Sun Java System Directory Proxy Server 5 2004Q2

> Network Group Compatibility View
> 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.

> Enabled. 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.

> Enable LDAP v2 clients to bind multiple times over a single session. The LDAP v2 specification (RFC 1777) does not allow a client to bind multiple times in one session. However, some clients expect this functionality. Check this option to enable a group to allow a client to bind multiple times in one session.

> Enable clients to submit requests with empty attribute type names. The LDAP v3 specification (RFC 2252) does not allow submit requests to use empty attribute type names as part of the search request in the search attribute description list. Check this option to enable clients with broken implementations to operate with Directory Proxy Server.
