   Note
   title Attention!
   If LDAP users are located in multiple directories with a tree-like structure, you cannot establish instant synchronization across all users. To synchronize each user group within a DN branch, you have to specify the path to the corresponding directory. For example, LDAP contains a directory Employees including subdirectories Managers, Cashiers and Salesmen. DN branches for synchronizing users within Managers directory: ou=Managers,ou=Employees,dc=example,dc=com. DN branches for synchronizing users within Cashiers directory: ou=Cashiers,ou=Employees,dc=example,dc=com. DN branches for synchronizing users within Salesmen directory: ou=Salesmen,ou=Employees,dc=example,dc=com.

   Note
   title Attention!
   To upload users by groups, not by directories, you should use the Member Of filter attribute. For example: (&(objectClass=user)(memberof=CN=YourGroup,OU=Users,DC=YourDomain,DC=com).

   To set a login and DN attribute, you can use Microsoft Active Directory and OpenLDAP LDAP templates. To use a template, click the relevant link (10).
