Dynamic groups and nested group support for the IBM Tivoli Directory Server

WebSphere Application Server V6 supports all Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) dynamic and nested groups when using IBM Tivoli Directory Server 4.1 and later. This function is enabled by default by taking advantage of a new feature in IBM Tivoli Directory Server. IBM Tivoli 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 Tivoli Directory Server for more information.
