Introduction This document walks through the installation of the AD Sync Engine and Domain Controller Sync Client. Both components will need to be installed before Active Directory data can sync to CallTower. You will need to allow inbound traffic on ports 5600 & 5605 from 69.4.184.183 to the server where the AD Sync Engine is installed, and outbound traffic on port 5600 to 69.4.184.183. Please provide your Implementation Manager with the public IP address of the AD Sync Engine server once you have opened the ports. The system can sync new and existing users into the CallTower environment, but existing users will not get their passwords synced until the first time they change the password in your environment after the client installation is complete. Deployment Prerequisites Before you deploy the AD Sync Engine system, please install the prerequisites:.net Framework 4.5 o https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=42642 SQL Express o https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=853017 o SQL versions 2012 and newer are recommended SQL Express can be installed on the server that will run AD Sync Engine, or on another server in the network. A full installation of SQL Server can also be used if desired. While not recommended, all components can be installed on a domain controller if desired. Before installing the AD Sync Engine, please validate your user data. It is expected that your userprincipalname will match the user s email address set up in CallTower Connect. Typically, this is the user s primary email address.
Configure SQL Prerequisites Switch SQL to Mixed Mode authentication 1. Make sure during installation, that you set SQL to Mixed Mode. If not using Express, do the following: 1.

At the end of this process, it will pop up a dialog window with some encrypted data in it. Select all the data in the window and save it to a text file. You will need to send this file to your Implementation Manager at CallTower.
AD Sync Setup 1. Click on the AD Sync Setup tab. 2. AD Sync Environment Guide - this will be provided to you by your Implementation Manager. 3.
