Okay thanks for that. I have written an LDAPAuthentication module that does do the mapping to group by LDAP field and we have been using it for some years.
When I saw the group feature and (misunderstood its workings) I thought great! Every time a new version of DSpace comes out I have to step through the new LDAP code and merge my code into the new changes in the LDAPAuthenictation module which is time consuming and never works the first time. I have in the past sent the code to the DSpace development group but I understand there is a lot going on and it was forgotten. If anyone in the development team is interested I would be glad to supply the code again and hopefully they would include it in future releases and save me this regular task.
