Memberofattr; Memberofgroupattr - Red Hat 8.1 Configuration And Command Reference

152
Chapter 3. Plug-in Implemented Server Functionality Reference
T he MemberOf Plug-in synchronizes the group membership in group members with the members'
individual directory entries by identifying changes to a specific attribute (such as member) in the group
entry and then carrying those changes over to a specific attribute in the entries for the members.

3.8.1. memberofattr

T his attribute specifies the attribute in the user entry for the Directory Server to manage to reflect group
membership. T he MemberOf Plug-in generates the value of the attribute specified here in the directory
entry for the member. T here is a separate attribute for every group to which the user belongs.

3.8.2. memberofgroupattr

T his attribute specifies the attribute in the group entry to use to identify the DNs of group members. By
default, this is the member attribute, but it can be any membership-related attribute, such as
uniqueMember or member.
NOTE
Any attribute can be used for the memberofgroupattr value, but the MemberOf Plug-in only
works if the value of the target attribute contains the DN of the member entry. For example, the
member attribute contains the DN of the member's user entry:
member: uid=jsmith,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com
Some member-related attributes do not contain a DN, like the memberURL attribute. T hat attribute
will not work as a value for memberofgroupattr, since the memberURL value is a URL and a non-
DN value cannot work with the MemberOf Plug-in.
