Automatically maintain users from AD group

[Geert Bellekens]

In the release notes for version 14.1 I see this:

- Added option to automatically maintain the list of available users based on Windows Active Directory or OpenID groups

But I can't seem to figure out how this automatic function works.
Surely they can't mean that you can now press a "sync" button can they? That wouldn't count as automatic for me.

What I'm expecting from this is that I now only once have to set the link between the AD groups and EA groups and that's it. No more adding/removing users of users anymore. (Just like all the other products that integrate with AD) Am I expecting too much?

The bottom two options are what you want. At login it manages group membership etc. I believe there is still local user and group entries required, but it will no longer be used for login.

I'm not sure how it handles deleted users. They should no longer have access to the model, but there may still be a user entry.

Thanks Simon,

I was looking for something like that in the "manage groups" dialog. (seemed like the logical place for it)
