Task: Create directory service item

To create an item in the directory service, for instance a user account, the following script actions are used:

1. Setup LDAP session: Connect to the LDAP Server and authenticate the directory service user account that is used to perform the update. Depending on the configuration, a secure session can be initialized;
2. Load LDAP modification data: Initialize all the attributes and attributes values that are required to create the directory service item. The exact attributes and values used vary for each directory service and are determined by the directory service schema;
3. Add directory service object (LDAP): Add the item to the directory service using the LDAP modification data prepared in the previous step.

The attributes and attribute values vary for each directory service. This document contains examples that show how to create a user account in Novell eDirectory, LINUX OpenLDAP and Microsoft Active Directory.
