Creating Nested Groups in eDirectory 8.8.2 using iManager 2.7
Problem
I need to create a nested Group in eDirectory 8.8.2, using iManager 2.7.
Solution
1. Log in to iManager 2.7 with Administrator credentials.
2. Select Groups from the leftmost panel and create a static Group:
Figure 1 - Creating a Group
3. Modify the static group object and Select "Other".
Figure 2 - Modifying the object
4. Select Objectclass > Edit objectclass attribute > Add item NestedgroupAux.
5. Apply these changes.
Figure 3 - Adding the NestedgroupAux item
Verification and Validation
Perform an Ldapsearch for the nested group object created. For example:
<HostName>:~ # ldapsearch -D cn=admin,o=n -w test cn=nestedg1 ------------------------------------------------ version: 1 # # filter: cn=nestedg1 # requesting: ALL # # nestedg1,n dn: cn=nestedg1,o=n owner: cn=admin,o=n objectClass: groupOfNames objectClass: Top objectClass: nestedGroupAux cn: nestedg1 ACL: 2#entry#[Root]#member # search result # search: 2 # result: 0 Success # numResponses: 2 # numEntries: 1 ----------------------------------------
You will see that the group object class has been extended to the nested Group.
