I have similar situation and also a replicated environment. I am using
posixGroup only and never had any need for a memberOf attribute.
But now, my devs have a software which insists on that attribute so I
should provide it for them.

posixGroup is not a valid objectClass to use with providing memberOf
information.

Ouch! I have 51 different posixGroup groups which have been in use for
more than 10 years and now because of one
piece of software I must change the way I manage them all. Not happy at
all.


What is your suggestion Quanah? Can I just add an object? It would be a
problem if I must change all services.
Or maybe just add a few new groups of different types for that software.
That will be great if it is appropriate.



 @Dave Macias Can you share the structure of your groups?

member/memberOf depend on LDAP groups, not unix groups, which are based on DNs.

Example groups objectClasses are:

groupOfNames (core schema)
groupOfUniqueNames (core schema)
groupOfMembers (rfc2307bis schema)


Of these three, I would recommend either groupOfNames or groupOfMembers

Quanah
