LDAP Sync - Synchronizing LDAP and Automic system Users

LDAP Sync is a command line tool that can be used to synchronize the Microsoft Active Directory (AD) or Oracle Directory Services (ODS) and the Automic system user objects; that is, Automation Engine (AE) users and user groups.

LDAP Sync enables you to:

Create and update users and user group assignments in the AE/CDA based on the users defined in the Active Directory (AD) or Oracle Directory Services (ODS).
Remove user group assignments from an AE/CDA user.
Deactivate users in the Automation Engine.

As a system administrator, you install and configure LDAP Sync to synchronize you LDAP directory with your Automic system user base.

Note: Depending on your requirements, or if you are not using an AD/ODS, you can also use this tool without LDAP. Instead, you can use the Password Exit function to verify user authentications. For more information, see Password Exit.
