updateGroup command
Use this command to modify the properties of a group.
Purpose
Use the updateGroup command to modify the following properties of a group:
- cn
- descripton
These are the only properties that you can modify with the updateGroup command.
If successful, the updateGroup command returns the unique name of the updated group.
If the Use global security settings option is selected for the user realm or the Global federated repositories option is selected as the realm type for the specified domain, this command is executed on the federated repository of the admin domain. However, configuration changes performed on the domain are applied to the security domain-specific configuration.
