meric characters for ou objects.
Here is the posAdmin command syntax for adding an organizationalUnit object in
LDAP (type the command all on one line):
posAdmin.pl --user dn_of_admin_user --password password --base base_context
--add --organizationalUnit --ou ou_name [--description `string´]
Table 6.1, "Attributes for organizationalUnit Objects" (page 56) summarizes the orga-
nizationalUnit object attributes.
Table 6.1

--ou ou_name
--description
`string´
For example, the following command adds the boston organizational unit to the LDAP
directory and gives it the description "main headquarters":
posAdmin.pl --user cn=admin,o=mycorp,c=us --password secret --base
o=mycorp,c=us --add --organizationalUnit --ou boston --description 'main
headquarters'
The LDAP context of the newly created organizationalUnit is the
ou=boston,o=mycorp,c=us directory.
