LDAP groupmembership

Sabic_Support_(sabicsupport_-_(deleted))

Hi Everybody,I have the following problem. We're using Livelink 9.5 here and synchronize our users using LDAP Read-Only. This works fine.Now we would like to synchronize some groups in AD with a group in Livelink but until now I couldn't achieve this. What I've done is the following:Usersearch filter: (&(objectClass=user)(memberOf=cn=U_EPC_ECMLivelink,ou=User Groups,ou=Accounts,ou=EPC,dc=Europe,dc=SABIC,dc=com))Groupsearch filter: (&(objectClass=group)(name=A_EPC_LiveLinkDC))This results in the users being synchronized, the group A_EPC_LivelinkDC is created in Livelink but remains empty.Anyone an idea what I am doing wrong?Peter de Vries

Hi Peter,

If the users and groups are being synchronised, and the users are members of the group in Active Directory, then the problem is likely the Group Member attribute you have specified on the LDAP parameters page. Active Directory stores group membership in an attribute called 'member', while most other directory servers store it in an attribute called 'uniqueMember'.

Hope this helps,

Geoff

Hi Everybody,

Now we would like to synchronize some groups in AD with a group in Livelink but until now I couldn't achieve this. What I've done is the following:

Usersearch filter: (&(objectClass=user)(memberOf=cn=U_EPC_ECMLivelink,ou=User Groups,ou=Accounts,ou=EPC,dc=Europe,dc=SABIC,dc=com))

Groupsearch filter: (&(objectClass=group)(name=A_EPC_LiveLinkDC))

This results in the users being synchronized, the group A_EPC_LivelinkDC is created in Livelink but remains empty.

Anyone an idea what I am doing wrong?
