NAME

6       sync_server - Cyrus IMAP documentation
7
8       Server side of the synchronization (replication) engine
9

SYNOPSIS

11       sync_server [ -C config-file ] [ -p ssf]
12

DESCRIPTION

14       sync_server  is the server side of the the replication system.  It runs
15       on the  target  (replica)  system  and  listens  for  connections  from
16       sync_client(8)   which  provides  instructions  for  synchronizing  the
17       replica system with the master system.
18
19       sync_server reads its configuration options out  of  the  imapd.conf(5)
20       file unless specified otherwise by -C.
21

OPTIONS

23       -C config-file
24              Use the specified configuration file config-file rather than the
25              default imapd.conf(5).
26
27       -p ssf Tell sync_server that an external layer exists.  An  SSF  (secu‐
28              rity  strength  factor) of 1 means an integrity protection layer
29              exists.  Any higher SSF implies some form of privacy protection.
