Created by: ROD TAGUCHI on 02-11-2012 01:10:05 PM Is there a way to setup an LDAP sync agreement that is not tied to an OU, but to a Group Membership (in Active Directory) search filter? I'd like to retain current OU Structure which includes users, service accounts, external contractors, but want to only sync users that belong to an Active Directory group.
Thanks Rod

Start simple, make sure you have enough access to retrieve the desired information and work your way up to more complexity. The error you are getting seems to indicate your DN is invalid, perhaps there is a hidden or invalid character.
Subject: RE: LDAP sync with group filter? Replied by: ROD TAGUCHI on 07-12-2012 01:41:16 PM Do you have an example of how to configure this? I see that the Cloud Connector ldap sync tool for WxS in the cloud does allow you to filter users that are to be synced to the WxS directory. The cloud tool also allows the sync to remove accounts in WxS as well as add via sync. Is that functionality capable for Premise installs?
Thanks Rod

Replied by: Daniele Salladini on 05-03-2013 08:12:45 AM Hi Rod, yes you can use group to filter authentication, I use it, and in my opinion is the best way to manage user access easily. Auth Search Filter sintax must be in this form: (&(sAMAccountName=@screen_name@)(memberOf=CN=quad,OU=GROUPS,OU=CORPORATE,DC=corp,DC=dom)) group created is "quad" and match is done with merge of " sAMAccountName=@screen_name@ " filter (mandatory!) and memberOf=CN=quad,OU=GROUPS,OU=CORPORATE,DC=corp,DC=dom" filter Import search filter can be (objectClass=person)

Subject: RE: LDAP sync with group filter? Replied by: ROD TAGUCHI on 06-03-2013 03:14:06 PM I am doing the Group filter with Authentication with great results. I'd like to be able to use a group filter ALSO for the LDAP sync agreement so users that exist in AD if not a member of a group are not even synched to the Social directory. I can currently use OU filter, disabled/enabled user to filter the users synced via the sync agreement. Group membership is preferred. Any help with that would be greatly appreciatd.
Thanks /Rod
