- Click Save to save the new group members to your directory.
Completing the Extensions Tab
You can use the Extensions tab to specify the optional Dynamic Group extension
(a group that determines membership at any given moment using a set of LDAP search filters) to the In Use list.Figure 4-17 Group Extensions Tab

- If you add the Dynamic Group extension, Directory Editor adds the Default Dynamic Group Form tab to the Create Page.
Figure 4-18 Default Dynamic Group Form Tab
You can use this tab to add, edit, or remove LDAP search filters.
A dynamic group uses a set of LDAP search filters to determine membership in the group at any given moment. A dynamic group object consists of the groupOfURLs object class, a name (cn), and a multi-valued attribute (memberURL) containing all of the LDAP URLs that specify the search criteria.
These LDAP URLs contain information about which directory server to search, the scope of the search, the base context of the search, which attributes to return for the search, and the search filter.
For example, you might specify a dynamic group called Contractors, where the membership is determined by the employeeType equaling Contractors. For this example, the LDAP URL might be:
ldap://example.sun.com:389/ou=People,dc=sun,dc=com??sub?(
employeeType=Contractors)Dynamic groups are often used to control access to applications and other data in the directory.
Instructions for adding, editing, and removing filters are provided in the following sections:
- When you are finished with the Extensions tab, you can
Adding Filters
To add a filter for the dynamic group,
- Select the Default Dynamic Group Form tab.
- Click Add Filter and use the Advanced Search or Filtered Search tabs to configure a search filter.
