Is there any solution to replicate multiple Active Directories to the one as a Proxy Active Directory?

We have multiple Active Directories in our company, such as :
finance-dc1.company.com
finance-dc2.company.com
sale-dc1.company.com
sale-dc2.company.com
development-dc1.company.com
development-dc2.company.com
...
Our development team want to authenticate (bind) and search users against one AD and not multiple ADs, so is there any solution to have a replica of all ADs into one AD (e.g: proxy-dc.company.com)?

memberOf attribute in Active Directory does not contain all user groups

I have made an application, where I want to bring all the user accounts and their memberships in the Active Directory Environment. I came to know that a user in Active Directory has memberOf attribute which stores the distinguishedName of the groups of which a user is a member.
However, when I checked out and found the memberOf isn't all the groups of which user is a member of. For example, it only contains few distinguishedName of the groups in other domain of same forest.
Am I missing something ? Is there some configuration which has to be done on Active Directory.
Please note, I am using Java JNDI for bringing the users form the active directory.

Rundeck ACL based on AD groups

I am going to use Rundeck in production.
While reading docs, I found that users management is based on local ACL files.
And AD authentication is available.
My question is: Is it possible to manage users access to Jobs and Nodes by AD groups?
Fox example:
AD groups: rundeck_restrat_svcName1, rundeck_restrat_svcName2, ect..
Thanks for any information.
Yes.. You can do that.
1, Create a jaas configuration file for AD, say jaas-AD.conf at /etc/rundeck folder like this
2, Modify the profile file's two lines.
export RDECK_JVM="-Djava.security.auth.login.config=/etc/rundeck/jaas-AD.conf
-Dloginmodule.name=activedirectory
3,In AD create a new group, say rundeck_users and create an .aclpolicy file to set the ACL. There you have to use group as rundeck_users. You can create .aclpolicy file yml frame by rd-acl binary

UnboundID LDAP: memberOf filter not synchronising users

Apologies for the newbie question, fairly new to LDAP and UnboundID.
I currently have an UnboundID filter that synchronises users who belong to an Active Directory group.
--set include-base-dn:cn=Users,dc=testdomain,dc=net --add "include-filter:(memberOf=CN=Application Access,CN=Users,DC=testdomain,DC=net)
The behaviour I am seeing is that when I add a user to the group "Application Access", no Synchronisation occurs.
However if I edit the users AD profile whilst they are a memberOf "Application Access" then the user profile is synchronised.
Is is possible to synchronise users when they join a group?
Thanks in advance.
In Microsoft Active Directory the MemberOf value is the DN of an entry that the current entry is a member in a Group and is referred to as a Forward Reference.
A Pseudo Attribute Microsoft Active Directory
MemberOf is a Pseudo Attribute. This implies You can not monitor the MemberOf attribute for changes (Like with DirXML)
Within Microsoft Active Directory MemberOf is flagged as "NO-USER-MODIFICATION" (or System-Only)[1]; This means you can NOT update the attribute. In order to add a user to a group you have to write the user's dn to the member attribute on the group object.

Top level Active directory path?

I need to iterate programatically through all items in a specific OU in an active directory tree (C#). For that I have a configuration that specifies which OU to iterate. This works ok.
However my client now wants to iterate through all items in the AD tree. How could I specify a path which contains all OUs in the AD tree so that my application will iterate through all of them?
Thanks!
You can specify only domain components. E.g.: LDAP://DC=Fabrikam,DC=COM
