1.5 Prerequisites/Preconditions
The Enterprise Client Synchronization Protocol does not provide a mechanism for a client to discover the existence and location of a global sync URI for syncing a namespace. It is a prerequisite that the client's local configuration include a global sync URI that can be used to enumerate all servers exposing that namespace for synchronization.
The Enterprise Client Synchronization Protocol does not define an authentication or authorization scheme. Implementers of this protocol need to review the recommended security prerequisites in Security Considerations for Implementers (section 5.1) of this document.
