Hosting Controller AD Connect Sync

On-Premises to Cloud Synchronization

Synchronize your identities from any on-premises Active Directory to the Cloud.

One-to-One

One-to-One Synchronization

Have your existing on-premises users and groups linked to a hosted or Cloud Active Directory. Intercept and replicate changes from your on-premises Active Directory to any hosted AD. Keep your Active Directories synchronized round the clock.

Useful Active Directory Connector

No need to manage users in two places when it can be done in one.

Synchronize Passwords

Keep your AD passwords synchronized across your internal and external Active Directories. Make it easier for administrators to replicate and track password changes across Active Directories.

Synchronize Identities

Perform one-way synchronization of identity data (users, groups) between an on-premises Active Directory and your hosted Active Directory. Manage account changes across multiple systems.

Synchronize Groups

Reflect group changes made in an on-premises Active Directory to the hosted environment in real-time. Provide a complete and efficient identity management solution to your business.

Use Case

Understand the rationale for using AD Connect Sync.

Deployment Topology

Hosting Controller’s AD Connect Sync utility enables one-way synchronization of identity data from any source Active Directory to any destination Active Directory. The source is a Microsoft Active Directory and the destination is usually a Microsoft Active Directory as well but can be any LDAP compliant Active Directory.

  • One Source - One Destination
  • LDAP Compliant
  • No Trust Required
  • No Software Required on Cloud
One-to-One

Why AD Connect Sync?

There are plenty of good reasons to use AD Connect Sync for synchronizing your on-premises identities with those in the Cloud. The most important ones are:

AD Connect Sync is far easier to implement than other more complex options. Installing and configuring AD Connect Sync simply involves a few one-time configuration steps. AD Connect Sync is a simple service which requires an installation over the primary (or additional) domain controllers. Once installed, AD objects can be selected to initiate the sync process between the ADs.

AD Connect Sync does not require a two-way trust relationship to be established between domains neither does it demand the added complication of deploying an ADFS infrastructure. No additional servers, SSL certificates or DNS entries are required.

Costs can be cut into half or even more by deploying AD Connect Sync. There are no additional costs to consider above those of the licenses whereas other more expensive alternates like ADFS require additional server licensing, SSL certificates, hardware costs and/or virtual infrastructure resources and consultancy costs.
