Release Notes - Version 26.9

Scheduled LDAP Group Sync

This release introduces a small change over how we sync the LDAP groups.

On every login of an LDAP user, EEforce Server was fetching user's group memberships from the LDAP Server. EEforce Server was also fetching members of a certain group from the LDAP Server manually. We have received information from customers that these two fetches are returning different results and causing some users to be removed from group.

While this can be an isolated configuration issue with LDAP Server, we see an opportunity in it to improve the robustness of our system.

With this patch version, we have changed how the LDAP group sync is working.

• We removed login triggered user based fetch is removed.
• We added a scheduler to sync all groups (equivalent to clicking Sync LDAP Members) that is possible to set to work on everh 30 minutes, every hour, ever 4 hours and once in a day.
• When a LDAP user added, Sync is triggered automatically.
• It's also possible to trigger full sync from LDAP Settings page in the Web Administration.
