Forti Authenticator sync sso groups

Hi,

 

i'm looking for a way to sync the sso groups from AD.  Now we manually import a group.  But if the name changes for example, we need to import it manually again.  I don't believe there is an option in the Authenticator environment itself to sync this?

 

Running 6.5.5 btw.

Hi

You should use sync rule instead of importing the groups. You can access it via this menu:

User Management > Remote User Sync Rule.

Hope it helps.

    Hi,

    Please note that remote sync rule  will not sync the user manually imported by Remote Users -> Import.Kindly refer the below document.

    As update by  AEK, you need use sync rule instead of importing the groups.

      Hi, thx for the feedback.  I believe the sync rule can not be made for syncing sso groups?
