Question


How often does CIE (Cloud Identity Engine) synchronize?



Environment


  • Cloud Identity Engine (CIE)
  • Directory Synchronization


Answer


  1. By default, the Cloud Identity Engine syncs changes for most attributes every five minutes unless a sync is already in progress. 
  2. Refer: Synchronize Directory Changes.


Additional Information


By default, the Cloud Identity Engine syncs changes every five minutes. If you want to instantly sync your directory updates, you can sync just the changes to your Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) , which is much faster than a full sync of your directory.

CIE syncs the information about only those groups that are found in the configuration.
