Hello,
I have a Network with two Windows 2000 server , I suppose one is
master (or primary) and one is secondary - I don't know exactly the
vocabulary of Windows. the AD is "replicated" over the two Windows Server
I installed synchronization between the FDS server and the AD on a
host (say Windows-1 server), with Agreement replication
then I installed the password sync on the Windows-1 host.
All is ok when the password is changed on the Windows-1 server, the
password is synchronized to the FDS.
Now when a user change his password on a windows XP station in the AD
(the operation is CTRL+ALT+DEL then change password) the password is
not necessary sync to the FDS.
my hypothesis : it seems it depends on which windows server the
password has been changed. Some time the password is sync when, I
suppose, the Windows1 server answer to the request to change the
password, but when the windows2 server answer , then the password is
not sync.
is my hypothesis correct ?
Yes, it is correct.
Password is captured in clear by passsync service into the AD server
witch is used by workstation for changing password operation.
Master AD server give password to slave servers in no-clear mode and
crypted password can not be captured by passsync service.
Can I install the password sync programm on the other Windows2 server
even if the replicated agreement is beetween FDS and Windows1 server ?
wich will behavior be ?
No, you can't.
In the AD-FDS synchronization architecture, only one synchronization is
allowed.
If you install two passsync services into two AD servers you take risks
to create problems in replication.
cf : http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/dir-server/ag/8.0/Windows_Sync.html
"WARNING : There can only be a single sync agreement between the
Directory Server environment and the Active Directory environment.
Multiple sync agreements to the same Active Directory domain can create
entry conflicts."
This is the point of failure of the FDS/windows sync architecture.
