What does "also belong to" mean? The user entry uid=gnarea,ou=directors,dc=example,dc=org being a member of a group entry? Note that groups are independent from AD's ou-structure. Regarding the ou-structure gnarea is simply in ou=directors,dc=example,dc=org. > I'm looking for something that if I give the > "uid=gnarea,ou=directors,dc=example,dc=org" DN, it returns a tuple/list made > up of the items: 'directors', 'sysadmins' and 'betatesters'. I don't know how your entries ou=sysadmins,dc=example,dc=org and ou=betatesters,dc=example,dc=org look like. > I need this because I'm using group-based authentication in my application. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Authorization I guess. Please make yourself familiar with group entries and how they differ from ou entries (which are probably not what you want).
