Importing LDAP Users
LDAP users can only be imported into LDAP directories that you have already created.
This section describes how to manually import LDAP users. You can also define a schedule for
automatically updating LDAP directories with users. For more information, see
Setting a Schedule
For LDAP Directory Update
.
When LDAP users are imported, those users belonging to groups that are already imported are
placed in, and assigned the policies of, those groups. LDAP users whose groups are not already
imported are treated as Unassigned LDAP users.
