Im using the LDAP Synchronization smart service to keep our Appian user store in synch with our LDAP. However, Im having trouble with updating the groups in Appian when they change in LDAP.
Im not familiar with what this service can and cant do so I'd like to ask if this is possible. If it is, please point me to some documentation on how to properly configure this. I've obviously missed something.
Thank you....

What is the best practice for working with Appian Groups and People (synced from LDAP)? Im wondering if we are trying to do things the hard way here. Should Groups be managed in Appian in conjunction with…

Mike, I have looked over the example in an attempt to sync LDAP Groups (membership) to my Appian instance but am struggling to get it working. Originally we had Appian Support help us with this, and it appears very straight forward, but the groups and uniqueMember attributes are no longer being updated in Appian.

Basically we want to sync everything under the base DN, people and groups. Our groups are set up in a way that people are uniqueMembers of an organizational group. These organizational groups are then uniqueMembers of application groups.
We use the application groups to authorize users within an application. We occasionally add LDAP organization or application groups which would need to be synced in Appian. Does the LDAP User Profile Synchronization with Usernames plugin support syncing everything under the base DN like I described?

Our process is simple. I consists of the start node, the LDAP sync node, and the end node. Any help or suggestions is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
