[Fedora-directory-users] Which is better - attribute of type dn or multivalued attribute?

[Ankur Agarwal]

Hi,
   
  In our schema we need to have users who will belong to multiple groups. These groups are
independent groups and do not have any parent child relationship. So while defining the
ObjectClass for my user i have two options:
   
  1) Have an attribute called - isMemberOf and make it of type distinguishedName. This
will be a list of all groups to which a user belongs.
   
  2) Have a multivalued attribute - groupName. 
   
  which option makes more sense. Assume the functionalities that i need to support are:
  1) Search all users belonging to a group
  2) edit a user to add/remove a group from profile
  3) Delete all the users belonging to a group
   
  regards,
  Ankur
