Defining groups on an LDAP server running OpenLDAP
Perform the following procedures for configuring support for group authorizations when a server
running OpenLDAP is used for LDAP authentication.
Any groups configured in the memberof attribute are used; if no groups are defined in the member
of attribute, then any groups configured in the info attribute are used. The groups defined on the
LDAP server must be configured on the MergePoint SP manager with the desired device
access authorizations.
To configure groups using the info attribute on an LDAP authentication server:
1. On the server, add the info attribute into the objectclass posixAccount in the /etc/ldap/schema/
nis.schema file:
objectclass (1.3.6.1.1.2.0 NAME 'posixAccount' SUP top AUXILIARY DESC
'Abstraction of an account with POSIX attributes' MUST ( cn $ uid $
uidNumber $ gidNumber $ homeDirectory ) MAY ( userPassword $ loginShell
$ gecos $ description $ info) )
2. Make sure the info attribute exists in the /etc/ldap/schema/cosine.schema file.
