Hi everyone,
Does anyone know what could cause the external source configuration not to synchronize with AD even though it is set up correctly and connected?
Maybe you know what permissions in AD does the user for synchronization need to have?
The only thing in documentation is "Cisco recommends that this user be the Service Account and that password retention policies are not applied to it."
Kind regards

There are many points :-)
* firewall / network issue
* configuration issue on the TMS
* wrong user / password
* wrong dn / search space
* wrong permissions
* ...
In general it needs permission to read the user DN values which are listed in the provisioning guide.
helpful tools are an ldap browser and a packet analyzer and some ad/ldap knowledge

If anyone has a similar issue, the resolution is to disable replication and reinstall the OpenDS database on the VCS.
Very strange, but it worked..

Do you remember if you saw a specific error message (either in the Prov. Dir. or on the TMS Agent diagnostics)
on the TMS webinterface or in the logs?
To do a manual sync and then get some more info on how the output looks sounds like a good idea in this case.
When you have such an issue like you had, I would also expect that the TMS agent diagnostics would have given you an error.
Good that you fixed it! Is it possible to select your own answer as the answer for a thread? Then you should .-)

Martin, it's not possible
It was strange because the TMS Agent diagnostics showed no errors..
The only thing I remember was the prompt at the beginning of synchronization "This is job number..." and there was no number. So it might have indicated an issue with not being able to retrieve the info from the database.
But besides that everything was ok.
