LDAP: How to add a person to an existing group?

  • 772

Using command-line (Linux) or LDIF, I could find many examples of creating a new group and defining its members, but no examples of this:

How to add a user to an existing group?

Let's say the person also already exists.

For instance adding user uid=fred,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com to group cn=vipb,ou=groups,dc=example,dc=com.

    You add a memberUid attribute to the group. For example:

    $ ldapmodify -D <admin DN> -h <ldaphost>
password: [enter password]
dn: cn=vipb,ou=groups,dc=example,dc=com
changetype: modify
add: memberUid
memberUid: fred

    For the record, the LDAP schema is described in RFC 2307.
