Enable Static Roles

Before you can create static roles, you must set up static groups. Ensure that groups are working without error before you set up roles.

A static group becomes a static role when the set use-roles = true command is used.

To enable static roles

1. Stop the DSA.
2. Specify the subtree that stores the group entries by including the following commands in the DSA's configuration:

   set role-subtree = dn;
   set use-roles = true;
   

   In this command, dn is the distinguished name of the subtree used to store the group entries.

3. Start the DSA.
