Add/modify directory - Select Groups tab

Use the Select Groups tab to choose groups of users to be included when the directory and the FortiNAC database are synchronized. Users that do not already exist in FortiNAC are not imported. However, user data for users already in the database is updated each time the Synchronization task is run. Only the user records for users in the selected groups are updated. Users in the directory that are not in a selected group are ignored during Synchronization.

  1. To access Group Selections for an existing Directory select System > Settings.
  2. Click the Authentication folder in the tree control.
  3. Click LDAP to display the Directories window.
  4. If you are adding a new Directory, the Select Groups tab is displayed when you click Next after completing the Search Branches tab.
  5. Mark the Groups of users that should be included when the Directory and the database are synchronized by checking the box in the Active column. If you do not check any boxes, all Groups will be included.
  6. A check mark in the Is Organizational Unit column indicates that the group is an OU or a container for other groups. This field cannot be edited.
  7. Click OK to save the directory configuration.
  8. An initial Synchronization is done immediately when you save the Directory. It is recommended that you set up a schedule for synchronizing the Directory See Schedule directory synchronization.
