Group Types > LDAP Domain Groups:

An LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) domain on a network server is comprised of LDAP groups and their associated members, derived from profiles on the network’s authentication server.

In the tree menu of the Web Filter Administrator console, the LDAP group type is represented by the LDAP icon . This branch will only display if authentication is enabled. Using the tree menu, the global administrator adds and maintains LDAP domains , and assigns designated group administrators (Sub Admins) access to specific entities (nodes) within that domain.

The group administrator creates and maintains filtering profiles for entities assigned to him/her. For Active Directory or “Other” server types, these entities include primary or static groups , workstations , users , or containers . For Open Directory, entities include groups and users. For Novell eDirectory, SunOne, Sun IPlanet, or Netscape Directory server types, these entities also include dynamic groups .

If users belong to more than one group, the global administrator sets the priority for group filtering.
