This dynamic group includes entries in Democorp that have the word engineer in the description attribute.

To create a dynamic group in Democorp

1. Open JXweb and connect to the Democorp DSA.
2. Navigate to the Groups subtree and click New.
3. Enter and select the following information:
   • Parent DN: ou=Groups,o=DEMOCORP,c=AU
   • RDN for New Entry: cn=Engineers
   • Selected: groupOfNames and dxDynamicGroupOfNames

   The new entry is created. You now need to add the LDAP filter to the dxMemberURL attribute.
