# External User Group Properties dialog box

Use this dialog box to define external user group properties.

Option | Definition
--- | ---
Name | Specify the user group name in the directory.
RDN | Relative Distinguished Name (RDN): Specify a unique group name for the user to identify in a directory. Note: This field is displayed, if only the Engine has access to the external directory server.
DN | Distinguished Name (DN): This is the full directory path of the user group. It is inherited from the Authentication Domain to which the user group belongs. Note: This field is displayed, if only the Engine has access to the external directory server.
Group Objecti (Optional) | Enter the object ID of the user group. This links the object ID of the user group to the user group name in SMC. Note: Linking the object ID is essential for user authentication, especially if the authentication method uses only group object ID.
Comment | An optional comment for your own reference.
Authentication Domain | Shows the Authentication Domain to which the user belongs.
