Environment

Novell eDirectory 8.8.2 FTF2 for NetWare 6.5 SP7

Situation

Customer upgraded a NetWare 6.5 SP7 eDirectory 8.7.3.9 ftf2 to 8.8.2 ftf2.

Nested group schema was already extended in the 8.7.3 environment for an IDM solution with no intention of enabling nested groups.
After upgrading to 8.8.2 nested groups became enabled.
Setting the nestedConfig attribute to 1 does not disable nested groups like it is supposed to.

Resolution
