Re: AD group membership second method



So below is my config based on the example AD config. It was not
seeing the group members unless we populated the memberUid attribute
in AD. But just so happens our AD servers were upgraded to Windows
2016 server this weekend and now the filter group is working with just
the normal ad member attribute. That is we do not have to populate the
member Uid. Thanks for your response.

pagesize 1000
referrals off
idle_timelimit 800
filter passwd 
(&(objectClass=user)(!(objectClass=computer))(uidNumber=*)(homeDirectory=*))
map    passwd gecos            displayName
filter group  (objectClass=group)
