Name

Specifies the name of the member attribute in LDAP. For example, member and uniqueMember are two commonly used names of member attributes.

The member attribute is used to store the values that reference members that the group contains. For example, a group type with an object class groupOfNames has a member attribute named member; group type with object class groupOfUniqueNames has a member attribute named uniqueMember. An LDAP repository supports multiple group types if multiple member attributes and their associated group object classes are specified.

Scope
