This is achieved by asking the directory for all the groups a given user (by distinguished name) is a member of but this needs a second LDAP query for which we need a second DataConnector
which takes, as its input, the DN of the resolved user object.
Ensure your existing LDAP Data Connector provides the
dn
ordistinguishedName
attribute.Create a new LDAP Data Connector with an
InputDataConnector
element referencing the existing one.Set the search filter to
(member:1.2.840.113556.1.4.1941:=${attributename.get(0)})
The results of the search will be a set of Group objects so tell the data connector it can have any number of responses (
maxResultsSize="0"
)The attributes returned will be collated into a set and made available to the resolver.

You now have two (probably multi-valued) attributes available to use. For example you could map them into an affiliation or turn them into entitlements.
