Activating cron tasks to synchronize data

Synchronization keeps data in the system current with data in the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) directory server. You activate cron tasks to synchronize the data.

Before you begin

You must log on to the system as an administrative user. The only directories that are supported are IBM® Tivoli® Directory Server and Microsoft Active Directory.

Procedure

  1. Open the Cron Task Setup application and select the appropriate cron task:
    Option Description
    If you use Active Directory and this directory is the only directory you use regardless of the application server you use Select the LDAPSYNC cron task
    If you use Active Directory, a directory platform or directory instance, and another directory, only Virtual Member Manager (VMM) and IBM WebSphere® Application Server support these directories. Select the VMMSYNC cron task
  2. In the Cron Task Instances section of the Cron Task tab, select the Active check box.
  3. Specify a schedule for the cron task and save the changes. Allow the cron task run to synchronize all the users and groups from the LDAP directory server into the database tables.
