Synchronization of external users

When HCL® Marketing Software is configured to integrate with a Windows™ Active Directory or LDAP server, users and groups are automatically synchronized automatically at pre-defined intervals.

Automatic synchronization has limited functionality.

  • Automatic synchronization updates user attributes only. Because group membership changes such as adding, removing, or changing members in a group require administrator oversight, import of these changes is confined to the manual synchronization process by default.
  • Users deleted from the LDAP server are not deleted during automatic synchronization.

You can force a full synchronization of all users and groups by using the Synchronize function in the Users area of HCL Marketing Software.
