Creating Directory Entries
This chapter discusses how to use the Directory Server Console and the
ldapmodify
and
ldapdelete
command-line utilities to modify the contents of
your directory.
During the planning phase of your directory deployment, you should characterize
the types of data that your directory will contain. You should read Netscape
Directory Server Deployment Guide before creating entries and modifying the
default schema.
This chapter consists of the following sections:
• Managing Entries From the Directory Console (page 41)
• Managing Entries From the Command Line (page 50)
• LDIF Update Statements (page 58)
• Maintaining Referential Integrity (page 68)
Managing Entries From the Directory Console
You can use the Directory tab and the Property Editor on the Directory Server
Console to add, modify, or delete entries individually.
If you want to add several entries simultaneously, you can use the command-line
utilities described in “Managing Entries From the Command Line,” on page 50.
