Still keep remote LDAP user xxx though it has ceased existing remotely

And

Cannot assign an FTM token to…..? Or   Failed to sync remote LDAP user

Please let me know what does this means of these logs

Are these two alerts coming for same not existing user or happens with every user you are trying to assign token ?
Do you have available tokens to assign ?
Does this user has a defined email on the remote LDAP ?

 

Please provide full logs shown, it must be more explanatory about the issue. 

 Please provide also what @ndumaj  requested, it is wise to check from firmware perspective.

Hello GiangNH

What is your FAC software version?
Please can you provide us a screenshot or full message log?
Did the issue appeared after any upgrade?

Hello @GiangNH ,

 

In addition to @ndumaj 


From explanation "Still keep remote LDAP user xxx though it has ceased existing remotely" it looks like this user is not existing anymore on the remote server but still exists in FAC

Looks like related to this option here:

Hi,
Does this user exist on your LDAP server?
Do you see this user on FAC Remote users? If yes, Does this user has a defined email address?

Hi,

May I know purpose when this option is enable?

Hi:
Do not delete synced users when they are no longer found on the remote server -->
Select to ensure that synchronized users are not deleted when they are no longer found on the remote server. This option is only available when Proceed with rule even when response empty is disabled.
