    Important

    If token expiry is set for an amount of time, then after expiry a new token needs to be generated. The Token is used in AD Importer and REST API calls to download events, which will stop working on token expiry until new token details has been generated and updated in AD Importer and REST API configurations.

  5. Download the Directory Importer tool from the Netskope tenant. Go to Settings > Tools > Directory Tools and on the On-Prem Integration tab click Download Tools.

    Also copy the Addon URL, which is required to configure the Directory Importer.
