Name (--name) [organizational unit object]

Objects with this attribute

Usage

Object Manager Name In the box, type the name you want to use for the organizational unit object. For example, Finance.
Command line --name name Replace name with the full TFN name of the object. For example, ".../_ens/o=Indigo Insurance/ou=Finance".

Description

This attribute specifies the name of the organizational unit object in the Tarantella datastore.

Names can include any characters you want. However we recommend that you avoid using the backslash \ character, the plus + character and apostrophes in object names as this can cause problems.

If you use a forward slash in an object name, you must backslash protect (escape) it. For example, to create an object with the name ou=a/b beneath o=organisation, type ou=a\/b. This will create an object o=organisation/"ou=a/b".

Examples

--name ".../_ens/o=Indigo Insurance/ou=Finance"

Defines the name of the organizational unit object as Finance. The object belongs to the organization object, Indigo Insurance (which must already exist).
