Set Large Group Name Length for NIS Daemon

Specify the maximum number of characters to use in group names when groups with a large number of members are split into multiple new groups. Because some devices that submit NIS requests have limitations on the length of group names, you can use this parameter to specify the maximum length for group names.

When the adnisd process splits the group membership for a large group into multiple smaller groups, it truncates the original group name as needed to append the suffix defined in the Set large group suffix for NIS daemon group policy and not exceed the number of characters specified by this group policy. For example, if you have a large group named worldwide-all-corp, and have defined the suffix string as -all and the maximum length for group names as 10, when the worldwide-all-corp group membership is split into multiple groups, the groups are named as follows:

world-all1world-all2world-all3world-all3

If this group policy is not enabled, the maximum group name length is 1024 characters by default.

This group policy modifies the nisd.largegroup.name.length setting in the agent configuration file.
