Adding entries to an existing PingDirectory server

To add entries to an existing PingDirectory server while preserving operational attributes such as createTimestamp or modifiersName, attach the Ignore No User Modification control to the request.

About this task

The Ignore No User Modification control allows modification of certain attributes that have the No User Modification constraint.

The Ignore No User Modification only applies to ADD requests. If you use the control to modify an existing entry, it results in an operational attribute change and fail.

To append entries to an existing PingDirectory server, perform the following steps:

Steps

Run the ldapmodify command with the Ignore No User Modification control.

Example:

The Object Identifier (OID) for the control is 1.3.6.1.4.1.30221.2.5.5.
```
$ bin/ldapmodify --control 1.3.6.1.4.1.30221.2.5.5 \
  --filename change-record.ldif
```
