The following table describes the fields within the LDAP Server Settings (LDAP Groups) screen.

Field

Description

Group Name

The Directory Server group name. Microsoft Active Directory servers have a reverse
mapping from the user to the groups the user belongs to. To determine if the user is a

member of the group, other servers might need to combine the Group Name with a

Search Context to look up the group. To open the Edit LDAP Group window, click the
Group Name.

Starting with Virtual Connect v1.31, nested group memberships (groups that are

members of groups) are searched to a depth of up to four levels when determining
group membership.

Roles

Zero or more roles (Domain, Network, Storage, Server) assigned to the group. A user

can be a member of multiple groups, in which case the roles are cumulative. If the user

is only a member of a group (or groups) with no roles, the user can log in and view the
Virtual Connect configuration but cannot make any changes. If a user is not a member

of any group, the user cannot log in.

Role Operations

Permitted operations for the assigned roles. Role Operations can be edited from the

"Role Management (Role Operations) screen (on page

83

)."
