# \<LDAPAdd> element

An `LDAPAdd` element has the following XML attributes:

* `DNTemplate`: a required element specifying a template that is used to construct the distinguished name (DN) *(tooltip: \<div class="paragraph">
  \<p>A name uniquely identifying an object within the hierarchy of a directory tree.\</p>
  \</div>)* of an entry representing a System for Cross-domain Identity Management (SCIM) *(tooltip: \<div class="paragraph">
  \<p>An application-level, HTTP-based protocol for provisioning and managing user identity information. SCIM supplies a common schema for representing users and groups and provides a REST API.\</p>
  \</div>)* resource when it is created. The template can reference values of the entry after it has been mapped using `{ldapAttr}`, where `ldapAttr` is the name of an Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) *(tooltip: \<div class="paragraph">
  \<p>An open, cross platform protocol used for interacting with directory services.\</p>
  \</div>)* attribute.

* `fixedAttribute`: zero or more elements specifying fixed LDAP values to be inserted into the entry after it has been mapped from the SCIM resource.
