This feature improve the last Manual windows 2003 Active directory importation option to import users from a Windows Active Directory server.
With this new feature you will be able to :
- Import all branches without select an organization.
- Define filters to skip some users.
- Schedule the importation process
Select your organization and choose ActiveDirectory Importation icon.
The first step is to define mandatories parameters in order to help artica connection to your Windows server.
- Define the credentials and server address
- If values are right values, a green circle is displayed
- Choose the filters icon
- This feature allow you to specify a sub-branch to start the importation :
for example:
if your suffix is DC=ak8,DC=touzeau,DC=com and you set ou=europe, the importation will start on
ou=europe,DC=ak8,DC=touzeau,DC=com
The second option allow you to force Artica to select only user storing a specific domain in the mail address. If the user did not match the domain set, it will not imported.
The third option force Artica to import users that store a logon account less that 4 caracters.
There is some limitations if you using cyrus-imap (mailboxes) with Artica.
If the logon account is less than 4 caracters, users will not be able to connect to the mailbox.
If you using Artica has only a mail relay, it is not a problem to enable this option.
Schedule importations
If Artica is a mail relay and you want to refresh periodically the Artica database, you can schedule the importation process.
- Select "Schedule" icon
- Enable the check box and set the polling time.
