How customer user information is updated from Active Directory?

Post by drodralv »

Hi,

Do you guys know where is set the time that is refreshed the customers information from Active Directory?

I see something like this:

# cache time to live in sec. - cache any ldap queries
CacheTTL => 60 * 60 * 24,

But not sure if it is what i´m looking for. Any tracking log file where i could see the exactly time that is connecting to the directory?

Thanks a lot

connection is done when data is not in the cache to show data. So it is more or less a live connection. No data is copied to OTRS database

Hi,

Thank you for your reply.

So imagine that the job position for that person has changed. When will be that visible in OTRS? I have received information that the changes are updated in OTRS within minutes...hours... but i could not find where is that set up.

Any ideas?

Thank you.

it will show up when the cache is updated, so if you configure 24h for the cache you have to wait a day

It was finally updated, correct.
If that cache will be refreshed every 24 hours, will be possible to know at what exactly time?

Thank you

each query has its own cache, so it will be updated when the specific cache is older than 24 hours and a new query is performed
