APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
The ldapLoginGroupFilter setting can be configured so that a group search uses this filter instead of the default (for a Federated Repository), and while this works when a user's groups are looked up, if a nested search of a group is performed (to find its groups perhaps), this nested search does not use the ldapLoginGroupFilter.
