12.4 Directory service configuration for storing NNMi user groups
If you plan to store NNMi user groups in a directory service (configuring for the external mode), the directory service must be configured with NNMi user group information. Ideally, the directory service already contains appropriate user groups. If this is not the case, the directory service administrator can create new user groups specifically for NNMi user group assignment.
Because directory service configuration and maintenance procedures depend on the specific directory service software and your company's policies, those procedures are not documented here.
