LDIF format to modify LDAP directories.

=Formating=
Begin a line with pound sign (''#'') for commenting. The first line should be the distinguished name (DN). The next line is the ''changetype'' and a directive. Finally, next lines are the directive's required parameters (one per line). You could change directives by adding a line with just a dash (''-''). 

Example:

 dn: uid=belminf,ou=users,dc=bfworks,dc=com
 changetype: modify
 delete: aliases
 -
 add: aliases
 othernames: belmin

If you want to modify a different record, use an empty blank line as a delimiter.

=Modify a record=
To modify attributes of an existing record use ''changetype: modify''.

==Add attributes==

 dn: uid=belminf,ou=users,dc=bfworks,dc=com
 changetype: modify
 add: aliases
 aliases: belmin

If the attribute exists, the new value(s) will simply be appended to the existing ones.

To add multiple values:

 dn: uid=belminf,ou=users,dc=bfworks,dc=com
 changetype: modify
 add: aliases
 aliases: belmin
 aliases: bel

And you could replace all the values already set in the attribute by using the [[#replace directive|replace directive]].

==Delete attributes==
The following deletes all values of an attribute:

 dn: uid=belminf,ou=users,dc=bfworks,dc=com
 changetype: modify
 delete: aliases

And to delete just a single value of an attribute:

 dn: uid=belminf,ou=users,dc=bfworks,dc=com
 changetype: modify
 delete: aliases
 aliases: belmincito

==Replace attributes==
This will replace all the values of an attribute:

 dn: uid=belmin,ou=users,dc=bfworks,dc=com
 changetype: modify
 replace: aliases
 aliases: belminf

If you want to replace a single value of an attribute, you could use a [[#delete directive|delete directive]] and then [[#add directive|add directive]]:

 dn: uid=belminf,ou=users,dc=bfworks,dc=com
 changetype: modify
 delete: aliases
 aliases: belmstr
 -
 add: aliases
 aliases: belmeister

=Create a record=
To create a new record, use ''changetype: add''.

 dn: uid=belminf,ou=users,dc=bfworks,dc=com
 changetype: add
 objectclass: top
 objectclass: person
 cn: Belmin Fernandez
 givenName: Belmin
 sn: Fernandez
 uid: belminf

=Deleting a record=
To delete a record, the ''changetype: delete'' directive is used:

 dn: uid=belminf,ou=users,dc=bfworks,dc=com
 changetype: delete

=Moving a record=
changetype: moddn/modrn
