Synchronization
Query Details Specifies queries to use for synchronization. Available choices are:
■
Autofill—Places default values in the field for you to modify as
needed.
■
Query start (Sync base DN)—Designates the point in the
directory from which to start searching for entries with email
addresses/aliases or groups. To use this field, begin by clicking
Auto Fill for the naming contexts of the directory. Reduce the
received list of DN’s brought into the field by Auto Fill to a single
DN, or write your own DN based on the provided list.
■
Custom query start—Allows for the addition of a customized
query.
■
User query—Finds users in the LDAP server.
■
Group query—Finds LDAP groups in the LDAP server.
■
Distribution list query—Finds Distribution Lists in the LDAP
Server.
Buttons labelled Test allow you to test each synchronization query
type.
Note: If you need to change Host, Port, base DN, ldap Group filter,
User filter, or Distribution List filter after saving an LDAP
synchronization source, you must delete the source, add the source
including all attributes to be filtered, and perform a full
synchronization.
