LDAP Synchronization: Basic Example

This section presents a simple example of LDAP synchronization. This example uses an AD LDAP server and synchs all groups and all users that belong to the specified OU. See LDAP Sample Schema for information about the LDAP groups and users associated with this example.

  1. Set up LDAP authentication as directed in one of the previous AD examples.

  2. Go to Configure > LDAP > Synchronization, then select Synchronize Users/Groups. Fill out the details as shown and click Save Settings.

In this case, Group Filter and User Filter are left blank, so they default to (objectClass=group) and (objectClass=user). In other words, the server will synch all groups and users under the trees specified in Group Base DN and User Base DN.

  1. Click Test Synchronization Settings. A test results page is displayed.
