Quick Question: How to force an ldap sync

[bruyeria]

Hello All.

I have edited my ldap-syncronization-context file, ldap-syncronization.properties, ldap-authentication-context, and ldap-authentication.properties. I have also added the usual lines to log4j to log ldap output.


I can succesfully log into alfresco using ldap users. But i want to run a sync.  If my system date says 13:15 i set the syncs to 13:20 or something along those lines, restart alfresco. but its not firing.

is there any way i can run the process manually?

Hi,

You'll find the information in:

/opt/Alfresco/tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/extension/ldap-synchronisation.properties
‍‍‍

and the explication about cron :

Hello.
    Thanks for the reply, I have looked through the documents but i still havent been able to found how to force an ldap sync.  I understand perfectly how a cron works. However i do not wish to set it up untill i have completed my tests which means i need to run ldap sync untill im satisfied with the results.


    Is there some sort of command line tool i can use?

Hey, try putting this in your alfresco-global.properties file

synchronization.import.cron=0 0/10 * ? * *

this line means you will do a sync every 10 minutes starting in the minutes 00
more details on how to configure the time intervals, here:

About the synchronization.import.cron maybe this link can help:

i also can't find any possibility using webscripts to do this. it has something todo with issuing java directly i guess.

and there still no usefull reply ( i'm sorry too ). Is there nobody from alfresco who can give us a proper answer? It seems like a pretty straighforward function though.

Cheers.
