LDAP Schedule

Overview 
.........

You can sync users in to VOSS Automate from LDAP by activating a scheduled sync, or by 
running a manual sync. 



Activate a LDAP Scheduled Sync
................................

This procedure activates a LDAP sync from a schedule.


**Prerequisites**

* LDAP server must be present



**Perform these steps**:

1. Go to (default menus) **LDAP Management > LDAP Schedule**.
2. Click on a LDAP schedule.
3. On the **Base** tab, select the **Active** checkbox.
4. Click **Save**. 

   The system attempts to sync users from the LDAP server. It may take a few 
   minutes for the users to show up in VOSS Automate.

   .. note::

      You can't cancel a sync once it's running, and you can't delete an LDAP server
      while a sync is in progress.

5. Once the sync completes, verify that users are synced in: 

   * Navigate to the LDAP server hierarchy to view the lists on the **LDAP Users** menus.
   * Verify that users are synced in from LDAP, at (default menus) **User Management > Users**.
