The Email Security.cloud Synchronization Tool extracts user information from your LDAP directory service and makes the data available to the Email Security.cloud services.
The synchronized user information includes email addresses and the user groups that each user belongs to. Once you establish connections to your data sources, you can run the tool manually or on a schedule, to ensure that your cloud security services have the most current data.
The Synchronization Tool is a Java executable that operates on a range of platforms that the Sun Java Runtime Environment (JRE) supports.
To download the Synchronization tool, select Tools > Downloads in the Symantec.cloud Management portal.
See Installing the Synchronization Tool. After you download and install the tool, a wizard guides you through the steps to establish connections and data extraction from your data sources. Each step is tested and verified.
For complete instructions on how to use the Synchronization Tool, download the Synchronization Tool Administrator Guide under Attachments at the bottom of this article.
