Thanks for the explanation Francesco, I can see how this could be a useful
feature.
Using the default standalone server, I created a new group with dynamic
user assignment "ATTRIBUTE, gender, ==, M". When I look at the membership
of the group, I only see "Bellini". However the other users (e.g. Verdi)
also have gender "M". Is there a reason why it is only adding one user to
the group?
Hi Colm,
within test data, only Bellini has the gender attribute with value 'M';
other users don't have any value for it.
Regards.

Hi all,
Just a quick question - could someone outline to me a basic use-case
for
dynamic groups/roles in 2.0.0? There is nothing on the wiki about this
new
feature....
Hi Colm,
the idea is to include such information (and more about new and old
features) in the reference guide, which looks to me as the biggest effort
remaining before 2.0.0 - and help is highly appreciated ;-)
Once done, we will also need to discuss about reorganizing the wiki to
coexist with it.
Anyway, think about the case in which you have a "department" attribute
for users - pulled by Active Directory for example. You can easily select
HR or IT department users in a dynamic group (for propagation onto an
external db) or in a dynamic role (for delegated administration via
console).
But this is just a bare sample, maybe others can come with more.
AFAIR such feature originated from COS templates in Sun Directory Server.
Regards.
