# GroupDN

The group object that the user must belong to. If the repository uses LDAP security, `GroupDN` allows you to specify a group object that the user must belong to for successful authentication.

Set `GroupDN` to the distinguished name (DN) for the group that the user must belong to. You can use GroupMemberAttribute to specify an attribute to check to determine whether the user is a member of the group.

NOTE: This parameter overrides the GroupDN configuration parameter for the action.
