Add config for User Synchronization

[prashanth55]

Hi All,

I am trying to configure the user synchronization in my application by using the config files in apps.

This is the config PID org.apache.sling.distribution.agent.impl.SyncDistributionAgentFactory.84634fbb-92e9-47b3-8aa4-4ef21ce62504 from configMgr, but the id is diffrent in each environment.

When I am trying to add config, it's creating a new configuration, but I have to override this existing one.  How to add the config to override the existing config in all environments.

Following steps from this Article: User Synchronization

Using the AEM6.4 Version.

Please help me to resolve this issue.

In the above doc topic - there is a troubleshooting section. Did you use the User Sync Diagnostics tool to see if there any problems.

Could you share more details regarding "When I am trying to add config, it's creating a new configuration, but I have to override this existing one.  How to add the config to override the existing config in all environments."

Have you created the config under /apps/system or /apps/<project>/config.author and config.publish?

Thank you smacdonald2008 and @gauravb41175071 for the reply.

I have created the config folders under /apps/system like

It is created a new config for Adobe Granite Distribution - Diff Observer Factory ., But we have to override the existing one.

No errors in the user sync diagnostics.

Can you delete the existing configs under /apps/system or /apps/<project>/config.author and config.publish?

and then package those configs from lower environment?

[prashanth55]

Do we need to manually delete the existing config from all publish servers or there is any way to do it

[Gaurav-Behl · Accepted solution]

Why would publish servers have "existing configs"?

If there are any pre-existing configs, then you could delete them (after thorough vetting that you don't break anything) either manually, or simply create a replica in author and then deactivate.

Thanks @gauravb4115071,

It's working after deleting the existing config.
