[password sync](https://support.econz.net/customer/google-workspace?hsLang=en#password-sync) # What is Password sync and how we can configure it? ## Password sync Google Workspace Password Sync, is a tool provided by Google Workspace (formerly known as G Suite) that allows administrators to synchronize their users' passwords between their Google Workspace and Active Directory (AD) or LDAP directory services. By using this tool, users will be able to sign in to their Google Workspace accounts with the same credentials that they use for their AD or LDAP accounts. Password changes made in AD or LDAP will also be automatically synced with Google Workspace, ensuring that users have a consistent password across both systems. Overall, this can help simplify user management and reduce the need for users to remember multiple sets of login credentials. Steps to enable password synchronization between your organization's Microsoft Active Directory and Google Workspace: :- Set up Google Workspace Password Sync: Google Workspace Password Sync (GWPS) is a tool that enables password synchronization between your on-premises Active Directory and Google Workspace. To set up GWPS, you'll need to download and install the tool on a computer that meets the minimum requirements. **                           Please click the link below to download the GWPS tool**                                                            [ GWPS TOOL](https://support.google.com/a/answer/7039814) ![](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/eaTDF3fCoPMZGI_hv006ZeXQSNQLmruz_PxKhkDeTUjem3SEU5RZeyB9KbqNfQR8Ew8KQm_KX9zAMHPWAGIKCyefFN_F-MRH92bXmZK5w2krtTrcd9L8a9v4-GCpJhcwxJMMpG6eXerJMEF9vs169uw) ![](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/XoQrKRAKgxkeZMRjSHlDSVAbWd5xtgkI5SVznKUKGbK0lBBstRAGulvs0NPgbW_8lAaJWLGMjeKZ2lyFkzvaFcWxz20sS4V1UaQKlsx8hKYO8bNY-TPzaZ-D7LWj4khjav0V2iU3TXw4kHJYZvh5vo8) ![](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/kYQAFdw59Z3Xud9LJtXllWO4etwptEw7DuoyhJ8KMP1Ty9mucHigsIINqcGhjnFIy-4RUS6mnWkG-STl7lRxewk3iIhaZQVLRyuDz7rzeie8nKvcooeJhsZbwWO4osEp0gDFm9AWNeagUF7XD1ezhEM) ![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/j0BNpNhlKV21TyO5IuozKItGTnNcUpq7qUN6b5eDWspCKoraNhz8l3vl9kVgBmjjsn0G0_e-iNXLKTyMK7o0DxEmBcwU3bjJQmWNR_4PDKqLLGQlwlXAL9er8BWoG1GtdQJgU_3ljJGAvBkkq00inTk) ![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/t6AyFQD8lLMEzQmIHtPBvOs7XdC7s7_LdstsLG9SG7YPDCqRYZkYh4KuYjCBk6aW0uNVYVoNt3LEkLIHA9HqQA29IJ9mrBKxTZFzS2J9FMDxBuwtELJjX18zNFFdvlF1LQh0S4lCr3oE43hBaXiPKdU) ![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/6lV_Nd5JwDKiDACJCne32TpLde3R0ButFS8UKlF9fivjBHhhQgB53Xd9zwJ2TCigJbRQy0mX2bPV5vnHcbLQvVbD61wdxxKn5J_4M8bb83PAXyfmskM0FMKJYsudP8Pg8JWyLAMGaU0OB_vLP7R1VMA) :- Configure GWPS: Once GWPS is installed, you'll need to configure the tool to synchronize passwords between your Active Directory and Google Workspace. This may involve configuring authentication settings, specifying which user accounts should be synchronized, and setting up encryption settings. ![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/cSyRWgismyeNQzP9asiJdEE2D4l8EqDtHIg1J-vx4irT1xoVybMZvzIHhxmdozwmu1c63OKzTa3ED9TrMUhcrAHCsvRNcThMKtMkErGF4OOSB0Eje43wlONNKFmHBZC3MbRvU8FIo5VPizv1WB5s-A4) ![](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/wygyve1r5Mha2jzhCyadUzpodOHBTtcvmscvsf-wJy0dkoKEKdpUsVkhPG-z-IEno7_Aw6mw7qyVseIJiCw90NPu8y5LwUUvzo-oYhHFg_bh-Y19RDZcn498iPBS1WeJXvm3sQZZjQjnZLyoEZwGE1Y) :- Set up password policies: To ensure that your users' passwords are secure and meet your organization's password policies, you'll need to set up password policies in both Active Directory and Google Workspace. This may involve configuring password length, complexity requirements, and expiration settings. :- Test password synchronization: Before enabling password synchronization for all users, it's important to test the synchronization process to ensure that it's working as expected. You can do this by selecting a test user account and verifying that the password is synchronized between Active Directory and Google Workspace. :- Enable password synchronization: Once you've tested the synchronization process and verified that it's working correctly, you can enable password synchronization for all user accounts. This will ensure that users can use the same password to access both their Active Directory and Google Workspace accounts. :- Monitor password synchronization: After enabling password synchronization, it's important to monitor the synchronization process to ensure that passwords continue to be synchronized correctly. You can use the GWPS logs to monitor the synchronization process and troubleshoot any issues that may arise.
