Manage connections

Last updated December 6th, 2023

Navigate to Setting > Identity & Directory > Connection, and on the Connection page, click Manage Sync Exception to view all the list of users, organizations and groups that are excluded from the connection in the Manage Sync Exception window.

The sync exceptions list is sorted and managed according to the Exception Type.

Exception type Description
Deleted (EMM) Targets deleted manually by the administrator
Deleted (Source) Targets deleted from the directory server and, therefore, also deleted in Knox Manage.
Deleted (Synchronized Group) Target groups deleted from the directory server and, therefore, also deleted in Knox Manage.
Duplicated A user, group, or organization with the same ID existing in Knox Manage.
Rejected A group or organization specifically excluded from synchronization in Knox Manage, because AD/LDAP Sync is not selected under Group or Organization.
Inappropriate Targets whose registered information in the directory server is not appropriate for Knox Manage’s architecture.
