Synchronize inSync user details with your AD/LDAP

Overview

inSync enables you to schedule an automatic update of user details at a defined interval. It is applicable for all the users imported in inSync using AD/LDAP Mappings.

The following information is automatically updated when you enable auto update user details setting in inSync,

• inSync user name
• inSync user email address
• inSync user AD/LDAP user name

Frequency for scan is defined by Auto sync interval under AD/LDAP settings. 

Note:

• You can only synchronize user details for whom you imported using your AD/LDAP. You cannot synchronize user details whom you added individually or through a CSV file.
• When enabled, this setting is applicable to all the AD/LDAP Mappings defined in inSync.
