GADS includes several ways to customize search rules and filters. When
collecting information from your LDAP server, you can define LDAP queries to
extract information. Directory Sync supports RFC 2254, the international standard
on LDAP Filters. For the details, see RFC 2254:
GADS also includes some non-LDAP filters. In these, you can use regular
expressions to filter for patterns of text. Regular expressions use standard Java
regular expression syntax, which is similar to most standard regular expression
syntax standards.
In Configuration Manager, required fields are marked by red highlight.
Configuration Files
In Configuration Manager, you can save or load configuration files to manage
multiple configuration files and store settings for later. All configuration files are
XML files.
Important:
Store your configuration files in a safe and secure place. Exposed
configuration files are security risks.
To save configuration settings under a new name, select File > Save As from the
top menu and specify the directory and filename you wish to use. If you overwrite
an existing file, Configuration Manager will save the existing file as a copy with the
timestamp in the file name.
To save configuration settings under the existing name, select File > Save from
the top menu. If you are editing a new configuration file you haven’t saved yet, this
option will be grayed out. If you overwrite an existing file, Configuration Manager
will save the previous file as a copy with the timestamp of when the file was
overwritten.
To open a configuration file, select File > Open from the top menu and choose the
configuration file. The user interface will then show the settings for that
configuration file. To open a recent configuration file, select File > Open Recent
and choose the configuration file.
To start a new configuration file, select File > New from the top menu.
Configuration Manager will load a new file with no configuration rules specified.
If you copy a configuration file to another server, use the Configuration Manager
on the new server to open the file and reenter sensitive data, such as passwords,
and OAuth reauthorization.
Multiple Configuration Files
If you want to use multiple configuration files, you may need extra planning and
preparation. You may wish to use multiple configuration files because of a large
deployment that needs to be split into smaller synchronizations, or to reduce
performance load, or to vary the rate of synchronization,
