If you are using office 365 you may be using the Azure Active Directory Sync Tool to sync up your active directory to office 365.
You are probably aware that by default DirSync runs by default every three hours. I have seen various websites showing how to change the default setting in the Config. file (Microsoft.Online.DirSync.Scheduler) to make the sync happen faster. The main reason is to sync up the changes faster. I have found that this is not necessary to sync password changes up faster as the DirSync tool will sync up the passwords within about 3 minutes in the background. It won’t sync the AD changes such as a change in name but will sync the password in the background.
The details of the sync can be found in the event viewing searching for event ID 656 which is the password sync request ID. You will see the time stamp a couple of minutes after the password is reset.
There are various IDs that you can search for regarding the sync. The list below is taken from the Microsoft site (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2855271)
Cisco Security Advisories
- Multiple Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL Affecting Cisco Products: March 2021On March 25, 2021, the OpenSSL Project released a security advisory, OpenSSL Security Advisory [25 March 2021], that disclosed two vulnerabilities. Exploitation of these vulnerabilities could allow an attacker to use a valid non-certificate authority (CA) certificate to act as a CA and sign a certificate for an arbitrary organization, user or device, or to […]
- Cisco IOS XR Software Command Injection VulnerabilityA vulnerability in the CLI of Cisco IOS XR 64-Bit Software could allow an authenticated, local attacker to inject arbitrary commands that are executed with root privileges on the underlying Linux operating system (OS) of an affected device. This vulnerability is due to insufficient input validation of commands that are supplied by the user. An attacker […]
- Cisco Small Business RV Series Routers Link Layer Discovery Protocol VulnerabilitiesMultiple vulnerabilities exist in the Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) implementation for Cisco Small Business RV Series Routers. An unauthenticated, adjacent attacker could execute arbitrary code or cause an affected router to leak system memory or reload. A memory leak or device reload would cause a denial of service (DoS) condition on an affected device. For […]
- Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client Denial of Service VulnerabilityA vulnerability in the interprocess communication (IPC) channel of Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client could allow an authenticated, local attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) condition on an affected device. To exploit this vulnerability, the attacker would need to have valid credentials on the device. The vulnerability is due to insufficient validation of user-supplied […]
