User Metadata

The metadata for each user (name, email, and so forth) is pulled from LDAP and refreshed in the Code Insight database at a regular frequency via a scheduler module running within Code Insight. The data synchronization is a one-way pull from LDAP into the Code Insight database. This action overwrites the existing data in the database. User data for those users that do not exist in LDAP is not affected by this process.

The LDAP passwords for users are not stored the Code Insight database. All user authentication occurs on the LDAP server once a user enters a user name and password to access Code Insight.
