Add Exclusion Rule

Click Add Exclusion Rule to exclude a user or organization in your LDAP server
from synchronization, and specify the fields in the dialog box. After specifying the
fields, click Apply to submit your changes, or Test LDAP Query to test the search
rule. The fields are as follows:

Exclusion Rule Setting

Description

Exclude Type

What kind of LDAP data to exclude.

Primary Address: Directory Sync will exclude
primary addresses that match this rule. The
interface displays this choice as ADDRESS.

Alias Address: Directory Sync will exclude aliases
that match this rule. The interface displays this
choice as ALIAS.

If you want to exclude both primary addresses and
alias addresses, create two exclusion rules.

Match Type

The type of rule to use for the filter.

Exact Match: The address must match the rule
exactly, with the domain name added on.

Note:

In many cases, Substring Match yields

better results than Exact Match.

Example:

maria

(if you are using the domain

example.com

) would exclude only the user

[email protected]

.

Substring Match: The address or organization
name must contain the text of the rule as a
substring.

Example: “test” would exclude

[email protected]

and

[email protected]

.

Regular Expression: The address or organization
must match the regular expression specified.

Example:

internal.*@example.com

would exclude

[email protected]

and

[email protected]

.
