# Group

The LDAP user directory that users belong to.

If you set KeyUserName, IDOL Server searches the `Group` and its subdirectories for the user name that you provide in the action within the KeyUserName attribute.

If you set RDNAttribute, IDOL uses `Group`, together with the RDNAttribute unique field name, to form the distinguished name (`dn`) of a user.

NOTE: You must use the standard LDAP format.

To use the LDAP security type, you must either set this parameter in the configuration file, or set the Group action parameter for the UserRead or Security action. You can also use the Group action parameter to override this parameter for individual actions.

Type: | String
Default: |
Required: | No
Configuration Section: | `MySecurityRepository`
Example: | `Group=ou=technical,o=mycompany RDNAttribute=UID` In this example, the distinguished name of a user with the UID (user ID) `user1` is `uid=user1,ou=technical,o=mycompany`
