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

• The entry can be copied to either the same parent or to a new one.
• Multiple copies of an entry can also be made. By default, an underscore and a sequence
number will be appended to the RDN of each copy to distinguish them from each other.
Alternatively, if a pound sign (#) is included in the new RDN value, the new RDN value
will be generated by replacing the pound sign with a sequence number.
• An entry's descendants can be copied along with the entry itself.
11.2.3.10 Renaming a Directory Entry
Renaming an entry refers to modifying the entry's RDN value while the entry's parent remains
unchanged.
To rename a directory entry:
1. From the main window, choose the entry.
2. From the Edit menu or from the entry's context-sensitive pop-up menu, choose Rename
entry.
3. Enter the entry's new RDN value when prompted.
11.2.3.11 Moving a Directory Entry
Moving an entry refers to reparenting the entry while the entry's RDN remains unchanged.
To move a directory entry:
1. From the main window, choose the entry.
2. From the Edit menu or from the entry's context-sensitive pop-up menu, choose Move entry.
3. Enter the distinguished name of the entry's new parent when prompted.
Note that moving an entry is actually a two-part operation: making a copy of the entry under
the new parent; and deleting the old entry. This operation can fail under some circumstances;
for example when a directory server does not allow two entries in the same directory to have
the same value for a particular attribute, such as a UID.
11.2.3.12 Adding Attributes
To add an attribute:
1. From the main window, choose an entry.
2. From the Edit menu or from the attribute list's context-sensitive pop-up menu, choose Add
attribute.
3. Specify the name and type of the attribute to be added, and then specify one or more values
for the attribute in the resulting form.
11.2.3.13 Modifying Attributes
To modify an attribute:
1. From the main window, choose an entry.
2. From the Edit menu or from the attribute list's context-sensitive pop-up menu, choose Modify
attribute.
3. Modify the values for the attribute in the resulting form.
11.2.3.14 Deleting Attributes
To delete an attribute:
1. From the main window, choose an entry.
2. From the Edit menu or from the attribute list's context-sensitive pop-up menu, choose Delete
attribute.
3. Choose whether to delete only the selected values for the attributes or whether to delete all
values for the selected attributes.
