Access Type Assignments From LDAP Groups

You can configure CA SDM to assign access type values to contacts automatically, based on LDAP group membership. With automatic access type assignment enabled, if an LDAP user record that was used to create a contact belongs to an LDAP group that is associated with one of the CA SDM access types, then the contact is automatically assigned that access type. Otherwise, the contact inherits the default access type.

To enable automatic access type assignment, you must install the ldap_enable_group and ldap_group_object_class options.

Note: For details about installing the necessary options and associating LDAP groups with access types, see the Online Help.
