triggering synchronization from action/web script

[mrksjs]

Hi.

we have ldap integrated to our installation. i dont want to configure a cron job for this since i want to trigger the synchronization from hand. for example by/after calling a webscript.
can i access the method/class for triggering ldap-synchronization from a java class/java script?

I'm afraid there is no such javascript api,you can use java class org.alfresco.repo.security.sync.UserRegistrySynchronizer or make a make a java or javascript wrapper.

OR You can trigger sync manually by JMX mbean.

MBeans -> Alfresco -> Schedule -> MonitoredCronTrigger-> syncTrigger ->Operation Tab -> excuteNow()

Or on 4.2 Enterprise there's a JMX action for sync that can be accessed from the admin console or a JMX client.

There's also a web script /enterprise/admin/admin-sync   although it is not part of the alfresco public API.
