Moving a Directory Object

  • Article

The following code example moves the Consulting organizational unit down one level to the Sales organizational unit in the fabrikam.com LDAP directory.

<se:Envelope xmlns:se="https://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
   <se:Body xmlns="urn:oasis:names:tc:DSML:2:0:core">
      <batchRequest xmlns="urn:oasis:names:tc:DSML:2:0:core" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
         <modDNRequest dn="ou=Consulting,ou=DSMLTesting,dc=fabrikam,dc=com" 
                       newrdn="ou=Consulting" newSuperior="ou=Sales,ou=DSMLTesting,dc=fabrikam,dc=com"/>
      </batchRequest>
   </se:Body>
</se:Envelope>

The se:Envelope and se:Body SOAP elements enclose the DSML payload. The first element of the DSML payload, batchRequest, is the mandatory top-level element for all DSML V2 requests. The modDNRequest element moves the existing Consulting organizational unit below the Sales organizational unit in the directory.
