Description
Initializes the LDAP connection information variables. Uses variables for all
connection information so that any changes have to be made in only one
place.
Sets the default values of empty strings for the form field value variables.
The data entry form uses cfinput fields with
form can be prefilled and so that, if the user submits an incomplete form,
ColdFusion can retain any entered values in the form when it redisplays
the page.
Ensures that the user entered a User ID in the form.
If the user clicks Add, processes the code that follows.
If any field in the submitted form is blank, display a message and set the
other form fields to display data that the user submitted.
If the user entered data in all fields, sets the attributelist variable to specify
the entry's attributes, including the object class and the organizational
unit (in this case, Human Resources).
The Trim function removes leading or trailing spaces from the user data.
Adds the new entry to the directory.
