<title>Working With Groups of Entries</title>
|
|
<para>OpenDJ supports several methods of grouping entries in the directory.
|
Static groups list their members, whereas dynamic groups look up their
|
membership based on an LDAP filter. OpenDJ also supports virtual static
|
groups, which uses a dynamic group style definition, but allows applications
|
to work with the group as if it were static. OpenDJ can also mimic
|
the behavior of non-standard roles as implemented in Oracle DSEE.</para>
|
|
<para>When listing entries in static groups, you must also have a mechanism
|
for removing entries from the list when they are deleted or modified in ways
|
that end their membership. OpenDJ makes that possible with
|
<emphasis>referential integrity</emphasis> functionality.</para>
|
|
<para>This chapter demonstrates how to work with groups.</para>
