Note: To keep LDAP and IMAP synchronized you should not edit project information with another tool except the JXplorer plugin. The JXplorer plugin will synchronize IMAP and LDAP for a project whenever it is saved. To synchronize all project data you can use the create ACL tool, see UsePhpLDAPAdminForOps for instructions.
