Updating an LDAP directory 495
Updating a directory entry
The
cfldap
tag lets you change the values of entry attributes. To do so, you specify the entry DN
in the
dn
attribute, and list the attributes to change and their new values in the
attributes
attribute.
The following example builds on the code that adds and deletes an entry. It can update one or
more of an entry’s attributes. Because the UID is part of the DN, you cannot change it.
To update an entry:
1
Open update_ldap.cfm, which you created in “Adding a directory entry” on page 489 .
2
Between the
cfelseif Form.action is "Retrieve"
block and the
</ cfif >
tag, add the
following code:
<cfelseif Form.action is "Update">
<cfset attributelist="cn=#Trim(form.FullName)#; sn=#Trim(Form.surname)#;
mail=#Trim(Form.email)#;
telephonenumber=#Trim(Form.phone)#">
<cfldap action="modify"
modifytype="replace"
attributes="#attributeList#"
dn="uid=#Trim(Form.UID)#, ou=People, o=Airius.com"
server=#myServer#
username=#myUserName#
password=#myPassword#>
<cfoutput><h3>Entry for User ID #Form.UID# has been updated</h3>
</cfoutput>
3
At the end of the code for the Delete button (the
input
tag with
Value=Delete)
at the bottom
of the form
)
, delete the
</td>
mark.
4
After the end of the Delete button
input
tag, add the following code:
&nbsp
<input type="Submit"
name="action"
value="Update"
tabindex="9"></td>
5
Save the file and run it in your browser.
