2.2. Step 2: Configure the Active Directory Domain

The Active Directory domain has to be properly configured for synchronization to work.

NOTE

For more detailed information, see the appropriate Windows documentation.

2.Make sure that the Active Directory password complexity policies are enabled so that the Password Sync service will run.

Run secpol.msc, and select Security Settings, then Account Policies, and Password Policy. Make sure that Password must meet complexity requirements is selected.

3.Set up SSL on the Active Directory server.

a.Install a certificate authority in the Windows Components section in Add/Remove Programs.

b.Select the Enterprise Root CA option.

c.Reboot the Active Directory server. If IIS web services are running, the CA certificate can be accessed by opening http://servername/certsrv.

d.Set up the Active Directory server to use the SSL server cert.

i.Create a certificate request .inf, using the fully-qualified domain name of the Active Directory as the certificate subject.

ii.Request the certificate by running the following command on the Active Directory machine:

certreq -new request.inf request.req

iii. Submit the request to the Active Directory CA. For example:

certreq -submit request.req certnew.cer
