Path to the configuration file that should be loaded

    Note: If the Configuration parameter is not set, LDAP Sync will load the configuration from LDAPSync.xml.

  • Clients

    Important! Ensure that no users with the same name exist in client 0 when executing LDAPSync for other clients. Otherwise an error will be triggered.

    Long Parameter: --clients

    Short Parameter: -cl

    Description: Comma-separated list of AE client numbers for which LDAP Sync must be triggered.

    Example 1: Synchronize AE Client 1000 Only

    java -jar LDAPSync.jar -cl "1000"

    Example 2: Synchronize AE Client 1000, 3000 and 4444

    java -jar LDAPSync.jar -cl "1000,3000,4444"

  • Log

    Long Parameter: --log

    Short Parameter:-l

    Description: Sets the log level.

    Values: OFF, ERROR, WARN, INFO, DEBUG, TRACE, ALL.

    Default: INFO

To Schedule LDAP Sync Executions

Use the AE to set an interval (for example, every 5 or 10 minutes) or to define an event to trigger LDAP Sync when a user is changed or added.
