Environment


Cloud Access 2.2.x

Situation

Active user count not increasing after customer added a search context of a dc high in the forrest of their AD environment.  Example:
DC=CORP,DC=COMPANY,DC=COM

When looking at Cloud Access Main page (Admin) in top right there is a users count and under that is an active count.
The users count is the total number of users found under the context's defined on the defined Active Directory Server.
The active count is the total number of users that have been "provisioned/synced" over to cloud Access Server's internal eDirectory Store.

In this case there was a high number of users that were under the defined context ~60k, but the active count wasn't climbing, even after sitting for a day.




Resolution

Reported to engineering =

As a workaround lower ou's seem to work fine such as:
ou=users,DC=CORP,DC=COMPANY,DC=COM
So this will require adding container/'s under the lowest dc, so if there  are 10 containers directly under the dc, would need to add all 10 to the search context.

Cause

Still investigating
