    Note: If you are using LDAPS, enter the IP or FQDN as ldaps://myldapsserver.com
    B: Enter a Service Account user with read access in the LDAP Bind User field
    Note: The user must be entered as user@domain.com

      A: Enter in a name for the Security Group
      Note: Try to keep these similar to the VALT groups you have created
      B: Enter in the DN for the Security Group, omitting the DC components
      Example: CN=Service Accounts,OU=Users,OU=Install
      C: 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
      D: 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'
      E: Select any Additional Groups you would like the users added to
      F: Click Save
      1. Test that the user import worked:

      A. Click on the Group
      B. Click Import

      • If the import was successful, and there are users assigned to Security Groups, you will see this message:

      1. Type the distinguished name for the user into the LDAP field, omitting the DC components
        Example: CN=testuser,OU=Users
      2. Select a Group from the Group to Add field.
        Note: If you do not select a group, the user will still be important and must be assigned a group manually.
