4.3 Managing LDAP Groups

During installation of the Mobility Pack or Data Synchronizer, you specified one LDAP group container and added LDAP groups from that container. After installation, you might have configured Synchronizer Web Admin to search additional containers for LDAP groups, as described in Section 3.1.1, Searching Multiple LDAP Contexts for Users and Groups. Now you can add LDAP groups to a connector from any container that Synchronizer Web Admin has been configured to search.
