Provisioning memberOf
The groups that a member is a member of may be provisioned to the memberOf attribute. Some LDAP implementations, such as Active Directory, automatically maintain the memberOf attribute. OpenLDAP maintains the memberOf attribute via the memberOf overlay.

Provisioning Structure
The group provisioning structure may be either flat or bushy. A flat structure provisions all groups into a single container. A bushy structure provisions groups hierarchically.
For example, the DN of a group with name 'edu:stem:group' in a flat structure looks like :
dn: cn=edu:stem:group,ou=groups,dc=example,dc=edu
while the DN of a group with name 'edu:stem:group' in a bushy structure looks like :
dn: cn=group,ou=stem,ou=edu,ou=groups,dc=example,dc=edu
