Temporarily disable the "Delete" functionality of LDAP Sync component on the Symantec VIP Enterprise Gateway

By default, the Delete option of LDAP Sync cannot be disabled. This prevents an accumulation of users no longer in your directory. This can temporarily be disabled by modifying the ldapsync.conf file located in: <EG HOME> \ Symantec \ VIP_Enterprise_Gateway \ LdapSync \ services \ ldapsync \ conf \ ldapsync.conf.

Open the file in notepad and change the line ldapsync.taskDelete = delete to ldapsync.taskDelete = 

Restart the LDAP Sync service.

Caution: Disabling this feature will prevent LDAP sync from deleting users during the sync process. It is not recommended as a permanent solution.
