User query should be an ldap formed query that will return all of the users that you wish to cache. Typically this will be something like (objectClass=user) although in our case this brings back computer accounts and we are not interested in these, so we extend the query to exclude these using (&(objectClass=user)(!(objectClass=computer))) instead. Group query is the query to return all groups you wish to cache, typically (objectClass=group).

You also need to specify the Group mapping attribute and whether the Groups hold members.
