How does Portal search for Users in LDAP Groups?

We use an ApacheDS as LDAP server to manage users of multiple software systems. I have successfully configured Portal 11.3 to read users and groups from the LDAP server. User can connect to Portal, Groups can be imported. I am missing the automatic assignment of new users to their groups in Portal. 

I think the reason is the structure of our LDAP: Every LDAP-user has an attribute "memberof" for each group the user is in.

From my understanding, Portal looks for a group and searches the groups "member" attribute to determine, which users are assigned to a group, to automatically assign the Portal-Users to the Portal-Groups, according to the information Portal finds in the LDAP server.

Is it possible to configure Portals search mechanism for the assignment of users to groups?

Hi @Stefan_Offermann

Yes, I think that is possible.  Try removing the "memberAttributeInRoles" from the group store config JSON string and replacing it with "memberOfAttributeInUsers" and setting its value to "memberof".
