Importing Users from Active Directory
Importing users from Active Directory with the IDM Import Wizard synchronizes
IDM users with those in Active Directory, similar to enabling Active Directory
synchronization. However, if you use the Wizard to import users, user changes in
Active Directory are not monitored. And, you cannot select specific Active Directory
groups, as with Active Directory synchronization. Therefore, we recommend using
Active Directory synchronization instead of using the Import Wizard to import users
from Active Directory.
The Import Wizard option described in this section will not be enabled unless AD
sync is disabled in IDM Preferences.
To import user information into IDM from an Active Directory:
1. If necessary, disable AD sync.
a. From the global toolbar, select Tools >Preferences.
b. From the Preferences navigation tree, select Identity Management > User
Directory Settings.
c. In the Identity Management: User Directory Settings pane, clear the Enable
automatic Active Directory synchronization check box and then click OK.
2. From the global toolbar, select Tools > IDM User Import to launch the IDM Import
Wizard.
