PingDS 7.5.1

groupOfNames

Note The default schema defines groupOfNames as if it were groupOfEntries, making it possible to have an empty group. This is a deviation from the standard definition, as proposed in the LDAP groupOfEntries Internet-Draft.

Use this object class only for group entries. Directory servers cache group entries based on their object class; adding this object class to non-group entries fills the group cache with spurious entries. This hurts overall group-related performance and performance for the non-group entries incorrectly identified as groups.
