Name of member attribute

Name of the member attribute in LDAP. For example, member and uniqueMember are two commonly used names of member attributes.

The member attribute is used to store the values that reference members that the group contains. For example, a group type with an object class groupOfNames has a member attribute named member; group type with object class groupOfUniqueNames has a member attribute named uniqueMember. An LDAP repository supports multiple group types if multiple member attributes and their associated group object classes are specified.


Object class

Object class of the group that uses this member attribute. If this field is not defined, this member attribute applies to all group object classes.


Scope

Scope of the member attribute.

Information Value
Default: Direct
Range:

Direct

The member attribute contains direct members only. Direct members are members that are directly contained by the group. For example, if Group1 contains Group2 and Group2 contains User1, then User1 is a direct member of Group2, but User1 is not a direct member of Group1.

Nested

The member attribute contains both direct members and nested members.

All

The member attribute contains direct members, nested members, and dynamic members.
