Group naming in external authentication services
Groups in Active Directory (AD) external authentication services are specified using a
combination of their Active Directory folder and group name, minus the group container
specified in the DSView software.
The group container defaults to the AD domain root if it is unspecified.
For example, if you have an AD external authentication service for the
“sw.eng.mydomain.com” domain with no group container specified, the “Domain Users” group
in the “sw.eng.mydomain.com/Users” folder will have a DSView software equivalent of
“Users/Domain Users”.
Using the same example, but with a group container of “Users”, the DSView software
equivalent is “Domain Users”.
Using the same example, but with a group container of “mydomain.com”, the DSView software
equivalent is “eng/sw/Users/Domain Users”.
Groups in LDAP external authentication services are specified using a modified
distinguishedName of their LDAP object, minus the group base DN specified in the DSView
software.
For example, if you have an LDAP external authentication service with a group base DN of
“ou=myldap,c=US”, the “cn=Admin Users,ou=Users,o=myldap,c=US” group will have a
DSView software equivalent of “Admin Users”.
Using the same example, but with the “cn=Admin Users,c=Sunrise,ou=Users,o=myldap,c=US”
group, the DSView software equivalent is “Sunrise/Admin Users”.
