It was also at the same time we released a new version of XDSYNC that also included a password synchronization option. This has been a little confusion among a few partners on how exactly this works and what to expect with password synchronization.  <\/p>\n<p>There are two primary configuration models, which are described below.  <\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><b>Hosted Exchange &amp; ExchangeDefender Synchronization.<br \/><\/b>If you have a Hosted Exchange mailbox with <a href=\"http:\/\/exchangedefender.com\/\"><b>ExchangeDefender<\/b><\/a>, password synchronization happens automatically. This is because both the Exchange mail account and the spam protection layer both exist within servers that we own\/operate. So anytime a password is changed through our management portals, that password is now updated in both places. After a chance occurs it may take up to 5 minutes for the Hosted Exchange password to update across our servers.<b><\/b>  <\/p>\n<p><strong>Private Server &amp; ExchangeDefender Synchronization.<br \/><\/strong>If you operate your own private Exchange mail server and use ExchangeDefender as your SPAM protection, password synchronization will require the XDSYNC tool. XDSYNC will automatically push new accounts into <a href=\"http:\/\/exchangedefender.com\/\">ExchangeDefender<\/a> minutes after they are added to the mail server. You also have the option to enable password synchronization. In this case, it\u2019s a one way push and will update password changes from within <a href=\"http:\/\/exchangedefender.com\/\">ExchangeDefender<\/a> back down to your mail server. Keep in mind anytime a change occurs it will typically take about 5 minutes for that modification to be applied to the server.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Hopefully this will help define the two configuration models a little better and what you can expect with each configuration.  <\/p>\n<p>Hank Newman<br \/>VP Development, ExchangeDefender<br \/>hank@ownwebnow.com  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-367","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-exchangedefender"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.exchangedefender.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/367","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.exchangedefender.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.exchangedefender.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.exchangedefender.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.exchangedefender.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=367"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.exchangedefender.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/367\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1351,"href":"https:\/\/www.exchangedefender.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/367\/revisions\/1351"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.exchangedefender.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=367"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.exchangedefender.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=367"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.exchangedefender.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=367"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
