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. This problem occurs
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 the filter
(objectclass=person)
and scope
sub-tree
.
