This article will help you get started using Directory Connector to sync users and groups from your OneLogin directory to your Bitwarden organization.

  2. Select the New Credential button and give your credential a Bitwarden-specific name (for example, bitwarden-dc).

  3. Select the Read Users radio button to give read permission for user fields, roles, and groups, and select Save.

  4. Copy the generated Client ID and Client Secret. You may return to view these at any time.

Connect to your directory

Complete the following steps to configure Directory Connector to use your OneLogin directory:

  1. Open the Directory Connector desktop app.

  2. Navigate to the Settings tab.

  3. From the Type dropdown, select OneLogin.

    The available fields in this section will change according to your selected type.

  4. Enter the Client ID and Client Secret obtained from OneLogin.

  5. From the Region dropdown, select your region.

Configure sync options

tip

When you're finished configuring, navigate to the More tab and select the Clear Sync Cache button to prevent potential conflicts with prior sync operations. For more information, see Clear Sync Cache.

Complete the following steps to configure the settings used when syncing using Directory Connector:

  1. Open the Directory Connector desktop application.

  2. Navigate to the Settings tab.

  3. In the Sync section, configure the following options as desired:

Specify sync filters

Use comma-separated lists to include or exclude from a sync based on user email or group.

note

Directory Connector will create Bitwarden groups based on OneLogin Roles, not OneLogin Groups.

User filters

To include or exclude specific users from a sync based on email address:

Bash
include:joe@example.com,bill@example.com,tom@example.com
Bash
exclude:joe@example.com,bill@example.com,tom@example.com

Group filters

note

Syncing nested groups is not supported by OneLogin.

To include or exclude groups from a sync based on OneLogin roles:

Bash
include:Role A,Role B
Bash
exclude:Role A,Role B

Test a sync

tip

Before testing or executing a sync, check that Directory Connector is connected to the right cloud server (e.g. US or EU) or self-hosted server. Learn how to do so with the desktop app or CLI.

To test whether Directory Connector will successfully connect to your directory and return the desired users and groups, navigate to the Dashboard tab and select the Test Now button. If successful, users and groups will be printed to the Directory Connector window according to specified sync options and filters:

Test sync results
Test sync results

Start automatic sync

Once sync options and filters are configured as desired, you can begin syncing. Complete the following steps to start automatic sync with Directory Connector:

  1. Open the Directory Connector desktop app.

  2. Navigate to the Dashboard tab.

  3. In the Sync section, select the Start Sync button.

    You may alternatively select the Sync Now button to execute a one-time manual sync.

Directory Connector will begin polling your directory based on the configured sync options and filters.

If you exit or close the application, automatic sync will stop. To keep Directory Connector running in the background, minimize the application or hide it to the system tray.

note

If you're on the Teams Starter plan, you are limited to 10 members. Directory Connector will display an error and stop syncing if you try to sync more than 10 members.

This plan is no longer available for purchase. This error does not apply to Teams plans.
