Identity Synchronization Configuration

People, faces, and users all belong to tenants. Within a tenant, directories divide persons, faces, and face data. Identity synchronization can be used to copy a directory from one tenant to another but it can't be used to copy data within a tenant.

Basic Configuration Rules

Same Server/Different Tenant

A different user in the cloud can be used as a sync partner as long as the tenant is different. The directory will be duplicated.

Same Server/Same Tenant

A different user in the cloud can be used as a sync partner but not if they both belong to same the tenant. If the tenant is the same there will be conflicts.

Multi Node Configuration Examples

More complex configurations can be designed to sync data across multiple locations using combinations of cloud and local platform services.

Central Server Configuration (Spokes on a Wheel)

Satellite offices or sites are configured to sync with a central server. This could be a combination of cloud and local platform services.

Daisy Chain Sync Configuration

Local platform installations could also be configured in a daisy-chain type configuration:

Satellite offices or sites are confiured to sync with a nearest node or different account. This could be a mix of cloud and local platform installs.
