Google Search Appliance Connectors Deploying the Connector for Active Directory - Manual (Page 5)

Automatic updates every 15 minutes
After the initial process completes, the connector periodically sends updates to the search
appliance, according to the value set in the connector configuration option
adaptor.incrementalPollPeriodSecs
. The default interval value is 15 minutes, but
you can configure it to suit your needs. For more information, see “Common configuration
options” in the
Administration Guide .
ACL support
The Connector for Active Directory 4.0 supports:
●
Active Directory groups
●
Nested Active Directory groups
Domain support
The variable ad.servers contains a list of server identifiers. Each value in the
ad.servers
list is an alias for one particular domain.
For example, for a single domain, you might create the following configuration:
gsa.hostname=yourgsa.example.com
ad.defaultUser=Admin
ad.defaultPassword=PassW0RD
ad.servers=example
ad.servers.example.host=111.111.111.111
ad.servers.example.method=standard
ad.servers.example.port=389
A single instance of Active Directory connector can acquire groups from multiple Active
Directory servers. Multiple domain support requires one connector per set of trusted
domains.
If several domains have trust relationships among them all, then use one connector for all
domains to successfully resolve Foreign Security Principals. Domains with no trust
relationships can be traversed by different connectors.
For example, if domain1 and domain2 have trust relationships, use the following
configuration:
