Using Web Administration

Edit online

You can create unique attributes using the instructions provided here at Web Administration Tool.

About this task

Expand the Server administration category in the navigation area. Click Manage unique attributes.

Procedure

  1. Select the attribute that you want to add as a unique attribute from the Available attributes menu. The available attributes listed are those that can be designated as unique. For example, sn.Note: An attribute remains in the list of available attributes until it has been placed in both the cn=localhost and the cn=IBMpolicies containers.
  2. Click either Add to cn=localhost or Add to cn=IBMpolicies. The difference between these two containers is that cn=IBMpolicies entries are replicated and cn=localhost entries are not. The attribute is displayed in the appropriate list box. You can list the same attribute in both containers.Note: If an entry is created under both cn=localhost and cn=IBMpolicies, the resultant union of these two entries is the consolidation of their unique attributes list. For example, if the attributes cn and employeeNumber are designated as unique in cn=localhost and the attributes cn and telephoneNumber are designated as unique on cn=IBMploicies, the server treats the attributes cn, employeeNumber, and telephoneNumber as unique attributes.
  3. Repeat this process for each attribute you want to add to the attribute cache.Note: Starting with the IBM® Security Directory Server 6.3 release, attribute cache is deprecated. Henceforth, users should avoid using attribute cache.
  4. Click OK to save your changes or click Cancel to exit this panel without making any changes.
