It's also possible to do this in the reverse direction. I.e., normal static groups that will populate memberOf in the user entry. To do this, you have to hack the dyngroup schema, changing groupOfURLs from STRUCTURAL to AUXILIARY. In the slapd config, the dynlist config looks like: dynlist-attrset groupOfUrls memberURL memberOf Then we can create some groups: root@u16test:/opt/symas/etc/openldap# /opt/symas/bin/ldapsearch -x -LLL -H ldap:/// -D dc=example,dc=com -w secret -b dc=example,dc=com "cn=testgroup" dn: cn=testgroup,ou=Group,dc=example,dc=com objectClass: groupOfNames cn: testgroup member: cn=Marice McCaugherty,ou=Product Testing,dc=example,dc=com root@u16test:/opt/symas/etc/openldap# /opt/symas/bin/ldapsearch -x -LLL -H ldap:/// -D dc=example,dc=com -w secret -b dc=example,dc=com "cn=alttestgroup" dn: cn=alttestgroup,ou=Group,dc=example,dc=com objectClass: groupOfNames cn: alttestgroup member: cn=Marice McCaugherty,ou=Product Testing,dc=example,dc=com The user entry looks like: root@u16test:/opt/symas/etc/openldap# /opt/symas/bin/ldapsearch -x -LLL -H ldap:/// -D dc=example,dc=com -w secret -b dc=example,dc=com "cn=Marice McCaugherty" objectClass memberOf memberURL dn: cn=Marice McCaugherty,ou=Product Testing,dc=example,dc=com objectClass: top objectClass: person objectClass: organizationalPerson objectClass: inetOrgPerson objectClass: groupOfURLs memberURL: ldap:///dc=example,dc=com??sub?(member=cn=Marice McCaugherty,ou=Pro duct Testing,dc=example,dc=com) memberOf: cn=testgroup,ou=Group,dc=example,dc=com memberOf: cn=alttestgroup,ou=Group,dc=example,dc=com Doing it this way means that people currently using memberOf wouldn't need to change how group management is done. --Quanah -- Quanah Gibson-Mount Product Architect Symas Corporation Packaged, certified, and supported LDAP solutions powered by OpenLDAP: <http://www.symas.com>
