Hello

I am testing integration of 389-ds with a blogging system. I plan to use roles instead of groups to automatically give users rights to service on the blog system. However, I am having problems with the system identifying members of roles. I need help with defining the correct search parameters to identify which roles a uid or cn is a member of.

From within the blog system I’m using LDAPGroupFilter (objectclass=ldapSubEntry) to list the roles. The roles list correctly as groups within the blog system.

From within 389 the members of roles are configured as filtered, and I can see the configured members using the Directory Server GUI.

The blog system is not identifying members of roles when it does its search against 389. Note, users can log into the blog system using the accounts created on 389. I don’t think I am applying the correct search criteria to identify group membership. I need advice on creation of the correct search criteria for membership of roles/groups.
