Download AD Nested Groups user store plugin

Introduction

Using nesting, you can add a group as a member of another group. You nest groups to consolidate member accounts and reduce replication traffic.
Nesting options depend on whether the domain functionality of your Windows Server 2003 domain is set to Windows 2000 native or Windows 2000 mixed.
By default, when you nest a group within another group, user rights are inherited. For example, if you make Group_1 a member of Group_2, users in Group_1 have the same permissions as the users in Group_2.

Setup Information

1. Download plugin from this solution

• Extract the zip file and copy the “com” folder to the Identity Server:

• Copy it to the <NIDP>/WEB-INF/classes directory
  
  

  
  Linux: 
  /opt/novell/nam/idp/webapps/nidp/WEB-INF/classes
  Windows Server 2008: 
  \Program Files (x86)\Novell\Tomcat\webapps\nidp\WEB-INF\classes
  

  
  

• To associate an LDAP Server plug-in with the Custom1, Custom2, or Custom3 directory type, modify the web.xml file on the Identity Server:
  
  4.1 In a text editor, open the web.xml file.
  

  
  Linux: 
  /opt/novell/nam/idp/webapps/nidp/WEB-INF/web.xml
  Windows Server 2008: 
  \Program Files (x86)\Novell\Tomcat\webapps\nidp\WEB-INF\web.xml
  
  

  
  
  4.2 Add an entry for the ladpStorePlugins context parameter. Your entry should look similar to the following to associate the com.netiq.custom.LDAPStorePluginActiveDirExt with the Custom1 directory type.
  

  
  <context-param>
  <param-name>ldapStorePlugins</param-name>
  	<param-value>custom1:com.netiq.custom.LDAPStorePluginActiveDirExt</param-value>
  </context-param>
  
  

  
  

• Restart IDP
  

  
  Linux: 
  Enter one of the following commands:
  /etc/init.d/novell-idp restart
  rcnovell-idp restart
  Windows: 
  Enter the following commands:
  net stop Tomcat7
  net start Tomcat7
  
  

  
  

• Repeat above steps on each Identity Server in the cluster.
  
  

• In the Administration Console, configure the Identity Server to use the new directory type for a user store.
  
  
  7.1 Click Access Manager > Identity Servers > Edit > Local.
  
  7.2 Either select the name of a user store or click New.
  
  7.3 For the Directory type, select the custom string you have configured above that is custom1
  
  

• Complete one of the following:
  
  8.1 For a new user store, configure the other required values, then click Finish.
  
  8.2 For a modified user store, modify the other options to fit the new directory type, then click OK.
  
  

• Update the Identity Server.
  
  

• (Optional) To verify that the new directory type is functioning correctly, log in to the user portal by using the credentials of a user in the user store.
  
  

• Refer to nested groups in policy creation or role creation. This is regular steps to be followed as per documentation how to created role or policy.
