Using the LDAP import facility, you import AppWave users and groups from your LDAP server and synchronize AppWave with the LDAP server at a frequency you specify.
1. From the Dashboard menu, click Import LDAP users and groups.
The LDAP Users & Groups pane appears.
2. Complete the LDAP Users & Groups pane as required, following the onscreen instructions.
3. To update AppWave users and groups now, click Save and Update Now.
To save changes and update at the specified interval, click Save.
Users imported through LDAP integration are assigned to the All Users group and the All Apps folder, which is preconfigured to provide access to all applications available on AppWave. The All Apps folder can be edited to provide access to only specific applications.
The following describes options that require further explanation:
Search Base
You can synchronize LDAP Users and Groups with a specific organizational unit.
For example, to import all users in Group_Level3. you would use the following Search Base entry:
OU=Group_Level3,OU=Group_Level2,OU=Group_Level1,OU=All Access,DC=labdomain,DC=com
When the Search Base is not specified, as may be the case if you are specifying a group or user filter, the default Search Base would be used. In this example, the default would be
DC=labdomain, DC=com
Group Filter
To import all the users in a group, you can specify the group in the Group Filter field and when synchronized, that group will be added to AppWave. To include the users of that group, you need to specify a filter in the User Filter field.
For example, you can add two groups by entering a filter such as the following:
(|(sAMAccountName=group_name)(sAMAccountName=another_group_name))
User Filter
To import only the immediate users of a specific LDAP group, without importing the users in any subgroups of that group, you can specify a user filter such as the following:
Another option would be to specify user/group filters like:
memberOf=CN=testgroup2,OU=Group_Level3,OU=Group_Level2,OU=Group_Level1,OU=All Access, DC=labdomain,DC=com

When AppWave is synchronized with an LDAP server, any changes made to users and groups, including deletions and additions, will be in effect after the next synchronization. If you want to change the filter used to add users and groups to AppWave, first disable LDAP. This will remove all LDAP users and groups. Then resynchronize using the new filter.
