LDAP Sync : Could not sync the user in AEM 6  as the syncUser method is not available under External Identity Synchronization Management (UserManagement) in JMX console.

We have done a fresh install of AEM 6 with SP2 , and trying to load the users by manual synchronisation of adding the user in the format ['cn=user001','ou=users','dc=day','dc=com'] in the JMX console under syncUsers method previously we use to add the users for version 5.6 but some how this function is not available in version 6.0, Kindlt help me in synchronizing the users and let me know if I am missing anything. LDAP test is working smooth and SSO configuration is all perfect. But user synchronization is not happening with LDAP.

You will need LDAP configured on the server. Since in AEM 6, LDAP is in oak, it is in a different place..

Search for name "External Identity Synchronization Management" in the JMX Console. Here you will find all the LDAP related operations.

The syncExternalUsers([Ljava.lang.String;p1) should provide the same functionality, to sync new users from LDAP.

Hi All,

But I am able to login using my ldap credentials, but I need to perform purgeOrphaned users and syncexternal users again, but the operations are not accessible from jmx anymore, as I keep getting this 404 error.

The same configuration is working fine on our other environments, so it can't be anything to do with configurations we use. There's nothing on the logs except

Could anyone help us with this issue. thanks.

Hi Kalyan,

I tried syncing a user manually but it wont happen.

syncExternalUsers([Ljava.lang.String;p1) What is p1 in this method?

['cn=sname\, fname,OU=ActiveUsers,OU=Clients,DC=ceb,DC=com'; ldap] -- I used this string as an input
