This article applies to:

• Trustwave MailMarshal (SEG)
• Trustwave ECM/MailMarshal Exchange
• WebMarshal

Symptoms:

• Unable to import users from Active Directory using LDAP.
• A LDAP connection to Active Directory does not import some or all users from a group. The group may be empty, or some users may not be imported. This is noticeable when importing the Domain Users group.
• There are no errors in the Event Log or the MailMarshal Controller log file.

Causes:

When using LDAP, the connectors query Active Directory for the Members attribute of the group, not the PrimaryGroupID attribute. Microsoft recognizes that this can create issues reporting some groups.

Resolution:

Import groups using the Active Directory connector type. This connector avoids the limits imposed by LDAP connectors.

AD import is available in current product versions:

• Trustwave MailMarshal (SEG) 6.X and above
• Trustwave ECM/MailMarshal Exchange 7.X
• WebMarshal 6.X and 7.X

Workaround:

To import the information using LDAP, create a new user group (or groups) which is not set as the Primary Group. Make the required users a member of this group. The new group can then be imported into MailMarshal using LDAP.

An alternative is to change the users' Primary Group. Set the Primary Group to a group that you do not need or want to import.
