8.2 Active Directory Settings

The Active Directory Settings panel lets you configure the range to search for Active Directory group memberships within a user container.

For example, assume that you have a user container named BLR that has the A, B, and C top-level groups and the following nested groups:

  • Group A has a nested group A1, A1 has a nested group A2, and A2 has a nested group A3.

  • Group B has a nested group B1, B1 has a nested group B2, and B2 has a nested group B3.

  • Group C has a nested group C1 and C1 has a nested group C2.

Select one of the following options:

  • Top-level groups only: Limits the search to within the top-level groups of the user container. For example, select this option if you want the search to be performed only in the A, B, and C top-level groups and not in the nested groups (A1, A2, A3, B1, B2, B3,C1, C2).

  • Top-level groups and all the nested groups: Searches within all the top-level groups and all the nested groups of the user container. For example, select this option if you want the search to be performed in the top-level groups (A, B, and C) and in all the nested groups (A1, A2, A3, B1, B2, B3,C1, C2).

  • Top-level groups and the nested group depth level upto: Lets you specify the nested group level to search. For example:

    • For the nested group depth level specified as1, the search is performed in all the top-level groups (A, B, and C) and in the A1, B1, and C1 nested groups.

    • For the nested group depth level specified as 2, the search is performed in all the top-level groups (A, B, and C) and in the A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, and C2 nested groups.

    • For the nested group depth level specified as 3, the search is performed in all the top-level groups (A, B, and C) and in the A1, A2, A3, B1, B2, B3, C1, and C2 nested groups.
