is changed, all of the members' associated directory entries are automatically updated with their
corresponding
memberOf
attributes.
The
cn=memberof task
(and the related
fixup-memberof.pl
script) is used to create the initial
memberOf
attributes on the member's user entries in the directory. After the
memberOf
attributes are
created, then the MemberOf Plug-in manages the
memberOf
attributes automatically.
The
memberOf
update task must give the DN of the entry or subtree to run the update task against
(set in the
basedn
attribute). Optionally, the task can include a filter to identify the members' user
entries to update (set in the
filter
attribute). For example:
dn: cn=example memberof, cn=memberof task, cn=tasks, cn=config
objectclass: extensibleObject
cn:example memberof
basedn: ou=people,dc=example,dc=com
filter: (objectclass=groupOfNames)
As soon as the task is complete, the task entry is removed from the directory.
The
cn=memberof task
entry is a container entry for
memberOf
update operations. The
cn=memberof task
entry itself has no attributes, but each of the task entries beneath this entry,
such as
cn=
task_ID
,
cn=memberof task
,
cn=tasks
,
cn=config
, uses its attributes to define the
individual update task.
basedn
