Groups can be nested, where one group is defined as a child group entry whose DN is listed within another group, its parent. The nesting of groups allows you to set up inherited group memberships when performance is not a priority. You can add zero or more member attributes with their values set to the DNs of nested child groups, including both static and dynamic groups.
This example procedure creates a nested group using one static group and one dynamic group.
This example file, static-group.ldif, specifies a virtual static group named Dev Contractors.
dn: cn=Contractors,ou=Groups,dc=example,dc=com cn: Dev Contractors objectclass: top objectclass: groupOfUniqueNames ou: Dev Contractors Static Group uniquemember: uid=wsmith,ou=Contractors,dc=example,dc=com uniquemember: uid=jstearn,ou=Contractors,dc=example,dc=com uniquemember: uid=pbrook,ou=Contractors,dc=example,dc=com uniquemember: uid=njohnson,ou=Contractors,dc=example,dc=com uniquemember: uid=sjones,ou=Contractors,dc=example,dc=com
$ ldapmodify -h localhost -p 1389 -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w password \ --defaultAdd --filename static-group.ldif
This example file, dynamic-group.ldif, specifies a dynamic group named Developers.
dn: cn=Developers,ou=Groups,dc=example,dc=com cn: Developers objectclass: top objectclass: groupOfURLs ou: Groups memberURL: ldap:///ou=People,dc=example,dc=com??sub?(ou=Product Development)
$ ldapmodify -h localhost -p 1389 -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w password \ --defaultAdd --filename dynamic-group.ldif
This example file, nested-group.ldif, specifies a nested group named Developers Group.
dn: cn=DevelopersGroup,ou=Groups,dc=example,dc=com cn: Developers Group objectclass: top objectclass: groupOfUniqueNames ou: Nested Static Group uniquemember: cn=Contractors,ou=Groups,dc=example,dc=com uniquemember: cn=Developers,ou=Groups,dc=example,dc=com
$ ldapmodify -h localhost -p 1389 -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w password \ --defaultAdd --filename nested-group.ldif
