A static group is an entry in the directory that stores a list of the members of the group.
A static group entry usually has one of the object classes listed in the following table:
|
Object Class |
Attribute Containing Members |
|---|---|
|
groupOfNames |
member |
|
groupOfUniqueNames |
uniqueMember |
If a user is removed from the directory, then the user must also be removed from any static groups that the user belonged to. To do this, you remove the user's member DN from each group that the user was a member of. This means that static groups are useful for directories in which the group memberships do not change frequently.
If a static group contains a large number of members, it can take a long time to update the entry. Dynamic groups do not have this disadvantage.
