The auto-populated groups feature in Domino 8.5.x is great, but when you run into problems an error message like:
“Search for auto-populated group members failed for group TEST.: Error looking up name on LDAP Server; See server log for further details.”
is not very helpful, because there is no more info in the server log.
Add debug_autopop=2 to the server’s notes.ini and the next time, the autopop process will be more verbose.
