Synchronization Agent

The agent synchronizes all users in the current domain with the ESET Secure Authentication that it is installed to.

• Default synchronization interval is 1 hour
• More than one agent can be installed within a domain (to secure connection/actualization with ESET Secure Authentication)
• Synchronization is done in bulks. After initial synchronization, just the diff is sent next time to optimize data load
