Active Directory Synchronization
with Lotus ADSync
The Active Directory Synchronization tool, or ADSync, allows Active Directory
administrators to manage (register, delete, and rename) users and groups in
both Active Directory and the Domino Directory as a unified operation from the
Active Directory Users and Computers Console.
In this paper, we describe some of the capabilities of the Domino 6 server and
the new feature that enables you to synchronize the Domino Directory with Active
Directory. This paper assumes you have a Domino server up and running and
Active Directory installed. To use Lotus Active Directory Synchronization, the
Domino Administration client must be installed on the same workstation used to
manage users and computers within your Active Directory.
We describe in detail how to install and set up the ADSync tool. Detailed
instructions for creating users in Domino Directory using Active Directory Users
and Computers Console are given. We also show how to register users into
Active Directory from Domino.

2 Active Directory Synchronization with Lotus ADSync
Active Directory synchronization
Domino administrators working in a Windows 2000 environment with Active
Directory can now administer users and groups from a single administrative
interface of their choice: the Domino Administration client or Windows 2000
Active Directory Users and Computers. This new feature of the Domino 6 server,
ADSync lets you keep both the Domino Directory and Active Directory current
without having to manually update both with changes. This synchronization
feature allows a Domino administrator to securely and precisely delegate the
responsibility for Domino user and group management to the network
administrators who manage these details in Active Directory.
You can create new users and groups in Active Directory and have those
changes reflected in the Domino Directory, including the creation of person or
group documents, Notes IDs, passwords, and mail files for the users. In order to
accomplish these tasks, the Active Directory administrator must have a properly
certified Notes ID and appropriate access to make changes in the Domino
Directory. The registration server must be Domino 6 or later and the Domino
Administration client must be a 6 or later client. Additionally, policies must be
created that contain subpolicies, either implicit or explicit, for all Domino certifiers
where users will be created. Finally, you must have the appropriate rights in
Active Directory to add users and groups, and synchronize passwords.
For demonstration purposes, you may install Active Directory, Domino Server,
and the Domino Administration client on a single workstation. In a production
environment, the Domino server and the Active Directory will likely be installed
on separate servers.
For this document we used a Domino server running on Linux and a separate
Windows 2000 Server with Active Directory and the Domino Administration
Client installed.
The only requirement for utilizing the ADSync tool is to work from a workstation
that administers the Active Directory and that also has the Domino 6
Administration client installed.
Note: Refer to the Lotus Domino Administrator 6 Help for information on
policies and subpolicies.
Note: If you install all components on a single workstation for demonstration
purposes, you must change the LDAP port settings for either Active Directory
or Domino. By default, both will be listening on port 389; therefore, one of the
two will fail to function properly.

Active Directory synchronization in our demo environment is illustrated in
Figure 1.
Installing the Lotus ADSync tool
In order to use the ADSync tool, you must turn on Domino Directory W2000 Sync
Services during the installation of the Domino Administration client. This option is
only available with the customize button during the Domino Administration client
installation.
The synchronization option is not selected by default; therefore, check the
appropriate box.
Note: Active Directory synchronization will work regardless of the platform
Domino Server is running on.

Figure 2 Domino Administration Client Installation: Customize
After installing the Domino Administration client, start a DOS command prompt
window, and navigate to the directory where you installed the client. Enter the
following command and press Enter:
$c:\Program Files\Lotus\Notes> regsvr32 nadsync.dll
The command adds a container entry for Lotus Domino Options to the Active
Directory Users and Computers management screen and returns the
confirmation shown in Figure 3.

You are now ready to administer users and groups in Active Directory.

Creating users and groups in Active Directory
To access Active Directory Users and Computers from your Windows workstation
click Start -> Programs -> Administrative Tools -> Active Directory Users
and Computers. You may initiate Active Directory “actions” in the right-hand
results pane, or in the left-hand navigation pane. Domino users and groups are
created by either of two methods:
In the left pane, right-click an entry and choose your action from the pop-up
menu.
In the results pane, select one or more users and groups, then select
