LDAP and Client Name Changes

How does LDAP handle Client name changes?  I am seeing the client with the 'old' name inactivated and a new client created with the 'new' name.  Is there a way to set this up so that the previous client gets updated instead. Assets assigned to 'old' client need to manually moved over to 'new' client from the inactive one.  Any suggestions how to handle this?  Thanks.

  • Hi

    From experience, the LDAP sync will handle some field changes just fine but for name or email addresses changes I have found it easiest to actually go in and edit the Client record directly in WHD to reflect your AD changes before the next LDAP sync runs. That way your Client will retain the ticket history & assigned assets etc.

    Also- you can set LDAP to sync using either User name or email address (under LDAP Connections> Connection Basics> Advanced> Bulk Synchronisation if you are editing an existing connection), so that might work for you depending on whether the username and email address are both changing in your instance?

    Thanks
