Groups

The group list is for configuring LDAP groups. A user account can access the specified host server only if that account is a member of any of the defined groups on the list.

If the group list is empty, then any user account can access the host server.

Any group that is configured on the group list should already be configured on the LDAP server before the configuration. This tool does not effect any changes on the LDAP server.

This table shows the available actions:
Action Description
Add This adds a new group to the group list. Clicking this prompts a dialog box for specifying a group name. Clicking OK on the dialog box adds the new group into the group list, and that new group becomes selected.

If a group with the same name already exists in the group list, then no new group is added. The group with the same name becomes selected.

Edit This edits an existing group name. Clicking this prompts a dialog box for editing a group name. Clicking OK updates the group’s name. If the new name is the same as that of another group, then the current group is removed. The group with the new name becomes selected. This is enabled if one and only one group is selected.
Remove This removes selected groups from the group list. Clicking this removes the selected groups immediately. This is enabled if one or more groups are selected.
Import This imports existing groups defined on the configured LDAP server. Clicking this prompts a dialog box for specifying the user name and password for logging on to the LDAP server. This is only if they have not been specified in the current application session. After this, it connects to the LDAP server and retrieves the LDAP groups from the LDAP server.

A Choose LDAP Groups dialog box opens for selecting the LDAP groups.
