Issue

  • Is there a way to automatically remove users from Liferay who are no longer in LDAP?

Environment

  • Liferay DXP 7.1

Resolution

  • There's no automated process to do this out of the box. However, a feature request for the same has already been submitted and can be tracked here LPS-69061
  • The obviously slow way would be to delete the users manually in the control panel, but one other option is to write a groovy script leveraging Liferay API to delete the desired users. 
  • Because this isn't a bug, the actual groovy script can't be provided in this case, so users could perhaps evaluate according to their requirements.
