MemberOf Plug-in AttributesGroup membership is defined within group entries using an attribute such as member. Searchingfor the member attribute makes it easy to list all of the members for the group. However, groupmembership is not reflected in the member's user entry, so it is impossible to tell to what groups aperson belongs by looking at the user's entry.The MemberOf Plug-in synchronizes the group membership in group members with the members'individual directory entries by identifying changes to a specific attribute (such as member) in the groupentry and then carrying those changes over to a specific attribute in the entries for the members.3.8.1. memberofattrThis attribute specifies the attribute in the user entry for the Directory Server to manage to reflectgroup membership. The MemberOf Plug-in generates the value of the attribute specified here in thedirectory entry for the member. There is a separate attribute for every group to which the user belongs.Parameter DescriptionEntry DN cn=MemberOf Plugin, cn=plugins, cn=configValid Range Any Directory Server attributeDefault Value memberOfSyntax DirectoryStringExample memberofattr: memberOf3.8.2. memberofgroupattrThis attribute specifies the attribute in the group entry to use to identify the DNs of group members.By default, this is the member attribute, but it can be any membership-related attribute, such asuniqueMember or member.NOTEAny attribute can be used for the memberofgroupattr value, but the MemberOf Plug-in only works if the value of the target attribute contains the DN of the member entry.
