(Legacy) KB20141107-1 Export configuration settings for Suspend and Undo Suspend rules

Published: July 15, 2014

Published:Published:  Aug 12, 2018

Applies to: Cayosoft Suspend 1.x or later, Cayosoft Administrator 4.x or later

Summary: When running Cayosoft Suspend or Undo Suspend operations you can easily customize settings required for your organization: define what attributes need to be cleared or changed, if account needs to be disabled or hidden from GAL and many others.

Having configured these settings in Suspend Tool once you most likely want to use the same settings in other places such as Cayosoft Administrator Suspend rules and Web Interface actions. It easily can be done by exporting the Suspend settings to a file and then using this file in the Suspend rules and actions.
