Synchronization Provider

Note: this component is designated "advanced", which means that objects of this type are not expected to be created or altered in most environments. If you believe that such a change is necessary, you may want to contact support in order to understand the potential impact of that change.

Synchronization Providers are responsible for handling synchronization of the Directory Server data with other Directory Server instances or other data repositories.

The Ping Identity Directory Server takes a point-to-point approach where each Directory Server has both the user data and a log of all changes made within the topology.
