Understanding Maximo LDAPSYNC

Great technote from IBM on how the LDAPSYNC process syncs with Microsoft Active Directory Global Catalog. When I first started looking into this I was a little confused by the XML in the LDAPSYNC cron task. I was not sure what to add and where to add it but this cleared up much of my confusion.  Interesting points I found were
  • LDAPSYNC connects to the Microsoft Global Catalog on port 3268
  • LDAPSYNC can be configured to access the LDAP server directly, however; this does not follow Microsoft recommendations
  • Maximo administrators can map additional information from the LDAP server to Maximo using the SYNC task.
