Targeting AEM content based on AD groups

[SwetaB]

Hi,

We are on AEM 6.5.

The use case is to use AD groups to target content. The content can be in any path and can be targeted to a number of groups. when the members of that group login to the site they are able to see the content targeted for them. There are around 500+ AD groups. The application is using SAML based login.

How to sync the AD groups to AEM? 

Any example on the targeting of content based on AD groups.

To target AEM content based on AD groups:

1. Sync AD Groups to AEM:

   • Use LDAP Integration or SAML Attribute Mapping to synchronize AD groups to AEM.
   • Map AD groups to AEM user properties or groups.

2. Assign Groups to Users:

   • After sync, assign users to corresponding AEM groups based on their AD group membership.

3. Target Content:

   • Use AEM Personalization or Adobe Target to target content based on AD group membership.
   • Create targeting rules in AEM to serve content based on the user's group.

For more details, refer to AEM’s LDAP configuration and personalization documentation.

Hi Amit,

Thanks for the response.

I am using SAML synchronize atrributes to sync AD groups. But this happens when the user logs in.

In case I need to Sync all the groups in a daily basis, will it be a custom developement.

Is there a way the AD groups can be synced into Target, so that it would be available for audience selection.
