I want to create a set of groups that will be used for authorization purposes. To me, it seems that a groupOfNames or groupOfUniqueNames will best serve this purpose. (Better suggestions?) However, both object classes require at least one member attribute. There will be times though when a member is not known. How do you handle this?
Right now I create all groups with an invalid member attribute:
member: cn=invalid,dc=..,dc=..
Does this break any convention? Is there a better way to handle this?
what I usually do is add the DN of the group itself.
Hmm, this could lead to problems with software which resolves nested groups.
Ciao, Michael.
