NAME

otpme-resolver - manage OTPme resolvers for importing objects from external directories

SYNOPSIS

otpme-resolver [--type resolver_type] command [options] [resolver]

DESCRIPTION

otpme-resolver manages resolvers in the OTPme system. Resolvers synchronize objects (users, groups) from external directory services into OTPme. Currently the supported resolver type is LDAP, which connects to LDAP directories (e.g. Active Directory, OpenLDAP) and imports user and group objects.

Resolvers can run periodically at a configured sync interval, and can optionally delete OTPme objects that no longer exist in the external directory.

COMMANDS

delete_objects [--object-types types] resolver
Delete objects imported by the resolver.

key_attribute resolver object_type attribute
Set the key attribute used to match objects during sync (e.g. entryUUID).

enable_sync_units resolver
Enable synchronization of organizational units.

disable_sync_units resolver
Disable synchronization of organizational units.

enable_deletions resolver
Enable deletion of OTPme objects that no longer exist in the external directory.

disable_deletions resolver
