LDAP Group Sync issue

[spanchy]

Description:

When LDAP groups are synchronized and "automatic removal of users from channels" set to "true", existing users in channels are deleted and added again + new employees. And so constantly, in a circle, every synchronization. User roles are working correctly!

Steps to reproduce:

1. go to settings LDAP > Sync and enable ldap group sync
2. Click set automatic removal of users from channels are synchronized to True
3. and see any channel for logs: User left channel and User joined to channel.

Additional context

I am also running into this issue. Every time the cron job kicks off to sync the user accounts, every room is flooded with dozens of users entering and leaving the channel. Can these notifications be disabled when the process is run in the background?

Or as a work around disable joining and leaving notifications altogether?

Yes, you can disable this message in settings. Message -> Hide System message, and select what you want to hide.

I wrote to support by email, and they replied that they would pass the information to the developers, but they haven't fixed it yet.

This issue has been automatically marked as stale because it has not had recent activity. It will be closed if no further activity occurs. Thank you for your contributions.

This issue still exists. It does persist only when a LDAP Group is synced to multiple channels. I have hidden the system messages, but the channel gets an unread count every sync because of these messages.

I also noticed that the notifications aren't working as it should with such a mixed channel:

On iOS mobile app

• when clicking notification, the right discussion isn't opened (this does work with normal groups/channels)
• the channel isn't on top, last activity is correct but it isn't sorted right

People were missing the messages in this mixed LDAP group channel, so I decided to only map one-on-one and create a manual channel with the people which I need to have together from multiple LDAP channels.

We have the same problem, please take a look @MartinSchoeler

I can reproduce the message by hitting the Sync Button in the LDAP Configuration (GO: LDAP > Sync / Import > "Execute Synchronization Now"):

The list adds up every 10 Minutes as I do a Sync every 10 Minutes!

This is still an issue.

I guess it comes because two or more LDAP groups with one or more users each are synced into one channel.

Still an issue in 3.18.0-develop and 3.17.0
