Nested Active Directory groups

DiePlage
Hello folks,

ASG 8.200 does not seem to support nested AD groups (groups that contain groups) for backend authentication. I had in mind that nested groups were on the feature list for that release...
Could anyone please confirm this?
I think I'll make it a feature request then. If you have a large userbase, backend authentication makes the most sense. But if nested groups cannot be used it kind of alleviates the advantages...

Thanks a lot!

    I'm also having the same problem with Astaro 8.200 not able to read groups in groups. ( Nested)  

    I can authenticate, but no groups are read. If i take the AD group out of the nesting, its OK.  This just started happening and was working previously in my version 7.5  and notice it started with certain users in Specific groups.  I did a reboot on the Astaro and that when all fell apart.  I updated to 8.20  but still not resolved.

    What do you mean by "nesting Astaro locally created [/B]Network Groups"As I read the release notes, what you can do is create two backend authentication groups, one for each AD group, and nest those.

    Can you explain this a bit more?


    Thanks
