Hi,

 

Yesterday suddenly many users in our production instance got inactive and locked-out. It shows the records were updated by system.

We tried a lot but could not trace any script which might have caused it. But during that period we also got a lot of logs with below message:

ExternalAuth: provider_user_map is de-activated for user:<sys_id>.

 

Please help me with this.What does this message denote. What might have gone wrong?

 

Thanks

Chandra

Hi,

Are you using LDAP to sync users OR using SSO for the sign?

We use LDAP to sync users

So possibly they got inactivated because of LDAP sync which must be running based on your listen interval

But none of the users were inactive in AD?
