Active Directory container structures

Containers are represented by a hierarchical tree structure. The containers that already exist can be loaded from the Active Directory environment into the One Identity Manager database by synchronization. System containers, which are entered into the One Identity Manager database are labeled correspondingly. These are only taken into account in the synchronization when the relevant configuration option is set.
