    1. Enter the details for connecting to your LDAP server.

    2. Enter the maximum accounts to import at one time. The default is 0, which means that no limits are set.

    3. Enable Automatically create missing domains, so that when an account is imported and the domain they were on is not already created on ZCS, the domain is automatically created.

If you do not enable Automatically create missing domains, accounts from domains that do not exist on ZCS are not created. Disabling this option, makes it easy to import accounts from specific domains that have been pre created on ZCS.

    1. Enter the following information about the AD or LDAP server:Server Name.

      • The LDAP URL is entered as ldap://ldapdirectory.example.com.

      • If the default port number is not correct, change it..

      • Use Security. Select SSL if this is used.

      • Bind DN and bind password.

      • LDAP filter. In this field enter the LDAP search filter to run. Here you can define search criteria to collect the type of account information you want to import. The filter in the field (objectClass=organizationalPerson), is set to gather account information, including email address, individual first, middle, last names, postal and phone information if it is available. You can change the filter.

      • LDAP search base is used to configure which subsection of the LDAP forest to search.

After you complete this dialog, click Next.

The Account Migration Wizard connects to the directory server and generates a report showing the number of domains found; number of accounts found on the server and how many of those accounts are already created on ZCS. This dialog also shows the password options you configured.

  1. Click Next. The accounts are provisioned on the ZCS server.

A Provision Accounts dialog displays the number of accounts imported and number of accounts that failed to be imported. A .csv file is created with the list of all provisioned accounts. This list includes the password information for each account.

  1. Download the .csv file that lists the provisioned accounts and their passwords. The .csv file is deleted when you close the wizard.

Important: If you do not download the file, you cannot access the report later.
