Returning User Group Information via LDAP

When an LDAP authentication attempt succeeds, the Dominion KX
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 server. Consult your
authentication server administrator to enable this attribute.
