Preface
This guide describes to plan and implement an Identity Synchronization for Windows system.
Who Should Use This Book
This book is meant for system administrators who manage user identities on various directory resources. You must understand directory technologies and be familiar with directory servers, databases, and the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP).
Once you understand the concepts described in this guide, you will be ready to plan and deploy an Identity Synchronization for Windows solution for your particular environment.
Before You Read This Book
Before trying to deploy Identity Synchronization for Windows, read the following publications:

The SLAMD Distributed Load Generation Engine is a JavaTM application
that is designed to stress test and analyze the performance of network-based
applications. It was originally developed by Sun Microsystems, Inc. to benchmark
and analyze the performance of LDAP directory servers. SLAMD is available
as an open source application under the Sun Public License, an OSI-approved
open source license. To obtain information about SLAMD, go to http://www.slamd.com/. SLAMD is also available as
a java.net project. See https://slamd.dev.java.net/.
Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI) technology supports
accessing the Directory Server using LDAP and DSML v2 from Java applications.
For information about JNDI, see http://java.sun.com/products/jndi/. The JNDI Tutorial contains detailed
descriptions and examples of how to use JNDI. This tutorial is at http://java.sun.com/products/jndi/tutorial/.
Directory Server Enterprise Edition can be licensed as a standalone product, as a component of Sun Java Enterprise System,
as part of a suite of Sun products, such as the Sun Java Identity Management
Suite, or as an add-on package to other software products from Sun. Java Enterprise System is
a software infrastructure that supports enterprise applications distributed
across a network or Internet environment. If Directory Server Enterprise Edition was licensed as a component
of Java Enterprise System, you should be familiar with the system documentation at http://docs.sun.com/coll/1286.3.
Identity Synchronization for Windows uses Message Queue with
a restricted license. Message Queue documentation is available at http://docs.sun.com/coll/1307.2.
Identity Synchronization for Windows works with Microsoft Windows password policies.
Redistributable Files
Directory Server Enterprise Edition does not provide any files that you can redistribute.
Default Paths and Command
Locations
This section explains the default paths used in the documentation, and
gives the locations of commands on different operating systems and deployment
types.
Default Paths
The table in this section describes the default paths that are used
in this document. For complete descriptions of the files installed, see the
following product documentation.
Table P–2 Default Paths
|
Placeholder
|
Description
|
Default Value
|
|
install-path
|
Represents the base installation directory for Directory Server Enterprise Edition software.
The software is installed in directories below this base install-path. For example, Directory Server software is installed in install-path/ds6/.
|
When you install from a zip distribution using dsee_deploy(1M), the default install-path is
the current directory. You can set the install-path using
the -i option of the dsee_deploy command.
When you install from a native package distribution, such as you would
using the Java Enterprise System installer, the default install-path is
one of the following locations:
-
Solaris systems - /opt/SUNWdsee/.
-
Red Hat systems - /opt/sun/.
-
Windows systems - C:\Program Files\Sun\JavaES5\DSEE.
|
|
instance-path
|
Represents the full path to an instance of Directory Server or Directory Proxy Server.
The documentation uses /local/ds/ for Directory Server and /local/dps/ for Directory Proxy Server.
|
No default path exists. Instance paths must nevertheless always be found
on a local file system.
The following directories are recommended:
/var on Solaris systems
/global if you are using Sun Cluster
|
|
serverroot
|
Represents
the parent directory of the Identity Synchronization for Windows installation location
|
Depends on your installation. Note the concept of a serverroot no longer exists for Directory Server.
|
|
isw-hostname
|
Represents the Identity Synchronization for Windows instance directory
|
Depends on your installation
|
|
/path/to/cert8.db
|
Represents the default path and file name of the
client’s certificate database for Identity Synchronization for Windows
|
current-working-dir/cert8.db
|
|
serverroot/isw-hostname/logs/
|
Represents
the default path to the Identity Synchronization for Windows local logs for the System Manager,
each connector, and the Central Logger
|
Depends on your installation
|
|
serverroot/isw-hostname/logs/central/
|
Represents
the default path to the Identity Synchronization for Windows central logs
|
Depends on your installation
