Active directory Synchronization

Question

Hi,

I have installed a new instance of JIRA 7.8. When i configure the Organization's Active directory, it is automatically syncing all the users, there are more than 40K Users in our Org, i don't want to sync all those users to our JIRA instance. If I enable the Active Directory it is starting syncing automatically, which is what i don't want and i didn't see any option to not to sync.

Your suggestions are much appreciated.

Nagaraju,

Why wouldn't you do the full AD sync during off hours, then make sure 'incremental sync' is selected in the AD user directory? We have 7k in my organization and it didn't take long to do a full sync.

Hi Kelly,

I Appreciate for your response. Sorry.. my Question was in a wrong note.

my requirement was to maintain AD authentication with out syncing the AD Users to JIRA. I was selecting a wrong option while Adding a Directory. I have to Select “Internal with LDAP Authentication”  but not “Microsoft Active Directory”  since it is only for authentication purpose. i found the answer.

Thanks...
