Active Directory Connector |

|
The Active Directory connector will let you connect any Active Directory primary controller user base and use it as a panel inside FeedbackServer. Once connected it will synchronize the information available in the PDC with the local FeedbackServer database.
Its important to note that if you need to synchronize a large set of AD users (50k+) you must make sure that your local FeedbackServer database has enough space available for the synchronized data and for the transaction log of its SQL before synchronizing.
Following Active Directory user schema attributes are currently available and supported for synchronization :
- c (country code)
- company
- departmenet
- description
- displayName
- givenName
- initials
- l (city)
- mail (email)
- name
- physicalDeliveryOfficeName
- postalCode
- postOfficeBox
- sn (last name)
- streetAddress
- title
