Managing LDAP Accounts
101
Using LDAP Sync Tool
The Account Synchronizer is the main window of the Avid ISIS LDAP Sync Tool. Use the Account Synchronizer to
search the LDAP user accounts, synchronize (reconcile) user accounts by adding or removing users from the ISIS
users list, generate a report of the account actions, and view a history of the accounts. You can also modify the
display of the Account Synchronizer to filter out unneeded account information.
n
All LDAP reconciliation session data, such as reports and history, are stored in the local user’s account. If you log
into another workstation and/or as a different user, this information will not be available.
When you first connect to the Avid ISIS and LDAP servers, the Account Synchronizer checks the users in the
selected LDAP groups against the Avid ISIS database and builds a set of actions to reconcile the two. The main
window displays the complete set of groups, using buttons with colors and icons to indicate the reconciliation status
of each group.
You can click these buttons to view detailed information about actions to be performed on users in each group.
Modifying the Account Synchronizer Display
You can sort the columns in the display alphabetically, and add/remove one or more LDAP groups from the Account
Synchronizer display.
To sort columns:
t Click a column heading to sort the contents of the column alphabetically. Click the heading again to reverse the
sort.
To resize columns:
t Click and drag the divider between column headings.
Icon Meaning
The group is in the LDAP database, but not ISIS. The default action is to add the group and all users to ISIS.
The group is in both LDAP and ISIS, but the users are different between the two:
• If the user is in LDAP but not ISIS, the user will be added to ISIS.
• If the user is in ISIS, but not in LDAP, the user will be removed from the group in ISIS.
n
The user will no longer share privileges with the group. The user will still be able to access ISIS, and
membership in other local or LDAP groups is unaffected.
The group is in both LDAP and ISIS, and all users are reconciled. No action is taken by default.
The user and/or group is in ISIS, but not LDAP.
c
By default, all users and groups in this entry will be permanently deleted. If you do not want to
remove these users from the ISIS database you must manually override the default action before
performing a Reconcile action.
The user is an ISIS only group.
