3.4.1.2. LDAP Synchronization

The LDAP/Active Directory synchronization feature built into the Axigen Mail Server product aims to provide data and option setting synchronization between the email service and an external directory database providing service on the network. This feature facilitates the administration and configuration processes as it ensures and maintains the consistency of the two sub-systems with minimum interaction and supervision overhead.

Note: Before attempting to interact with this feature, the Axigen mail server administrators need to have a firm understanding of the LDAP directory services and their administration or of the Microsoft Active Directory management process. Neither training in this respect nor support for are documented herein, as they fall under the sole responsibility of the customer, with the exception of specific options and procedures needed to be used in order to achieve certain tasks.

The Active Directory (AD) is based on regular LDAP implementations and the same methods can be used to access it as for the OpenLDAP software package. Consequently, the LDAP sync feature is compatible with both solutions. If one is interested in using the LDAP sync feature, one will have to make sure the minimum requirements are met so incompatibility issues are avoided entirely.
