Purge Inactive LDAP Users – Job Type

With Cloudhouse Guardian (Guardian), you can schedule an automatic purge job of any inactive LDAP users to run according to a specified schedule. This job type queries the list of LDAP users and, if the associated LDAP username no longer exists on the LDAP server, removes the record from Guardian's internal database.
