Demo project that uses the ADSync4J library.

The application retrieves all normal user objects from Active Directory, and keeps them in sync by performing incremental synchronization with AD on subsequent executions. The replicated objects are stored in a H2 database in $USER_HOME/adsync4j.h2.db.

git clone https://github.com/zagyi/adsync4j-demo.git
cd adsync4j-demo
./gradlew build

You need to give some details about how to connect to Active Directory, and what exactly you want to replicate. This template will help you to quickly create such a file.

The build process created a shell script that you can use to start the application:

./adsync4j-demo.sh <path_to_your_properties_file>

The H2 database is automatically created on the first synchronization. Once that is successfully done, you can throw away the .properties file, because all the information it holds gets persisted in the same database.

Simply execute the application again and again (without specifying the .properties file) to apply any changes to the replica that has been done in Active Directory since the last synchronization.
