Release 1.3.32, October 2009

The directory sync utility includes several ways to customize search rules and
filters. When collecting information from your LDAP server, you can define LDAP
queries to extract information. The directory sync utility supports RFC 2254, the
international standard on LDAP Filters. For the details, see RFC 2254:

http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2254.txt

The directory sync utility 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.

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.

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 haven’t saved yet, this option will be greyed 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.
