Using Web Administration

Edit online

Use this information to work with the Web administration to modify an entry.

Procedure

  1. Expand the Directory management category in the navigation area if you are not done so already. Then, click Manage entries.
    You can expand the various subtrees and select the entry that you want to work on. Click Edit attributes or click the name of the RDN® of an entry in the RDN column to open the Edit attributes panel.
  2. View the object class inheritance for the entry in the Object class menu.
    Object classes are sorted by inheritance.
  3. In the Relative DN field, change the relative distinguished name (RDN) of the entry that you are editing.
    For example, change cn=Bob Garcia to cn=Robert Garcia.
  4. In the Parent DN field, the distinguished name of the tree entry that you selected is displayed.
    If your server supports the modifyDN operation (starting with IBM® Security Directory Server version 6.0), you can modify the Parent DN with a new superior attribute on a leaf node. You can either edit this field or you can do the following steps to change the Parent DN of the entry:
    1. Click Browse.
    2. Select a Parent DN from the list, and click Select.
  5. At the Required attributes tab, enter the values for the expected attributes.
    Note:
    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. For multi-valued attributes, if an attribute has values more than the maximum number of values to return for each attribute limit, then the values of the attribute is displayed by using a combination box. The number of the values that are displayed are equal to the value of the limit. Also, for this attribute the Multiple values button is not displayed and a message that indicates this attribute value truncation is displayed.
    3. If an attribute requires binary data, click Binary data. See Binary data for attributes
    4. If your server has language tags that are enabled, click Language tag value to add or remove language tag descriptors. For more information, see Language tags and Adding language tag values.
    5. If an attribute contains referrals, click Manage referral. For more information, see Referrals and Creating default referrals.
  6. Click Optional attributes.
  7. At the Optional attributes tab, enter the values as appropriate for the other attributes.
  8. Click OK to modify the entry.
    Note: If an entry has more attributes than the maximum number of attributes to return for each entry limit, then the entry is returned with all the values of attributes. This entry is returned until the maximum number of attributes to return for each entry limit is reached. The attributes for which no values are returned are displayed at the lower-end of the panel. These attributes are displayed along with a message to indicate that the entry is not complete.
