Installing LDAP Sync

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

As of version 21.0, the Automation Engine and the Java components 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.

You can use the trustedCertFolder= parameter in the respective configuration file to define the path to the folder where the trusted certificates are stored. Otherwise, the certificates should be installed in the Java trust store. For more information, see Securing Connections to the AE (TLS/SSL).

To Install LDAP Sync

  1. Copy the Tools/Ldap.Sync folder (including all subfolders) to your preferred location.
  2. Define your settings in the configuration files.

The LDAP Sync folder contains the following files:

  • LDAPSync.jar
  • LDAPSync.xml
  • client/defaults.xml
  • client/client_[client number].xml: any number of client settings configuration files:
