About this task

Expand the Directory management category in the navigation area.

Procedure

  1. Click Add an entry.
  2. Select a filter object class from the menu and click Refresh.
  3. Select one Structural object class from the list box.
  4. Click Next.
  5. Select a filter object class from the menu and click Refresh.
  6. Select any Auxiliary object classes you want to use from the Available box and click Add. Repeat this process for each auxiliary object class you want to add. You can also delete an auxiliary object class from the Selected box by selecting it and clicking Remove.
  7. Click Next.
  8. In the Relative DN field, enter the relative distinguished name (RDN®) of the entry that you are adding.
    For example, cn=John Doe.
  9. In the Parent DN field, enter the distinguished name of the tree entry you selected.
    for example, ou=Austin, o=sample.
    You can also click Browse to select Parent DN from the list. You can also expand the selection to view other choices lower in the subtree. Specify your choice and click Select to specify the Parent DN that you want. The Parent DN defaults to the entry selected in the tree.
    Note: If you started this task from the Manage entries panel, this field is pre-filled for you. You selected the Parent DN before you click Add to start the add entry process. However, if your server supports the modifyDN operation (starting with IBM® Security Directory Server, version 6.0), the field is still modifiable if the entry is a leaf node. That is, if it has no entries below it, you can move the entry to another Parent DN entry.
  10. In the Required attributes tab, enter the values for the attributes.
    1. If the attribute is multi-valued and you want to add more than one value for a particular attribute, click Multiple values. See Adding multiple values for attributes.
    2. If an attribute requires binary data, click Binary data. See Binary data for attributes.
    3. If your server has language tags that are enabled, click Language tag value to add or remove language tag descriptors. See Language tags and Adding language tag values for more information.
    4. If an attribute contains referrals, click Manage referral. See Referrals and Creating default referrals for more information.
  11. Click Optional attributes.
  12. In the Optional attributes tab, enter the values as appropriate for the other attributes.
  13. Click Finish to create the entry.
  14. After successfully adding an entry, you will be prompted to add a similar entry. To add a similar entry, click Yes. To exit and return to the Manage entries panel, click No.
