Dynamic groups and nested group support for the IBM Directory Server

WebSphere Application Server V5 supports all LDAP dynamic and nested groups when using IBM Directory Server v4.1 (or a more current version). This function is enabled by default by taking advantage of a new feature in IBM Directory Server. IBM Directory Server v4.1 uses the ibm-allGroups forward reference group attribute that automatically calculates all the group memberships (including dynamic and recursive memberships) for a user. Security directly locates a user group membership from a user object rather than indirectly search all the groups to match group members.

Refer to Configuring dynamic and nested group support for the IBM Directory Server for more information.
