ou can add
new entries to the directory using the Directory Server interface. By default,
you can add a person, group,
organizational unit, or organization
through the interface.
When you add an entry, make sure that an entry representing a branch point is created before new entries are created under that branch. For example, if you want to place entries in a Marketing subtree and in an Accounting subtree, then create the branch point for those subtrees before creating entries within the subtrees:
o=Ace Industry, c=US ou=Marketing, o=Ace Industry, c=US ... Marketing subtree entries. ... ou=Accounting, o=Ace Industry, c=US ... Accounting subtree entries.
For more information about the syntax for new entries, see "Understanding distinguished names".
To cancel the operation at any time, close the browser window or select another task from the row of buttons at the top of the window.
Make sure an appropriate parent entry exists before you try to add the entry.
You must supply values for the required fields. The required fields for a person are:
You may provide values for the optional fields now, or edit them later. The optional fields for a person are:
First Name | Phone | E-Mail Address | ||

Organizational Unit | Manager | Room Number | ||
Admin | Dept# | Emp# | ||

Note that you can enter a distinguished name in the Manager field if you already have an entry for the manager in the directory. Because the distinguished name helps the Directory Server identify the corresponding entry for the manager, the Directory Server can present the users with a link that goes directly to the manager's entry. (In the listing of information about the employee, the manager's name will appear as a link that you can click to go to the manager's entry.)
Make sure an appropriate parent entry exists before you try to add the entry.

Make sure an appropriate parent entry exists before you try to add the entry.
o=Ace Industry, c=US
to the Database Subtree field, then you must specify a value of:
o=Ace Industry
when you add the organization. The reason for this is that the Directory Server checks the add operation to ensure that the directory entry can exist with the database subtree. Any value other than:
o=Ace Industry
o=Ace Industry, c=US
As a result, the Directory Server will reject the operation.
You must supply values for the required fields. The required field for an organization is:
You may provide values for the optional fields now, or edit them later. The optional fields for an organization are:
