SUN One LDAP Retrieving Dynamic group

Question

Hi, I would like to know how can I retrieve the groups a user belongs to, if the groups are of dynamic type.
can I use the attribute memberOf?
//Create the initial directory context
LdapContext ctx = new InitialLdapContext(env,*null*);
//Create the search controls
SearchControls searchCtls = new SearchControls();
//Specify the search scope
searchCtls.setSearchScope(SearchControls.SUBTREE_SCOPE);
//specify the LDAP search filter
String searchFilter = "(&(objectClass=user)(CN=Andrew Anderson))";
//Specify the Base for the search
String searchBase = "DC=antipodes,DC=com";
//initialize counter to total the group members
int totalResults = 0;
//Specify the attributes to return
String returnedAtts[]={"*memberOf*"};
searchCtls.setReturningAttributes(returnedAtts);
//Search for objects using the filter
NamingEnumeration answer = ctx.search(searchBase, searchFilter, searchCtls);

Hello Vinay,
when configuring multiple Ldap directories, There are a number of prerequisities that you need to
consider.
For example, One prerequisite for Multi domains is that logon IDs must be unique across mutliple LDAP datasources. This will cause issue if duplicate IDs exist.
Please see the following Documentation and notes for more information on this.
Examples of Data Source Configuration Files - Identity Management - SAP Library
Example: Configuration of Multiple LDAP Data Sources - Identity Management - SAP Library
1618342 - Multiple LDAP Datasources - Active Directories where logon IDs
are not unique
762419 - Multi-Domain Logon Using Microsoft Active Directory
Please have a look at the above notes which documet this and also tells
you what to do in these situations.
