Provisioning - LDAP sync

The last step of provisioning is to run an LDAP sync. This is required for the Meeting Server to import users from the LDAP server and apply the committed provisioning settings.

We also recommend that you perform an LDAP sync when there are changes to the information on the LDAP server, such as new users.

On the Provisioning page, LDAP sync tab, you can set up a regular sync schedule or manually trigger a sync, and you can see the status of recent syncs.

To configure scheduled syncs:

1. Click View / edit sync schedule.
2. To minimize disruption to active meetings, choose which Call Bridge should run the LDAP sync.
3. Choose on which days of the week the sync should run.

4. Choose at which time of day the sync should run, and click OK.

   Note: The sync schedule is set on Meeting Management, and Meeting Management triggers each sync at the scheduled time. If you remove the Call Bridge the sync runs on, then scheduled syncs will not be run.

To manually trigger an LDAP sync:

1. Below the table, from the Run a sync now on: drop-down, choose which Call Bridge should run the LDAP sync.

   To minimize disruption to active meetings, choose the Call Bridge that hosts fewer or less important meetings than the other Call Bridges.

2. Click Run sync now.

Note: The Meeting Server will sync with all LDAP servers that are connected to it.

Note: Every time you change any provisioning settings, we strongly recommend that you check that your settings have been applied correctly. Meeting Management reports whether the sync was successful, but it cannot check whether the defined groups or mappings were implemented as you planned.
