LDAP Data Sync Settings

With LDAP, you can sync your data. Here are some basic data sync settings in Rocket.Chat.

Unique Identifier Field: The field that will link the LDAP user and the Rocket.Chat user. You can include multiple values separated by a comma to get the value from the LDAP record.
Merge Existing Users: Whether or not to merge existing users. When importing a user from LDAP and a user with the same username already exists, the new user data (including info and password) will merge into the existing data.
Update User Data on Login: Enable to update user data on login.
Default Domain: If provided, the default domain generates a unique email for users whose emails were not imported from LDAP. The mounting of the email will be username@default domain or unique id@default domain.

Avatar

Sync User Avatar: Enable syncing the user's avatar.
User Avatar Field: The field used as an avatar for users. Leave blank to use thumbnailPhoto first and jpegPhoto as a fallback.

Username Field: Usually, the sAMAccountName is used as a username for new users. Leave empty to let the user pick their Rocket.Chat username. You can use template tags too, for example:

#{givenName}.#{sn}
