Sun Java System Directory Proxy Server 5 2004Q2

> Network Group Data Hiding View Subtree Tab
> Directory Proxy Server network groups describe how to identify an LDAP client, and the restrictions to enforce for clients that match that group. Clients are initially identified into a group based on the network address from which they connect. They may change their group after a successful bind.

> Network groups are tested in the descending order of priority, specified by their placement in the Network Group window. In this window, groups on the bottom of the list have less priority than those towards the top. If no groups are found to match a client, the client's request will be rejected. There must be at least one group entry in the configuration specification.

> Clients are identified to belong to this network group based on their IP address and/or domain name.

> Group name. Enter the group name that specifies the name of the group. This value must be unique within the set of groups. This value must be present as it forms the RDN of entries of this class.

> Enable. By default, this option is selected for you. Deselect it to disable a group in a configuration. For a group to be part of Directory Proxy Server configuration, this option must be selected.

> Hiding a subtree of entries. Operations that request entries at or below a forbidden subtree will be rejected with an insufficient access error. Entries that match a search filter and are inside a forbidden subtree are dropped. Note that this option does not remove DN syntax attributes whose values fall under the subtree from entries that are being returned as part of the result.

> Add... Displays a dialog box to add a distinguished name to a list of the base of a subtree of entries to be excluded. The default, if distinguished names are not present in a network group, is to allow access to all entries in the directory. An entry in the list has dn syntax.

> Edit... Displays a dialog box to edit a distinguished name.

> Remove. Removes a distinguished name from the list.
