    1. Enter in a name for the Security Group
    Note: Try to keep these similar to the VALT groups you have created

    Example: CN=Service Accounts,OU=Users,OU=Install
    3. Select the VALT Group to have the users added to
    Note: The VALT groups need to be created before you can link the Security Groups to them
    4. Choose either Manual or Automatic Sync Type
    Note: Automatic syncs users every day at 7AM server time whereas Manual requires an Admin account to manually sync the users
    5. Select any Additional Groups you would like the users added to
    6. Click Save



    1. Type a name into the LDAP Sync Schedules name field.
    2. In the Bind Script field, enter the DN for the security group without the DC components.
      For Example: CN=VALT Users, CN=Users
    3. Select a group the users should be added to. A group must be specified.
    4. Select a sync interval if you would like to automatically import new users added to the group.
    5. Click Save to save the sync schedule or Import to perform an import and save the schedule.
