Special features - Active Directory Multi Plugin
================================================
Properties of the ADMultiPlugin instance:
- groupid_attr - the LDAP attribute used for group ids.
- grouptitle_attr - the LDAP attribute used to compose group titles.
- group_class - the LDAP class of group objects.
- group_recurse - boolean indicating whether to determine group
memberships of a user by unrolling nested group relationships
(expensive). This feature is not guaranteed to work at this moment.
Active Directory configuration hints
====================================
In order for groups support to work correctly, you may have to set the
following properties. Every situation is different, but this has helped
some people succeed:
- On the "Properties" tab for the ActiveDirectoryMultiPlugin, set the
groupid_attr property to "name".
- On the contained LDAPUserFolder's "Configure" tab, choose a
property other than "objectGUID", e.g. "sAMAccountName" for the
User ID property. To get to the LDAPUserFolder, click on the
ActiveDirectoryMultiPlugin "Content" tab.
Please see README.ActiveDirectory from the LDAPUserFolder package for
additional information.
