Synchronizing Passwords for Existing Accounts

Existing user accounts are synchronized when the DirXML driver reports a change in an application. Using iManager, you can force DirXML to resynchronize data on all accounts at once. Doing so allows users to begin participating in password synchronization as soon as they make their next password change.

IMPORTANT:  If you have a large number of objects to synchronize (typically greater than 1000), you might need to adjust some policy settings for Active Directory. For more information, see Migrating A Large Number of Objects in the DirXML Driver for Active Directory Implementation Guide.

  1. Launch iManager by going to http://serveripaddress/nps/iManager.html.

    IMPORTANT:  This URL is case sensitive.

  2. Authenticate to the tree on which you just installed password synchronization, then click DirXML Management > Overview.

  3. Locate the DirXML driver that you just updated, then click Migrate from eDirectory.

    You can check the success of the migration by verifying that a migrated user object now has the nadLoginName attribute.

Individual passwords will be synchronized as soon as a user makes a password change in NT, Active Directory, or eDirectory.
