SLAPO-NESTGROUP(5) File Formats Manual SLAPO-NESTGROUP(5)
slapo-nestgroup - Nested Group overlay to slapd
ETCDIR/slapd.conf
The nestgroup overlay to slapd(8) supports evaluation of nested
groups in Search operations. Support consists of four possible
features: inclusion of parent groups when searching with (member=)
filters, inclusion of child groups when searching with (memberOf=)
filters, expansion of child groups when returning member
attributes, and expansion of parent groups when returning memberOf
attributes. Each of these features may be enabled independently.
By default, no features are enabled, so this overlay does nothing
unless explicitly enabled.
The config directives that are specific to the nestgroup overlay
must be prefixed by nestgroup-, to avoid potential conflicts with
directives specific to the underlying database or to other stacked
overlays.
overlay nestgroup
This directive adds the nestgroup overlay to the current
database; see slapd.conf(5) for details.
The following slapd.conf configuration options are defined for the
nestgroup overlay.
nestgroup-member <member-ad>
The value <member-ad> is the name of the attribute that
contains the names of the members in the group objects; it
must be DN-valued. It defaults to member.
nestgroup-memberof <memberof-ad>
The value <memberof-ad> is the name of the attribute that
contains the names of the groups an entry is member of; it
must be DN-valued. It defaults to memberOf.
nestgroup-base <dn>
The value <dn> specifies a subtree that contains group
entries in the DIT. This may be specified multiple times
for multiple distinct subtrees. It has no default and the
overlay does no processing unless it is explicitly
configured.
nestgroup-flags {member-filter, memberof-filter, member-values,
memberof-values}
This option specifies which features to enable in the
overlay. By default, nothing is enabled and the overlay is
a no-op.
The nestgroup overlay may be used with any backend that provides
standard search functionality.
ETCDIR/slapd.conf
default slapd configuration file
slapo-dynlist(5), slapo-memberof(5), slapd.conf(5),
slapd-config(5), slapd(8). The slapo-nestgroup(5) overlay
supports dynamic configuration via back-config.
