For this procedure, in Management Agent Designer, on the
Select Containers page, you can select the containers that
contain objects that you want to synchronize. You also specify
credentials the management agent uses to connect to the server when
the management agent runs. To complete this procedure, you must be logged on as a member of the MIISAdmins security group.
This procedure applies to management agents for the following
Microsoft Identity Integration Server 2003 editions:
Enterprise Edition
Identity Integration Feature Pack for Active Directory
Novell eDirectory
N\A
To configure containers
To filter and select specific containers for a directory
partition, in Management Agent Designer, on the Select
Containers page, click Containers, and then deselect
those containers that contain objects you do not want to
synchronize. By default the highest level container and all child
containers for a directory partition are selected. You must select
at least one container that contains the objects that you want to
synchronize.
To filter and select specific containers where permissions or
schema configuration do not allow selecting higher-level
containers, or to exclude specific containers, click
Containers, then click Advanced, and then in
Advanced Container, do any of the following:
To add a container, in Specify additional container to
add, type the container name, then select Include, and
then click Add.
To exclude a specific container when its parent container is
selected, in Specify additional container to add, type the
container name, then select Exclude container, and then
click Add.
To remove a container, in Containers to synchronize,
select a container, and then click Remove.
Notes
By default, all containers that exist in a directory partition
are selected. However, this does not mean that all objects in those
containers will be synchronized. When a container is selected, the
objects of that container must be selected to be synchronized on
the Select Object Types page.
When you select containers, a blue check mark in a white box
next to a container indicates that the parent container and all of
the child containers are selected. A white check mark in a gray box
indicates that the parent container is selected and that one or
more child containers are not selected. No check mark in a grey box
indicates that at least one child container is selected, but the
parent container is not selected. When you create a new management
agent, the check boxes next to all of the container objects for the
selected partitions are selected by default.
