DN and Attribute Rewriting

You can configure Directory Proxy Server to automatically modify the DN, attribute types, and attribute values of entries. A client application view of an entry can thus be significantly different from what is stored in the directory.

DN rewriting is supported for the following operations on one DN:

• Add

• Bind

• Compare

• Delete

• Modify

• Modify DN

DN rewriting is also supported for the search operation base and the result entry DNs. The following figure illustrates how you can configure DN mapping using the Directory Service Control Center.

You can also use the Directory Service Control Center to map attributes, as illustrated in the following figure.
