- Sync users into a specific membergroup (primary group only), only on initial import not available when updating existing users.
- Sync active directory users into SMF members table, the details synced are: username, email
- If a user has already been synced into the members table then only the email address is updated in the members table.
- When logging into SMF the username is checked against the members table and if it exists then a check is done externally to SMF against the active directory to validate the username and password.
- Passwords are NEVER stored in SMF.
