Matthias,

If you don't already have a GUI for looking at the LDAP structure, I
suggest that you install one - then you will easily be able to browse
through the schema. Luma is the nicest LDAP GUI that I have been able to
find.

When I look at the sambaGroupMapping in the schema area in luma, I see
the 'allowed attributes' -
description
displayName
sambaSIDList

Maybe you can use one of the first 2 to store your link string.

Regards,
David Collins
