LDAP Bulk Import
Bulk import pulls users from LDAP into ICE and creates local accounts for them based on their Active Directory properties. After performing an LDAP Bulk Import, all LDAP users matching the Search Base and Search Filter can login to ICE using their LDAP account.
Requirement
Bulk import requires a valid LDAP Service Account. The following procedure assumes you have already set LDAP as your Authentication Mechanism and have a valid LDAP Service Account. If not, see Configuring LDAP.
To bulk-import users from LDAP
1. Navigate to the Settings > Organization > Authentication tab.
2. In LDAP Bulk Import (at bottom of page), enter the following information:
3. Select Automatically run a bulk import each day if you want the ICE Server to actively import from the specified query at 12AM Central Standard Time every 24 hours.
4. In Search Base, enter the starting point for the Directory search performed in the Search Filter. Search Base must be the top node of the directory tree for ICE Server users. All Directory users to have ICE Server access must belong to the same LDAP directory tree or sub-tree.
Example:
DC=AD,DC=INSTANTCONNECTNOW,DC=COM
5. In Search Filter, enter the LDAP search query to search for users based on LADP attributes. You will require understanding of the LDAP directory tree to successfully target the file location of the ICE Users to authenticate. If Filter is left empty, then by default all users will get imported from that Search base.
Example:
&(objectClass=person)(userprincipalName=Jon.D@ad.instantconnectnow.com))
6. Execute and Save as follows:
A. Click the Test Execution button and correct any errors.
B. Repeat the previous step until a Test Execution completes to your satisfaction, and then click the Bulk Import Now button.
The LDAP users are imported and stored in the ICE database according to the parameters of the Search Filter in the directory location starting at the Search Base.
7. Click the Save button.
