When to use OIM-LDAP Synchronization & when to use OIM AD/LDAP Connector

Problem Statement: When to use OIM-LDAP Synchronization? When to use OIM AD/LDAP Connector?

1. When to recommend LDAP Sync in OIM:
   1. For all the AD groups management (JML operations) from OIM.
   2. If the user base in OIM & AD is same, then LDAP Sync can be opted.
   3. If OIM-OAM integration is planned in future, then in advance LDAPSync can be opted.
2. When to go for AD or LDAP Connector:
   1. If a subset of OIM users have to be provisioned to AD automatically, then AD connector is recommended.
   2. If AD or LDAP need to be shown as an account for the users , then AD connector is recommended.
3. For OIM – OAM integration, LDAPSync is a must, otherwise it is not mandatory. All most all use cases can be handled using LDAP Connector or AD Connector.
