11 Verify that the Directories Management directory attribute names are mapped to the correct Active
Directory attributes.

from the drop-down menu.
12 Click Next.
13
Click to select the groups you want to sync from Active Directory to the directory.
When you add an Active Directory group, if members of that group are not in the Users list, they are
added.
Note The Directories Management user authentication system imports data from Active Directory
when adding groups and users, and the speed of the system is limited by Active Directory
capabilities. As a result, import operations may require a significant amount of time depending on the
number of groups and users being added. To minimize the potential for delays or problems, limit the
number of groups and users to only those required for vRealize Automation operation. If your system
performance degrades or if errors occur, close any unneeded applications and ensure that your
system has appropriate memory allocated to Active Directory. If problems persist, increase the Active
Directory memory allocation as needed. For systems with large numbers of users and groups, you
may need to increase the Active Directory memory allocation to as much as 24 GB.
14 Click Next.
15
Click to add additional users. For example, enter as
CN-username,CN=Users,OU-myUnit,DC=myCorp,DC=com.
To exclude users, click to create a filter to exclude some types of users. You select the user
attribute to filter by, the query rule, and the value.
16 Click Next.
17 Review the page to see how many users and groups are syncing to the directory.
If you want to make changes to users and groups, click the Edit links.
