Managing Modify DN Requests

Modifying a DN where the new entry remains in the same partition as the original entry is supported. However, by default, Sun OpenDS Standard Edition proxy does not allow users to modify the DN to a value that is outside the range of the current partition.

If you want to allow modifyDN requests to change the DN to a value that is outside the boundaries of the partition in which the entry is originally, then you must set the force-modify-dn flag to true.

For example, assuming you have set the force-modify-dn flag to true and you have two partitions: Partition 1 with uid boundaries from 0–999 and Partition 2 with uid boundaries from 1000–1999. If you want to modify an entry with the uid 1 to 1001, the change will be allowed, but the entry with the uid 1001 will remain in Partition 1. It is not moved to Partition 2.

If you then search for uid=1001, you will get an error indicating that no such entry is found. To be able to find the entry, you should use a global index catalog. This will ensure that the entries that are modified are always found. To configure a global index catalog, see Configuring the Global Index.

To set force-modify-dn flag to true, use the command as follows:

$ dsconfig -h localhost -p 4444 -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w password -X -n \
  --advanced set-workflow-element-prop \
  --element-name distrib-we \
  --set force-modify-dn:true \
