# Disable IDS on MiCollab

If you disable IDS, periodic database synchronization with the directory server is disabled. However, the deferred operation queue will remain as it was at the moment you disabled IDS. If there were any operations in the deferred queue, the system will allow you to process them. No new IDS operations are added to the queue. If authentication was being used, it will be disabled and you will be required to reset the passwords for all users that were paired with directory service entries. The state of the IDS Managed flags are maintained after you disable IDS.

To disable IDS on MiCollab :

1. Under Configuration, click Integrated Directory Service.

2. Click Remove next to the domain of the directory server.

3. Click Save. If Active Directory Authentication was supported for the domain, you are prompted to enter a replacement password for the users.

4. Enter and confirm the password and then click Save. A Welcome E-mail which includes the replacement password is sent to the select users.

Later, if you enable IDS on MiCollab again, the deferred operation queue is emptied of IDS operations and a full synchronization occurs.
