LDAP User Synchronization

LDAP user synchronization is the process of synchronizing records from an LDAP Server, not the process of authenticating with an LDAP back-end server.

Replication is the process of replicating data between separate OneSpan Authentication Server Appliance instances (see Replication).

LDAP user synchronization can be configured in the Configuration Tool. It supports automatic creation and updating of user accounts on the OneSpan Authentication Server Appliance from records stored on an LDAP server. Apart from LDAP user synchronization, you can create user accounts using the Administration Web Interface, either manually or by importing user accounts, and via Dynamic User Registration (DUR). For more information, see User accounts.

LDAP user synchronization is not server-specific and must be configured particularly for different LDAP servers, e.g. for Microsoft Active Directory or for NetIQ eDirectory. For more information, refer to the OneSpan Authentication Server Appliance Administrator Guide.
