Best Practices for LDIF Source Deployments

  • Do not combine manually provisioned (CSV file) users and groups with LDIF-based sourcing deployments. If you use both deployment methods, you may add duplicate users and groups in your organization.
  • To migrate from the manually provisioned users and groups to LDIF-based sourcing, delete the CSV file with the users and groups that you uploaded to Secure Access.
  • If you have multiple Active Directory deployments and choose to manually provision users and groups, we recommend that you deploy the AD Connector with LDIF source files.
  • Once you provision users and groups with LDIF-based sourcing, we do not recommend that you delete the deployment and provision the users and groups using another deployment method.
  • LDIF-based sourcing does not require Secure Access Domain Controllers.
