Does Websphere® Application Server support Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) dynamic groups?
 Technote (FAQ)
 
Problem
Does Websphere Application Server support LDAP dynamic groups?

A dynamic group defines its members differently than a static group. Instead of listing members individually, the dynamic group defines its members using an LDAP search.
 
Solution
The concept of LDAP dynamic groups should be transparent to the application using LDAP.

As long as the group is returned in a query for all groups to which a given user belongs, Websphere will use that group for authorization purposes. The group must also be returned in a query for groups.
