Description: 

The Active Directory Synchronization Agent should be used when the end-users and groups data is to be synced with the  Active Directory to the CYREN WebSecurity Cloud.

Steps:

• Login to WebSecurity Admin Console.
• Verify that the Active Directory Synchronization is enabled. 
• Click Settings, open the WebSecurity tab, and scroll to the Active Directory Synchronization section.
• Click the Download icon to download the Active Directory Sync Agent.  
  
  • Note: Don’t change the name of the msi file and also make sure that the file name ends with the # symbol
    For example: adsyncagent_org0284605de8728f3f4b263f7a16d3d278_srvus.cpsserv.com#
  • Note: Please check the minimum requirements for running the ADSync Agent mentioned below. 

• Execute the ADSync MSI installer.
• Upon completion of the installation the Synchronization Agent Configuration window opens.
• The Active Directory Synchronization options: 
  
  • LDAP URL: used to set up the URL for the Active Directory Server (for example: LDAP://OU=myOrgUnit,DC=corp,DC=myCompany,DC=com)
  • Binding User: provide the username which will be used for reading the AD data.
  • Password: provide the password of the binding user.
  • Repeat password: verify the binding user password.
  • The e-mail object property is the unique identifier for the WebSecurity, make sure it is set. 

Note: Initial sync will take sometime to update the user accounts based on the users volume.

• Once the initial Sync is completed the users and groups information will get updated in the CYREN portal.
• By default, a task scheduler will be created for ADSync Agent to update any changes in the Active Directory to the WebSecurity portal. By default, a scheduler is set to run every 10 minutes. 

Note: CYREN captures only first & last name, email address and fax numbers. User passwords are not read or copied from the Active Directory.

ADSync Agent minimum requirements:

• Microsoft .Net4.5 Framework
• Windows Server 2008 RC2 or higher
• Workstations with Windows 7 or higher
• 32 or 64 bit
