You configure synchronization in Identity Manager to make sure that the users for corporate directory and provisioning directory have matching data. To handle changes from either directory, you configure inbound and outbound synchronization.
Inbound synchronization keeps Identity Manager users up to date with changes that occur in the provisioning directory. Changes in the provisioning directory include those made using Provisioning Manager or systems with connectors to the Provisioning Server. The synchronization uses the mappings defined on the Provisioning screen of the Management Console.
When you use View Submitted Task to view an operation that was performed in Provisioning Manager, you may not see the actual status of the operation. For example, you may have used Provisioning Manager to attempt to acquire an endpoint and that operation failed. However, the task is shown as completed when you use View Submitted Tasks in the User Console. In this situation, check the event details for the actual status of the task.
Fail over to an alternate Identity Manager Server URL occurs only if the application server named by a URL is not running. If the application server is running and accepts the notification but then encounters a configuration error, such as unknown environment or environment not started, these errors block the delivery of notifications. These problems must be resolved before inbound notifications functions properly.
