NOTE
The Console for managing static groups may not display all possible
selections during a search operation if there is no VLV index for
users' search.
You may notice this problem only when the number of users is 1000
or more and there is no VLV index for search. To work around the
problem, create a VLV index for the users suffix with filter
(objectclass=person)
and scope
sub-tree
