8.5. Managing Organizational Units
Administrators can use organizational units (OU) as a container for directory entries. For example, you can use OUs to separate user and group entries. To manage OUs in Directory Server, use the
dsidm organizationalunit command.
- To create an OU, enter:
# dsidm -D "cn=Directory Manager" ldap://server.example.com -b "dc=example,dc=com" organizationalunit create --ou OU_name
- To list the OUs in an entry, enter:
# dsidm -D "cn=Directory Manager" ldap://server.example.com -b "dc=example,dc=com" organizationalunit list People ...
- To rename an OU, enter:
# dsidm -D "cn=Directory Manager" ldap://server.example.com -b "dc=example,dc=com" organizationalunit rename old_name new_name
- To delete an OU, enter:
# dsidm -D "cn=Directory Manager" ldap://server.example.com -b "dc=example,dc=com" organizationalunit delete OU_name
