User Directory Options

OptionDescription

Update on loginIf enabled, after each login, user details will be updated. System will use the user's user directory to get his current details.
Update users with different user directoryIf enabled, existing users will be update even they are originally coming from different user directory.

TESTING USER DIRECTORY

Before running synchronization, we recommend to perform the dry run, which retrieves the user data from the remote system and performs the system integrity and constraints check.

When the run is successful, you can see the list of users and verification status:

There are several possible verification statuses:

  • Username is empty or too short - user won't be processed
  • User exists - user directory mismatch
  • User exists - will be updated
  • New user - will be added

Running Synchronization

You can start the synchronization by clicking the "Synchronize" button.
