Chapter 5. Managing Entries with Roles, Class of Service, and Views

NOTE

If a user has an entry on a remote Directory Server (for example, in a chained database), different from the Directory Server which has the entry that defines the static group, then use the Referential Integrity plug-in to ensure that deleted user entries are automatically deleted from the static group, but there are some performance and access control considerations. For more information about using referential integrity with chaining, refer to Section 3.1, “Configuring the Chaining Policy”.
