3.8 MemberOf plug-in attributes

Group membership is defined within group entries using an attribute such as member. Searching for the member attribute makes it easy to list all the members for the group. However, group membership is not reflected in the member's user entry, so it is impossible to tell to what groups a person belongs by looking at the user's entry.

The MemberOf Plug-in synchronizes the group membership in group members with the members' individual directory entries by identifying changes to a specific attribute (such as member) in the group entry, then carrying those changes over to a specific attribute in the entries for the members.

3.8.1 memberofattr

This attribute specifies the attribute in the user entry for the Directory Server to manage to reflect group membership. The MemberOf Plug-in generates the value of the attribute specified here in the directory entry for the member. There is a separate attribute for every group to which the user belongs.

Parameter	Description
Entry DN	cn=MemberOf Plugin, cn=plugins, cn=config
Valid Range	Any Directory Server attribute
Default Value	memberOf
Syntax	DirectoryString
Example	memberofattr: memberOf

3.8.2 memberofgroupattr

This attribute specifies the attribute in the group entry to use to identify the DNs of group members. By default, this is the member attribute, but it can be any membership-related attribute, such as uniquemember or member.
