About Configuration
Configuration Manager is a step-by-step graphical user interface that walks you
through creating and testing an XML configuration file for Google Apps Directory
Sync (GADS).
To start the application, run the GADS Configuration Manager from the Start
menu, or run
config-manager from the command line in the directory where you
installed Directory Sync.
Note: Before you use Configuration Manager, collect information about your LDAP
directory server and your Google Apps setup. For more information, see “Getting
Started” on page 23.
In Configuration Manager, you can:
• Set up and test a connection to Google Apps.
• Configure which users, groups, and shared contacts in Google Apps to
synchronize.
• Set up and test a connection to your LDAP server.
• Configure LDAP search criteria for synchronization.
• Set up notifications and logging.
• Run a simulated synchronization to verify your settings.
• Run a manual synchronization.
Once you have set up your configuration in Configuration Manager, you can run
your actual synchronization from the command line. See “Synchronization” on
page 135.
Configuration Manager walks you through each step of configuring GADS. Once
you have finished each page, click Next to go to the next step. You can also go
back to previous steps with the Previous button, or jump directly to any step using
the left side navigation menu.
