Basic Actions; Adding An Organizational Unit - Novell SLRS 8 Admin Manual

7 PosAdmin
--base o=mycorp,c=de
--base ou=berlin,o=mycorp,c=de
In some cases, you can also set an abbreviation or a common name for the
base. This is only possible if the common name is a unique value in the
database.
--base hamburg
If posAdmin cannot determine the base — no or more than one base is found
— it will exit with an error message.
Another basic option is --help. This option shows a usage message with the
basic options.

7.2 Basic Actions

As mentioned above, posAdmin has four basic actions. With posAdmin, add
several objects as briefly described in Table 7.1. Each object has two types of
attributes: must and may attributes. The must attributes are the minimum
requirements for an object.
Option
--organizationalUnit a region or a city with several branches
--scLocation
--scServerContainer
--scService
--scHAService
--scBranchServer
--scNetworkcard

7.2.1 Adding an Organizational Unit

An organizational unit is a region, a city, or a subdivision. Its main purpose is
to structure the LDAP directory. They are instruments for visualizing the struc-
ture or organization of your company. Organizational units can be nested.
With posAdmin.pl, add an organizational unit with the following command:
posAdmin.pl --user cn=admin,o=mycorp,c=de \
--password secret --base o=mycorp,c=de \
--add --organizationalUnit --ou berlin
