LDAP User Sync

{{ $t('productDocDetail.updateTime') }}: 2025-12-25

LDAP User Sync is used to synchronize users, OUs, and security groups from the domain server to the device. When Auto Sync is enabled, data is automatically synchronized from the domain server to the device once a day, at a random time between 0:00 AM and 6:00 AM.

LDAP User Sync includes two modes: Sync by OU and Sync by security group (AD domain only).

Sync by OU: Applicable to all types of LDAP servers. In this mode, the OUs, as well as their structures, will be synchronized to the device as user groups from the LDAP server. Users remain in the same OU group after synchronization.

Sync by security group (AD domain only): Only applicable to the Microsoft LDAP server, i.e., the AD domain. In this mode, security groups on the AD domain server are synchronized to the device as user groups. Security groups have no hierarchy and therefore, are synchronized at the same level.

Synchronization policy is used to set synchronization parameters, based on which LDAP synchronization is implemented.

6.6.2.3.1.2Sync by OU

Applicable to all types of LDAP servers. In this mode, the OUs, as well as their structures, will be synchronized to the device as user groups from the LDAP server. Users remain in the same OU group after synchronization.
