LDAP-UX Client Services B.04.15 Administrator's Guide

4.2.2 Changing an HP-UX POSIX Static Group to a Dynamic Group
To change an HP-UX POSIX static group to an HP-UX POSIX dynamic group, use the Directory
Server Console to add the following objectclass and attribute information to the HP-UX POSIX
static group:
• groupofurls objectclass
• memberURL attribute
For detailed information on how to use the Directory Server Console to modify a group, refer to
Red Hat Directory Server Administrator's Guide available at the following web site:
http://docs.hp.com/en/internet.html
The following shows an example of an HP-UX POSIX static group entry:
dn: cn=all,ou=groups,dc=example,dc=hp,dc=com
objectClass: groupofuniquenames objectClass: groupofnames objectClass:
posixgroup objectClass: top cn: all gidNumber: 1000 memberuid: user1
After you add information for groupofurls and memberURL to the above HP-UX POSIX static
group entry, the HP-UX POSIX dynamic group entry is as follows:
dn: cn=all,ou=groups,dc=example,dc=hp,dc=com
objectClass: groupofuniquenames
objectClass: groupofnames
objectClass: groupofurls
objectClass: posixgroup
objectClass: top
cn: all
memberURL: ldap:///dc=example,dc=hp,dc=com??sub?(l=California)
gidNumber: 1000
memberuid: user1
Now, the group “all” contains both static group member (i.e. user1) and dynamic members
(i.e. all user entries which can be retrieved from the tree of dc=example,dc=hp,dc=com and
have an attribute with l=California).
