2.5.4.31

member

also known as Member

Group membership as a list of full DNs, one value per member. It is what groupOfNames is built on, and the RFC makes at least one member mandatory, which is why you cannot cleanly create an empty group. Because the values are DNs, renaming or moving a member breaks membership unless the server maintains referential integrity for you.
