Hi guys, is there anyway to create local groups rather then pull from LDAP for the groups? Our AD is HUGE with thoasands of groups… I want to create the groups locally is there anyway?
I managed to kinda work around this, by creating a new ou and creating the groups under that ou and using a group filter via creating a group called “APP_jabber”
(&(objectCategory=group)(memberOf=cn=APP_jabber,ou=App,ou=_Groups,dc=blah,dc=com ))
For the user filter i did
(&(objectCategory=person)(|(objectClass=contact)(objectClass=user))
(memberOf=cn=APP_jabber,ou=App,ou=_Groups,dc=blah,dc=com))
I added groups to the APP_jabber which were the group names i wanted displayed in jabber and also added users to APP_jabber who were also to be displayed in the users.
I hope this helps anyone else out attempting this…
What i did is setup LDAP normally and then went to settings and modified the parameter provider.group.className with the default value (**org.jivesoftware.openfire.group.DefaultGroupProvider) **and then restarting the server.
With that, you can use LDAP for users and organize them into OpenFire groups.**

This is how I do my groups. It keeps everything nice and clean for me. Once its setup, it pretty much lets me manage everything from AD.
Cheers for the info guys
