Ok, I make a mistake and our LDAP db can't, as this, be used by owncloud to use "departmentNumber" field as "group" association because "departmentNumber" is neither "uniqueMember", "memberUid" or "member" LDAP field's type.
As I understand your answer, our only way is to modify our LDAP db with a real group/user association within the LDAP meaning of the term. I thought we could "deduce" this association inside OwnCloud since "departmentNumber" LDAP field is, in fact, such an association in LDAP.
