Hi everybody,
we are at the point of reorganising our LDAP. Currently we only have posixGroups, but in future we also want to support groupOfNames or groupOfUniqueNames My question what is the common sense of usage ? groupOfNames or groupOfUniqueNames ?
I know your answers, you will say "it depends on your applications" but currently I have no application using it. All my current applications use my posixGroups. I just want to extend my LDAP for future use cases.
So what to take : groupOf Names or groupOfUniqueNames besides posixGroup ?
I would vote for groupOfnames. If you prefer groupOfUniqueNames you should provide uniqueness.
https://ldapwiki.com/wiki/GroupOfUniqueNames%20vs%20groupOfNames https://ldapwiki.com/wiki/UniqueMember
The use of posixgroup depends on your requirements.
Actually I had never considered adding suplicates to a groupOfNames, mostly because I cannot imaging a use case; anyone have a usew case?
