Thanks for the info. However the issue is that groups are not stored as
uniqueMember but uniqueGroup so the roleSearch is not applicable.
Thanks,
Travis

roleSearch will be used for every group found.
Given your config and your groups/persons are as follows
dn: cn=group1,ou=...
cn: group1
uniqueMember: cn=person1,ou=...
dn: cn=group2,ou=...
cn: group2
uniqueMember: cn=group1,ou=...
dn: cn=person1,ou=...
cn: person1
mail: person1@...
When you log in as person1@... first thing the realm does is to look up
dn for that person using mail=person1@...
It will get dn: cn=person1,ou=... as dn and will try roleSearch with {0}
equal the newly found dn.
So the next lookup is uniqueMember=cn=person,ou=... which gives us
cn=group1,ou=...
The attribute cn of that group will be stored as a role. Since
nestedRoles is enabled it will now do a new search with roleSearch and
the dn (and cn in your case).
The lookup will be uniqueMember=cn=group1,ou=... which will give us
cn=group2,ou=... and again the cn (group2) will be stored.
So after that your user will have two roles (group1, group2).
It looks to me that the logic for nested roles is reverse to the one you
expected.
If you want to get debug output, you can put the line
org.apache.catalina.realm.JNDIRealm.level = FINE
at the end of your conf/logging.properties. The attribute debug in your
realm definition is being ignored (and invalid).
