Configuring WebSphere Portal to use dynamic groups
By default, IBM® WebSphere® Portal is enabled for static groups. However, the Virtual Member Manager (VMM) allows users to be members of either static or dynamic groups. Static groups have a persistent binding between a group and its members. Dynamic groups have a search query that is defined to retrieve the members of a group.
About this task
Disclaimer: The
following procedure is to activate dynamic group support natively
in VMM. It is preferable, if possible, to use the group membership
attribute support to bring in dynamic group information from your
LDAP server. Using the group membership attribute support for dynamic
group membership is only possible if:
- Your LDAP server supports a group membership attribute
- The group membership attribute includes dynamic group membership information
Clustered environments: Complete the following
steps on the Deployment Manager and then synchronize the nodes.
