When Groups of Uses are bound to the JumpCloud LDAP Directory, LDAP groups will be created. For more information about JumpCloud Groups, see Getting Started: Groups.
   

1. Create a new group. The group Name will correspond to its cn in groupOfNames. 
     - (Optional) Create a Linux group name and GID, this will correspond with the cn in the posixGroup objectClass. Linux group names are case sensitive. 
   NOTE: Some LDAP enabled resources require this option for LDAP group presentation.
     - (Optional) Enable Samba Authentication. See Enabling Samba with JumpCloud LDAP for more information.
   
   
2. On the Users tab, select the users to belong to this group
   
   
    
3. On the Directories tab, bind the group to LDAP by selecting JumpCloud LDAP from the list
   
   
    

Save your configuration. A group configured as above will yield the following within LDAP:

The Name of the group will defined in the groupOfNames objectClass:

# extended LDIF
#
# LDAPv3
# base  with scope subtree
# filter: (&(objectClass=groupOfNames)(cn=LDAP Fileserver))
# requesting: ALL
#

Optionally, if 'Create Linux group for this user group' you must provide a name different from the above so it is unique for the posixGroup, also specify the desired GID. This will become a group defined in the posixGroup ObjectClass:

# extended LDIF
#
# LDAPv3
# base  with scope subtree
# filter: (&(objectClass=posixGroup)(cn=ldapfileserver))
# requesting: ALL
#
