Parent / Child Groups in Portal with LDAP

Question

Heya,
we are using EP 7 on SP 10 (NW 7), for User Authentication we use the UME with a configured (writable) LDAP
Server as backend with a flat hierarchie. We have a Federated Portal Landscape with
3 Portals connected to one "main" portal and using Remote Role Assignement on the main portal for
our right managenemt.
Remote Roles which are added to Groups are working fine, but as soon as we try to use
the parent/child group functionality we are facing the problem that the user who logs on
has no access to anything in this group.
According to http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/af/0cfc3f09c2c442e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm
the only restriction for the use of child / parent groups is that:
"If user management is set up with write access to an LDAP directory, the following restriction applies:
When assigning members to a group that is stored in the LDAP directory, you can only assign users or
groups that are also stored in the LDAP directory. You cannot assign users or groups from the database
to groups from the LDAP directory. "
We fullfill the above condition (everything is LDAP based) - sooo: Any Hints for me / Someone facing
the same problem.
Thanks,
Marco

Hi Murali,
User Configuration
A particular company has the following setup:
●      Two roles: External and Internal
●      The role Internal contains users who also belong to two user groups: N.America and Asia
●      User A belongs to both the role Internal and the user group N.America
●      User B belongs to both the role Internal and the user group Asia
●      User C belongs to the role External
Conditions Defined in Portal Display Rules
1. If Group = N.America
   Then Portal Desktop = Orange Flavor
2. If Role = Internal
   Then Portal Desktop = Green Flavor
3. If Group = Asia
   Then Portal Desktop = Blue Flavor
4. If Role = External
   Then Portal Desktop = Red Flavor
Note that user A matches conditions 1 and 2; (ii) user B matches conditions 2 and 3; and (iii) user C matches condition 4.
Results
According to the list of priorities, these are the results:
●      User A receives portal desktop "Orange Flavor" (according to condition 1 which has priority over rule 2)
●      User B receives portal desktop "Green Flavor" (according to condition 2 which has priority over rule 3)
●      User C receives portal desktop "Red Flavor" (according to condition 4)
still any help on portal disktop rules to can see this link http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/4b/29cf122f414721964269e1b675d62c/frameset.htm
