Unable to add non-user members to groupOfNames

[pmorch]

Hi,

I've created two "group"s with "Create a child entry -> Default -> ObjectClasses = groupOfNames". They're called "CMGroup" and "Subgroup".

Using phpLDAPadmin I can successfully add users to "CMGroup", but I cannot add "Subgroup" to "CMGroup".

I can do it on the command line if I create: addSubgroup.ldif

dn: cn=CMGroup,ou=Groups,dc=example,dc=com
changetype: modify
add: member
member: cn=Subgroup,ou=Groups,dc=example,dc=com

and then

ldapmodify  <authparams> -f addSubgroup.ldif

Afterwards it looks like this in phpLDAPadmin:

If I now remove "Subgroup" from "Group Members", it appears in "Available Members". But when I save and go back to edit the members of "CMGroup", "Subgroup" no longer shows up in "Available Members" afterwards:

Why doesn't "Subgroup" and other non-users show up in "CMGroup" as "Available Members" using phpLDAPadmin?

I also experienced this bug on the master branch. @leenooks , do you plan on merging 1.2 into master ?

Have you configured the search filter for modify_member?

eg: $config->custom->modify_member['filter'] = '(|(objectclass=Person)(objectclass=GroupOfUniqueNames)(objectclass=posixGroup))';
