Click Test Connection to verify that you have specified the required information correctly.
Click OK to save the LDAP directory information and add the LDAP directory to the list of LDAP directories.
Click Close to close the list and return to the main Admin console window.
Continue with Importing Users.
To import users into GroupWise:
In the GroupWise Admin console, click System > User Import.
Select the post office to import the users into.
Click Preview to list the users to import.
(Conditional) If there are individual users that you do not want to import, delete them from the list.
(Conditional) If the list is too long, use the Context and LDAP Filter fields to restrict the list, and then click Update Preview.
You can click Help for more information about the fields.
When the list contains the correct set of users, click Import Users to perform the import.
Click Close.
To see that the users have been imported, click Users.
