•In most cases, you can associate one LDAP filter apiece to one DMM user group. Likewise, in most cases, you can associate one DMM user group apiece to one LDAP filter. The Digital Signs user group is an exception to both of these principles. It is built-in to Cisco DMS.

•After you associate a DMM user group to an LDAP filter, you cannot use features on the Users tab to delete the DMM user group until after you delete the LDAP filter. However, even when you delete an LDAP filter, there is no requirement to delete its associated DMM user group. Furthermore, there is no way for you to delete the Digital Signs user group. It is built-in to Cisco DMS.

Understand Manual Synchronization

Manual synchronization mode requires you to choose Administration > Settings > Authentication > Synchronize Users > LDAP Bookmarks during all future synchronizations. Afterward, you must click Update.

Note Manual synchronization mode deletes your schedule for automatic synchronizations.

Understand Automatic Synchronization

Automatic synchronization mode automates and schedules incremental updates to user accounts that match Active Directory filters that you defined in DMS-Admin. When you use automatic synchronization mode, new fields and elements become available to you. These help you to configure the settings for automatic synchronization.

Tip See the “Understand Synchronization of a DMM Group to an LDAP Filter” section on page 6-13.
