LDAP-UX Client Services B.04.10 with Microsoft Windows Active Directory Server Administrator's Guide

LDAP-UX retrieves group members and processes groups that a specific user belongs to by
looking into all configured attributes.
An LDAP query group specifies dynamic members using a search filter. LDAP-UX uses the
search base and search scope of the passwd service from the profile, and combines the search
filter of the passwd service from the profile with the search filter specified by
msDS-AzLDAPQuery to retrieve group members. This is to make sure that group members
returned are POSIX accounts and meet the configuration set for LDAP-UX.
Examples
The following is an example of the output of /opt/ldapux/config/display_profile_cache
to show passwd service configuration:
PASSWD Service Configuratio
Attribute: is mapped to:
---------- --------------

Search Descriptor
-----------------
search[0]: dc=example,dc=hp,dc=com?sub?
(&(objectclass=user)(uidnumber=*))
The sample group entry is:
dn: CN=group1,CN=AzGroupObjectContainer-dyngroup,CN=dyngroup,
DC=hp,DC=com
objectClass: top
objectClass: group
cn: group1

objectCategory: CN=Group,CN=Schema,CN=Configuration,DC=hp,

msDS-AzLDAPQuery: (cn=p*)
To return dynamic members, LDAP-UX searches the tree dc=hp,dc=com, and finds the POSIX
entries whose cn starts with p* (i.e. using the search filter
"(&(objectclass=user)(uidNumber=*)(cn=p*))" ).
Group Attribute Mappings
To enable the dynamic group feature support, you must run the setup program to remap the
default group attribute, memberuid, to the dynamic group attribute, msDS-AzLDAPQuery. If
msDS-AzLDAPQuery is not mapped to memberUid, LDAP-UX will not process dynamic groups.
