Before you can synchronize an external system with Genetec ClearID™, you must first configure the Genetec ClearID™ One Identity Synchronization Tool synchronization
settings.
Before you begin
- Check your license information: Part number
CD-IDSYNC-SERVICE-1Y is required for One Identity Synchronization Tool import.
IMPORTANT: Make sure that your files are not being edited and are closed, because
the synchronization tool locks the file during the synchronization process.
What you should know
This procedure is for IT or security personnel responsible for external system
attributes administration.
Synchronization can be performed manually using the
Synchronize now () option, or
automatically at the Automatic synchronization intervals
specified in the One Identity Synchronization Tool.
Synchronization of external system attributes into ClearID identity attributes is INBOUND only.
CAUTION:
Any changes only made to
identities in ClearID can be overwritten during
the next synchronization from the external system.
Procedure
-
In the One Identity Synchronization Tool Synchronization section,
configure your synchronization settings.
- Automatic synchronization
- Enable automatic synchronization if you want attributes synchronized at a
specified interval.
- Interval
- If automatic synchronization is enabled, choose a synchronization interval:
- Fixed
- Enter a Synchronization interval using the following format:
000d 01h 00m 00s.
For example, every 7 days
would be 007d 00h 00m 00s, or every 12hrs
000d 12h 00m 00s.
- Cron Schedule
- Enter a synchronization interval using the Quartz Cron format. For
example, 00***?*.
For more information, see
quartz-scheduler.org/documentation.
Tip: You can click
Synchronize now
(
)
regardless of any scheduled settings to initiate an immediate
synchronization.
- Synchronize picture
- Choose when to synchronize identity pictures from the external system.
- Always
- Identity pictures are synchronized every time a synchronization occurs.
- Only if missing
- Identity pictures are only synchronized when a synchronization occurs, if
they are missing.
NOTE: Including pictures increases the amount of time that it takes to
import attributes.
- Stop Synchronization on error
- Enable this option to stop synchronization if an error is encountered during the
synchronization process.
- Default web portal access
- Specifies web portal access for synchronized users.
- Grant access
- ClearID web portal access for synchronized users is enabled by
default.
NOTE: The
username field must be mapped to
give web portal access to a ClearID identity.
- There are only two possible values for the User
type mapping: Admin and
User. Any other value entered defaults to
User.
- If the mapping for web portal access is not set, or the value is
empty, the Default web portal access global setting is used.
- No access
- Web portal access for synchronized users is disabled by default.
- Default country
- Choose one of the following:
- No default country
- If a synchronized identity does not include a country attribute, the country
attribute is ignored.
- Default country
- Select a default country. If a synchronized identity does not include a
country attribute, the synchronized identity uses the default country
specified here.
-
Click Save.
Results
The ClearID One Identity Synchronization Tool is now configured to synchronize
attributes from the external system using the
Data sources and
Synchronization settings specified in the tool.
