Question

Is it possible to synchronize Groups of FlexiCapture accounts with Active Directory without using the FlexiCapture 12 interface?

Answer

It is possible to synchronize groups of FlexiCapture accounts with Active Directory without using the FlexiCapture 12 interface. You can use POST requests if you need to perform synchronization automatically on schedule.

To do this, send the following request via the appropriate software (Postman, cURL, etc.):

http://urlToMonitoring/winauth/ActiveDirectory/SynchronizeGroups

Please do not forget to specify the required parameters:

• Server – Active Directory domain name
• IsWindowsAuthentication – Windows authentication on an Active Directory server
• UserName – user name to connect to Active Directory
  • Note: This parameter is not applied if IsWindowsAuthentication=true
• Password – user password
  • Note: This parameter is not applied if IsWindowsAuthentication=true
• SearchGroups – group search
• SearchGroupsUsers – allows searching for users in groups
• SearchSubGroups – allows searching for subgroups in groups
• Query – search bar to search for groups and users in Active Directory

It is important to remember that the SynchronizeGroups function can be used only for the import of users belonging to already imported groups. Thus, if you have created a new group in Active Directory and want to add its users to FlexiCapture 12, you must import this group using standard methods first and then you can send the POST request for synchronization.
