Groups and roles

The groups and roles utilize the entries contained in the sample.ldif file that is located in the examples directory of the IBM® Security Directory Server.

Create three groups to organize a lunch club.
  • The first group is a static group that lists those people who like to meet for lunch on Monday.
  • The second group that meets for lunch on Tuesday is a dynamic group. This group lists all the members of a department (the Widget division). The advantage of a dynamic group is that the changes that you make to the subtree entry, such as adding a new person entry, is dynamically changed in the group as well.
  • The third group is a nested group that is a container for the other two groups.
