Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Mark Cairney <>]

Hi,

We put the following in our psp.xml:

   <!-- The ldap group "member" attribute. -->
    <references name="member" emptyValue="">

This creates a single blank "member" attribute in the group and broadly
matches how we tackled this issue on our Grouper 1.5 installation.
