Active Sync Resource to Resource

First off thanks for the replies!

Jsallee I agree with your reply however the only part that concerns me is that we are dealing with groups on both ends without going through the user. (I.e new group "ME" is created on Domino, we pick it up with activesync, and then provision that group over to LDAP.) So based on that will this still work?

Sorry about that -- I read your original question as pertaining to managing users, not the groups themselves.

This is a bit of a challenge, since the out of the box Domino adapter is user-centric. It is possible to Create and Update groups on the LDAP resource adapter, though (at least it would appear so from docs). So the trick would be how to get the info from Domino and then be able to make use of it in the LDAP Adapter.

One possibility is the use of Before Actions on the Domino adapter to send a query for groups created since time X (which would be in the IAPI of the ActiveSync process). The output of this script could be a file, or route to another ActiveSync adapter (LDAPListenerActiveSync?).

Alternatively, you may want to do this in a Workflow that the Domino adapter invokes after a poll cycle. Either use custom code (e.g. a class that updates the LDAP resource through JNDI) or try to leverage the LDAPResourceAdapterBase class.

I have never tried this (even though I wish I had time to), but I'm sure there are several problems to overcome before this will work. For example, you'll need to be able to dumb down the Domino ActiveSync to only do what you want.

Let me know what you find out.
