Question: What is Login Name Attribute and Group Membership Attribute?

Answer:

Login Name Attribute: The type of identifier the users are to use to log in. For example “name” or “email address”

Group Membership Attribute: An AD server defines attributes for its accounts. Enter the name of the attribute that the Firewall is to check to determine to which group a user belongs. The value for this attribute is called a group identifier; it determines to which group a user belongs. You can add ext-groupuser user objects to identify groups based on these group identifier values.
For example you could have an attribute named “memberOf” with values like “sales”, “RD”,
and “management”. Then you could also create a ext-group-user user object for each group.
One with “sales” as the group identifier, another for “RD” and a third for “management”.
