[Likewise-open-discuss] Authentication of Nested Group Member

Hello.   I've seen topics similar to the issue that I am having but none
seem to match exactly.   Basically I am looking to authenticate a set of
users that exist within a nested group in our AD structure that resides
outside of the users folder.    When I put a group or even a group with
nested groups in the Users folder, I can authenticate without issue.    But
when I try to access a group that exists in another branch outside of the
Users folder, it does not work.

I have been configuring using the require_membership_of field within
pam_lwidentity.conf file

Scenario 1:  require_membership_of = Users\<Group Name>\   ------- This
works
Scenario 2:  require_membership_of = <Folder Name>\<Folder Name>\<Group
Name>\   ------ This does not work

I moved the same group back and forth in scenarios 1 & 2, so it is not an
issue with the specific group that I am trying to access.

Other than a typo in my path which I have checked many times, is there
anything else simple that could be causing this to fail?   Is there any
parameter in lwauthd.conf that can be used to set the start folder for the
path?   Or is this sort of pathing not supported?

Thanks,
scott
