Issue/Introduction

How can we use the Identity Governance Client Tools to import the groups and link the uniqueMember to the personID?

The LDIF file has the following group information:

dn: cn=mytestgroup1,ou=groups,ou=im,ou=ca,o=com
objectClass: groupOfUniqueNames
objectClass: top
cn: mytestgroup1
o: 0
uniqueMember: uid=testuser1,ou=people,ou=im,ou=ca,o=com
uniqueMember: uid=testuser3,ou=people,ou=im,ou=ca,o=com
uniqueMember: uid=testuser4,ou=people,ou=im,ou=ca,o=com
uniqueMember: uid=testuser2,ou=people,ou=im,ou=ca,o=com
uniqueMember: uid=testuser5,ou=people,ou=im,ou=ca,o=com

Environment

Release : 14.1

Component : GovernanceMinder(Role & Compliance Manager)

Resolution

In the Client Tools select the Import menu and select the option "Import form LDIF File"
