Updates to LDAP JazzAdmins group not getting populated

Hi, all.

We are running Jazz server with WebSphere 6.1.0.15 and DB2 9.5. I
have created a group on our LDAP environment for JazzAdmins and a
group for JazzUsers, both of which are mapped to the admins and users
groups in the LDAP configuration of our Jazz server. I initially
populated the JazzAdmins group only on the LDAP server with a few
LDAP users. When LDAPNightlySyncTask ran on the Jazz server, the
LDAP users were added to the local Jazz repository. I then added one
user and removed one from the JazzAdmins group on the LDAP server.
When LDAPNightlySyncTask ran on the Jazz server, nothing was updated
in the local Jazz repository. Then, I added LDAP users to the
JazzUsers group on the LDAP server. When LDAPNightlySyncTask ran on
the Jazz server, these new JazzUsers group additions were populated
to the local Jazz repository.

Does anybody have any ideas why the JazzUsers group updates are
getting populated but the JazzAdmins group updates aren't?

Thanks in advance.
Chris

When talking about the LDAP nightly sync, it's important to remember that only the user data is sync'd, and not the role assignments. The role assignments are always kept in the LDAP server, and queried when needed.

Are you describing that new users added to the JazzAdmins role are not automatically created in the RTC server?

On the LDAP server, I have two groups: one called LDAPJazzAdmins and
one called LDAPJazzUsers. Both of these groups exist on the LDAP
server only. In the Jazz server configuration, I have mapped the
LDAPJazzAdmins LDAP group to the JazzAdmins local repository group
and the LDAPJazzUsers LDAP group to the JazzUsers local repository
group. When I log on to the LDAP server and add a new user to the
LDAPJazzUsers group, the user gets populated to the JazzUsers group
in the local repository. However, when I log on to the LDAP server
and add a new user to the LDAPJazzAdmins group, the user does not get
populated to the JazzAdmins group in the local repository. In my
particular issue, the roles assigned to the user accounts are
irrelevant.

Thanks.
