Description

The ARSLSYNC program provides the following functions:

• Synchronize users from LDAP to Content Manager OnDemand
• Synchronize groups from LDAP to Content Manager OnDemand
• Synchronize group membership from LDAP to Content Manager OnDemand
• Ignore lists for both users and groups
• Create viewable success and failure system log messages (including manifest file)
• Run in preview mode only (if desired)
• Run with verbose output (if desired)

The ARSLSYNC program can be configured to run as a Windows scheduled task or a Unix cron job, or run manually from a properly configured Content Manager OnDemand command prompt.

To conform to Content Manager OnDemand user and group naming standards, any special characters from LDAP will be converted to the underscore (_) character. This includes the following characters:

• asterisk ( * )
• percent ( % )
• plus ( + )
• left bracket ( [ )
• right bracket ( ] )
• double quote ( " )
• blank

For example, an LDAP user with a samAccountName of ‘cmod admin’ will be imported into Content Manager OnDemand as ‘cmod_admin’. Although this scenario is not common, you should confirm with your LDAP administrator that this conversion will not result in the attempted creation of duplicate IDs.
