Interface ActiveDirectoryPrimaryGroupService

All Superinterfaces:

public interface ActiveDirectoryPrimaryGroupService

extends LifecycleService

ActiveDirectoryPrimaryGroupService defines the interface that enables lookup of a Windows "Primary Group" name via its Group identifier.

NOTE:Every Windows user is assigned to a "Primary Group", which cannot be queried directly via LDAP. Instead, the integer identifier of the Primary Group is queried for the specified user then mapped a Group name. Because the list of all possible groups and their identifiers can be a costly query, implementations of this service may cache the results.
