RTC and LDAP Base Group DN Configuration Question
RTC : 3.0.1.4
Currently my RTC is set up with a
BASE Group DN : ou=Funny People,ou=People,DC=clowns,dc=remote
This works very well and no problem.
In Directory Server a new user has been created in ( there are reasons behind this due to nature of this user account ) :
BASE Group DN : ou=Not So Funny People,DC=clowns,dc=remote
Is it possible for me to configure RTC to pickup users from two different Base Group DN ? or is my option to move the " new user
from " ou=Not So Funny People,DC=clowns,dc=remote "
to " ou=Funny People,ou=People,DC=clowns,dc=remote "
I realize this is more an LDAP question but I wanted explore if I can configure RTC to do what I need or am I missing something obvious ?

One answer
Is it possible for me to configure RTC to pickup users from two different Base Group DN ?No, because RTC doesn't pick users up from the base group DN in the first place - it uses the base user DN. The solution in this instance is to modify the base user DN up a level to `dc=clowns,dc=remote` so that you can do a sub-tree search of both OUs.
You will likely also need to modify the LDAP settings of your app server (Tomcat/WAS) to change the base user DN and to ensure sub-tree searching is enabled.
