Subject: LDAP and Hierarchical Groups
Feedback Type: Problem
Product Area: Domino Server
Technical Area: Security
Platform: Windows 2003 server
Release: 8.0.2
Reproducible: Always

We are working to integrate Domino LDAP as the authentication mechanism for the Cognos BI server. We run into problems with Domino groups. Having set the LDAP Base Distinguished Name to O=TipTop, groups do not show up as part of the LDAP tree since there is no O associated with group names. Cognos does not accept a blank base dn. We can move groups into the TipTop tree by adding /TipTop to the group name. This stores as CN=Region1/O=TipTop, but Notes complains about slashes not being recommended in group names.

Question: Will adding an O to a group name break any of the normal group functionality in Notes / Domino, e.g. ACL, Reader & Author fields, Roles, mail routing, hide-when formulas, etc.?
