Inverted static groups use a unique attribute for nesting other groups as members within the inverted static group.
You must have the distinguished name (DN) of the nested group that you are adding to
the inverted static group. For example, cn=Group to
Nest,ou=groups,dc=example,dc=com
.
When configuring nesting within a traditional static group, you add both users and groups to
the group entry by defining member
or uniqueMember
attributes with their DNs. Although this is simple, it doesn’t allow you to
systematically distinguish between the group’s individual user members and the
members that are actually nested groups.
Inverted static groups make this distinction by storing the nested group member in a unique attribute. Instead of providing the DN of the parent group to the nested group entry, you provide the nested group’s DN to the parent group.
