Add Group Search Rule (LDAP)

To synchronize one or more mailing lists as Google Groups, click Add Search
Rule and
specify the fields in the dialog box. After specifying the fields, click
Apply to submit your changes, or Test LDAP Query to test the search rule.

The first tab you see is the LDAP tab, which contains information on which LDAP
objects to synchronize, and which attributes to use for groups information.

To view the groups you have in Google Apps, see the Google Apps control panel.

Attribute Fields: Reference vs. Literal

For two entries (Member and Owner) you have a choice of two attributes, a
Reference attribute or a Literal attribute. Enter only one of them.

To determine which to use, use an LDAP browser to look at the contents of the
field you want to use:

If the field contains an email address such as

[email protected]

then

use the Literal attribute.

If the field contains a distinguished name such as

CN=listowner,OU=administrators,OU=example,OU=com

then use the

Reference attribute.
