Scheduler automation
--------------------

The extension provides a Scheduler task for automating the import of users from
the configured LDAP servers.

The task comes with several options, as can be seen in the Scheduler module:

	Configuration options for the Scheduler task

The options are the following:

- **Mode:** Choose to import LDAP users who are not yet available in TYPO3 or
  only synchronize existing TYPO3 users with changes from LDAP.

  .. note::

      This setting will be used for corresponding user groups as well.

- **Context:** Choose to import only frontend users, backend users or both.

- **Configuration:** Choose which configuration to use, or choose "All" to
  automate import of users from all available configurations.

  .. tip::

     Disabled configurations are not considered during automation.

- **Handling of missing users:** What to do with users which are not found on
  the LDAP server anymore. They can be deleted, disabled or left as is.

- **Handling of restored users:** If user has been deleted or disabled locally,
  it may be automatically restored upon import. Each user may be either
  un-deleted, re-enabled or both. It can be also left as is by choosing to do
  nothing.
