How-to-configure-LDAP-property-file-if-user-and-group-belong-to-different-domain-let-say-group-is-in-domain-and-user-is-in-sub-domain

The URL for the LDAP server where all the users and groups reside is 
ldap://corp.tibco.com.com:389/DC=corp,DC=tibco,DC=com

Given this group DN
=====================================================================
CN=Composite_ReadOnly,OU=Privileged Groups,OU=_restricted,DC=corp,DC=tibco,DC=com
{=====================================================================
And this set of LDAP users
======================================================================

I am  going to test adding the different OUs to the user search for users in different locations (DBL, SMO, etc.). Note that the user search path includes the subdomain (DC=noam or DC=euro). 

*************************************************************************************************************************************************
corp.frk.com.user.search.context=OU=Users,OU=SMO,DC=noam|OU=Users,OU=DBL,DC=noam|OU=Users,OU=HYD,DC=euro
*************************************************************************************************************************************************
In Web Manager, I have  added a new external domain using the URL above, added the Composite_ReadOnly group, and gave it the appropriate permissions. . 

Note that you can make changes in ldap.properties without restarting the TDV server. The file is reread every time someone logs in or a change is made in Web Manager.
  
I have added  these below  settings in ldap.properties as per the  above require 

corp.tibco.com.max.page.size=1000

corp.tibco.com.all.users.search.context=
corp.tibco.com.all.users.filter=(&(objectCategory=person)(objectclass=user))
