Clients can leverage details within this link for LDAP Syntax Filters – https://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/5392.active-directory-ldap-syntax-filters.aspx

1. Schedule Import
   • Selecting “ON Demand” will allow you to only sync when you need a refresh of the data prior to an access review
2. Global Catalog URL
   • The LDAP service provider uses a URL to configure the connection to the directory server. To generate the LDAP connection URL, we must specify the LDAP host, port and root.
     • LDAP protocol is used to communicate with Active Directory on port 389.
   • Format Example: LDAP://192.168.1.76/DC=CGISE,DC=local
3. Directory URL
   • The LDAP service provider uses a URL to configure the connection to the directory server. To generate the LDAP connection URL, we must specify the LDAP host, port and root.
   • LDAP protocol is used to communicate with Active Directory on port 389.
     • Format Example: LDAP://192.168.1.76/DC=CGISE,DC=local
4. ADUsername and AD Password
   • Provide an account username and password that has the necessary access to fetch users
     • Note: Domain needs to be appended to the end of the username for successful authentication.
5. UserFilter
   • To fetch users or contacts we need to provide the user filter
     • Format Example: (|(&(!(cn=*cnf:*))(objectCategory=Person)(objectClass=User)(samAccountType:1.2.840.113556.1.4.803:=805306368))(&(!(cn=*cnf:*))(objectCategory=Person)(objectClass=contact)))
6. GroupFilter
   • To fetch groups or roles we need to provide the Group Filter
     • Format Example: (&(objectCategory=Group)(!(cn=*cnf:*)))
7. Active Users Filter
   • To fetch active users or contacts we need to provide the user filter
     • Format Example: (|(&(!(cn=*cnf:*))(objectCategory=Person)(objectClass=User)(samAccountType:1.2.840.113556.1.4.803:=805306368)(!(userAccountControl:1.2.840.113556.1.4.803:=2)))(&(!(cn=*cnf:*))(objectCategory=Person)(objectClass=contact)))
8. Entitlement Owner Precedence ( Securends/Active Directory)
   • This value is case sensitive
   • Assignment of an Entitlement Owner for each entitlement will allow you to include the entitlement owner as a reviewer during a User Access Review campaign.
   • You can leverage the SecurEnds tool to define this OR pull the actual owners from the Active Directory data.
     • Enter Securends if you want to manually set the Entitlement Owner using the SecurEnds tool (do not use AD data).
     • Enter Active Directory if you want to pull the Entitlement Owners from the Active Directory data during a sync.
