Static Groups
The Administration Server enables you to create a static group by specifying the
same group attribute in the DNs of any number of users. A static group doesn’t
change unless you add a user to it or delete a user from it.
Guidelines for Creating Static Groups
Consider the following guidelines when using the Administration Server forms to
create new static groups:
•
Static groups can contain other static
or dynamic
groups.
•
You can optionally also add a description for the new group.
•
If any organizational units have been defined for your directory, you can
specify where you want the new group to be placed using the Add New Group
To list. The default location is your directory’s root point, or top-most entry.
•
When you are finished entering the desired information, click Create Group to
add the group and immediately return to the New Group form. Alternatively,
click Create and Edit Group to add the group and then proceed to the Edit
Group form for the group you have just added. For information on editing
groups, see “Editing Group Attributes,” on page 79.
To Create a Static Group
To create a static group entry, perform the following steps:
1.
Access the Administration Server and choose the Users & Groups tab.
2.
Click the New Group link.
3.
Enter the required information and click OK.
For more information, see The New Group Page in the online help.
Dynamic Groups
A dynamic group has an
objectclass
of
groupOfURLs
, and has zero or more
memberURL
attributes, each of which is a LDAP URL that describes a set of objects.
Enterprise Server enables you to create a dynamic group when you want to group
users automatically based on any attribute, or when you want to apply ACLs to
specific groups which contain matching DNs. For example, you can create a group
that automatically includes any DN that contains the attribute
