Modify a Directory Entry
You can use the PATCH method to modify user attributes from the directory.
The command examples use the URL structure:
http(s)://host:port/rest/v1/directory
See Send Requests.
This example shows how to modify an attribute street for the uid=Marcia Garza.
To modify the attribute, submit a request to http://host:port/rest/v1/directory/<directory entry DN> using the PATCH method with the following payload:
{
"opType": "replace",
"attribute": "street",
"values": ["California"]
}
Example
curl -i -X PATCH -u cn=Directory Manager:******* -H Content-type:application/json http://myhost:7001/rest/v1/directory/uid=Marcia Garza,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com
If successful, the response body returns a status code of 200 that confirms the attribute update.
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
The following shows an example of the response.
