!!! Overview

!! [Group], [groupOfUniqueNames], [groupOfNames]
Generally we find these three "names" used for [{$pagename}] Names.

! What is the difference? 
For the difference of [groupOfUniqueNames vs groupOfNames] is pretty clear.

For the difference between [groupOfUniqueNames vs groupOfNames] and [Group], it is more difficult.
Some [LDAP Server Implementations] will alias [Group] to [groupOfNames]. Usually, [groupOfUniqueNames] will be a separate and distinct name. 
* [EDirectory] does alais all three as group.
* [Microsoft Active Directory] has implemented their own [Group] with a separate [OID|1.2.840.113556.1.5.8]. [Microsoft Active Directory] does also provide the "standard" [groupOfUniqueNames].

!! [DynamicGroups] and [Static groups]
Generally [{$pagename}]s are:
* [DynamicGroups]
* [Static groups] 
* [Virtual static groups] - Some [LDAP Server Implementations] groups can be [Virtual static groups] (ie both).

!! [Groups Are Bad]
We have never understood the fascination with groups within [LDAP]. We find they serve little purpose from an [LDAP] perspective.

!! [Active Directory Groups]
[Microsoft Active Directory] implements their own [Group] which has some [interesting facets|Active Directory Groups]

!! [Groups Edirectory]
[eDirectory] has some [interesting facets|Groups Edirectory]

!! [Group Fix Tool]
Our [Group Fix Tool] for [eDirectory] will correct the [groupMembership] from an existing [member] attribute on the group.

!! [PosixGroup]
The [PosixGroup] is used for [POSIX] group implementations and is used with [PAM_LDAP]

!! [groupOfEntries]
This object class allows groups to be empty.  In all other respects [groupOfEntries] behaves like the [groupOfNames] object class.
