Few configuration settings can only be set on command line via ``occ``.

Attribute update interval
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Background sync interval
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The LDAP backend will update user information that is used within Nextcloud
with the values provided by the LDAP server. For instance these are email,
quota or the avatar. This happens on every login, the first detection of a user
from LDAP and regularly by a background job.
The LDAP backend updates user attributes (email, quota, avatar, and others) on
every login, on first detection of a new user, and periodically via a background
job.

The interval value determines the time between updates of the values and is
used to avoid frequent overhead, including time-expensive write actions to
the database.

The interval is described in seconds and it defaults to 86400 equalling a day.
It is not a per-configuration option.

The value can be modified by::

sudo -E -u www-data php occ config:app:set user_ldap updateAttributesInterval --value=86400

A value of 0 will update it on every of the named occasions.
The background job recalculates its run interval after each cycle. The goal is
to process every known LDAP user approximately once per day. The interval is
derived from the total number of mapped users and the smallest configured LDAP
paging size, then clamped to a minimum of 30 minutes and a maximum of 12 hours.
