To Add an Attribute to an Object Class

  1. In the object class list, highlight the object class to which you want to add an attribute, and choose Modify Class/Attribute from the Selected menu.

    The Modify Object Class window is displayed. The name of the object class you are modifying is displayed in the General section of this window. The mandatory and optional attributes for that object class are listed in the Object class attributes section.

  2. In the Defined Attributes list, highlight the attribute that you want to add.

  3. Select the mode of the attribute (Mandatory or Optional) from the pop-up menu.

  4. Click Add to add the attribute to the object class definition.

  5. Click OK to save the modified object class definition.

    This change will take effect when you restart the dsservd daemon.

    To change the mode of an attribute that is already included in the object class definition, select the attribute in the Class attributes list and change the mode using the Mode pop-up menu.
