Thank you that does work but it takes a very long time since there are 10's
of thousands of groups and many have thousands of users. Using that search
means that both the uniqueMember and uniqueGroup are searched initially
instead of just searching for users member ship first then searching for
uniqueGroups. What is really needed is a separate search string for nested
groups, something like subRoleSeacrh in the context configuration which the
realm can use if roleNested is true.
Thanks,
Travis

You could try a roleSearch="|(uniqueMember={0})(uniqueGroup={0})". The
{i} should be replaced multiple times.
