Settings that affect nested groups in policy assignments
Certain settings configure how Sametime® considers nested groups when it applies policies and how many levels deep that Sametime searches for the highest weighted group.
The following settings affect the behavior of policies assigned to nested groups.
| Setting | Description | Possible Values |
|---|---|---|
| Maximum Nested Group Depth | Specifies the number of levels of nested groups Sametime searches Note: This
setting only applies to Sametime System
Console and Sametime Meeting
Server policy searches. To change the maximum nested group depth of
the Community Server, edit the DIR_SEARCH_LEVEL_LIMIT parameter of
the Sametime Community
Server sametime.ini file. |
-1 : Sametime searches an infinite
number of levels of nested groups 0 : Applies to direct user assignments only - no group searches are done 1 : Sametime searches within groups, but not nested groups 2 or greater : Sametime searches nested groups up to and including the level specified The default value is 4. |
| Policy Cache Timeout | Specifies how long the Policy Cache stores policy
assignments. This cache reduces the number of database operations
required to provide policy information. For example, if Sametime calculates that Samantha gets Policy A, that information is stored in the cache. The next time that something requests Samantha's policy it can be retrieved from the cache. |
Any number of whole minutes The default value is 30 minutes. |
| Group Membership Cache Timeout | Specifies in minutes how long the Group Membership Cache stores the group membership information. This cache alleviates potential LDAP load issues due to group membership look-ups. You might want to update this timeout to reflect your site's LDAP administration operating procedures. | Any number of whole minutes The default value is 30 minutes. |
