Does anyone know how to force an LDAP sync vs. waiting for the scheduled daily sync to happen? Is this documented anywhere?
Thanks,
Jon

Hi Jon,
You can go to the Console -> Portal -> Settings -> LDAP Synch and then choose the option "Daily" for "Perform a Re-sync Every". That will synch the LDAP daily.

In the Sync Agreement, look for the "Next Re-Sync Time" field. This is the time, as the name implies, when the LDAP Sync will run next.
If you update that time to be a few minutes into the future, then re-save the agreement, it will run at the designated time.
Note: The time is UTC and is the time on the App Server node where LDAP sync runs. So, ssh to that node and run a "date" to see what time that node currently thinks it is, then adjust your "Next Re-Sync Time" accordingly.
Also note that any future syncs will happen based on this time. For example, if you sync Daily, it will resync 24 hours from the time you set.
If that's not ideal (e.g.: sync would be running in the middle of the business day), then make sure to reset the next re-sync time to something more appropriate.
You can turn up "Directory Services" debugging to watch the progress. DEBUG will, as the name implies, kick out alot of detail. I'd opt for INFO, unless you want to see all the gory details.

Great detail, Christopher! This helps a ton.
Thanks,
