Problem

When restricting portal entries to dedicated groups the portal entries disappear completely and cannot be seen by any user.

Solution

Install and enable the memberOf overlay module (univention-ldap-overlay-memberof) for LDAP.

Step 2 - Restarting UMC

Environment

The memberOf module is installed and activated automatically on a fresh install of UCS 4.3.
In UCS 4.2 and earlier the module was only installed and activated in UCS@school environments.

Therefore for updated 4.3 systems the module is not installed by default.
