Sync from Active Directory/LDAP server

Note: Before you install the Zoho One sync tool, ensure that you meet the system requirements.

1. Sign in to Zoho One , then click Directory in the left menu.
   
2. Go to Active Directory, then click Download.
   
   
   
3. Install the downloaded file in the Domain Controller (DC), or a system connected to the DC.
   
4. Open the tool, go to Zoho Sign-in, then sign in with your Zoho One admin credentials.
   
5. Go to LDAP Configuration, then sign in with your LDAP domain's administrator credentials. Sign in to all the required domains.
   
   
   

   
   
6. Choose the required OUs and objects to sync with Zoho.
   
Note: You can check the users and groups that are eligible for sync by clicking View Count in Select OUs.

7. To further filter the objects to sync, go to Exclusion Rules, then click Add Rule. Select the type of objects to filter out, select the field name and exclusion criteria, then enter the values. Click Add.
   
8. Go to Attributes, then map the LDAP fields with the Admin Panel's fields. The list of attributes available to choose from are:
   
1. Email ID
   
2. Secondary Email
   
3. SAM Account Name
   
4. First Name

9. If you have users without a domain-based custom email address, consider using the Replace Domain option under the Email Address attribute. Learn more about replacing the domain.
   
   
   
10. Go to Sync Settings, then set the following:
    
1. Default Password: This one-time password will be used for all newly-created Zoho user accounts. Users will be prompted to set a new password during their first sign-in.
   
2. User Settings: This setting dictates how the Sync Tool will handle user accounts deleted in the AD server.
   
3. Create LDAP Group: This setting creates a Zoho One collaboration group named after your Portal Name, for all users synced from AD through this tool.
   
4. Create Groups for OUs: This setting creates a Zoho One collaboration group named after the OU, for each OU that is being synced.
   
11. Go to Directory Sync, and review the list of all users and groups that are yet to be created, updated, or disabled. Click Sync.
    
Note: You can see the status of all the users/groups after the sync.
