ADUserOrGroup_Refresh

Refresh and return the given user or group with current general information from Active Directory (including name, phone, email, user name, and default Windows domain) for any entitled or admin user or group stored in LDAP FSPs. This information is cached by the broker, both locally and globally if Multi-DataCenter View is enabled. The latter will only be refreshed if permissions exist to modify global data. If the given user or group's domain is one-way trusted, the refresh for that user may occur asynchronously when that user next logs in. In those cases, the returned value will be null.

Privileges

Privilege Description
FEDERATED_LDAP_MANAGE Global LDAP management is required to update the user or group in global LDAP in addition to local LDAP.

Parameters

NameTypeDescription
_thisManagedObjectReference A reference to the ADUserOrGroup used to make the method call.
idUserOrGroupId

UserOrGroupId of entities to refresh.

Return Value

Type Description
ADUserOrGroupSummaryViewThe refreshed summary view of the user or group.

Faults

EntityNotFoundThrown if any specified entity cannot be found.
InsufficientPermissionThrown if the user does not have sufficient permission to perform the operation.

ADUserOrGroup_RefreshUsersOrGroups

If the given user or group's domain is one-way trusted, the refresh for that user may occur asynchronously when that user next logs in. In those cases, the returned value will be null.
If this method is invoked with null argument, it refreshes the FSP entries from local LDAP. In this case, refresh for the user will occur asynchronously when the user next logs in. So, the returned value will be null.
