   BaseDN	The starting point in the directory tree where the server will search for users.
   Search Filter	The LDAP search filter syntax used to query the users

3. Set synchronization schedule to automatically sync users or users and groups.

   1. Select the frequency of the synchronization, Weekly, or Monthly. Select None to disable automatic syncing.

   2. Select the desired time zone from the drop down menu.

   3. Set the time of synchronization by selecting hour and minute.

   4. Select the days on which the synchronization must be performed. When configuring the synchronization frequency to Monthly, select 31 from At day drop down to schedule synchronization on the last day of each month.

      If both the Sync Schedule and Campaign Schedule which includes Azure AD users as recipients, are configured for the same time, the schedule that is executed first will delay the execution of the other until it is completed.

   1. Click Test Connectivity. The Test Connectivity dialog opens.
   2. Enter the LDAP User Name and Password.
   3. Click Submit.
6. Click Submit to save the new LDAP server configuration. A confirmation message is displayed.

Synchronize the LDAP Server

The LDAP Server page allows you to monitor the status of scheduled synchronizations and manually trigger an update.

1. Go to Recipients > LDAP Server .
   The Sync Status column displays the current status of the last synchronization. Hover over the status to view the total number of users or users and groups fetched during that sync.
   The Next Sync Scheduled At column, displays date and time of the next synchronization schedule. If sync schedule is not configured, NA is displayed.
2. Click the Sync icon in the Action column. During the sync process, the Sync Status window displays the number of users (and groups) being fetched.

Delete an LDAP Server

1. Go to Recipients > LDAP Server .

2. In the Actions column of the desired LDAP client click the delete button. A confirmation window is displayed.

3. Click Yes.

   When you delete an LDAP client from FortiPhish, the existing imported groups and users lose their association with that client but remain in FortiPhish, and their Created field changes from LDAP to Others. Once an entity is marked as Others, you can modify or delete it directly within the FortiPhish portal.
