User's Manual

The Group Configuration screen for the selected user directory type opens. Shared Services uses
the properties set in this screen to create a filter to search for groups in the user directory. Using
this filter speeds the search.
10 Clear Support Groups if you do not plan to provision groups or if users are not categorized into groups on
the user directory. Deselecting this option disables the fields on this screen.
If you are supporting groups, Hyperion recommends that you use the Auto Configure area to
retrieve the required information.
If you are configuring Oracle Internet Directory as a user directory, you cannot automatically
configure the filter because the root DSE of Oracle Internet Directory does not contain entries
in the Naming Contexts attribute. See Oracle documentation for detailed information.
11 In the Auto Configure area, enter a unique group identifier and click Go.
The group identifier must be expressed in <attribute>=<identifier> format; for example,
cn=western_region.
Attributes of the group are displayed in the Group Configuration area.
Note:
You can manually enter required group attributes into text boxes in the Group Configuration
area.
Caution!
If the group URL is not set for user directories that contain / (slash) or \ (backslash) in its node
names, the search for users and groups fails. For example, any operation to list the user or group
fails if the group URL is not specified for a user directory in which users and groups exist in a
node such as
OU=child\ou,OU=parent/ou or OU=child/ou,OU=parent \ ou.
