This new menu allows to list user groups based on groupofnames and for each group to list the users that belong to it.

Hello @olivierguillard, thanks a lot for this proposition. I don't think we can include it like that, as it involves a lot of code duplication. I will think about a better way to display/search any objects.

Yep, I understand and to be honnest thought about it. After a while, I wondered if that was really necessary to display "any objects" ? At the end the central object for white-pages stays the "inetOrgPerson" class IMHO, after GROUPS are the natural and usual way to distribute (sort) people in a directory. Therefore, the ability to display groups would dramatically enhance the product I thing. Do you see any other kind of objects that would need to be displayed in white pages ? I have written also a patch for posix groups but the result is much better with "groupOfNames" since you can reach to the personal objects directly from the group which is not the case with posixgroups. Anyway, the patch I propose is doing the job for my needs, if I can help to anything to enhance the idea, let me know. Best

There other objects like organizationalUnit or specific custom objects that can be interesting to display.

For posixGroup, you need to create a new type to be able to display the corresponding member entry. See also #20.

Anyway, your patch may indeed be useful for a lot of people, thanks!

Hello @olivierguillard, thanks again for taking time to contribute to the project.

I will not merge this pull request as I implemented it without creating separate pages. The feature will be available in 0.2 version.
