Feature Enhancement & Help Files Correction

asked on December 29, 2014

Upon using Active Directory Sync it was noticed that if you remove a  user from your AD group, then the user in LFDS is then marked with a "None" as a license, however, they are not removed from the list of Users.  Currently you have to manually remove the list of users.  It would be nice if AD sync would remove the license as well as the user from the list.  Or even possibly create a new "Remove" action under the Sync rules.  Where you can have Add Rules or Remove rules.

 

About the Help Files.  Here is what they currently say about Active Directory Sync:

If you use Windows domain accounts for your named user handling, you can take advantage of Active Directory group synchronization in Directory Server to automatically handle adding and removing users from your named user list. With Active Directory synchronization, Directory Server will poll specified Active Directory domain controllers for changes to specific groups, whether users were added or removed from the specified groups.

The words in read basically read that the Directory Services Synchronization will remove users from your named user list, but it does not it just sets the license to "None".  Basically it just seems as if the wording is misleading and it should be updated.

 

Thanks

A change request has been filed for the help files to clarify the behavior: when users are removed from AD, users will not be removed from the user list in Directory Server, but will have their license removed.

This is the intended behavior, but your request for a functionality change/addition has been noted by the Directory Server team. If we do decide to make a change, I will update here.
