Import groups

We can import an existing group from a user registry into the domain and make that group an ISAM group with the Web Portal Manager or pdadmin utility.

When a group is imported, the domain administrator assigns a group name. The group name must be unique within the domain because it is used by ISAM to identify this group. When AD LDS is used as the user registry, we can import only existing groups defined within the same AD LDS partition in which ISAM was configured. Attention: If you import a dynamic group, ensure that the policy server is enabled for dynamic group support. For blade systems to benefit from dynamic group support, also enable this stanza entry on each blade system. For details about enabling the policy server for dynamic groups, see Enabling dynamic group support.
