Moving a Resource to a Different LDAP Container

Resources listed in an LDAP container can be moved to a different LDAP container. This may be desired, for instance, if an employee has moved to a different department or location within the company.

Note that you also use this function to change a resource’s DN if it no longer matches the DN in the LDAP source.

To move a resource to a different LDAP container, or to change a resource’s DN:

Procedure

  1. In the resource list, select the resource you want to move.
  2. From the resource list Tools menu, select Rename / Move Resource.

    The Rename / Move Resource dialog is displayed:

    Note: You can also rename a resource from this dialog. For information, see Renaming a Resource .
  3. From the LDAP Container field, select the LDAP container to which you want to move the resource.

    This causes the LDAP source(s) for the destination container to be listed:

  4. In the LDAP DN field for each LDAP source, enter the DN that uniquely identifies the resource in that specific LDAP source. For example:

    Note that there is no way to select the DN for each LDAP source, nor is there any validation on the value that is entered in the LDAP DN field. Therefore, it is your responsibility to ensure that DNs entered are correct.

    If an entered DN does not match the structure in the LDAP source, an "alert" icon () is shown for the resource in the resource list for the destination LDAP container after you click Save.

  5. Click Save to save the changes and close the dialog.
