⁠9.2.5. Mapping Groups to different contexts

Sometimes may be useful to map a specific group to a specific context or DN.
The following configuration maps the group with path /QA Group to ou=QA,ou=Groups,dc=jboss,dc=org 
​mapping(Group.class)
​  .baseDN(embeddedServer.getGroupDnSuffix())
​  .objectClasses(GROUP_OF_NAMES)
​  .attribute("name", CN, true)
​  .readOnlyAttribute("createdDate", CREATE_TIMESTAMP)
​  .parentMembershipAttributeName("member")
​  .parentMapping("QA Group", "ou=QA,ou=Groups,dc=jboss,dc=org")
With this configuration you can have groups with the same name, but with different paths. 
​IdentityManager identityManager = getIdentityManager();
​Group managers = new SimpleGroup("managers");      
​
​identityManager.add(managers); // group's path is /manager 
​                  
​Group qaGroup = identityManager.getGroup("QA Group");        
​Group managersQA = new SimpleGroup("managers", qaGroup);
​
​// the QA Group is mapped to a different DN.
​Group qaManagerGroup = identityManager.add(managersQA); // group's path is /QA Group/managers
