Description

DEBUG_DIRSYNC enables detailed debug output for the dirsync task, which synchronizes users and groups from Active Directory into the Domino Directory. Level 1 shows a per-run summary, 2 lists every individual change, and 3 additionally exposes LDAP responses and filters.
Indispensable when setting up an AD sync configuration and for follow-up problems such as missing members, duplicate entries, or mail-address conflicts.

Example configuration

DEBUG_DIRSYNC=2

Notes & pitfalls

  • Level 3 produces a lot of output – enable only temporarily.
  • Complements DEBUG_DIRSYNC_DISABLE_AD_MEMBERS_IN_SECURITY_GROUPS (14.5.1+) and DEBUG_NAMELOOKUP.
  • Output lands in the console / Debug_Outfile.
  • Before a production sync, always do a brief dry run with level 2.
  • The change takes effect immediately on a set config reload, or on the next dirsync run.
