Directory Server Entries

This chapter discusses how to manage the data entries in your directory. It also describes how to set referrals, encrypt attribute values, and compress entries.

When planning a directory deployment, you need to characterize the types of data that the directory will contain. Read the relevant chapters in the Oracle Directory Server Enterprise Edition Deployment Planning Guide before creating entries and modifying the default schema.

You cannot modify your directory unless the appropriate access control instructions (ACIs) have been defined. For further information, see Chapter 6, Directory Server Access Control.

This chapter covers the following topics:

• Managing Entries

• Grouping Entries for Simplified Management

• Compressing Entries

• Setting Referrals

• Checking Valid Attribute Syntax

• Tracking Modifications to Directory Entries
