Use the LDIF update statement changetype:modify to make changes to existing directory data. The following procedures provide examples of modifying directory entries.
For more information, see ldapmodify in Sun OpenDS Standard Edition 2.0 Command-Line Usage Guide.
Ensure that there are no trailing spaces after modify.
This example modifies a user's existing telephone number.
$ ldapmodify -h localhost -p 1389 D "cn=Directory Manager" -w password \ dn: uid=Marcia Garza,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com changetype: modify replace: telephonenumber telephonenumber: +1 408 555 8288 Processing MODIFY request for uid=Marcia Garza,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com MODIFY operation successful for DN uid=Marcia Garza,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com
Note - To modify multiple attributes, separate the attributes with a dash (-), for example:
dn: uid=Marcia Garza,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com changetype: modify replace: telephonenumber telephonenumber: +1 408 555 6465 - add: facsimiletelephonenumber facsimiletelephonenumber: +1 408 222 4444 - replace: l l: Sunnyvale
The ldapmodify command provides the options, --preReadAttribute and --postReadAttribute, that return the modified attribute value with a before and after snapshot, respectively.
This example modifies a user's existing telephone number.
$ ldapmodify -h localhost -p 1389 D "cn=Directory Manager" -w password \ --preReadAttributes telephoneNumber --postReadAttributes telephoneNumber dn: uid=Marcia Garza,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com changetype: modify replace: telephonenumber telephonenumber: +1 408 555 8288 Processing MODIFY request for uid=Marcia Garza,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com MODIFY operation successful for DN uid=Marcia Garza,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com Target entry before the operation: dn: uid=Marcia Garza,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com telephonenumber: +1 408 555 4283 Target entry after the operation: dn: uid=Marcia Garza,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com telephonenumber: +1 408 555 8288
This example deletes the location (l) attribute from an entry.
$ ldapmodify -h localhost -p 1389 -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w password dn: uid=Marcia Garza,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com changetype: modify delete: l (Press CTRL-D for Unix, Linux) (Press CTRL-Z for Windows), then press ENTER. Processing MODIFY request for uid=Marcia Garza,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com MODIFY operation successful for DN uid=Marcia Garza,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com
Note - Type control-D (UNIX, Linux) or control-Z (Windows) to complete the input.
The distinguished name (DN) of an entry uniquely identifies and describes that entry. A distinguished name consists of the name of the entry itself as well as the names, in order from bottom to top, of the objects above it in the directory.
The relative distinguished name (RDN) is the leftmost element in an entry DN. For example, the RDN for uid=Marcia Garza,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com is uid=Marcia Garza. To change an RDN, use the changetype:moddn LDIF update statement.
You can specify if the old RDN should be retained in the directory by using the deleteoldrdn attribute. A deleteoldrdn value of 0 indicates that the existing RDN should be retained in the directory. A value of 1 indicates that the existing RDN should be replaced by the new RDN value.
Note - You cannot rename an RDN if it has any children, due to the possible orphaning of the subtree elements. This is a violation of the LDAP protocol.
In this example, an employee Marcia Garza wants to change to her married name, Marcia Peters.
$ ldapmodify -h localhost -p 1389 -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w password dn: uid=Marcia Garza,ou=Marketing,dc=example,dc=com changetype: moddn newrdn: uid=Marcia Peters deleteoldrdn: 1 Processing MODIFY DN request for uid=Marcia Garza,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com MODIFY DN operation successful for DN uid=Marcia Garza,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com
In this example, certain attributes might still list the user's previous name.
$ ldapmodify -h localhost -p 1389 -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w password dn: uid=Marcia Peters,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com changetype: modify replace: sn sn: Peters - replace: cn cn: Marcia Peters - replace: uid uid: mpeters uid: Marcia Peters - replace: mail mail: mpeters@example.com (Press Ctrl-D on Unix, Linux) (Press Ctrl-Z on Windows), then press ENTER. Processing MODIFY request for uid=Marcia Peters,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com MODIFY operation successful for DN uid=Marcia Peters,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com
If you are moving an entry from one parent to another, extend the access control instruction (ACI) rights on the parent entries. On the current parent entry of the entry to be moved, ensure that the ACI allows the export operations by using the syntax allow(export ...). On the future parent entry of the entry to be moved, ensure that the ACI allows the import operations by using the syntax allow(import...).
In this example, move uid=sgarza from the ou=Contractors,dc=example,dc=com suffix to the ou=People,dc=example,dc=com subtree.
$ ldapmodify -h localhost -p 1389 -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w password dn: uid=sgarza,ou=Contractors,dc=example,dc=com changetype: moddn newrdn: uid=sgarza deleteoldrdn: 0 newsuperior: ou=People,dc=example,dc=com --filename move_entry.ldif Processing MODIFY DN request for uid=sgarza,ou=Contractors,dc=example,dc=com MODIFY DN operation successful for DN uid=sgarza,ou=Contractors,dc=example,dc=com
The following example provides before and after snapshot changes for the ou attribute.
$ ldapmodify -h localhost -p 1389 -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w password \ --preReadAttributes ou --postReadAttributes ou dn: uid=sgarza,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com changetype: modify replace: ou ou: People ou: Product Testing (Press Ctrl-D on Unix, Linux) (Press Ctrl-Z on Windows), then press ENTER. Processing MODIFY request for uid=sgarza,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com MODIFY operation successful for DN uid=sgarza,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com Target entry before the operation: dn: uid=sgarza,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com ou: Contractors ou: Product Testing Target entry after the operation: dn: uid=sgarza,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com ou: People ou: Product Testing
