Returning User Group Information

Use the information in this section to return User Group information (and
assist with authorization) once authentication is successful.

From LDAP

When an LDAP/LDAPS authentication is successful, the Dominion KX II
determines the permissions for a given user based on the permissions of
the user's group. Your remote LDAP server can provide these user group
names by returning an attribute named as follows:

rciusergroup

attribute type: string

This may require a schema extension on your LDAP/LDAPS server.
Consult your authentication server administrator to enable this attribute.

From Microsoft Active Directory

Note: This should be attempted only by an experienced Active Directory
administrator.

Returning user group information from Microsoft's Active Directory for
Windows 2000 Server requires updating the LDAP/LDAPS schema. See
your Microsoft documentation for details.

1. Install the schema plug-in for Active Directory. See Microsoft Active

Directory documentation for instructions.

2. Run Active Directory Console and select Active Directory Schema.
