Hi

How can I troubleshoot problems with the user synchronisation from Active Directory or any other LDAP server?

For example if the synchronisation runs successfully but not all my users gets imported.

Hi

With version 7.4 and later (7.0.12 and later)

You can find the following messages in the logs:

11:35:00.997 INFO [ch.ivyteam.ivy.security.user.synch] [ivy immediate job pool-thread-1] [executionContext=SYSTEM] 
  Start synchronizing users of application ads with external security system Microsoft Active Directory on zugtstdirads

11:45:23.687 INFO [ch.ivyteam.ivy.security.user.synch] [ivy immediate job pool-thread-3] [executionContext=SYSTEM] 
  User synchronization of application ads with external security system Microsoft Active Directory on zugtstdirads finished.
  943 users were read from naming and directory server.
  943 users were analyzed.
  943 users were imported.
  0 users were deleted.
  0 users were updated.
  4 users were added to a role.
  0 users were removed from a role.
  Total execution time was 10 seconds.

Here you find how many users were read from the external server and what was done with them.

Additionally you can configure the log level of the logger ch.ivyteam.ivy.security.user.synch to DEBUG . Now you find detailed log messages what is done during the user synchronisation:

14:21:06.271 DEBUG [ch.ivyteam.ivy.security.user.synch] [ivy immediate job pool-thread-1] [executionContext=SYSTEM] 
  Imported user 'Administrator'
14:21:06.301 DEBUG [ch.ivyteam.ivy.security.user.synch] [ivy immediate job pool-thread-1] [executionContext=SYSTEM] 
  Imported user 'Gast'
14:21:06.312 DEBUG [ch.ivyteam.ivy.security.user.synch] [ivy immediate job pool-thread-1] [executionContext=SYSTEM] 
  Imported user 'krbtgt'

If you configure the log level of the logger ch.ivyteam.ivy.security.ldap.api to DEBUG you enable low level LDAP API log messages:

11:31:33.861 DEBUG [ch.ivyteam.ivy.security.ldap.api] [ivy immediate job pool-thread-1] [executionContext=SYSTEM]

  LDAP call returned attribute 'memberOf' with 5 values. Execution time was 2 ms

If you configure the log level of the logger ch.ivyteam.ivy.security.ldap.wire to DEBUG you enable low level binary LDAP protocol messages:

11:35:01.266 DEBUG [ch.ivyteam.ivy.security.ldap.wire] [Thread-8] []

Before version 7.4 (7.0.12)

You can find the following messages in the logs:

2019-04-12 00:00:01.638 INFO [ch.ivyteam.ivy.security.internal.jndi] [ivy scheduled job pool-thread-2] [executionContext=SYSTEM]

  0 users were imported.
  0 users were deleted.
  0 users were updated.
  0 users were added to a role.
  0 users were removed from a role.

Here you find how many users were read from the external server and what was done with them.

Additionally you can configure the log level of the logger ch.ivyteam.ivy.security.internal.jndi to DEBUG . Now you find low level binary LDAP messages that are sent and received the LDAP server:

11:35:01.266 DEBUG [ch.ivyteam.ivy.security.internal.jndi] [Thread-8] []
