QA: groupOfNames - Is this supported from UCS?

Question

Is groupOfNames supported by UCS?

Answer

No, UCS don’t support groupOfNames!
The default group schema in UCS are posixGroup!

As an example the output from posix-Group:

dn: cn=admins_posix,ou=groups,dc=example,dc=com
objectClass: top
objectClass: posixGroup
cn: admins_posix
gidNumber: 5001
memberUid: user1
memberUid: user2

posix-Group use the attribute memberUid

Here the output from groupOfNames:

dn: cn=admins_ldap,ou=groups,dc=example,dc=com
objectClass: top
objectClass: groupOfNames
cn: admins_ldap
member: cn=user1,ou=users,dc=example,dc=com
member: cn=user2,ou=users,dc=example,dc=com

groupOfNames use the attribute member with the dn.
