User Membership Attribute

The attribute field to use when loading the user's groups. Example:

Use 'memberOf' Attribute on the User, when finding the user's group membership

Put a tick in the checkbox if your directory server supports the group membership attribute on the user. (By default, this is the 'memberOf' attribute.)

• If this checkbox is ticked, your application will use the group membership attribute on the user when retrieving the members of a given group. This will result in a more efficient retrieval.
• If this checkbox is not ticked, your application will use the members attribute on the group ('member' by default) for the search.
• If the 'Enable Nested Groups' checkbox is ticked, your application will ignore the 'Use memberOf Attribute on the User' option and will use the members attribute on the group for the search.

Use 'memberOf' Attribute on the User, when finding the members of a group

• If this checkbox is ticked, your application will use the 'memberOf' attribute when retrieving the list of groups to which a given user belongs. This will result in a more efficient search.
• If this checkbox is not ticked, your application will use the members attribute on the group ('member' by default) for the search.
