Mirror LDAP Accounts as Local Users
To provide local account access for the Spam Quarantine feature, you can mirror the LDAP
accounts which creates a local account on ePrism for each user imported. This provides a simple
method for allowing directory-based users to log in to the ePrism to view quarantined messages if
you have enabled the Spam Quarantine feature.
Note: These local mirror accounts cannot be used as local mail accounts. They can only be
used for the Spam Quarantine.
See “Spam Quarantine” on page 136 for more information on configuring the user-based Spam
Quarantine.
To create mirrored LDAP users:
1. Select the Mirror accounts option.
2. Choose an Expiry period for the mirrored accounts. If the user no longer exists in the LDAP
directory for the specified period of time, the local mirrored account will be deleted. Note that
this only applies to a local mirrored account, not accounts used for the Reject on Unknown
Recipients feature.
Click Apply to save the settings. Click Import Now to immediately begin the import of users and
create mirrored accounts.
View the progress of LDAP imports via Status/Reporting -> System Logs -> Messages.
Mirrored accounts can be viewed via User Accounts -> Mirrored Accounts on the menu.
