I am posting this to the UMICH ldap list, for I think this
is more general list vs. posting it to openldap list. Apologies
if I am posting this to the wrong list.

I am looking into if it is better to use an attribute or
a group (groupofuniqnames) for maintaining a list of people
in a certain group. If I have a group, say projectaccess,
and I want to put maybe 2000 users in that group. Would it
be better to have

dn:uid=userA,dc=xyz,dc=com
cn:UserA Doe
...
projectaccess=1

dn:uid=userB,dc=xyz,dc=com
cn:UserB Smith
...
projectaccess=1

dn:uid=userC,dc=xyz,dc=com
cn:UserC Jones
...
projectaccess=0

Or:

ou=Groups,dc=xyz,dc=com
ou: Groups
objectClass: organizationalUnit

dn:cn=projectaccess,dc=xyz,dc=com
objectClass:groupofUniqnames
objectClass:posixGroup
uid=userA,dc=xyz,dc=com
uid=userB,dc=xyz,dc=com
cn:projectaccess


What are the pros/cons of the two ways listed above from
the point of ldap (we use openldap) handling them to looking
at it pragmatically (programming code). Thanks!
