4.2.2Groups

A group consists of users who share a common attribute or are part of a list. Directory Server supports three types of groups: static, dynamic, and certificate. Each group differs by the way in which users, or members, are added to it:

static group

A static group has members who are manually added to it, so it is

 

static because the members do not change unless an administrator

 

manually adds or removes users.

dynamic group

A dynamic group automatically includes users based on one or more

 

attributes in their entries; the attributes and values are determined

 

using LDAP URLs. For example, a dynamic group can use an LDAP

 

filter which searches for entries which contain the attributes and

 

values st=California and department=sales. As entries are

 

added to the directory with those two attributes, the users are

 

automatically added as members to the dynamic group. If those

 

attributes are removed from the entry, the entry is removed from the

 

group.

certificate group

A certificate group includes all users who have a specific

 

attribute-value pair in the subject name of the certificate. For example,

 

the certificate group could be based on having the string

 

st=California,ou=Sales,ou=West in the subject name. If a

 

user logs onto a server using a certificate with those attributes in his

 

certificate, the user is automatically added to the group and is granted

 

all the access privileges of that group.

To create a group:
