Using Active Directory Synchronization
The Active Directory Synchronization (AD Sync) feature provides the ability
to receive change notifications from the active directory server for the domain
the management server is logged into. The Active Directory Synchronization
will automatically update the IDM database with changes made in your Active
Directory, including new users, changes to existing users, and deletion of
users.
To enable automatic synchronization from Active Directory to IDM, navigate
to the
Tools -> Preferences-> Identity Management -> User Directory Settings window.
