The Set Attributes step in the New Group window allows you to enter both required and optional information for the group. Required fields are preceded by an asterisk (*).

Directory Server
Identifies the directory server in which the group directory entry resides. The drop-down list displays all of the established servers. You can put groups in any established directory server.

Read-only directory servers are not displayed in the list.
You can establish directory services by setting up JNDI adapter entries through the Info*Engine Property Administrator and adding the adapter entries to the wt.federation.org.directoryServices property value.

If you do not enter a domain in this field, Windchill determines which domain to set according to the domain algorithm that is in place. For information about domains, seeAbout Domain Administration.
