LDAP synchronization - diferrent group names mapping

Hello,
we have an LDAP synchronization enabled and everything is working fine. Now we have a new request - we need to have different user groups names in LDAP system and different user groups names in Alfresco (after sync). For example, in LDAP there are user groups with cn names "AAA" and "BBB" and we need to have different group names in Alfresco, for example "CCC" and "DDD". Users from group "AAA" are then synced into Alfresco group "CCC" etc. Is in Alfresco any way to achieve this? Any kind of mapping table in the config file?
Thanks o lot for any ideas how to resolve this issue.

no alfresco does not do this.  Although its probably an easy enhancement.   Can your group CCC simply contain AAA? Or is it more dynamic than that.

As usually, your comment was very helpfull to me! Today I created in Alfresco my "virtual" groups "CCC" and "DDD" and after sync with LDAP (when new customer groups "AAA" and "BBB" were automatically created in Alfresco), I moved synced groups into the "virtual" groups as subgroups and everything works as I'm expecting. I didn't try this approach before because I thaught, that the new sync with LDAP will allways return mapped subgroups again on base group level with the "virtual" groups.. 🙂 Thanks again a lot!!
