LDAP data synchronization

Data synchronization keeps system data current with data in the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) directory server. Synchronized data moves only from the LDAP directory server to the system.

To synchronize data, you must create users and groups in the LDAP directory server.

The data synchronization process depends on which application server you use:

The LDAPSYNC cron task supports incremental synchronization. The VMMSYNC cron task supports full synchronization by default, but it can be configured to support the incremental synchronization of users and groups. If you want to synchronize users and groups incrementally, you must set the ChangePolling cron task parameter to 1 or true. Incremental synchronization can help with performance and planning.

Changes that you make in the LDAP directory server are not reflected in the system until you synchronize the data. Even after you synchronize the data, there are some considerations to be aware of:
