The members of a group are not listed

Follow the steps listed here to troubleshoot when members of a group are not listed when searching an LDAP repository.


Problem

When searching a group, the members of a group are not listed.

This problem usually occurs because the name of the member attribute specified in the LDAP search is different from the memberAttributes name configured in the wimconfig.xml file.

For example, the LDAP search specifies the attribute name as uniquemember, but in the wimconfig.xml file, the memberAttributes name is configured as member as shown here:

<config:groupConfiguration>
<config:memberAttributes dummyMember="uid=dummy" name="member"  objectClass="groupofuniquenames“ scope="direct"/>
</config:groupConfiguration> 


Solution

Check the group member attribute in LDAP and ensure that it is configured correctly in virtual member manager.

Correct the memberAttributes name in the wimconfig.xml file.

The corrected configuration for the example described in the previous section is shown here:

<config:groupConfiguration>
<config:memberAttributes dummyMember="uid=dummy" name="uniquemember"  objectClass="groupofuniquenames“ scope="direct"/>
</config:groupConfiguration>
