Modifying a Directory Entry

To modify an entry you must bind to the directory, supplying your distinguished name and password. Not all attributes can be modified using the Web Gateway. To modify an attribute of an entry:

  1. Display the entry that you want to modify.

    At the end of the attribute list there is a Modify Attributes button. Depending on the configuration of your Web Gateway, there may also be buttons for modifying specific attributes.

  2. Click on the button for modifying the attribute you want to change, or click on the Modify Attributes button.

    If you are not logged in, an authentication request window is displayed. See "Authentication" for information. Enter your distinguished name and password.

    The access controls defined for the entry will determine whether you are permitted to modify any attributes in the entry.

  3. Supply a new value for the attribute you want to modify.

  4. When you have finished modifying the entry, click the Apply button.
