Synchronizing User Directories
Additional information such as department, job title, email, and group is required if policy is to be established using the usage information. If the user is not created locally but exists externally, this information should be retrieved via synchronization. Additional information can be used to create user groups or use them as node group conditions. Genian NAC can source this info from various sources.
