UnitySync is able to Discover (read) Users and Groups from your Simple AD directory. Data discovered from Simple AD can be written to any Destination LDAP directory or Office 365 (O365) directory, exported to CSV or written to almost any database.

UnitySync is also able to Sync (write) to Simple AD creating contacts. You can discover any supported source type (LDAP directory/CSV/ODBC) and write to your Simple AD, creating contacts.

Syncing with AWS Simple AD can use the same templates as Active Directory in v2.4. As of v2.5, templates specific AWS Simple AD are available.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If using a version of UnitySync previous to v2.5, be sure to select active-dir templates that are NOT mail enabled. Using active-dir templates has not been tested in versions prior to v2.4.
