Synchronizing AD with CC-SG
There are several methods for synchronizing the information on CC-SG
with the information on your AD server.
Daily synchronization of all modules: You can enable scheduled
synchronization to allow CC-SG to synchronize all AD modules daily
at the time you choose. See
Synchronize All AD Modules
(on page
199). This synchronization is necessary only when you are using AD
for authorization.
Scheduled synchronization using Task Manager: See
Schedule a
Task
(on page 280).
On Demand Synchronization: You can perform two types of
synchronization whenever you choose:
1.
All Active Directory Modules:
This option performs the same
operation as daily synchronization of all modules, but you can
use it to synchronize at any time on demand. This
synchronization is necessary only when you are using AD for
authorization. See
Synchronize All AD Modules
(on page 199).
2.
All User Groups:
Use this option when you have changed a
user group. Synchronizing all user groups allows you to map
imported and local user groups to user groups identified as part
of an AD module. Synchronizing user groups does not update
access information in CC-SG. You must synchronize all AD
modules, either by waiting for daily synchronization to run or by
running the on-demand synchronization of all modules, to update
access information. See
Synchronize All User Groups with AD
(on page 198).
