etc_group Module

The etc_group module provides group names from the /etc/group file.

Please see the csv module for full documentation on the configuration items used here.

Configuration Settings

The csv module configuration for the /etc/group file. The module adds a Etc-Group-Name attribute for every group that the user is a member of.

You will have to define the Etc-Group-Name in the dictionary file, as a string type. For example:

We cannot use the Group attribute here. The Group attribute is automatically created by the unix module, and checked against /etc/group automatically. Which means that the Group attribute has a pre-defined meaning, and you cannot use it for this module.

The field names are just place-holders. They are NOT attribute names!

Add the ETC-Group-Name attribute to the request list. If the user is a member of multiple groups, then the module will add multiple ETC-Group-Name attributes, one for each group.

The field names from the fields entry above are used here in the right-hand side of the update section.
