System Requirements

Identity Syncronizer for Hosted Exchange connector consists of three components:

  1. The IDSync Management Studio - The IDSync Management Studio is typically installed on a server machine at the PSA's customer site. This interface provides screens for all of the configuration of the IDSync system and provides a means to install and monitor the services which are necessary for cyclical communications between active directory and the PSA system. 
  2. The IDSync Agent Service - The IDSync Agent Service is installed on each non-read only domain controller in a PSA's customer's active directory.  This component captures password information from Active Directory and makes that information available for the purposes of synchronization of passwords with the PSA's customer portal.
  3. The IDSync MMC Components - The IDSync MMC Components can be installed on any machine running the Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in in the PSA's customer's active directory.  This component adds IDSync specific tabs to the Active Directory Users and Computers screens for the purpose of configuring and provisioning contacts within the PSA system.

** All of the machines on which the IDSync Components are installed will require connectivity to the active directory domain for the Windows Network and to a Microsoft SQL database server. If Microsoft SQL is not available at the location, IDSync can (optionally) install Microsoft SQL Express.
