Replication Mode
With Replication Mode, data from LDAP is replicated into the Sitecore Security (or Extranet) database. Replication can be scheduled or performed manually by an administrator.
Use Replication Mode if:
- Single-Sign-On is not required.
- It is required to populate Sitecore security storage (either internal or external) with users/groups from Active Directory.
- It is required to create the same structure of accounts inside Sitecore as in Active Directory. It is also required to copy user attributes and apply Roles security from Active Directory.
- It is required to apply additional security settings to Users in Sitecore without changing settings in Active Directory.
- It is required to grant Users access to the Sitecore Client and Extranet from Active Directory.
Instructions specific to Replication Mode:
- DO NOT change the domain assembly in /web.config.
- NOTE: Replication mode allows only the Sitecore password.
