2.4. Installing Synchronization Services

If Windows synchronization will be used on a Windows server in conjunction with a Red Hat Directory Server 7.1 server, then install the 7.1 SP6 Windows Sync services on the Windows machine:

  1. Uninstall the Password Sync services. If the Windows sync peer is an NT server, then also uninstall the User Sync service. This is described in the Directory Server 7.1 Administrator's Guide, available at http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/dir-server/ag/7.1/sync.html#2878810.

    NOTE

    The SSL databases or keystore are preserved and can be re-used after upgrade is complete.

  2. Copy the the updated msi files from /opt/redhat-ds/winsync/ to the Windows system.

  3. Double-click the new msi files to install them.

  4. Reboot the Windows system after re-installing the Password Sync and, on NT, User Sync services.

  5. Perform a full resynchronization between the Directory Server and Windows sync servers.

    1. In the Directory Server Console, click the Configuration tab.

    2. Expand the Replication folder in the left navigation window.

    3. Click the name of the Directory Server database which is synchronized with the Windows directory, and select the sync agreement.

    4. Select manual synchronization from the drop-down menu.
