1. Create memberof_config.ldif file

   dn: cn=module,cn=config
   cn: module
   objectClass: olcModuleList
   olcModuleLoad: memberof
   olcModulePath: /usr/lib/ldap
   
   dn: olcOverlay={0}memberof,olcDatabase={1}hdb,cn=config
   objectClass: olcConfig
   objectClass: olcMemberOf
   objectClass: olcOverlayConfig
   objectClass: top
   olcOverlay: memberof
   olcMemberOfDangling: ignore
   olcMemberOfRefInt: TRUE
   olcMemberOfGroupOC: groupOfNames
   olcMemberOfMemberAD: member
   olcMemberOfMemberOfAD: memberOf

2. Create refint1.ldif file

   dn: cn=module{1},cn=config
   add: olcmoduleload
   olcmoduleload: refint

3. Create refint2.ldi file

   dn: olcOverlay={1}refint,olcDatabase={1}hdb,cn=config
   objectClass: olcConfig
   objectClass: olcOverlayConfig
   objectClass: olcRefintConfig
   objectClass: top
   olcOverlay: {1}refint
   olcRefintAttribute: memberof member manager owner

4. To set up the memberof module and configure it, run this command:

   sudo ldapadd -Q -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -f memberof_config.ldif

5. To load and configure the refint module

   sudo ldapmodify -Q -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -f /tmp/refint1.ldif
   sudo ldapadd -Q -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -f /tmp/refint2.ldif

Every group created before this module is enabled has to be deleted and remade in order for these changes to take effect. LDAP assigns a "member" attribute behind the scenes to existing users when creating a group.
