Why You Run the Send Pending LDAP Requests Process
It's best practice to run the Send Pending LDAP Requests process daily to send future-dated and bulk requests to your LDAP directory server. Schedule the process in the Scheduled Processes work area. This topic describes the purpose of Send Pending LDAP Requests.
Send Pending LDAP Requests sends the following items to the LDAP directory:
-
Requests to create, suspend, and reactivate user accounts.
-
When you create a person record for a worker, a user-account request is generated automatically.
-
When a person has no roles and no current work relationships, a request to suspend the user account is generated automatically.
-
A request to reactivate a suspended user account is generated automatically if you rehire a terminated worker.
The process sends these requests to the LDAP directory unless the automatic creation and management of user accounts are disabled for the enterprise.
-
-
Work e-mails.
If you include work e-mails when you create person records, then the process sends those e-mails to the LDAP directory.
-
Role provisioning and deprovisioning requests.
The process sends these requests to the LDAP directory unless automatic role provisioning is disabled for the enterprise.
-
Changes to person attributes for individual users.
The process sends this information to the LDAP directory unless the automatic management of user accounts is disabled for the enterprise.
All of these items are sent to the LDAP directory automatically unless they're either future-dated or generated by bulk data upload. You run the process Send Pending LDAP Requests to send future-dated and bulk requests to the LDAP directory.
