Group Synchronization with LDAP (deprecated)
Prior to the introduction of Access Management, Tridion Sites supported automated configuration of Content Manager users with the Group Synchronization option in the Tridion.ContentManager.config file. This option now applies only to the deprecated way to configure LDAP.
If large number of users need to be configured, you can enable Group Synchronization in the directoryServices section of Content Manager configuration file, Tridion.ContentManager.config. If you do not enable Group Synchronization, you need to add users manually in Content Manager.
When you enable Group Synchronization, users will be automatically be added to the Content Manager and added to the related group if the following conditions hold:
- The user matches a Content Manager group that has been added to the Content Manager using an LDAP mapping.
- The user has access to at least one Publication in the Content Manager.
The following image shows the flow of an LDAP login if Group Synchronization is enabled:
