getGroup command
Use this command to view information about a group.
Purpose
Use the getGroup command to view a map that contains the following properties of a group:
- cn
- description
- uniqueName
These are the only properties that this command returns; that is, you cannot modify the properties that the command returns.
If the Use global security settings option is selected for the user realm or the Global federated repositories option is selected as the realm type for the specified domain, this command is executed on the federated repository of the admin domain. However, configuration changes performed on the domain are applied to the security domain-specific configuration.
Syntax
getGroup { -uniqueName uniqueName [-securityDomainName domainName] }
Parameters
-uniqueName uniqueName
Unique name for the group to view. This parameter maps to the uniqueName property in virtual member manager.
-securityDomainName domainName
Name that uniquely identifies the security domain. If not specified, uses the global federated repository.
Sample
To retrieve the cn and description information about the group called operators, issue this command:$AdminTask getGroup {-uniqueName cn=operators,cn=groups,dc=yourco,dc=com}
