LDIF Update Statements
Chapter
2
Creating Directory Entries
69
For example, you could use the following
ldapmodify
command:
prompt% ldapmodify -D
userDN
-w
user_passwd
>version: 1
>dn: cn=Barney Fife,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com
>changetype: modify
>add: userCertificate
>userCertificate;binary:< file: BarneysCert
Changing an Attribute Value Using LDIF
Use
changetype:modify
with the replace operation to change all values of an
attribute in an entry.
For example, the following LDIF update statement changes Barney’s manager from
Sally Nixon to Wally Hensford:
dn: cn=Barney Fife,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com
changetype: modify
replace: manager
manager: cn=Wally Hensford, ou=People, dc=example,dc=com
If the entry has multiple instances of the attribute, then to change one of the
attribute values, you must delete the attribute value that you want to change, and
then add the replacement value. For example, consider the following entry:
cn=Barney Fife,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com
objectClass: inetOrgPerson
cn: Barney Fife
sn: Fife
telephonenumber: 555-1212
telephonenumber: 555-5678
To change the telephone number 555-1212 to 555-4321, use the following LDIF
update statement:
dn: cn=Barney Fife,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com
changetype: modify
delete: telephonenumber
telephonenumber: 555-1212
-
add: telephonenumber
telephonenumber: 555-4321
NOTE
You can use the standard LDIF notation only with the
ldapmodify
command, not with other command-line utilities.
