Configuring synchronization settings

Before you can synchronize an external system with Genetec ClearID™, you must first configure the Genetec ClearID™ One Identity Synchronization Tool synchronization settings.

1. 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.
