Synchronization Server Help


Identifying the Custom subscription

After authenticating a user, the Sync Server determines what group the user belongs to, then queries the administration control database to determine what subscription is involved in the request. For this reason, the Sync Server must be able to uniquely identify each subscription by name.

These steps are part of the larger task of creating a Custom subscription. When you complete the steps for identifying the Custom subscription, return to creating a Custom subscription.

To identify a custom subscription:

On the Identification page, fill in these fields:

Name
Type a descriptive, unique 1- to 18-character name for the subscription.

The system converts the name that you type here to uppercase upon saving it in the administration control database. After the name is saved in the control database, you cannot rename the subscription. To rename a subscription, you must first delete the existing subscription, then create a new subscription with the new name.

Description
Optional: Type up to 128 characters of text that describes this subscription.
