fix

For Access Control Policies (ACL policies) to restrict access by LDAP groups, the LDAP authentication policy must have the "LDAP group object class name" and "LDAP user attribute group membership" fields properly completed.  The value for these fields varies depending on the directory database that is running LDAP.

The LDAP group object class name for a Novell eDirectory or NDS server is: Groupofnames
The LDAP user attribute group membership: groupmembership

The LDAP group object class name for a Domino server is: groupofnames
The LDAP use attribute group membership: member

The LDAP group object class name for a Microsoft Active Directory or Exchange server is: Group
The LDAP user attribute group membership: memberof

The LDAP group object class name for a Netscape iPlanet server is: groupofuniquenames
The LDAP user attribute group membership: uniquemember

In the command line and .NAS files, these fields are called objectclassgroup and userattrmembership.

See TID 10077674 for details on configuring the ACL to limit access based on these groups.
