Overview

Synchronization agent is responsible for synchronizing IPA and Samba DIT's. The synchronization process is described in this page.

Management Operations

The following methods can be used to manage the synchronization process.

initialize()

This method initializes IPA and Samba directories.

start() and stop()

This method enable/disable the Change Log Monitor and Syncback Module.

Synchronization Operations

The following methods can be invoked by the Change Log Manager or Syncback Module to execute the synchronization process.

ipaObjectAdded(dn, attributes)

This method should be invoked when an IPA object is added. It will create the corresponding Samba object.

ipaObjectModified(dn, modifications)

This method should be invoked when an IPA object is modified. It will update the corresponding Samba object.

ipaObjectRenamed(dn, newRdn, deleteOldRdn)

This method should be invoked when an IPA object is renamed. It will rename the corresponding Samba object.

ipaObjectDeleted(dn)

This method should be invoked when an IPA object is deleted. It will remove the corresponding Samba object.

sambaObjectAdded(dn, attributes)

This method should be invoked when an Samba object is added. It will create the corresponding IPA object.

sambaObjectModified(dn, modifications)

This method should be invoked when an Samba object is modified. It will update the corresponding IPA object.

sambaObjectRenamed(dn, newRdn, deleteOldRdn)

This method should be invoked when an Samba object is renamed. It will rename the corresponding IPA object.

sambaObjectDeleted(dn)

This method should be invoked when an Samba object is deleted. It will remove the corresponding IPA object.

Error Recovery Operations

The following methods can be invoked to recover from errors.

ipaSyncAll()

This method will synchronize all IPA objects into Samba.

sambaSyncAll()

This method will synchronize all Samba objects into IPA.

ipaSyncObject(dn)

This method will synchronize a single IPA object into Samba.

sambaSyncObject(dn)

This method will synchronize a single Samba object into IPA.
