• Easy configuration: The configuration manager walks you through setting up exclusions, mappings and other filters for users data mapping.
• One-way data push: Pushes your directory server data to the message security service to map your user base in one or more organizations
• Secure data transmission: Connects via secure SSL.
• Operation limits: Safeguards limit number of deletions and additions of user accounts
• Simulated sync: Validates data before writing to the message security service
• Automated sync: Supports scheduled synchronizations with administrative logs and alerts.

Requirements:

• See the System Requirements for the supported platforms
• Google Apps Directory Sync for Email Security does not support synchronization of user data with Google Web Security for Enterprise service or other Google Apps products
  

Below is overview of the steps to use the utility. Please see the Documentation for the instructions, configuration guide, and release notes.

1. Review the system requirements and download the directory sync utility from the Downloads page.
2. After installing the utility, launch the configuration manager.
3. In the configuration manager, configure your LDAP connection settings, your message security service account settings, LDAP queries, and other settings.
4. Run the utility in simulation mode to validate the synchronization.
5. After completing the validation, you can run the utility or use a scheduling utility (e.g. cron job scheduler, Windows scheduler) to initiate the synchronization.

The utility uses the configuration file to connect to your LDAP directory and extract user information. The utility then connects to your message security service and updates the user configuration data.
