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.
Note: Before you use Configuration Manager, collect information about your LDAP
directory server and your message security service organizations. For more
information, see “Checklist: Before You Begin” on page 16.‘
In Configuration Manager, you can:
• Set up and test a connection to the message security service.
• Configure which users and orgs in the message security service 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.
Once you have set up your configuration in Configuration Manager, you can run
your actual synchronization from the command line. See “Synchronization” on
page 69.
Configuration Manager does not change the data in your LDAP directory server or
the message security service. It is strictly used to configure and simulate
synchronization.
Google Apps Directory Sync settings are stored as XML configuration files.
Configuration Manager can also load and edit existing configuration files for the
directory sync utility.
Configuration Manager walks you through each step of configuring Google Apps
Directory Sync. 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.
