Adding Directories in Workspace ONE Access

You can integrate your enterprise directories, create local directories, and view and monitor all your directories from the Integrations > Directories page in the Workspace ONE Access console.

Adding Directories

To add directories, select the type of directory that you want to add from the Add Directory drop-down menu. You can add these types of directories:

• Active Directory

  You can create a directory of type Active Directory over LDAP or Active Directory over Integrated Windows Authentication in Workspace ONE Access to integrate with Active Directory. For more information, see:

  • Workspace ONE Access Directory Integration Requirements and Supported Directories
  • About Integrating Your Enterprise Directory with Workspace ONE Access
  • Managing User Attributes in Workspace ONE Access
  • Integrating Active Directory with Workspace ONE Access
• LDAP Directory

  You can create an LDAP directory in Workspace ONE Access to integrate with LDAP directories such as OpenLDAP and Oracle LDAP. For more information, see:

  • Workspace ONE Access Directory Integration Requirements and Supported Directories
  • About Integrating Your Enterprise Directory with Workspace ONE Access
  • Managing User Attributes in Workspace ONE Access
  • Integrating LDAP Directories with Workspace ONE Access
• Local User Directory

  You can create a local user directory to provision local users in Workspace ONE Access. A local directory is not connected to an enterprise directory and users are not synced from an enterprise directory. Instead, you create local users directly in the local directory.

  For more information, see Using Local Directories in Workspace ONE Access in the VMware Workspace ONE Access Administration guide.

Viewing and Managing Directories

You can view and monitor all your Workspace ONE Access directories from the Integrations > Directories page.

• To view the number of domains, users, and user groups synced to or created in the directory, see the Domains, Synced Groups, and Synced Users columns.
• To update the list of domains, group DNs, and user DNs that sync to the directory, click the directory name, select the Sync Settings tab, and update the appropriate sections.

  For local user directories, click the directory name and view or update domains on the directory page. To add or update local users and groups, navigate to the Accounts > Users and Accounts > User Groups pages.

• To view the sync status for directories, see the Last Synced Attempt and Alerts columns.

  If any alerts occured during sync, they appear in the Alerts column. Click the link to view the alerts.

  To view detailed sync logs, click the directory name, then select the Sync Logs tab.

• To view or update sync frequency and sync safeguards settings, click the directory name, select the Sync Settings tab, and expand the Sync Frequency or Safeguards sections.
• To sync a directory, select the directory and select Sync > Sync with safeguards or Sync > Sync without safeguards.
• To view or update the directory configuration, click the directory name and select the Settings tab.
• To view the authentication methods configured for the directory, click the directory name and select the Identity Providers tab.
