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

Name	Type	Description
_this	ManagedObjectReference	A reference to the ADUserOrGroup used to make the method call.
id	UserOrGroupId	UserOrGroupId of entities to refresh.

Return Value

Type	Description
ADUserOrGroupSummaryView	The refreshed summary view of the user or group.

Faults

Type	Description
EntityNotFound	Thrown if any specified entity cannot be found.
InsufficientPermission	Thrown if the user does not have sufficient permission to perform the operation.
InvalidArgument	Thrown if any specified argument is invalid.
InvalidType	Thrown if the type of any specified argument is invalid.
UnexpectedFault	Thrown if an unexpected error occurs while performing the operation.

ADUserOrGroup_RefreshUsersOrGroups

Refreshes the given users and/or groups 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.
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.
