Copy an entry

This function is useful if you are creating similar entries. The copy inherits all the attributes of the original. You need to make some modifications to name the new entry.

If you have not done so already, expand the Directory management category in the navigation area, then click Manage entries. You can expand the various subtrees and select the entry, such as John Doe, that you want to work on. Click Copy from the right-side tool bar.

• Change the RDN entry in the DN field. For example change cn=John Doe to cn=Jim Smith.
• On the required attributes tab, change the cn entry to the new RDN. In this example Jim Smith.
• Change the other required attributes as appropriate. In this example change the sn attribute from Doe to Smith.
• When you have finished making the necessary changes click OK to create the new entry.
• The new entry Jim Smith is added to the bottom of the entry list.
