RE: Problem adding a user to multiple groups

["Rigler, Steve" <SRigler@MarathonOil.com>]

The gidNumber attribute in posixAccount isn't going to be multivalued
for the same reason that you can't assign a user to multiple primary
groups in your /etc/passwd file.

OTOH, the memberUid attribute in posixGroup should have the userid
(as opposed to uidNumber) similar to how you would do it with your
/etc/group file (ie, memberUid = root, etc).

Subject: Problem adding a user to multiple groups



I have set up ldap authentication in my Linux environment.  All seems to be working as well as expected; however, I am now trying to assign a user to another group.  I see that the attribute gidNumber is not a multi-value attribute for a given user (uid=user,ou=People,dc=my,dc=domain).  I do see that memberUid is a multi-value attribute for a given group (cn=wheel,ou=Group,dc=my,dc=domain).  Having added a uid to this memberUid attribute it seems to have no impact on the given user?  I am using the actual numeric uid, is this correct?   


Thanks!
