orblm (orblm) asked a question.
Is it possible to automate or schedule the Force Sync option?
We have an application that utilises the manager attribute. We've discovered that changes to the manager attribute in Active Directory (AD) don't trigger a sync back to Okta. To update the attribute for the app, we had to force sync the AD directory integration and then force sync from the app.
This means that if we want to keep the manager attribute up to date, it requires manually performing 2 sync on a regular basis.
Is there any way that this can be scheduled or automated so that both syncs can take place without user interaction?
Hi @orblm (orblm) , Thank you for reaching out to the Okta Community!
Yes, it might have something to do with the expression. Please note the following:
