Re: Programmatically configure ADAM Sync

ADAMSYNC isn't a core part of the OS nor even a terribly deep application, it is a simple app and the XML file is how you configure it. If you want something with more horsepower and capability such as a full blown API, you need to start looking at IIFP or MIIS or some other full metadirectory product or write your own sync tool.

I would like to install ADAM at a client site which will sync with an
Active Directory server. During the installation wizard, I need to add
the configuration for the sync process. I understand that I can use
the ADAMSync command to load an xml file with the sync parameters.
However, when I use the AdamSync with /passprompt, I have to manually
enter the Active Directory password. This has proved difficult inside
my installation wizard.

Therefore, is there a way to programmatically add the configuration
needed ADAM to sync with AD instead of using the configuration file
with /passprompt? Are there any APIs I can directly call to configure
ADAM's sync?

Thanks!
