Environment

Novell eDirectory 8.5 FTF4  for All Platforms

Situation

When adding users to existing groups with ldap, 4 attributes are modified:

   1. Add the User to the Member attribute of the Group object
   2. Add the User to the Equivalent To Me attribute of the Group object
   3. Add the Group to the Group Membership attribute of the User object
   4. Add the Group to the Security Equals attribute of the User object

After updating server code to 8.8.5 FTF4, modifications to the User object returns an error code of -614.  The "securityEquals" attribute is populated, but the "groupMembership" is not.

Resolution

Changes were made with the 8.8.5 ftf4 code specific to modifications to the User object in this process.  You only need to update the "groupMembership" attribute.  The"securityEquals" will be populated automatically.
