Creating an identity group

Multiple identities with the same properties can be grouped in an identity-group. The identity-group can be configured exactly in the same way and with the same parameters as an identity. An identity-group can only inherit configurations to identities, but they never play an active role.

The special identity-group “default” inherits parameters to identities which are unknown or not configured. Even dynamically created identities from registration inbound inherits from the identity-group “default”. Con- figured identities do not inherit from the identity-group “default” unless is it explicitly configured to do so.

Mode: Location Service

Step	Command	Purpose
1	[node](ls)[name]# [no] identity-group	Adds a new identity-group to the location service.
	<name>	The no form of the command removes an existing
		identity-group.

Inheriting from an identity group to an identity

An identity only inherits parameters from an identity-group if the parameters are not configured in the identity itself. Some commands allow the identity to explicitly disable some configurations that were otherwise inher- ited.

Mode: Location Service

Step Command Purpose

1[node](ls)[name]#identity <name> inherit- Configures the identity to inherit parameters which

		ance <identity-group>	are not configured from the identity-group.
Mode: Location Service
	Step	Command	Purpose
1	[node](ls)[name]#identity-group <name>	Configures the identity-group to inherit parameters
		inheritance <identity-group>	which are not configured from another identity-
			group.
Mode: Location Service
	Step	Command	Purpose
1	[node](ls)[name]#identity <name> no-	Configures the identity to not inherit parameters
		inheritance	from the identity-group.
