but the log shows they are updated daily? why is conlfuence pulling them in on a daily basis or renew/update the users..

Hi Ashok,

For certain directory types, Confluence stores a cache of directory information (users and groups) in the application database, to ensure fast recurrent access to user and group data. A synchronization task runs periodically to update the internal cache with changes from the external directory.

Please see Synchronizing Data from External Directories for more details about how this works.

Thanks,

Ann

Hi Worley,

Thanks for quick response,

Please let me know if it's better to do it manually as this is polluting our audit logs.

This means Configuring the Synchronization Interval to manually.

TIA..

Do you have confluence linked with your active directory?
