Internet Express for Tru64 UNIX Version 6.8 Administration Guide (14233)

• The add attribute dialog box presents only choices allowed by the schema.
• Multiple values cannot be added for attributes defined as single-valued by the schema.
• When objectClass attribute values are removed or modified, attributes that are no longer
allowed as a result of the change are removed, after warning the user first.
• When objectClass attribute values are added or modified, newly required attributes that
do not already exist in the entry are automatically added.
11.2.3.6 Adding a New Directory Entry
To add a new directory entry:
1. From the main window, choose the parent for the new entry.
2. Choose the Add Entry submenu beneath the Edit menu.
3. Choose a template to use for the new entry.
Entry templates define which object classes a new entry will belong to and which attributes
will be included in the entry creation form by default. Several default templates are provided.
See Section 11.2.3.16: Creating Entry Templates for information on how to create more.
4. Once a template is selected, a form will appear that allows the new entry's parent and
attributes to be defined. Use the + and - buttons next to the attributes to add additional
values or to remove existing values for the attribute.
Attributes not present in the form can also be added through an option in the form's Edit menu.
Another option in the form's Edit menu determines whether attribute values left blank are ignored
(the default) or are communicated to the LDAP server. Attributes can have either string or binary
values. The binary value editor allows binary attribute values (such as JPEG files, certificates,
and so on) to be loaded from a file. The current value can also be saved to a file.
11.2.3.7 Modifying a Directory Entry
To modify a directory entry:
1. From the main window, choose an entry.
2. From the Edit menu or from the entry's context-sensitive pop-up menu, choose Modify
entry.
A form similar to the one used for adding entries will appear, allowing the entry's attributes
to be modified or deleted, and new attributes to be added.
11.2.3.8 Deleting a Directory Entry
To delete a directory entry:
1. From the main window, choose one or more entries.
2. From the Edit menu, choose Delete entry.
3. Respond to the confirmation prompt.
Deleting an entry will delete not just the entry but all its descendants, so use this function with
care.
11.2.3.9 Copying a Directory Entry
To copy a directory entry:
1. From the main window, choose an entry.
2. From the Edit menu or from the entry's context-sensitive pop-up menu, choose Copy entry.
3. Enter the copy parameters in the resulting dialog box. If the entry is copied to the same
parent, a different RDN value for the new entry should be specified; otherwise, an underscore
and a sequence number will be appended to the RDN attribute to distinguish it from the
original entry.
