  1. Import data from an LDAP address book into the Intellect Axxon PSIM database.
  2. Synchronize the Intellect Axxon PSIM database with an LDAP address book.
Note
titleImportant!

All entries stored in an LDAP directory have uid (unique user id) and ou (department) attributes. If these attributes are absent, then LDAP service fails to import and synchronize users between LDAP address book and Intellect Axxon PSIM DB.

If other attributes are used as unique id and department name in the address book, then these attributes  are to be specified while configuring LDAP Service – see Configuration of correspondence between address attributes and Intellect Axxon PSIM DB fields.

When importing or synchronizing, users which have been manually created in the Intellect Axxon PSIM Software Systembefore or after the import operation are not affected.

Importing data and synchronizing the Intellect Axxon PSIM database with an LDAP address book are accomplished using macros (the LDAP Service object's Get all employees action – see Example macro for user import from LDAP address book; see Creating and using macros for detailed information about macros). Use a Timer object for scheduled synchronization (see Creating and using the Timer object).

The following LDAP attributes are supported by IntellectAxxon PSIM:
