We are using the AD/LDAP connection for our domain and would like to prevent students from logging in to created tickets.
You can set up (multiple) active directory connections with search filters applied.
For instance: (&(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=user)(memberOf:1.2.840.113556.1.4.1941:=CN=xxxxxx,OU=xxxxx,OU=Users,DC=xxxxx,DC=xxxxx))
This search filter will recursively match group members of the group listed after the ":="
You could just specify your "Teachers" security group in the search filter.
You could also specify the "Users DN" in the directory connector to exclude students from the scope
That's interesting...
I currently have two AD Connections set up, each querying separate AD Security groups in WHD, one for our "on-site" staff, which is about 150 users, and another connection for "off-site" staff, which is about 1,100. The AD Connectors then hard-code the location to "on site" and "remote" respectively.
What is your connection timeout set to in the WHD Connection properties box? Maybe it's timing out before all user accounts are transferred?
What is your AD Forest level, and what server are you pulling the AD connection from?
