Hi,

ah, I didn't realize that you were running 2.0.x. Yes I believe the option to disable nightly sync was added in 2.5. Changing this in 2.0.x is not recommended and would likely be very difficult to do. I would really suggest looking into using groups or a user filter of some kind to differentiate users. You can find more documentation about this here:

Thanks.

I think this option has been added in CS 2.5.x - we are using CS 2.0.7 and can't update at the moment. Ldap filter won't work - people who will use CS do not belong to any specyfic group or subtree. Moreover we want to make it possible for everybody on LDAP to login.

Hi,

You should be able to disable sync from the Admin console:

Admin Console -> People -> Settings -> User Data Synchronization Settings:

There should be a box named:

Scheduled sync task enabled?

Yes, by user filter I mean't the ldap.searchFilter system property. You can create an LDAP search filter which will ignore users which do not match this filter. This will allow you to specify people who are part of certain groups, OU's, etc and only have them get sync'ed in Clearspace. Thanks.

Two questions:

* How to disable sync? I tried setting 'jive.sync.user.ldap' property to false, but synchronization still run.

* What do you mean by user filter? LDAP search pattern(ldap.searchFilter)?

Thanks

It is possible to disable the LDAP sync service but I think your best bet would be to create a user filter that only sync's the users that you want to be enabled in clearspace. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks.

Hi,

Is it possible to disable LDAP sync service from running every night? Or at least stop it from creating new user accounts? We have over 3000 people in LDAP and we don't expect more then 10%-20% of them to ever login to Clearspace. It doesn't make sense to keep them all in database.

Thanks,
