Synchronize Users from LDAP
---------------------------

For VOSS-4-UC, you can synchronize users from LDAP by activating a scheduled
synchronization, or by performing a manual synchronization.

.. note::

   You cannot cancel a synchronization, and you cannot delete an LDAP server
   while a synchronization is in progress.


**Perform these steps**:


1. To activate a scheduled LDAP synchronization:

   a. Browse to **LDAP Management > LDAP Schedule**.
   b. Click an LDAP Schedule.
   c. Select the **Active** check box.
   d. Click **Save**.
   
2. To perform a manual LDAP synchronization, see :ref:`synchronize_or_purge_ldap_users`.

VOSS-4-UC attempts to synchronize users from the LDAP server. It may take a few
minutes for the users to show up in VOSS-4-UC.

For details on sync lists and scenarios, see :ref:`ldap_integration`.


.. rubric:: Next Steps

Browse to **User Management > Users** and verify that users were synchronized
from LDAP.

Ensure that you first navigate to the LDAP server hierarchy in order to see the
lists on the **LDAP Users** menus.
