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....

The LDAP sync node will not sync group memberships, the node only syncs users. Then based on the usernames output from the node you can then sync those users to groups using a process model, like in the example. If you just have the LDAP sync node in your model, the plugin will find users in LDAP matching your LDAP search criteria and then create/update them in Appian. It does not resolve group memberships on its own.
