object class ITU-T (X.500)
2.5.6.17
groupOfUniqueNames
The same shape as groupOfNames, but membership lives in uniqueMember, whose syntax can pin a DN to a specific incarnation. In practice people choose between the two based on what their tooling expects, not on the unique distinction, which rarely earns its complexity.
