The extension provides a Scheduler task for automating the import of users from the configured LDAP servers.

The task comes with several options, as can be seen in the Scheduler module:

Configuration of the Scheduler task

Configuration options for the Scheduler task

The options are the following:

  • Mode: Choose to import LDAP users who are not yet available in TYPO3 or only synchronize existing TYPO3 users with changes from LDAP.

  • Context: Choose to import only frontend users, backend users or both.
  • Configuration: Choose which configuration to use, or choose "All" to automate import of users from all available configurations.

  • Handling of missing users: What to do with users which are not found on the LDAP server anymore. They can be deleted, disabled or left as is.
  • Handling of restored users: If user has been deleted or disabled locally, it may be automatically restored upon import. Each user may be either un-deleted, re-enabled or both. It can be also left as is by choosing to do nothing.
