The Connection.add()
methods let you provide the
entry to add as an AddRequest
, an Entry
,
or as LDIF. If the changes to make are already expressed in LDIF, then
you can also use ChangeRecordReader
s,
ChangeRecord
s, and ChangeRecordWriter
s
to handle the changes.
The following excerpt demonstrates how to add a simple user entry under
ou=People,dc=example,dc=com
.
// An entry to add to the directory Entry entry = new LinkedHashMapEntry("cn=Bob,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com") .addAttribute("cn", "Bob") .addAttribute("objectclass", "top") .addAttribute("objectclass", "person") .addAttribute("objectclass", "organizationalPerson") .addAttribute("objectclass", "inetOrgPerson") .addAttribute("mail", "subgenius@example.com") .addAttribute("sn", "Dobbs"); final LDAPConnectionFactory factory = new LDAPConnectionFactory(host, port); Connection connection = null; try { connection = factory.getConnection(); // Bind as a user who has the right to add entries. connection.bind(adminDN, adminPwd); connection.add(entry); } catch (final ErrorResultException e) { System.err.println(e.getMessage()); System.exit(e.getResult().getResultCode().intValue()); return; } finally { if (connection != null) { connection.close(); } }
