Search Filter by Group

Hi all,

    I'm new to this list and 389 Directory, I have what I think is a simple question but I've spent a couple of days looking for this answer without success. It could be I'm asking the wrong question. I have a 389 installation which an application will use to authenticate a pool of users. I was able to successfully configure the LDAP admin user to connect and pull the list of users (ou=mygroup, dc=domain) but the problem comes up when I want to narrow the list of possible users. Meaning, only allowing members of a certain group to be queried and authenticated against. 

    I'm generally new to directory services, though I have some experience with managing users through MS AD. The ou=group which contains the memberUid's is directly above the group and users which I'm able to successfully pull. For example, the location I need to filter users from is cn=myusergroup,ou=groups. The cn=myusergroup entry has a drop down field called memberUid which contains the members of the group. Getting the list of these users to work in a search filter is the problem I'm having. 

The individual entries for each user are sparsely populated with fields and don't contain samaccountname but use UID instead. As I understand this is not a problem. Also, in each user entry there are no references to the group which they are a part of.

   I'm using Ldapsearch to test the search filters and Apache Directory Studio to browse the directory. In my last experience in MS AD, I believe I just added the group attributes in each user entry as needed. Though, I'm new to 389 and want to do best practices as opposed to workarounds. 

   Any advice you could give is very much appreciated and or recommended references. The documentation I've found so far doesn't seem to connect.

-Saul
