Adding New Users With The DSGW
The DSGW
lets you easily add new users to the directory. In practice, this
procedure is only used to make simple changes to the directory, or to test
a new installation by adding some sample entries. Large numbers of
entries would normally be added to the directory using an LDIF
import operation.
Adding New Users
You add new users by clicking the New Entry tab at the
top of the form, or click the New Entry link in the body of the
form. This takes you to the page pictured below.
By following each step, a new entry is initiated. Clicking Continue
takes you to a page where detailed information about the new entry can
be added. When all of the pertinent data is added, clicking Save
New Person adds the entry to the Directory Server database.
