Delete an AD/LDAP mapping

Overview

inSync allows you to delete an existing AD/LDAP Mapping that you had earlier created to import users in inSync. Deleting an AD/LDAP Mapping only deletes the AD/LDAP Mapping in inSync.

The users that were imported using the AD/LDAP Mapping continue to exist in inSync, and experience the following behavior,

• If you have configured inSync to automatically preserve unmapped users,
  • The users that are not part of any other AD/LDAP Mapping defined in inSync are moved to 'Preserved' state.
  • If users are part of any other AD/LDAP Mapping defined in inSync, such users are automatically enabled.

    Note: inSync automatically preserves users based on the Auto sync interval  configured.

• If you have not configured inSync to automatically preserve unmapped users,
  • The users that are part of deleted AD/LDAP Mapping, continue to be in the same state, that is, either in Active or Preserved state.

Thus, before deleting an AD/LDAP Mapping in inSync, ensure you define proper behavior for inSync to automatically preserve unmapped users.
