Configure Updates on AD Connectors

The Cisco Active Directory (AD) Connector integrates with Umbrella to provision users and groups from your organization. You can install and configure the AD Connector to provision users and groups using LDAP Interchange Format (LDIF) source files. Once you deploy the LDIF files on your server, the AD Connector syncs the users and groups in your organization with Umbrella.
